The first time of watched one of your presentations, very well produced as well as the "inspector gadget" style music, thank you I might get one of these lil projectors for my camper van.
Cheers Wayne, glad you enjoyed it! If you don’t mind me asking, how close to the projection would you be sitting whilst it was in your van? Just because the closer you are to it then of course the more the quality diminishes . (Depending on the size of the projection too)! Just don’t want you to be disappointed! Once again thanks for watching and commenting too! 👌👌👌
@@mcphoney, good evening thanks for the response. Good question, I'm doing a refit on it shortly and it would be between 2-4 meters away depending on the final layout. I'm not really after a huge image though, this little thing would just stow away very well. If you can recommend another under £100 that would be great. Thanks
Thank you as my wife got this for me just now for Christmas I do my kids football highlights and always like to broadcast them on our TV so she thought this would be a great way to project their videos
Genius ! I hook up a Digital Alarm Clock via a 4 meter HDMI cable. This YG 300 with its battery can last from 1 - 1.5 hrs. Just mount it on my bed head with Clams which I obtain from Office Works. My Wi Fi Digital Alarm Clock comes with USB ,HDMI , Optical and others ports which I have no idea what they are for but all understand they are all inputs. The best buy I ever did and the best place you can watch Movies, MP4 and even playback MP3 on Big Screen on the ceiling while in bed .. best position which you wont hurt your back or get sore on your neck.
Since it has HDMI, you could. But I don’t recommend as the image is a lot worse than this video shows. I’ve bought one before (new), and it was absolutely terrible. For the same price, I suggest buying a used names brand product, like Epson. I did that, spent the same amount of money, and the image difference is absolutely amazing on the Epson.
Have to agree with @midnightwolf on this one. The projector is ok and great for kids but if you are looking for a permanent tv replacement or something to watch a lot of stuff on the it maybe best to spend a bit more!
Ha ha! I would pay to hear what he said in detail! I’m planning on doing a “up to date” review on this projector as all the scams going around are making people believe it’s some super bright 4K extravaganza!
@@mcphoney literally today like 20min after my comment I went straight to AliExpress and found a ton of much newer models of projectors, most have a slightly higher price point but I'd rather go for those than this cuz the yg300 on AliExpress was only 5p bucks compared to some of the other 150 to 200 price range which I view as a better investment. I just gotta watch some reviews on them then make the decision. One thing tho can I use wireless headphones on the yg300?
I tried to connect the projector with my Mac book air 17 (HDMI-cable) and the projector didn’t find it “no signal”. Does someone know how to fix that? Thanks :)
wow this website called neatprojector is a rip off. its on black friday sale and it says 200 dollars for the original price and 80 dollars on sale. when its actually worth 40 bucks on the site you provided. Glad i did my research first.
AngieSMR yes i stupidly bought it and i finally received it after 2 months of waiting along with tonnes of email sent to them. now i dont know how to use it. I read loads of comments saying that it is not able to be connected to the phone, so i feel a bit down now not knowing what to do.
How can you watch anything when the projector has to be right in front of you because the projector can only project on a straight wall because its not possible to adjust skewing!?
Oh dear, that doesn’t sound good. Did you buy it like that or has that just happened? If it arrived like that the contact where you bought it from asking for a replacement/refund. If it has just randomly happened then it sounds like connection issues inside. I could be wrong of course. Have you tried all of the connections such as the HDMI or memory card input to see if it shows up on all of them?
If your pc has a “HDMI out” then yes indeed, just simply connect it via a HDMI cable. Hope that helps! 👌 I’ve recently done another review for another projector if you fancy a look! It’s a tad more expensive but offers far superior picture quality. You can see it here. czcams.com/video/3p63iXS8Aoc/video.html
@@mcphoney Hey im sorry to bother but there is anther screen turning up while I try to connect my computer to the projector by HDMI, do you have any idea how to fix it? It looks like 2 screens and in the top left corner there is a text "MiroLine", Id deeply appreciate an answer if you know how! THanks!
Thanks Stephen, to be honest the quality of the projection is “slightly” better when viewed with the naked eye as during filming the camera added a slight bit of noise to the footage because it was being filmed in such low lighting! Defo one the kids will love though! Much appreciated for watching and commenting btw! Glad you enjoyed it too! 👌
Thanks Andrew, Im a tad worried however because i think my video has given the wrong impression of this projector. Yes it does project but the quality is ok...not exactly great. If you plan to use it a lot it maybe best to look for something that offers better picture quality. The kids love this projector but I assume that is because they dont care about 1080p etc! Ha ha! Anyhow if you do get one I hope you like it!
