DBPOWER T22 HD Video Projector 2400 Lumens Supports 1080p with HDMI AV Cable for Multimedia Home Cinema, TVs, Laptops, Games, SD cards, iPads and iPhone and Android smartphones-White

In this review I'll be looking at the T22 HD Video Projector.This is the brighter 2400 lumens, 840 x 480 pixel projector.(Maximum input resolution it can receive is 1920 x 1080)I've been using it solidly for a week now, and I've had a great experience so far with it.It's easy to use, with on-screen settings that are self-descriptive and hardware that doesn't have any complex controls.In the box I received (Photo A):1: The projector.2: Remote control. (Needs two AAA batteries, not included)3: Audio/composite video cable.4: HDMI cable.5: Little screw and button that acts as the projector stand.To turn the projector on, and access the on screen options - the silver buttons located on the top of the projector, or the same controls that are located on the remote control. (Photo B, A, and E)The projector has the power adapter built in, which means only a small "kettle" power cable is needed - not a particular wall-wart adapter. A relief to anyone who's found themselves losing track of all their power adapters, like I do!You can see the little two pin socket in Photo D.You'll find the projector comes on instantly when you press the power button. The light source is LED - which means there is no warm-up time for the projector to reach it's operating brightness. It comes on instantly and is ready to use.For video/image/audio, SD cards, VGA, USB and HDMI inputs are supported.All of the inputs are down one side of the projector, while the other side only has some air vents. (Photo C and D)To test video I stored some videos and text on a new USB 3 memory stick. Unfortunately I discovered it wasn't recognised.I tried using an older USB 2 memory stick - which worked without problems. The USB icon on the main menu screen turned from grey to green, meaning the device was detected, and compatible files were found.Navigating through the folders to the files I wanted was easy - using the arrow buttons, enter, and back.Clicking on any folder would open it, and clicking on any playable file would ten play it. Be it text, image, or video.Pressing the keys during playback opens a small navigation menu for fast forward, rewind, exit, and skip.There are 3 items that adjust the image display:1: A small screw at the front of the projector which changes the angle it sits on a surface, enabling the picture to be displayed higher on a wall or projector screen. (Photo D, at the front of the projector)2: A Keystone adjustment wheel (Photo E, thinner wheel). This wheel adjusts the image trapezium distortion caused by projecting up on to a wall.3: A focus wheel - the fatter wheel shown in Photo E. With this wheel, the image can be made sharp by accurately focusing the display. About 5 foot is the minimum distance, and I was unable to check the maximum as it focused across an entire room.The projector has sound - though bass is a little light due to the small size of the projector. IF you're after a cinematic experience, it's best to use your large music speakers.This is a "consumer" projector - it's best used in the dark as it lacks the high intensity light sources the very expensive office projectors have. You can see what I mean with the screenshot of the projector in a boardroom, with the blinds shut.The light leaking into the room washes out the image a lot. Photo F.Also - due to the resolution of 840 x 480 - PC displays are of limited use. The desktop will look blocky, with unreadable shortcut text.You CAN use it for Powerpoint slides, if the stick to large titles, and short large bullet points. Anything in a "normal" font used on a monitor won't be readable due to the text been scrunched down to a few pixels.That sums up the two biggest problems you'd have with a budget projector - screen resolution (the image details), and the brightness.BUT! If you work to the projectors strengths - use a dark room, put the projector on one side of the room, and the screen at the other, and wire the audio up to HiFi speakers, you get a result just like Photo G, H, I J and K. Magnificent!I've used a cartoon to demonstrate the display - it gives you a good idea of the resolution when the projector is showing high contrast line art. You could say these are the "hardest case" demonstration images.Photo G: This shows the projector's resultant image when it is located in the middle of a fully dark room. It's bright, it's sharp. Excellent!Photo H: The E-Book text reader works well at 840 x 480 given the font it uses. There's plenty to read before needing to cycle to the next page of text.Photo I and J : These two images show how well the projector performs when it's located at the other side of the room.The image is MASSIVE! Completely covering the wall.I've included the bookcase, couch and door in the image so you can see just how large that image is.Image K : A close up showing the pixels are sharp and in focus.As a budget home projector - this device is great.It's well made, the focus ring and keystone adjustment feel firm, the buttons click without stuttering. The picture is bright and clear. The in-built audio is good on the move, and the file formats supported are wide.I'm happy using this myself, and it would make a great present for someone this Christmas.

So first, the negative.It's advertised as a phone projector but you have to buy the cables yourself... It probably tells you that somewhere though. So that information if for you lazy skim readers like me who scan the specs and then check the reviews. You will need to get yourself an HDMI to whatever usb your phone takes.I'm having trouble keeping the screen perfectly parallel. The bottom width is pretty much always short, but again I'm fairly sure that's something I'm doing.The brightness and picture quality is great. The more I use it the more things I realise I needed it for.I bought this because I draw a lot of fan art and I wanted to transfer some onto a chest of drawers for my son. (I'm not so good at painting large). It's worked out perfect. I can even use it during the day as long as it's not in direct sunlight. I was worried about the brightness and very much expected it to be very poor quality so was pleasantly surprised when I turned it on

Great projector for the price, came well packaged and quickly. Easy to set up, picture quality really good, fan a bit loud but hardly hear it when using soundboard for audio,would definitely recomend

I am very happy with the projector. The image and sound are great. Easy to use. The only problem is that the power lead is quite short and I need an extension lead. It would be handy if it came with a carry case too.

the fan is very loud and terrible, gave me a headache! Netflix doesn’t work when connected to my phone and it is very blurry.

This is a good projector..Firstly this are High resolution projector with 2400 lumen, these number of lumen means it will gives us the brighter pictures and the easier it will be to see the image in daylight without the curtains drawn, but a brighter projected image typically comes at the cost of poor black level response and a greyish picture. I'm display the projector at day time and it didn't caused me any problem to watch the movie with children.This projector may a bit high range of price for me but until It come and test for quality I would say this is worth of every penny.This versatile portable projector can be connected to smart devices both Android and Apple, to PCs laptop, Mac, DVDs, etc..It comes with enhanced LED technology adding more brightness to the projection without actually harming the eyes, because the light is soft and not dazzling.the image quality is absolutely fantastic, full HD crystal clear images with adjustable projection size of 30 to 176 inches it feels like you're at the cinema and it works so quietly too. Its absolutely perfect for family movie nights.

I upgraded from a DBPower projector bought 8 years ago. Don't be fooled by the small product as it is excellent and the picture quality is just what we needed. I use my Amazon FireStick with it. I set it all up in less than 4 minutes.

Bought this to run training sessions for Girlguiding leaders - very light and compact for transporting around.Managed to set up without having to resort to the reading the instruction book, so easy and intuative to use.
