There was some disappointment in the packaging -- The manual claimed that there would be batteries included for the remote, but there were none. Unfortunately, the remote is essential for this device as its only button is an on/off. My only other minor gripe is that it only has a single focus dial instead of a rough and fine focus. What this comes out to is that you are going to have a very defined range and screen size within which you can achieve a focus. All in all, neither of these are a big deal.It really does seem to be 720p. The luminosity is acceptable for a dark room. It's a very small and handy form factor with an easy to carry handle. The speakers built into it are powerful and clear. The USB functionality is simple and effective. All for under $100! This is the best value you're going to get. Aesthetically and functionally, it's a perfect fit with my Anker Power House 200, but I haven't tested it with it yet. I think Dser should look into making a modification of this model to include an internal battery, because it is so handy and portable that it's a shame not to leverage that.I'm sure I'll one day discover what makes this a bad projector. It isn't terribly feature-full, but I don't need a bunch of features. I just need something with a nice picture, nice sound, HDMI input, and this is all of the above. In my experience, it's unheard of to get a decent 720p projector at this price.