Your studio is so aesthetically pleasing Thanks for the quality content and also for your unique style I know that not everyone will share this perspective, but the video’s music accompaniment feels a bit harsh to me Have a very nice day and even week
I received my projector. You can stream Netflix, youtube, hulu, etc... The problem is when I tried to use a bigger speaker for the sound it doesn't work. The main reason I bought it so we can use it outdoor withe the entire family. So that was a bummer.
Gutted! How frustrating! Have you tried the speaker/headphone port on the projector with a pair of headphones/another speaker just to confirm it is faulty then maybe you could notify where you got it from and ask for a replacement?? Sorry to hear about that though! 😔
You do need either an amazon fire stick, chromecast, android box if you wish to watch Netflix. or an MHL adaptor for android/official apple lightning to hdmi adaptor for iOS if you wish to watch Netflix from your phone. Hope that helps! 👌
I doubt it very much as the subtitles would be far too pixelated I’m afraid. Like I said in the review I feel this projector is more for children as they are not too fussed on the quality - they just like the big(ish) screen size. Ha ha! But for anyone else I think they would be left dissatisfied (in terms of picture quality)!
late reply but this was also a question I had when watching reviews and now that I purchased it might help someone else: the subtitles work great! since you’re projecting the video in a larger scale the subtitles are also bigger so they’re perfectly readable :)
Would you be able to charge this projector, like does it have a form of battery life, so that you could use it without it being connected with a power cable?
I will add, These types of mini projectors like the M24 & this YG300 are able to be run off powerbanks through 5v! This makes them PERFECT for camping. Just load up a usb and hang a sheet and you have your own drive in cinema. I'd recommend getting a bluetooth speaker and running it through the headphone jack for better sound. Also buy the M24 for about the same price, its at 480 x 320 resolution, basically double for abit better picture quality.
I bought this for the kids bedroom. It is not that great. We watched couple of movies on it. I connected the fire stick through HDMI. Fire stick has an option to connect to Bluetooth speakers so I connected mine to the soundbar. The projector screen that I bought was no good. In fact, this worked OK on a white wall in our house. The room needs to be very dark for the picture to appear clear on your screen. Spend few more quid and get a decent one if you are looking to get a clear image!
I wish I was! Nope it just my honest opinion but defo think my video has given the wrong impression of this projector. Yes it does project and for films its ok. The kids love it but I think if you want to sit back and watch something with a decent picture quality then it maybe worth splashing out a bit more cash!
Unfortunately It would appear so. Heard lots of random stories about this projector. One viewer even commented that theirs had no option for a USB input!
Mia Landgren You would need some sort of chromecast or amazon fire stick device plus a power supply to plug it into. The chromecast or stick would go into the HDMI connector on the projector. 👌 However please note some paid per view apps/streaming services won’t allow them to be connected to a projector. For example BT Sport doesn’t allow it unless you have a prescription on your TV. (I only have it on my phone so it doesn’t work. And if you have an IOS device (Apple) then you can’t connect Netflix to a projector either. Netflix does work on an android phone, but not Apple.
How do you think it would work for projecting a scary Halloween video on to a darkened rooms ceiling??? If you move the device back further, will it project a larger image -although losing quality but that's ok I'm not fussed about that. Interested to know what you think about this idea!
It would work but it wouldn’t be the best. You would have to have a completely blacked out room and the maximum screen size this projector can produce is 60 inches and even then everything is not in sharp detail and not exactly bright. This is more of a kids projector I would say. Sorry about that!
Defo wouldn’t recommend this projector for a home cinema. It’s more for young children who aren’t fussed on picture quality. It supports 1080p but can only produce 240p!
Thinkinh of getting this as im gonna be living in a van and have limited power. I cant use items more 250 watts for long or itll drain my battery so this alternative looks promising
Just got this and when I connect anything to it it just says no signal. I tried HDMI, AV and USB, all the same thing. Does anyone have any idea what the problem is and how I could fix it?
Have you managed to solve it? From what I remember it was literally plug in your device via hdmi/usb etc and then select the appropriate source via the projector on screen menu...
Great video and the best so far on this projector...Question: If I only want to project some photos on a wall from a flashdrive does this have to be connected to a computer or can it just be plugged into the wall outlet?...you have a very nice voice and accent.
