If you are in the market for a portable projector, I would say that this is the best choice.
I researched a ton on amazon and youtube before making the decision to buy this projector.
My concern when I was about to place the order was that there was only 1 review and it was not detailed enough for me to make the leap. Finally, I decided to follow my gut and I am glad I did.
I am a minimalist and own a Intel NUC desktop (if you have not heard of this and are in the market for a desktop pc for purposes other than gaming, I would highly recommend checking Intel's home grown line of portable PCs. These pack a punch for the form size.) I wanted a display that has a similar form factor without compromising heavily on the picture quality and that is what brought me to this product.
Features I fell in love with:
- Works pretty well in a well lit room when plugged into the power source (when unplugged and running on battery, the brightness drops to about 200 lumens assuming the powered output is 500 lumens - not scientifically measured)
- The colors are really vibrant and reproduces exactly what I had on my desktop monitor
- Extremely small and light (see the product description for dimensions and weight)
- Most controls are located on the projector itself. Just in case, you lose the remote the projector will not become useless.
- The autofocus and auto keystone correction are pretty impressive.
- It is short throw projector meaning it can project large images from shorter distances than a typical projector.
The uploaded images show a comparison between the S2 Beam (500 Lumens claimed) (bottom projected image) and DBPower L21 (4200 Lumen claimed) (top projected image). Although the DBPower is supposed to have 8 times more brightness, the S2 beam beats in picture quality and matches the brightness levels. There is a factor of 4x in pricing while the S2 Beam is 1/4th or less the size of DBPower L21 and hence it is not a fair comparison for either, but those are the one two projectors I had handy to give some perspective.
