- Okay, we've got this $90 Bluetooth projector
on a Canadian Tire.
And, this is a pretty amazing thing,
$90 for an HD based home theater projection system
that is larger than your LCD in your living room
that can cost in the range for 45 inch for 500 bucks.
This has Bluetooth technology.
Now, it's very important to understand
just right off the hop, Bluetooth is only for audio.
It does not transmit video from your device.
You'll have to pair the audio with this device
to hear good audio.
Cause the audio coming out of this speaker,
I've seen not too great.
But I wanna take this review a little bit further
and see if I can connect it to a tablet
and watch it also connect to a laptop.
Cause that's really what you're gonna wanna do.
You're gonna wanna stream out
from your computer device to this.
Because that's what it's toting essentially.
It says and it reads, I mean, it doesn't say anything.
It's great for device such as cable box gaming console,
Blue Ray players, streaming devices like mobile phones,
tablets, Roku, Apple TV, Chromecast, interesting stuff.
But, let's plug it in and see what we can actually attach.
And then I'll show you what you're up against.
So, I've hooked it up and I gotta say guys,
this little device is cute.
Look at this.
You can put this thing in your backpack
and go on over to the girlfriends,
our family members, our friends and you could set it up.
But, there's some buts.
Number one, like I said before, the device's audio,
like any projector, like this is realistic understanding,
they don't have good audio.
Okay.
So you're gonna have to sync it with a Bluetooth device.
I've got a Bose, so it can really rocket it.
I believe that that's what it'll do.
It'll sync up just fine.
But I'm more interested in picture quality
to see what the experience is.
So I've plugged it into my MacBook Pro,
just to see what's going on.
And I'll show you what's going on.
What's going on is this, okay?
Now the device has a little ring on it
that you can adjust it, you know,
if you have an unlevel surface and stuff to a vertical
and bottom out or top towards you or bottom towards you,
and you can kind of change it.
I've also taken the time to change some of the things
to vivid mode.
You can put it on other modes, picture modes,
but the normal standard isn't that bright.
I've tried some other reductions and stuff like that.
Reduce display and all the rest of the fun stuff.
But it does not do the thing justice.
So, I would recommend that you keep it on that
and go from there to put it into something more Chris,
because my review essentially is this is not doing well.
I've got "Mowgli."
Moving on, by the way, you wanna watch another video of mine
showing how animals love "Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle"
on Netflix and my talk is fascinated
with all the animal sounds.
Check it out.
But the thing is that this picture quality is sub par.
Like it's dim.
Like it might be good for a Netflix and chill,
hashtag Netflix and chill night,
but with your, you know, with your partner.
But honestly you'll have to have all the lights out,
like dark.
If you plan on trying to use this in the daytime,
forget about it.
I think projectors in the, you know,
in essence is like this.
And I think this is like 2000 lumens,
which is supposedly pretty good.
But I'm not too impressed with the contrast ratio
and the brightness of making it pop.
For 90 bucks though, I mean, it's pretty good.
And it streams out from the laptop.
Honestly, it's playing it.
But, it's playing the audio through from the computer.
So, you're gonna want to hook it up to a Bluetooth
and you can pair it supposedly with that.
And that's the Bluetooth amazing,
it's cause the sound quality will suck from this.
And sometimes you remember laptops, ain't that great.
So you can really have a great experience.
You can really make something of this,
say it's in your basement of a home.
But the light,
you're gonna have to be just concerned about that.
It's really not the amazing thing.
You wanna go better, higher end,
if you're gonna go projector and whatnot.
Now, there's two HDMI in.
There's also crazy inputs on this like old school VGA stuff
and putting it into your computer and then bringing it in.
But the deal with this device is truly,
you're gonna need some peripherals.
So here's the amazing thing.
Let's see if a $30, you know,
this is the new iPhone and iPads stuff.
Let's unplug the device from the computer.
Let's plug it into like a new fancy iPad
and see if you could run Netflix from something like that.
And I've got Netflix hooked up here.
And I'll just confirm with you whether or not
this is gonna work.
So let's put "Mowgli" on which you're gonna wanna check,
you know, the other video out.
(indistinct) M-O, "Mowgli" and let's play it.
But you have to remember, let's see, are you ready?
Now, this is all peripherals.
Okay.
HDMI cable costs you money,
that peripheral cost you money,
this device does not come with it.
So you gotta hit the menu,
which is an arrow and down, an arrow.
And it's a little button on the top here
to switch the source.
So let's switch the source to HDMI two and I'll go, okay.
And drum roll please, now playing on your TV.
So it's seeing it.
So, now here's the moment of truth.
If you have all the peripherals,
all these little connectors and you gotta buy extra.
So, it's playing through the iPad
and it's connecting to HDMI two.
And there it is on the screen in my living room.
But, there's no audio.
And it looks like,
I'm going to have to pair a Bluetooth speaker
to have the audio play.
So, I found that, you know,
you can connect the Apple product peripheral,
which is 30 bucks to an HDMI cable
that's gonna cost you money also,
cause it doesn't come in this package.
And you can connect it.
You can connect it to your phone.
You can connect to your iPad
and get some video running out.
So, this would be great for your kids in the tent,
(indistinct) in their bedroom.
But the audio, I've tried to pair it multiple times,
turning this on and turn off.
This Bose, so this is good stuff.
RCA is great too, but it's not happening.
Now, there is a audio video and audio out cable
that you could then link up.
You're probably gonna have to do that
to get this Bluetooth thing working correctly.
It's not easy because there's so many Bluetooth devices.
I had to turn off Bluetooth on my laptop,
Bluetooth on this device
cause it kept seeing all these Bluetooth devices.
So you're gonna have a pain in the butt.
Okay.
It's gonna get you kind of frustrated.
So you're gonna have to deal with that holiday season.
Watch out, you know, it could mess with you.
But this device is not sending any audio.
I don't hear the audio coming through the HDMI
to this device to even pump out the speaker
in this little mini guy here, which is nice.
Like, honestly, you buy this for your kids in the bedroom.
I'd say this is like for your kids.
Great stuff.
Wouldn't rely on it for business presentations
or anything like that but I mean, realistically, I get it.
You know, 90 bucks, you don't get any cables.
You don't get nothing.
You got to go spend another, you know,
40 bucks on other things for your kids.
And then another audio video cable
to make it simple for the...
Cause everyone's gonna get frustrated, right?
Like, they're not technologically adapt.
So, understand that this, you need to get the HDMI cable.
The light's gonna have to be low.
You're gonna have to cap the curtain shut.
It's good for the kids.
Like straight up 90 bucks,
but like, it's not gonna be your home entertainment system.
Like it's toting in this picture.
There's a lot better stuff on the market that you can get
and you know, brighter.
You want brightness value, Lux value and contrast ratio.
Be very concerned about that.
Test these devices.
But yeah, it would be great.
It'll really blow your kid's mind, great stuff.
Not for me.
I'll be going back to the store
and we'll be going from there.
I hope he learned something in this,
and what you're up against with this device.
And I'll see you in another video.