Hi Dennis, thanks for watching and commenting! 👌 When it comes to pictures, in my review I just used jpg files on a memory stick plugged directly into the projector itself. However if you are looking to show off some pictures in glorious detail then I wouldn’t recommend this device. Buy If you are just planning on having a few random family/fun pictures in the far background of a party then that would be fine. Basically pictures can be seen but are a bit pixelated. Hope that makes sense!
So to confirm cause I just got mine from highpeak.... I didn't get what this guy got in the video at all. Also they told me it had Bluetooth capabilities which it doesn't. They also sell it for 80 which is what I paid and the thing is useless tbh. Rather go spend the additional money and get a better projector. Learn from my curiosity. I'm requesting a refund and return as well..
Do you think this would be suitable to project onto a canvas to roughly trace outlines of a photograph or would it be too blurry? Trying to find a cheap projector that will do the job for painting guides.. Cheers
liam gardner I think it could be too blurry/pixelated tbh. You would get a rough outline I suppose but do think it may be difficult to trace. How about the Blitzwolf I reviewed? That’s quite cheap but far superior to this model. If you wish I’ll set it up and see how it would do for tracing and let you know the results? Let me know! 👌
Yes, I would really like to see how you connect it to a smart phone because that is why I bought mine, and the basis upon which it was sold to me. The instructions are not written in clear english.
So to connect your smart phone you will need an MHL adaptor, basically a usb to hdmi. If you have an iphone however you will need an official Apple product "lightning cable to hdmi" otherwise you run the risk of it not working. However for android phones you should be ok with any brand. Hope that helps!
Chromecast works, bare in mind though the aspect ratio of this is only 4:3 not 16:9. Great for old consoles like SNES, but movies will give you a black boarder in widescreen.
Does the sound on this work well? And I know this video was made a while ago but does it still work? On a scale of 1-10 what would you rate it for someone who just wants to buy it to watch movies every now and then?
How do you use the built in battery for the projector?????? Do you HAVE to have it charged for the three hours and then be able to use the on and off switch or what??
@@Mytoria I have this issue too I believe. Theres some other screen popping up. You bought a new HDMI-cable than the one that was supposedly in the package when ordering it? Or what do you mean? I really wanna try to fix this.
@@Drogba777 Yep, I've bought a cheap HDMI-cable and it instantly worked for me. My projector didn't come with a HDMI-cable though, ordered a wrong one along with the projector so buying a proper HDMI-cable fixed it for me.
Yes and no. The only way to adjust the screen size is by moving the projector itself Im afraid. (ie closer or further away from the wall) Sorry about that!
Me and my family are looking to make a mini home cinema in our garden, would this still work okay outside as long as everything was plugged in right? :)
Hi there, I feel personally this projector would not be sufficient for your plans of a garden hike cinema. This projector works best in complete darkness and if you do plan to have a few people around to watch it with then I’d suggest splashing out a bit more. I reviewed the Artlii Enjoy which is still a budget projector bit a bit more expensive however it is far better and brighter than the YG300! Hope that helps! czcams.com/video/fG40dne_fp0/video.html
I havent tried it myself but I cant see why not. If your laptop/pc has a a HDMI out then you should be able to project the game! Again I havent tried it myself but think it should work fine!
Tbh I wouldn’t recommend this projector anymore, now that I have a bit more experience of them. However at the same time I think they have updated them so they are not as bad. (If that makes senses sense!) As for watching the football it will depend on how you are watching it in your phone. Some streams can’t be broadcast, especially if they are pay per view.
Hello, plz answer I ordered this a week ago not knowing I cannot connected my ipad to it.. :( , is there a way to connect my ipad to it? So I could stream Netflix
You can connect ipad/iphone to it but unfortunately you need an adaptor im afraid. MHL or Lightning to HDMI. You can get cheap ones but as I have found out Apple dont like you using "non apple" products with there devices and they either dont work or if they do then they suddenly stop after a short while. Can you cancel the order or return the projector? Or do you have a google cast/amazon fire stick to connect to it to watch netflix? Sorry to be the bearer of bad news!
MCPHONEY thanks for replying back! I will try it with an adopter and hopefully it works, cause all I got is apple products.. and I can’t cancel it , its been shipped /: and if the adopter doesn’t work, do you know any other mini projector would work?
