Easy to setup and amazing sound!
on July 21, 2024

Great sound bar system. It comes in large box and very well packed. Setting it up was pretty easy. I setup the bar on my table bellow my TV, then the subwoofer to the side and I mounted the two surround speakers on the back of my couch using some standard speaker stands (the surround speakers are not heavy at all and have a standard threading on the back). The surround speakers and the subwoofer connect to the soundbar wirelessly, however they do require to be to connected to a power outlet (each come with their own power cables). Then I plugged everything to power and turned the soundbar on. All the devices paired automatically without a hitch. You can use the remote to control the soundbar from here, but I highly recommend you download the app to give you the most control and more importantly, calibrate the soundbar.
Upon launching the LG soundbar app, it first checked for a firmware update. I did the Ai room calibration. It uses your phone's mics to calibrate the sound system depending on the acoustics of the room you have it. I feel that this is a must and must be done ASAP to get the best sound out of the sound system. Then you can use the app to completely control the Soundbar. There are several sound modes, however I liked the Ai Sound pro mode the best. Its kind of a set it and forget it mode. It uses Ai to analyze what you are watching and equalize on the go. There are also settings like you can change the levels of the individual speakers (like the center, surround etc), here lies a very hidden setting at the bottom, where you can turn on surround sound up mixing. So if you are watching a show that is only stereo let say, you can make it surround sound by up mixing. This works very well. I tried it on a soccer game and I could feel the pitch and stadium sounds all around me.
Now onto connectivity. The sound bar has a great feature, where if you have any of LGs latest Oled 4 series (B4, C4, G4) the soundbar can pair wirelessly to your TV and it can use your TVs speakers as additional speakers to improve sound. I like the second feature, however I would still plug in the soundbar via ARC HDMI to pass video and sound signals as digital HDMI is the best quality. The bar has an ARC HDMI port and a secondary port you can plug in any device (like a Blu-ray player, game console etc). Its HDMI port supports several gaming features like 120hz, VRR, ALLM, however with some caveats. It appears it does not have the full bandwidth of HDMI 2.1. As it can only do 120hz with 8 bit (so forget about HDR gaming at 120hz, 10 bit color is required for thru HDR gaming). So If you have a modern gaming TV with 120hz, VRR HDR/Dolby Vision, I highly recommend you plug in your game console/PC to your TV's 120hz ports directly if you want the best picture quality and send the sound only to the soundbar using Earc.
Sound wise, the sound is amazing and I feel enveloped by it on my TV room. Because the bar has up firing speakers, you can enjoy of positional audio like Dolby Atmos or DTS X. Plus the surround speakers on the back too. The subwoofer is powerful enough and rumbles my room. They also include a basic remote, an HDMI cable and some brackets and a template to wall mount the bar. I barely used the basic remote, as one I paired the bar with the phone app, I just used that.
Highly recommend this bar if you want to enjoy superb involving sound. I tried also 4k blurays with Atmos and DTS X tracks and they sound amazing.

Great sound and battery life!

Posted by: JamexRZ
These earbuds are hands down one of the best I have had, and I've many. They come inside a nice little package. They include a carrying case that feels almost like leather (but you can tell its plastic), they also include a tiny USB cable, however I was greatly surprised the case supports wireless charging too, so that is great. The fit of the earbuds is perfect and they stay perfectly inside my ear canals, even when running or doing some physical activity. They say to be somewhat water resistant to liquids like sweat (IPX4). Once fully charged I installed their app on my phone and pairing them with it was super easy. All I had to do is open the flap on the case and my phone detected them and got paired via Bluetooth. Then added them on their app. There was an initial firmware update that went quick. After that I explored the app and it seems very well done. It has tons of customization like an Equalizer, touch controls etc. They have amazing sound and you can customize it with the app like I mentioned with an equalizer. The earbuds themselves are touch sensitive so you can tap and/or hold them to perform several functions, like play, pause, etc. music, answer calls, your preferred voice assistant.
Battery life was also great, have been using them through the day at work and battery was still going strong, and in between I put them inside the carrying case, which charges them on the go too. In the app you can also control several features to preserve your battery life (like not charging them past 90%, not charging if they hot etc).
I highly recommend these if you are looking for comfy, great quality earbuds and with great battery life.

Best coffee maker I've had, period.
on July 9, 2024
Posted by: JamexRZ
This is simply the best coffee maker I've had. And I have had many in the past. Came very well packed and feels super well built and heavy. They include everything you need to make espresso, regular cups of coffee, cold ones etc.
They include a tamping device, a funnel so your coffee doesn't get spilled, two sizes of cups (luxe for larger sizes and a double for espressos) and some accessories to clean and maintain your device.
They include a manual, also a second book and a quick start guide to get you started. This is where my only CON is. Why have two books for instructions and not just one? I mean, the second book is more of a recipe one, however it does contain information about how to use, clean and maintain the coffee maker that is not in the main manual and vice-versa. I found myself looking at two books at the same time to be able to find some specific information about the device.
One of the first steps is to use one of the included water test strips to find out the "hardness" of your local water (minerals in your water supply), because this is going to decide how often you will need to descale your device due mineral accumulation (you can use distilled water you can buy at your grocery store for no minerals at all in your water...). You will indicate the machine what is your water hardness level. Then you fill up the coffee grinder with as much whole beans you want. The device has a nice and large indicating LED screen on the front, its not touch, you just turn dials and press buttons and settings will light up on the screen. Lastly you fil up the water reservoir.
Now, onto making coffee, depending of the size and type of drink you will select, you pop the wand bellow the grinder and select the grind size (from very fine to rough) and it will automatically grind the coffee beans for your according to the size and type of drink. I love how many options you have. You can do a espresso shot, double shot, or regular cups of coffee all hot, but there are also many cold options like cold pressed or coffee over ice. The wand has a funnel to avoid spilling any grounded coffee. You then pop it under the water spout, this part is very hard to do the first time, but I found it gets easier after a few uses. You then decide the size and type of coffee cup you want and and press the dial. The screen will show you the progress of your drink.
The right hand side of the maker has a holder to make froth. You can choose to use either dairy or vegetal based ones (I guess real milk or plant based ones like soy milk or almond milk). It can make very light ones to very thick frothy ones for you. You can learn and become your own barista with this machine.
I also love how well though it is in regards to storing your accessories. The machine has wholes on the left side to store your funnel and tamping device. On the right side it has a flap that opens to store your cup sizes and cleaning devices (a brush and a cleaning rubber).
It's so easy to make coffee with this machine, I love how well everything is laid out on the huge LED screen on the front and love the chrome accents. I wish only it was a little heavier so it doesn't move when inserting the wand, that's all. If you want to make your own espressos or fancy coffee drinks at home without paying some store to do it for you, I highly recommend it!!!! So far I have made espressos, regular rich coffee cups with creamer and a cold one and they all came out great, check my pics!!

