Dangbei Neo Mini Projector Netflix-Licensed, Compact Native Full HD 1080P ISO 540 Lumen Projector

Update:Dangbei customer service was very quick to reply to the small concern I mentioned about the auto-focus to try to not change if the image is temlorarily interrupted by objects passing in front. They wrote me back saying they are actively working on an update!Previous review below...Last year, I finally decided to prepare my movie set-up downstairs and ended up doing a lot of research into projectors and ended up getting a Dangbei Mars Pro 4k. I had not heard of the company before but did find that it is well known world-wide. I was very impressed by the device. So much so that this year I decided to check what other options they had for a more portable one at a lower price point that I mat be able to take along when I travel. My search led me to the Dangbei Neo (which you can now get on sale for $539).This little beauty is pretty stylish and includes a good number of pre-installed streaming apps, to include Netflix and Amazon Prime. It also has access to its own app store, which seems to be comparable to Roku’s offerings. It even had OAN news, as an example. Now let’s go to some of the technical stuff.The Neo does offer auto focus and keystone correction, both of which it does quite well. However, I find that I can do a better job doing keystone correction manually, but that’s just me. I also do it with my other projectors. The only thing I find annoying is that the auto focus will trigger automatic correction whenever something blocks the image temporarily (like a kid standing in front of the screen, of which I have several that like to move and play around!). I wish the focus had an option to just stay put! The projector also triggers auto focus and keystone whenever you first start it up, so you will have to wait a little longer and reset your desired keystone manually if you normally do so like I do.The image quality is great! I was amazed at how much it approaches the one of my Mars Pro 4k. The info. says that it is 540 ISO, but it seems to come quite close to another that I had that was ISO 1500. I’ve included an image that shows how it looks with outside light and another with the curtains closed (the blurriness was from the movie scene, not the projector). The image is still good to play movies during the day with the curtains closed.The NEO also has two 6w speakers, which is pretty good, but I prefer to use my own sound system. Its HDMI is e-ARC compatible, which allowed to me to connect my WISA wireless speakers with no issues. I was able to get Dolby Digital Plus out of it.In general, the Neo is a well-built, solid 1080p projector. I liked the image quality and the app store app selection; no need to haul the Roku around. The sound was OK and the auto-zoom can be a bit annoying, but the picture quality and portability more than makes up for it. It would be a 5/5 if the device were to save focus and keystone settings. (As an aside, the images were projected to a 150 in screen, which exceeds the published 120 in!)

This is my second Dangbei projector, the installation process is very easy. Autofocus and keystone correction ensured that no matter where I placed the projector in the room, the image was always sharp and clear. The viewing experience is further enhanced by Smart Screen Fit and Obstacle Avoidance, ensuring image quality without any interruptions.The image quality provided by the Dangbei Neo projector is excellent. With 1080P FHD resolution and support for HDR10/HLG, every image and video comes with sharpness and clarity. The projection size of up to 120 inches makes me feel like I have my own private cinema.Portability is another key feature that sets this projector apart. Its compact size and lightweight design make it easy to carry around the house, in the backyard, or even on outdoor camping trips. The projector's versatility is really commendable, as it fits easily in a backpack and doesn't weigh you down on your travels.One of the standout features of the Dangbei Neo projector is its audio quality. Built-in 2×6W speakers, Dolby Audio support and 360° surround sound give you a fully immersive cinematic audio experience. The best part is that the noise level is very low, allowing for a quiet and enjoyable viewing experience that really puts you in the center of the content.For a home entertainment projector in this price range, it's an excellent value for money.

Buen producto me encanto

I tested several projectors intended for moving from bedrooms and living room and kitchen (recipes on the wall!) and the Neo is the best option all around at this price. I recommend you also get the gimbal they sell for the Atom, the Atom is a better projector unquestionably but it's considerably more costly.This gets used at least 8 hours a week, and we're really happy with it. Especially the 12yo because they have the perfect wall above their bed for a perfectly shaped viewable area.It's not going anywhere to dazzle you with dynamic range in sunlit rooms BUT it's viewable for most media during the day, I wouldn't want to watch actively a movie that way but it's not a problem in the kitchen when i toss a guide or recipe on the wall.Great purchase might get one for my other place, at this price it's a steal. They sent me a streaming adapter but I usually plug in an AppleTV to give it AirPlay! amazing.