The thing I am worried about is how good the picture will be once you’re connected up. I think the Apple adaptor (lightning to HDMI) costs more than the projector itself! Obviously it’s up to you but I’d hate for you to spend even more money and be dissatisfied! (This is only a 320x240 resolution projector. A HD TV for example is 1920x1080 resolution) So if you plan to use it a lot it may be worth saving up for a better projector? A did a review for another budget projector which maybe better czcams.com/video/fG40dne_fp0/video.html Or this one: czcams.com/video/RUZxo1LW-TI/video.html But at the same time you would still have to buy an adaptor to hook up your iPad. So instead of hooking up an iPad it may work out cheaper to buy an amazon fire stick or google chromecast to watch Netflix. Sorry to get so complicated!
MCPHONEY thank you so much for all the information! It helped me out! First I will try with the adaptor and if it wont work, ill just sell it and get one of the ones u recommended! 😊
What would you show on this mini Projector??? 🎬🕹📺
The office lmao or newsies

I think there are a lot of scammy knock offs floating around of it
Unfortunately It would appear so.
Heard lots of random stories about this projector.
One viewer even commented that theirs had no option for a USB input!
Do you need to buy a chrome cast to stream Disney + from your phone? If so which would you recommend? Where would you connect it?
Mia Landgren You would need some sort of chromecast or amazon fire stick device plus a power supply to plug it into. The chromecast or stick would go into the HDMI connector on the projector. 👌 However please note some paid per view apps/streaming services won’t allow them to be connected to a projector. For example BT Sport doesn’t allow it unless you have a prescription on your TV. (I only have it on my phone so it doesn’t work. And if you have an IOS device (Apple) then you can’t connect Netflix to a projector either. Netflix does work on an android phone, but not Apple.
how to watch Netflix from tablet/phone on that? any option to connect external speakers?
Buy a Bluetooth speaker
I’m having trouble getting the audio to work. Bluetooth speaker isn’t connecting😤
How do you think it would work for projecting a scary Halloween video on to a darkened rooms ceiling??? If you move the device back further, will it project a larger image -although losing quality but that's ok I'm not fussed about that. Interested to know what you think about this idea!
Quality is bad bad, it says current video playing at 1080p @60hz but doesnt look like
It would work but it wouldn’t be the best. You would have to have a completely blacked out room and the maximum screen size this projector can produce is 60 inches and even then everything is not in sharp detail and not exactly bright. This is more of a kids projector I would say. Sorry about that!
Defo wouldn’t recommend this projector for a home cinema. It’s more for young children who aren’t fussed on picture quality. It supports 1080p but can only produce 240p!
@@mcphoney i set youtube quality to 1080p now picture quality is fine,text is readable but not that great😂😂😂
That’s great. 👌 Is it a newer/upgraded YG300 model? I did see some recently!
Defeats the purpose it's like watching on TV
yeap 10 times cheaper
I bought it because I can’t afford a tv.. but I found out after I got it that it doesn’t connect to your phone
@@laylareyes7733 goodness gracious
Thinkinh of getting this as im gonna be living in a van and have limited power. I cant use items more 250 watts for long or itll drain my battery so this alternative looks promising
I take mine camping.
Can you stream anything from your phone / mirroring with wifi?
The only video of this projector in english. Thank you
No problem! 👌
Just got this and when I connect anything to it it just says no signal. I tried HDMI, AV and USB, all the same thing. Does anyone have any idea what the problem is and how I could fix it?
Have you managed to solve it? From what I remember it was literally plug in your device via hdmi/usb etc and then select the appropriate source via the projector on screen menu...
So if I buy this projecter can I watch CZcams on it and Netflix orrr...
I’m guessing yes, since you can plug it up to your phone & watch anything
I'm so confused. How do I get a movie to play?? How do i connect it to my phone or computer??
USB
5Nights AtEddys lies
You can use the hdmi output and connect an hdmi-to-phone adapter.
Did you get it to play a movie?
Great video and the best so far on this projector...Question: If I only want to project some photos on a wall from a flashdrive does this have to be connected to a computer or can it just be plugged into the wall outlet?...you have a very nice voice and accent.
Hi Dennis, thanks for watching and commenting! 👌 When it comes to pictures, in my review I just used jpg files on a memory stick plugged directly into the projector itself.
However if you are looking to show off some pictures in glorious detail then I wouldn’t recommend this device. Buy If you are just planning on having a few random family/fun pictures in the far background of a party then that would be fine. Basically pictures can be seen but are a bit pixelated. Hope that makes sense!
@@mcphoney Hello, yes I understand what you say here...for my purposes I think this projector would work very well...Thank you so much for the reply!
Does this work with Netflix connected to an iPhone?
