Highlights

A real 1080p panel, not an upscaled one

Sharpness is what this buys you. It needs a dark room to show it.

Native 1920 x 1080

The panel itself is 1080p, not a 720p panel accepting a 1080p signal.

Telescopic stand

Raises and tilts the lens to screen height, so no propping it on books.

32GB storage

Four times what the cheaper units carry, so apps and files actually fit.

Dual-band Wi-Fi

Connects on 5GHz as well as 2.4GHz, which matters for streaming.

Product description

About this product

Portable Projector – in stock at 361 Degrees Adventure in Tanzania.

A native 1080p panel, which is what separates this from the cheap ones.

Almost every projector at this size advertises 1080p. Most of them mean they will accept a 1080p signal and then squeeze it onto a 720p panel. This one has the 1920 x 1080 panel, and that is what you are paying for.

There is a consequence worth understanding, because it looks like a flaw on a spec sheet. A 1080p panel has smaller pixels than a 720p panel of the same size, so it blocks more of the light passing through it. Run the same LED behind both and the 1080p unit reads dimmer. That is why this projector is rated 240 ANSI while cheaper 720p units claim more. You are trading a little brightness for a genuinely sharper picture.

It runs Android with 32GB of storage, connects over dual-band Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and sits on a telescopic pole that raises the lens to the height of the screen instead of leaving you propping it on books.

Be realistic about the light. At 240 ANSI this needs a dark room. Curtains closed, lights off, and a screen between 60 and 80 inches. It is a projector for evenings and dark rooms, not for a bright lounge in the afternoon.

Who It Suits

Streaming: read this first. Like nearly all Android projectors in this class, this one carries Widevine L3 rather than L1, which means Netflix and Prime Video will play but only at standard definition, whatever your subscription. YouTube is fine. If Netflix at full quality matters to you, plug a streaming stick into the HDMI port and use that instead. We can supply one.

Buying a Portable Projector in Tanzania

361 Degrees Adventure keeps the portable projector at our showroom in Upanga, Dar es Salaam, with delivery countrywide across Tanzania. Come and handle it before you buy, or order online and collect.

Every portable projector is checked in store before it leaves us, and our staff use the same kit in the field, so you get an honest answer on fit and sizing rather than a sales pitch.

Not sure which portable projector suits you? Call or message the showroom and we will talk you through the options that are actually in stock in Dar es Salaam.

Spare parts and replacements for the portable projector are easier to get here than on an overseas order, which matters once the gear is in use.

Questions

Good to know

Is the 1080p real, or upscaled?

Real, according to the supplier specification: the LCD panel itself is 1920 x 1080. The reason we believe it is that the same factory sells a 720p sibling at about 40 per cent less, and there is no reason to price an honestly-labelled cheaper model alongside a dishonestly-labelled dearer one. We have not measured a unit ourselves, so we state it as the supplier states it.

Why is it dimmer than cheaper projectors?

Because of the 1080p panel, and it is the point rather than a fault. A 1080p panel has smaller pixels than a 720p panel the same size, so more of the LED light is blocked on its way through. Put the same light engine behind both and the sharper one reads dimmer. Cheaper 720p units quote higher brightness for exactly this reason.

Will it work with the lights on?

No, and neither will any projector in this class. At 240 ANSI you need a properly dark room: curtains drawn, lights off. In daylight the image washes out. For comparison, a projector bright enough for a lit room starts around 2000 ANSI and costs several times this.

How big a picture should I actually use?

Sixty to eighty inches. It will throw larger, and the optics will happily fill a wall, but brightness is spread across the whole image, so a 120 inch picture at this output looks dim and grey. A smaller, brighter image looks far better than a big dim one.

Does Netflix work properly?

It plays, but only in standard definition. These Android projectors carry Widevine L3 certification rather than L1, and Netflix and Prime Video restrict non-L1 devices to SD regardless of your subscription. YouTube is unaffected. The fix is a streaming stick on the HDMI input, which costs a fraction of the projector and gives you full quality.

How does it compare to the HD Mini Pro we also sell?

This one has the native 1080p panel and 32GB of storage; the HD Mini Pro is a native 720p machine with 8GB. If you care about text being sharp, or you sit close, this is the one. If you mostly watch video from a distance and want to spend less, the HD Mini Pro does that job well.

Can I use it outdoors?

Yes, after dark, and it is one of the better uses for it. A garden or rooftop at night is genuinely dark, which is exactly what this projector wants. Bring a power source and something pale to project onto.

How do I look after it?

Keep the intake and exhaust vents clear, since these units are cooled by a small fan and heat is what ends an LED early. Do not run it in a closed cabinet. Wipe the lens with a proper lens cloth, never a shirt, and let it finish its cool-down cycle before unplugging it.
