Viewing Experience
AKASO Mini Projector:
The viewing experience varies greatly depending on lighting conditions. I found projecting onto darker walls worked best in dimmer environments, while lighter walls performed well in moderately lit rooms. The clarity of the image is decent, but small text can sometimes be hard to read, especially in games or detailed images. I appreciated that it could handle larger text well, and for casual movie watching, it provided an enjoyable experience. However, the sound quality left something to be desired, and I often needed to connect an external speaker for better audio.TMY Ultra Mini Projector:
The viewing experience has been quite enjoyable overall. The picture quality is surprisingly vibrant given its size, supporting up to 1080P resolution. I’ve used it in both daylight and ambient lighting situations, and while it performs best in darker environments, I was still impressed with the clarity and brightness of the image. The projector can create a large display from a short distance, making it perfect for small spaces or intimate gatherings. However, I did notice that I had to adjust the focus periodically as the unit warmed up, which could be a minor inconvenience.AKASO WT50 Mini Projector:
The image quality is impressive for such a small device, providing bright and crisp images even in dim lighting conditions. I have successfully used it for both small-scale projects like cookie decorating and larger viewing experiences for movies. The clarity of the projection is striking, with minimal distortion when projecting up to a 15-foot diagonal. However, I did notice that the projector's performance is heavily reliant on the environment being adequately dark, which is something to consider when planning to use it outdoors or in bright rooms.Features

System Experience
AKASO Mini Projector:
Setting up the projector is fairly straightforward, especially with the included HDMI cable. However, I encountered some challenges while trying to connect wirelessly, particularly with my iPhone. The instructions provided were somewhat lacking, leading to confusion during the process. It took additional time and assistance from family to finally establish a proper connection. Once set up, the projector proved to be user-friendly, with a remote that facilitated navigation—though it was occasionally unresponsive.TMY Ultra Mini Projector:
Setting up the TMY Ultra Mini Projector was a breeze. The intuitive interface meant I could connect it to various devices with ease, whether it be through HDMI, USB, or wirelessly via Bluetooth. I particularly enjoyed the functionality of screen mirroring, which worked seamlessly with my iPhone. However, I did run into some initial frustrations with casting from my phone due to copyright restrictions on popular streaming apps, but once I connected an Apple TV or Fire TV Stick, my viewing options opened up significantly.AKASO WT50 Mini Projector:
Setting up the projector was a breeze right out of the box. I was able to connect it to my Wi-Fi quickly and easily, and I found the remote control to be functional, albeit a bit slow at times. The fact that it supports HDMI and USB input options enhances its versatility. However, I did encounter some issues with the built-in apps, particularly with Netflix, which often crashes. The Android operating system seems outdated, limiting app support significantly. Still, the ease of connecting to my devices, such as phones and laptops, makes the setup process manageable overall.Conclusion
