4K Projector, GooDee Projector with WiFi and Bluetooth, Mini Projector with Auto Keystone and Remote Focus, Native 1080P Home Theater Movie Projector Compatible with Phone/Laptop/TV Stick/Game/PPT

I bought this projector with just for fun expectation and it actually impressed me.
For an under 150$ projector class this is an excellent bang for buck projector.
You get decent sets of features and functionalities for it’s price range.

If you want to know more, read on.
I’ve had this projector for less than a week, here’s my experience so far:
– I’ve done a luminance measurement, what you’re getting is a “150 ANSI Lumens” LED with LCD panel Projector (to be honest I expect lower number).
The company isn’t lying on the specs, it states 3800 lux and if you measure the lux of the projector in front of the lens it is true 3800 lux.
Problem is, this number just doesn’t translate to proper ANSI lumens until you measure the lux at the true size output.
So do not compare it to a true 3000 ANSI Lumens projector that cost around 4x or more such as Epson VS355 WXGA 3,300 lumens.
– With that in mind, for indoor with ambient daytime lighting effective projection distance no more than 5 feet which display roughly a 49″ screen TV. With this distance, you’ll get around 230 lux on white image.
At 120″ projection size you’ll be getting around 35 Lux white image give or take, which means dark room use only.
Forget about 200″ projection size, I personally don’t think it’s bright enough for that even in completely dark room.
– The projector does have a native resolution of 1280×720 pixels a big plus compared to sub 150$ 800x480pixels projector. The fact that it also support 1920x1080P input is a bonus. You can use the higher resolution input and the projector does a good job in downsampling the image to a smooth 720P image.
You won’t get higher fidelity, but you’re getting a smoother anti-aliased image (you might need to use sharpness settings to compensate a bit).
– When using this projector for a computer screen, set the computer output to match the 1280×720 resolution for 1 to 1 pixel mapping and text will be very sharp and clear.
– The HDMI input is HDCP compliant and works great with Roku, PC and other streaming devices.
– The USB works with USB HardDrive and Sticks (FAT/FAT32/NTFS works, but it won’t recognize exFAT for some reason). The USB port also works for powering up the Roku stick.
– Media capability is decent, some audio codec from movies won’t play, but it does support Subtitle, multi channel audio and popular MP4 H.264 codec.
– It has a range of color balancing and sharpness settings which is very useful in tweaking the color temperature and brightness to avoid color banding and over sharpened image.
– The speaker is better sounding than most 15$ range bluetooth speakers out there, just be aware that it’s a MONO speaker. You’ll need an external speaker for Stereo sound.
– It has an Image output scale option (6 level), however it literally crop the LCD and scale to fit the image. Using this option can be handy if moving the projector closer to the screen is not an option, just remember than every drop of a scale effectively reduce the resolution of the output (less of the 1280×720 LCD is used).
– Lastly, you do get a nice bag (which fit the projector, but barely fit with power cable), HDMI cable, RCA input to 3.5mm splitter and an IR remote.

Stuff I haven’t tried but exist (can’t comment on these):
– I haven’t tried the RCA input.
– The stereo Audio/headphone jack output.
– 110V/220V auto switch electric input (only tested at 110v).
– Tripod mount underneath the projector.

Now the not so good side:
– Temperature of the projector is on the warm side noticeable on the exhaust side and the fan tried hard to cool off the bright hot LED, so the fan noise is noticeable for sure.
– I found a few dirt inside the lens that I can’t access to clean which I think affect the projection image similar to dead pixels (so far I’ve seen 2 spots).
It could be very well a dead pixels too on the LCD, I’m just not to sure about it. Not too big of a deal as it is not completely black, just darker pixels. Might need to claim warranty if more spots appear or things gets worse.
– Keystone adjustment can affect the focus of the image away from the center area. It is much better if you can align the projector to the center of the screen as much as possible to avoid the need to use the keystone.
– The remote in general works fine, but turning on the projector sometimes require two clicks of the remote power button, not sure because there’s delay or the remote needs to wake up before it’s functional.