Kevin Jebone Ascabano yeah but you have to buy a lighting hdmi cable separately (fairly cheap)
Arianna Rahman hi. Can you show me how lighting hdmi cable looks like please thanks!
@@leslierazonable7349 it,s basically your charging cable but with hdmi instead of usb connector.
So to confirm cause I just got mine from highpeak.... I didn't get what this guy got in the video at all. Also they told me it had Bluetooth capabilities which it doesn't. They also sell it for 80 which is what I paid and the thing is useless tbh. Rather go spend the additional money and get a better projector. Learn from my curiosity. I'm requesting a refund and return as well..
Plugged a hdmi cable into it from my laptop doesn't do anything, no idea why. White light blinks for a couple seconds when turned on then nothing
Does it have to be perpendicular to the wall? Or it can be adjusted and project diagonally?
Obviously the image will be distorded. And don't expect cheap things like this to take care of that for you
Do you think this would be suitable to project onto a canvas to roughly trace outlines of a photograph or would it be too blurry? Trying to find a cheap projector that will do the job for painting guides.. Cheers
liam gardner I think it could be too blurry/pixelated tbh. You would get a rough outline I suppose but do think it may be difficult to trace. How about the Blitzwolf I reviewed? That’s quite cheap but far superior to this model. If you wish I’ll set it up and see how it would do for tracing and let you know the results? Let me know! 👌
Can you put it close to the canvas without losing focus?
Yes, I would really like to see how you connect it to a smart phone because that is why I bought mine, and the basis upon which it was sold to me. The instructions are not written in clear english.
So to connect your smart phone you will need an MHL adaptor, basically a usb to hdmi. If you have an iphone however you will need an official Apple product "lightning cable to hdmi" otherwise you run the risk of it not working. However for android phones you should be ok with any brand. Hope that helps!
@@mcphoney so for an iPhone would I just additionally need a lightning to HDMI adapter? Or do I need to buy an HDMI cable too? Thanks!
Can u connect ur phone to it to watch YT
You cant connect directly, you will need to use a chromecast or other mirroring device connected to the hdmi port on the projector.
Turbo Mac I’m a 12 yr old, I don’t get that
Ah ok, just search 'chromecast to projector' on CZcams and watch a video. Good luck
Turbo Mac Thx
Thanks Turbo Mac! Much appreciated for the help in responding to questions! Trying to reply to them all is getting difficult!
Can we use this to use ppt for teaching
You think I would be able to see the score in sports games?
Can it be used for Apple tv/chromecast? To stream Netflix etc? :)
Chromecast works, bare in mind though the aspect ratio of this is only 4:3 not 16:9. Great for old consoles like SNES, but movies will give you a black boarder in widescreen.
Does the sound on this work well? And I know this video was made a while ago but does it still work? On a scale of 1-10 what would you rate it for someone who just wants to buy it to watch movies every now and then?
I’m sure you can connect a speaker to it to use that or smth like that
Hdmi sounds good but usb/sd card is bad
Can you connect your headphones to it? Or with a USB connect to your phone?
How do you use the built in battery for the projector?????? Do you HAVE to have it charged for the three hours and then be able to use the on and off switch or what??
Hi Eric, to my knowledge this projector doesn’t have a built in battery I’m afraid. It has to be plugged in to a main power source in order to work.
It's for $20 on wish, definitely get it there
Ah yes, Wish
Cant beat wish.com!
Don't buy! It claims to be 600 Lumens but my 15 Lumen 3M mpro 150 pocket projector is just as bright!
False advertising!
How to connect the HTMI from the computer to the projector
Thank you very much for this. I was looking at this on tik tok a lot and was thinking of getting one! 🙏
How to connect to my laptop? everytime I try this i'll get a blue screen with some sort of qr-code?
Nvm, bought a proper hdmi cable and worked just fine.
How much did u buy for & where? The mini projector
@@Mytoria I have this issue too I believe. Theres some other screen popping up. You bought a new HDMI-cable than the one that was supposedly in the package when ordering it? Or what do you mean? I really wanna try to fix this.
@@Drogba777 Yep, I've bought a cheap HDMI-cable and it instantly worked for me. My projector didn't come with a HDMI-cable though, ordered a wrong one along with the projector so buying a proper HDMI-cable fixed it for me.
@@Mytoria Is that a HDMI- HDMI cable? Thanks for the reply! I got a HDMI - USB one with the package but it didnt work.
