[Electric Focus] GROVIEW Mini Projector Bluetooth,

Balanced
I have tested this projector and compared it to the not the cheapest Chinese projectors from Ali Express. Despite being not as bright and not having the built-in android TV, I would rather use this projector than the ones I do have. For the comparison I will use HY300 and HY320 from Magcubic. What caught my attention immediately after turning it on is a pretty decent lens. Despite being a 720p projector, the image is pretty sharp! I did not notice any loss of sharpness on a single corner, like many cheaper projectors are likely to have. The quality of image is even throughout the whole surface. So 720p, but very good 720p. I was puzzled that it is sharper than HY320, about half a much brighter projector with 1080p resolution. In the case of HY320, when set focus to center, it is very sharp there, but even a little to the side, not even a corner, and the image is a blurry mess. This projector has a good lens, I cannot stress this enough! It is a deal breaker! Hands down!Another thing is the system. It has a built- in video player, I really like it. Speaker is OK, but to make it better, play with a simple equalizer to match your taste. The dustproof protection is a real deal, not a single foreign object got sucked inside. I want to underline that the projector turns on very quickly. I was surprised how important that is. I am switching from sitting at the desk to laying on bed, where my projector is. 5 seconds to turn on is a big deal, as you can quickly turn it on and off whenever you like, without waiting 2 minutes like in HY320 case. This saves power.And it’s not very loud either! The fan is quieter than many other small projectors.Another word about the system. Because the system is simple, input lag allows me to use it with the computer comfortably. There is little to none delay. The system allows you to change the brightness and contrast, so when the environment is not the night, you can tweak it just a tiny bit to see more. Och and I forgot about the most important thing: the colours. It’s not like they are incredibly vivid that your eyes turn into a rainbow or anything. That is not the case when it comes to projectors. The projector is good when you can look at it and your eyes do not hurt. Trust me, hy300 and hy320 are really bad in this case. Hard on the eyes. But this one has not only decently adjusted colors, but also the gamma too! In Chinese projectors, contrast is crazy and the blacks are too black. What should be visible is pitch black. That’s a huge problem when watching movies, as most of them are rather darker than brighter.If I were to describe it in one word, that would be “Balance”. Everything it does, is at last good. That is my opinion, and as you can see by the length of this review, I am quite into projectors and technical things.

Decent Quality Projector
Features I liked about this projector are its design and appearance, picture quality, built-in speakers and Bluetooth capabilities. It was easy to setup to a portable dvd player with just the HDMI provided and a USB to USB-C cable for power that worked by connecting to the projector itself so minimized all the cords I had to plug in compared to my older model projector. It has a pretty decent built in speaker that I felt was pretty loud but also capable netted to my Bluetooth speaker for additional volume and that was easy to figure out. The brightness and focus was good; however, I couldn’t adjust the brightness settings in the menu for some reason. Despite this, I did a quick test outdoors on my patio to see if the projector was strong/bright enough to work outdoors and was pleasantly surprised to see that I was able to see the screen decently well during the day. (My other projector did not perform as well so that you cannot see the screen at all during the day because it is not a bright enough light.) A couple of features I felt could be improved were connectivity to my phone… it did not work as it appeared to show in the manual so I was unable to use my phone as an input, but maybe I didn’t have the right cable? I also noticed it didn’t seem to have any angle/tilt functions to adjust the screen for any kind of setup other than directly level and even with your screen setup, so I had to use books or be creative with placement. The remote control was the other minor thing that would be nicer if it came with batteries, so you will need to provide 2 AAA batteries for the remote upon setup. Otherwise, I fell like this was a pretty decent projector for the style, with was decently compact to fit in my bag, and a reasonable value for my money.

Nothing like autofocus.
I own a handful of projectors. But one of my favorite things you find and only a few projectors is the autofocus component. This item has that and has a decent brightness. So for a simple affordable projector not bad, it’s lightweight and you do have to plug it in. It hooked up my fire stick and had no problem playing shows. The audio works just fine better than some. For the cost, the weight and the autofocus are not a bad find. It has all the specs that it lists and it’s description page. The only thing that would make it an ideal find would be 1080 native. But I knew I was obtaining a 720 HD which is still not bad.