Hope my experience gave more insights on this Goodee YG420 projector for buyers out there.
Finger cross that this projector last for a while 🙂

After months of searching and and researching I decided that the GooDee was going to be the one and I wasn’t let down. Being able to see the picture during the day was a big deal for me and this definitely met my expectations for the price. The auto keystone is a good Feature but I like that I can also do it manually. All in all I’m extremely satisfied with my purchase.

I waited to review the projector until I had ample time to test it out. For the price, this is a great projector. I’ve been using it as a large screen for Switch multiplayer games, as this was the ONLY way to reasonably fit 8 players onto a single screen. In addition, I’ve been using it to binge watch all the shows I’ve been needing to catch up on and it more than serves the purpose.

Key Points:
It’s not a pico projector, but it is still pretty compact. This is part of a set up that fits into a single backpack and involves the projector, a large bluetooth speaker, Nintendo Switch mobile bundle (case + accessories), 4k Amazon Firestick, power strip, and 6 wireless controllers. I’ve got easy entertainment on the go.

The speaker on it is decent if you’re going to be in a room by yourself. I tend to be picky and want the sound to come from the same direction as the screen, but the built-in speaker will do in a pinch. Nothing to shout about, but also not bad. I ended up using a large bluetooth speaker and a bluetooth transmitter I had laying around to suit my preference.

The screen resolution seems to live up to what’s promised at 720p. I don’t see any pixelation or blurred edges from the picture being used on larger screens. I’ve used it so far to project on a mobile white board, and both 100″ and 120″ projection screens. The rooms need not be completely dark for it to be useful, but it does display best at night. I’ve been using it during the daytime with the curtains closed to play games and it works well enough that others want to join in. I do highly recommend buying even an inexpensive projection screen since they diffuse the light very well and you get a crisp picture without the bulb light being reflected back into your eyes. I bought a 120″ foldable screen on Amazon for $16.99 on sale. You will definitely see any textures if you opt to just use a wall.

I do have one reservation, which I believe is enough to warrant -1 star. The projector has basic, manual adjustment for vertical keystone correction and for focus. The keystone adjustments are enough to compensate from the low and high positions that I’ve tested so far, but the focus doesn’t seem to compensate evenly with the keystone adjustments. When projecting from high or low angles, you can manage to get the projection to align straight vertically, but trying to focus will yield one portion of the screen, either top or bottom, being blurred even after trying to correct it. I had to adjust the keystone angle to be out of vertical to make sure the entire screen stayed focused. This is a limitation of having both a manual keystone adjustment and a manual focus. Higher end projectors use electronic keystone adjustment so this isn’t an issue, but those projectors also cost hundreds, if not thousands, more. As it stands, you’re going to want to keep your projector about as level as you can with the screen if you want both vertical alignment AND complete focus.

Overall I’d say this is a fantastic projector for the price point. The picture is far clearer than most basic projectors that are name brand without jumping up to much higher price points. I can see this being a great projector for outdoor movie nights out on the patio or when on a cabin trip, and it is doing an outstanding job of letting me play my Switch games on a much larger screen when I’m on the go.

For being so small it shows such a good picture, sound and quality. I bought this projector on a budget, and it honestly surprised me what it could do. I could air play videos on it, connect a console to it, watch anything on it. I’m glad I didn’t pick any other projector cause this one has a lot of features and things I love.

Not going to go too into detail but it’s an overall good projector for its price.

Bought it for casual film watching and gaming without expectation of a superb performance, and it does an excellent job in every aspect, given its compact size and affordable price. The auto focus works amazingly well. Additionally, its brightness level is sufficient for daytime use.

Does NOT come with screen BUT if using indoor on a white wall you do not need a screen! I bought a screen the next day and ended up returning it because the quality looked just as good on the wall! The remote is 7/10, somewhat easy to use but works great. I couldn’t get the size right at first but I moved the projector closer to wall and it worked better! Totally worth the price… Totally! Only issue I am having; my laptop connects and continues playing on my laptop and won’t show on screen and YES, the HDMI cable is plugged in… My Firestick works perfectly fine on it!!!!!! Must Buy!