Awesome, i always wanted to get a portable projector.. thanks for the review! :)
go here buy one cheaper www.shopgoodwill.com/Item/74057342#shipping-tab
mine keeps saying no signal. how do i get back to the main screen
It can even be powered by a power bank or laptop just tried it.
Do you know of any projectors that would work well for tracing images? So projecting onto a small area like 11x14?
Hiii please did you try and it worked for a small surface?
Just bought it, along with miracast to play wirelessly, so far i enjoy using it. Question is.. how many hour should I use it per day continuously?
You can use it as long as you want and any day?
Can we able to see subtitles for movies and series
Unfortunately I found subtitles were too pixelated to read. However there are better/updated models of this projector now so it maybe easier. 👍
How to go to picture settings?
Are you able to adjust the screen size ? That’s one of the things I wanted to know
Yes and no. The only way to adjust the screen size is by moving the projector itself Im afraid. (ie closer or further away from the wall) Sorry about that!
MCPHONEY ah well that’s kinda of a down side but I can work with it. Thank you for the information :)
It’s common sense really
hi what is the best adjustment for bright, contrast and sharpness to make video clear??
@JitterzZ 88 and warranty card
can i use this as an extended desktop (like a second monitor)?
Is it compatible with a chromecast? Anyone know? Or anyone knows which ones are the best ones for chromecast? 😊
Me and my family are looking to make a mini home cinema in our garden, would this still work okay outside as long as everything was plugged in right? :)
Hi there, I feel personally this projector would not be sufficient for your plans of a garden hike cinema.
This projector works best in complete darkness and if you do plan to have a few people around to watch it with then I’d suggest splashing out a bit more. I reviewed the Artlii Enjoy which is still a budget projector bit a bit more expensive however it is far better and brighter than the YG300! Hope that helps!
czcams.com/video/fG40dne_fp0/video.html
Noooo... Don't buy it. Bullshit product
I got it it doesn’t work when I use my laptop with Netflix DO NOT BUY
2020 here its nice for home quaratine days
How do you connect the audio up
0:41
Can i use this projector to play kahoot?
I havent tried it myself but I cant see why not. If your laptop/pc has a a HDMI out then you should be able to project the game! Again I havent tried it myself but think it should work fine!
@@mcphoney if i use my android phone can or not? Thanks for the reply, i really appreciate it!
If I had something live like a football match could I use it for that even though its live on my phone
Tbh I wouldn’t recommend this projector anymore, now that I have a bit more experience of them.
However at the same time I think they have updated them so they are not as bad. (If that makes senses sense!)
As for watching the football it will depend on how you are watching it in your phone. Some streams can’t be broadcast, especially if they are pay per view.
On my led projector it keep saying no signal please keep me what am I doing wrong
Hello, plz answer
I ordered this a week ago not knowing I cannot connected my ipad to it.. :( , is there a way to connect my ipad to it? So I could stream Netflix
You can connect ipad/iphone to it but unfortunately you need an adaptor im afraid. MHL or Lightning to HDMI. You can get cheap ones but as I have found out Apple dont like you using "non apple" products with there devices and they either dont work or if they do then they suddenly stop after a short while. Can you cancel the order or return the projector? Or do you have a google cast/amazon fire stick to connect to it to watch netflix? Sorry to be the bearer of bad news!
MCPHONEY thanks for replying back! I will try it with an adopter and hopefully it works, cause all I got is apple products.. and I can’t cancel it , its been shipped /: and if the adopter doesn’t work, do you know any other
mini projector would work?
MCPHONEY and no I dont got google cast or amazon fire
The thing I am worried about is how good the picture will be once you’re connected up. I think the Apple adaptor (lightning to HDMI) costs more than the projector itself! Obviously it’s up to you but I’d hate for you to spend even more money and be dissatisfied! (This is only a 320x240 resolution projector. A HD TV for example is 1920x1080 resolution)
So if you plan to use it a lot it may be worth saving up for a better projector?
A did a review for another budget projector which maybe better
czcams.com/video/fG40dne_fp0/video.html
Or this one:
czcams.com/video/RUZxo1LW-TI/video.html
But at the same time you would still have to buy an adaptor to hook up your iPad.
So instead of hooking up an iPad it may work out cheaper to buy an amazon fire stick or google chromecast to watch Netflix.
Sorry to get so complicated!
MCPHONEY thank you so much for all the information! It helped me out! First I will try with the adaptor and if it wont work, ill just sell it and get one of the ones u recommended! 😊
