Simple projector that does the job
It's a simple basic theater projector, it can project from 30”-150” on any flat surface but it does come with a 100” screen, input sources from a usb drive, hdmi , AV, VGA or TF card, you can even project a gaming console, blu-ray player or cable box, it's a very small projector with height adjustmentand comes with a remote control, ac power adapter, 100” screen and carrying bag, it says it supports 1080P, if your looking for something basic just to do the job than this will definitely do. One last thing, The only thing that this projector is missing is Bluetooth.

    Bring the Big Screen Home
    With the seasons changing and less time outside for the kids they can get pretty bored. Coming up with with fun things for them to do can be tricky as preteens. With the RCA, 480P LCD HD Home Theater Projector I can bring the bring screen to them. What I like is that the screen is that it's foldable and easy to set up and put away. It's a large size at 100” which my kids love. The projector has two HDMI ports that allows for easy set up to your devices like Blue-Ray, video game consoles, and streaming devices. There's no need to have to get up and raise the volume or pause the movie either because a remote comes included. This would make a great addition for any game room, family room or anyone looking to expand their viewing screen.

    Fun to Use
    The RCA home theater projector is a fun way to watch movies. I placed the projector and 100ft theater screen out in the back yard to watch a movie at night and my family and I really enjoyed it. It's an exciting way to watch movies, instead of watching them on a television screen or indoor movie theater. The picture quality of this projector is fantastic. I can clearly see the movie and there are no distractions as to having a wrinkled screen or bad picture resolution. Im very happy with the great brightness that this projector has to transmit the movies. The sound quality is also very good. I can hear the voices and background sound very clearly. The volume adjustment for the sound is fantastic, I was able to listen to the whole movie with no sound problems. It is very easy to install and only took 10 minutes to go through the instructions and set up. I love that it has an HDMI cable , which is so convenient to hook up my devices. The projector is super convenient to use in many places outside from my back yard. Im planning to take it on camping trips and the beach. Im very happy with the quality of this projector. I know i will have lots of fun watching my movies on this projector. I definitely recommend.

    Will make a great gift
    The RCA, 480P LCD HD Home Theater Projector with Bonus 100" Fold up Projector Screen works great. The bonus 100" screen is an awesome added bonus to the projector especially since you can store it away right after you use it. I like that it is included because not I don't have to worry about where to projector my pictures. I mainly use the projector for my sewing projects since I buy pdf versions of sewing patterns specifically made to use with a projector. I also like the brand RCA because I find it trustworthy. I'm sure it will last a good while. This would make a great gift for someone, just remember to include some popcorn too. My kids will be enjoying this probably more than me toonsince I plan to project some of their games.

    Love it!
    Easy to use and light enough to travel with. Compact enough to throw in a backpack. We used this at a backyard get-together. Hooked it up to my laptop for a memorial video and let it play on a loop. Worked great and will be even more amazing for the Summer nights we like to watch TV out back.

    Movie nights just got better!!
    My family enjoys movie nights so much with this home theater! You can choose if you want to use the bonus theater screen or you can perfectly just watch your favorite movies or shows on a wall which is what we ended up doing since we have an extra living room and will be using the theater screen for outdoor events. The image is really good we were actually surprised how clear it was and how easy it is to adjust the zoom and tilt level, sound is also good. It also has the option for you to connect your surround sound system if you want more volume. You get a remote control, power adapter, and a carrying bag for those days that the get togethers or parties are somewhere else you can take your projector with you! For the price I would say this projector is well worth it!

    Works well
    Used this for a movie night. Just need to adjust the settings and make sure the length between the projector and screen lines up for the best movie effect. It's really big so make sure you have a steady surface no one trips over it.

    Awesome budget buy!
    this little projector is fab. when you first are setting it up it will be blurry but then you use the adjustments to fix and fine tune the photo quality. and can further adjust by moving the projector further away/closer. The picture i posted was taken during the day, no lights on/natural light from outside and the display is plenty bright to see good picture and thats with my wall being textured. super easy set up, just plug it in.. then in your firestick or roku, turn it on and you are ready to go. the speaker is plenty loud for us but for group movie nights we will probably buy speakers to plug in with a basic aux output. dont forget you will need an extension chord to run the projector power.

    Value Projector
    The RCA 480P LCD HD projector is definitely a budget projector that works well in certain conditions. It is very small and compact. It is easy to move around and very light. When I first hooked up my laptop via one of the HDMI inputs it took a bit of maneuvering to get the image to show up square and in focus. I appreciate that there were two HDMI ports in case you wanted to hook up multiple devices. If you set this projector in a permanent location, you can use the remote to switch devices. The focus dial does not lend itself for fine adjustments so you will have to be patient with it. The image is average if there is light in the room. The image is not that bright. The projector is definitely designed for a room with no light. It is nice that the projector can play sounds in case you don't have any speakers. Once again, this is a value project so don't expect it to sound like a movie theater with surround sound. Overall, I would recommend this projector if you have a room with no light and need something that is easy to set up.

    Excellent picture quality, great value!
    If you have ever wanted a home theater projector, don't wait. This has been a total game changer for movie night and made our TV watching far more fun. We recently went to a neighbor's BBQ with my son and his friends and were able to project a movie onto their backyard wall. We were those cool, techy parents for the evening and everyone had a blast! I had so many people asking questions about the projector and taking pictures of it to ensure they bought the right one. That's how good this projector is! It is incredibly easy to use and has such a clear, crisp picture. It's also less than 2lbs so it's easy to transport. I have a few TVs mounted in my house and if I had this projector sooner, I'd probably have used this in my living room instead. It's just as easy and clear but it's portable and can easily be tucked away. Now I project shows when I'm gardening or when we barbeque. My sister has a pool so she's definitely getting one for her upcoming birthday! We already had an extra speaker and it plugged in nicely. I only use speakers when we have a lot of people over so everyone can hear from far across the yard and over everyone's voices. However I haven't found added speakers necessary when we use the projector indoors. It pairs well with gaming consoles, blue-ray players, Roku, Apple TV, phones, etc. Just buy the correct cord and you're set! Also comes with a white screen! There are a lot of projectors out there and they really vary in price but trust me when I say, you don't need to break the bank to experience quality picture.

