I got this projector so I could more easily do a mural in my home, so that's all I've used it for so far. However, I have found this little projector to work as described. It is small and light - when I use it, I put it atop a flat music stand and can easily move it around. It was easy to figure out - I recall the instructions not being super helpful so I think I must have looked up instructions online - nonetheless, I don't recall using it for the first time to be overly dramatic. I connect it to my phone and project an image from there, which was easy to do once I understood the stops. Given that I used this for a mural, I can attest to the projection, but not the sound, so I'm not sure how that would be. Overall, I'm glad I bought it and I may try to use is in lieu of a TV one day.
