Picture quality was average, but bright enough for use in a partially lighted or dim room. Speakers were adequate for listening in an average sized room. The fan was audible, but did not detract from the viewing experience once a movie or video was playing. I particularly liked the fact that not much space was needed in order to get a 100 to 120 inch screen on a wall. I found the Gimbal design to be a good tool for angling the projector but it was fairly stiff and not as easy to manipulate as others that I used in the past. The exhaust from the fans blew towards the rear and was fairly warm. All in all, this projector performed reasonably for the price but I found it to be underwhelming. I would give it a 6 out of 10 for overall satisfaction. 3 stars out of 5. There are better budget deals at or near this price point. Definitely NOT a must have.
