Welcome back everyone Nick here from TV Box stop with another 1080p projector review. Today’s model
is from the brand JIMTAB call the JIMTAB M22. This model has Wi-Fi screen mirroring with
no Bluetooth audio feature so JIMTAB also included a solution which is their Bluetooth
audio transmitter and receiver to transmit audio to your Bluetooth speakers and audio receivers.
So to see how these two devices work together. So stay tuned my full review is up next.
The M22 and a native resolution of 1920 x 1080. It has an LED brightness of 5200 lumens.
It has aspect ratios of 4:3 and 16:9.
It has 4D digital vertical and horizontal keystone correction.
It has a maximum viewing distance of 24ft 7.3 m which produces a 300 inches display.
It has dual band 2.4 + 5GHz Wi-Fi screen mirroring.
And it has a built-in 5 Watts 4-ohm speaker. Its contrast ratio and LED lamp life
information is not listed anywhere on their website or in the manual.
Welcome back so in the box with the projector contains the M22 model itself.
You get one infrared remote control. One heavy-duty HDMI cable.
One AC power cable. One auxiliary cable.
A lint free cleaning cloth. And a user manual.
The contents of the Bluetooth transmitter will be revealed later in the video.
The design of this model is pretty standard with the entire body being made of plastic with
the JIMTAB branding an IR sensor and a lens cover for the projector lens to the front.
To its left contains one HDMI port a USB 2.0 port one auxiliary port a headphone jack a microSD card
slot and its exhaust vent. To its right you will find
its AC power socket and its intake vent. To its rear has a rear facing IR sensor
the vent for its internal speaker and a vent for its internal cooling fan.
At the top you have manual controls and the focus adjustment wheel.
And below this projector you have four antiskid rubber feet
screw holes for mounting to a ceiling mount and a screw type kickstand.
So I currently have it set up on a projector stand at 8ft 2.4 m
from my projector screen which produces a very clear 60 inches display with sharp edges.
Its focus adjustment-wheel is very sturdy allowing you to achieve the best focus.
Let’s take a look at its interface. The M22 does not have a central main menu seen in
the most recent models instead it starts with the input source selector where you can select between
its various inputs and its screen mirroring mode. To access the settings area you will have
to press the menu button on the remote or use its manual controls.
In the settings area under picture is where you can adjust its picture mode from a selection of
presets or you can set your own user settings. You can change the color temperature.
Its aspect ratio. Its noise reduction settings.
Its projection direction. And its Zoom settings.
Under sound settings you can change its sound mode
or you can set your own user treble and bass levels.
It has an audio balance and an auto volume setting.
Under options is where you can change the language.
Restore to factory default settings. You have an on-screen menu transparency setting.
Your on-screen duration timeout setting. You can set the blue screen on or off.
The last option is your 4D digital keystone correction option.
The last setting is your sleep time settings.
For playing media directly via its USB and microSD card ports you can successfully slideshow photos
play music and even text documents. For the playback of videos you are limited to 1080p and it
can only decode DTS HD-MA and DTS X audio formats. It cannot decode Dolby Atmos and Dolby surround.
For screen mirroring it comes with support for Android and IOS
devices using both the 2.4Ghz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi
bands.
Pairing your mobile device to this projector is fairly straightforward. You simply open
the screen mirroring option and pressing the OK button you can switch between Android and IOS.
Then using an appropriate screen mirroring app scan for the JIMTAB M22 from the
list of detected devices and pair to it. Please note not all Wi-Fi screen mirroring
apps will work as you have to install one that supports screen mirroring or Allshare
cast depending on the device you are using. Here I’m using a new app called TV cast and it’s
the only one that’s compatible with this projector has my regular Miracast app could not connect.
Well that’s all for its ability to play media via its USB microSD card and Wi-Fi screen mirroring.
These come in handy at parties weddings federal family gatherings office presentations
and other occasions where you have to showcase self-hosted videos photos and office documents.
However projectors are now being used in our homes as part of our home entertainment system
to watch movies and play games. These activities require the
projector to be compatible with official HDMI devices that sometimes have HDCP protection
to protect content against piracy. The M22 is compatible with official
streaming devices such as the Google Chromecast Amazon fire TV stick and even gaming consoles.
Here I connected the Amazon fire TV cube running the official Netflix app and it plays movies
without being blocked or having its audio muted due to HDCP protection.
This means you can connect any official streaming device and it will work without issues.
Here I connected an Android TV box and you can use it to stream movies and TV
shows from your favorite apps such as Kodi and other streaming APKs.
If you have 4K videos stored on external storage you can play them on the TV Box and the projector
will downscale the signal to 1080p. So I’ll now play some 4K videos for
a demonstration and I’ll also tests the audio from its internal speaker.
If you are interested in gaming you can connect your gaming console
via HDMI without latency issues.
As mentioned earlier this projector does not have Bluetooth audio for your Bluetooth speakers
and audio receivers so JIMTAB has a separate Bluetooth device called the JIMTAB M21 NFC
Bluetooth wireless receiver and transmitter. With this device you can transmit the
projector’s audio via the headphone jack to your Bluetooth speaker or surround sound receiver.
It does this automatically by searching for nearby compatible devices and pairing to it.
For more information about this device see the link in the description below this video as it
is also sold separately. Here I connected the M21
transmitter to my 7.1 one audio receiver and it plays audio without any latency.
For fan noise the M22 is a bit on the loud side
generating 51 dB of noise which is above the average of around 46.
In summary for what it’s worth the M22 has great range sturdy focus adjustment and bright lumens.
Wi-Fi screen mirroring for Android and IOS devices works smoothly and its internal
speaker is powerful and delivers great audio. With that said it does not have built-in Bluetooth
audio which require a separate audio transmitter and its fan noise is a bit on the loud side.
So this brings to an end my review. If you are
interested in this projector or its Bluetooth audio transmitter
you can get it on Amazon using the link in the description directly below this video.