    Very cool for a starter projector
    I was a little hesitant when initially unpacking the projector. It has bags of instructions and I couldn't figure out which was the correct one. One English and one no, all it took was my patience and me reading. The setup was actually easy. Make sure to have 2 AAA batteries on hand for the remote (batteries not included). I will wait for my daughter come home to help figure out the HDMI cable connection. For now, I thought it was so cool to use my SD card and view all those old pics from my old phone. If you're like me, you rarely print photos anymore. So, for the future I during family gatherings I plan to pull out my handy dandy projector and show those old photos. Be sure to adjust the lens by twisting to reduce the blur, after removing the lens cover.

    Great value for all-in-one home theater projector
    When you are not wanting to spend hundreds of dollars on a projector, you end up with countless projector options but very mixed video quality experiences. What this RCA 480p projector offers is pretty good video quality in an incredible value package; perfect for the kids to enjoy a movie night without breaking the bank. We've been switching between our Roku and Fire sticks (both work perfectly well with the HDMI port on the projector) to get access to all of our streaming apps. Don't expect 4K-equivalent video quality that you see on the latest HDTVs, and make sure to follow recommendations to darken your room environment as much as possible (like with any projector), and you're set for a movie night with the family. I recommend grabbing your best portable speaker (that has AUX 3.5mm input) and connecting it to the speaker for better audio. Pros: - Very compact and portable - Package includes almost everything you need (including a foldable screen) - The foldable screen comes with mounting hardware - Has every popular connection you'd need and more (2 x HDMI, 1 x VGA, memory card, USB) - Has 3.5mm AUX output for external speakers/headphones Cons: - Like with many projectors, room needs to be quite dark for best experience - It's nice that the kit even includes a carry bag, but it's crazy flimsy and you'd still want something stronger for better protection - Huge power brick/adapter (always annoying if outlets don't have the space)

    Smaller than expected
    This projector is much smaller that I thought it would be. It is only about 7 3/4 by 6 inches big. It does not have a DVD slot, but you can play DVDs by connecting it to a DVD player. It also has a head phone jack for quiet viewing. And it can be hooked up to a Firestick as well as a Computer. As long as you have the source of the material you want to watch available, you are good to go. The screen is like a thicker sheet, and the problem could be the hook-up. I do t know if there would be some sort of stand that would be able to hang the screen, but for outdoor viewing you née either a white wall to project onto, or you need to find 2 trees where the screen can be tight to. Our unit had a scratch of about an inch long and 2 mm wide. It's not a deal breaker, but I would not expect that straight out of the box.

    Great projector for games and movies!
    I have been searching for a long time for a home projector. There are so many things to take into consideration when deciding which one to get. My family plays video games (PLAYSTATION AND XBOX) and watch many DVD movies often so it must have enough HDMI ports that can accommodate such connection. It also needs to be somewhat lightweight and portable friendly because our plan was to take it with us to other family member's home when need to and we also intend on using the projector to watch movies out in the backyard. After much research, we came about this RCA 480 LCD HD Home Theater Projector with the bonus 100” fold up projector screen. Not only does it check off all the boxes of our needs, it also comes with a bonus 100” screen that we didn't even consider purchasing beforehand! The manual really helped us out when it comes with understanding the projector, setting up, and connection it to the Wifi. This is our first projector and it took some time to learn. We first set up the projector about 7' away from the screen and it seems like the perfect distance for the best view in my opinion. After some adjustment with the color and focus resolution, we found that the picture is a bit dark no matter how we tried to change it. That is not a deal breaker though because everything else is perfect for us. The projector comes with 2 HDMI ports so we were able to connect our Playstation and laptop to play games and watch movies. The bonus screen is nice, but we opted to use our bright white wall instead when watching movies because it seems clearer this way, (we have black-out curtains). Overall, this is a great projector that fits my family's needs. We have only used it indoors for now, but plan on using it outdoors once the weather warms up!

    Good for your first
    I was so excited to receive my RCA 480 LCP HD home theater projector. When unboxing I notice how light weight this projector was. Which is a thing because I will be carrying this to family back yard movie nights to make it even more enjoyable. This baby comes with a bonus screen and everything you need to attach it to where you're going to be streaming.the reason for the 4 stars is because I wish It was Bluetooth which would of made things so much more convenient. The video quality is good.

    Bring the theaters outside
    With the RCA, 480P LCD HD Home Theater Projector watching movies on the big screen at home is now a possibility. What I'm so excited about is to use this projector during the summer nights outdoors and host movie nights. With the 100” foldable screen that is included it makes watching movies and even shows so easy. This projector has two HDMI ports that allows you to easily connect your devices like Blue-Ray, video game consoles, and streaming devices. There's no need to get up to raise the volume or pause the movie either because a remote comes included. This would make a great addition for backyard movie right and even a great gift for your movie enthusiast.

    Extremely happy - considering $49 sale price
    This was better than expected. I hooked a Roku up to it to test it and just pointed it at the garage wall. The volume is ok, I will add a speaker. Picture quality is excellent for the price. The paid around $300 for our previous projector and the picture quality is almost as good.