---CONS--
-It comes with a quick start guide, a manual and a recipe booklet. Some settings/instructions are on the booklet and some on the manual. They should be all in one. I found myself sometimes reading and going over things from one to the other to figure out things. The recipe booklet should be only for recipes and not have crucial info about the device, this should be only on the manual. So read them both carefully!!
- I wish it was a little heavier, I found myself turning the whole thing over without even wanting to while inserting the wand, because it was so hard to do so (I found it gets a little softer over time, but still).

Great CAM hardware, software needs some work.
on July 4, 2024
Posted by: JamexRZ
This is a great camera 3 pack security camera package. Its essentially a NVR, where the cameras just send the stream and a central HUB records and manages it all. It includes all you will need to monitor around your property. Everything comes very well packed and with 3 distinct separated boxes inside the major box. They also include a quick start guide and more detailed manuals (1 for the NVR Hub, 1 for the cameras, and 1 for the Android/iOS apps).
This is a whole NVR system. They include a central hub, which creates its own wireless network, it does not use your home's Wi-fi at all. This is great, and it has further reach and penetration than your common household Wi-fi. The hub has also a backup battery, so in case power goes out, it will still continue to record until power comes back. It also has a HDMI port to connect the hub to any TV or monitor, an ethernet port, if you wish to give it internet access and two USB ports (one used for the mouse they include) and also if you wish to add an external USB drive for larger storage. They do include a 64GB Micro SD card (has also an Micro SD card slot) to get you started.
Following the instructions, you start with the HUB. I plugged everything I needed first before powering it on (HDMI cable, mouse ethernet, an external USB drive), then powered it on and it came up on my TV monitor screen. Its like its own operating system. Once it, you go through a simple setup (like language, time zone etc.) and create an admin password (so no one else can access it and view your recordings or change your settings). Once in, you can see your camera channels and change any settings. At this point there was no camera, as had not added any yet.
Onto the cameras, I had charged them for around a day before (you should fully charge them first, because the solar panels are to keep them charged, but you have to give them a full charge first). All the cams have a flap you open (this is to protect them from weather elements) and that exposes a type C USB charge port, a power on/of button. They include everything you need to wall mount them, either on wood or concrete. They also include easy rain gutter mounts, no drilling necessary. Once I mounted mine with its own large wireless antenna and turned it on, it paired automatically with the central hub and showed there.
Once you have all your cameras showing up, you can download and pair your hub with the Swann mobile app for remote viewing, management and alerts. This is my biggest CON though. The app on Android (and I have a last gen phone) is super slow, unstable (crashes a lot) and makes my whole android phone crash. Videos take forever to load. AND THEY DO NOT EXPOSE ALL THE SETTINGS ON IT. I will highly recommend you go through all the settings in the CENTRAL HUB, because many important settings are not exposed in the app. I.E. the app does not have options to change the cooldown time of detections, change the AI detection strength (app will only let you change the regular motion sensitivity, but there are far more options regarding these on the HUB). Luckily they also have an app for windows, so I can also manage and keep an eye from any Windows PC/laptop I have.
The whole kit's hardware is great and of quality, very well constructed, the cameras feel great too. It's their software, more the mobile app that needs more work.
The camera solar panel will keep your camera charged, as long as you follow their instructions well (the manual recommends where to mount it if you live on the northern or southern hemisphere). Of the 3 included cameras, I had to mount one where only gets sunlight half of the day. On this one I had to tweak some settings in the HUB (like length of recordings, cooldown time and also the recording zones: Yes you have a grid were you can chose what area only to monitor). This allowed this one to keep its charge around 45-50% all the time no problem. The other too do get sunlight all the time, because I mounted them higher on the gutter with the included gutter mounts (this is great) and the solar panel does a great job keeping them charged. You should still fine tune your motion sensitive, cooldowns etc. IN THE HUB for better optimization.
Video and audio quality is great, you can choose to record either in SD or HD mode and the app lets you see it in many screen ratios (1.1, 4:3, 16:9 etc.). The motion light is bright and strong, and cameras also have some blue and red lights called "Swann force" its kind of a little cop siren light. You can program the cameras to light, play a loud siren, or those blue/red cop lights. The cameras also have two way audio so you can speak through them. Video quality at night is also great and they have night vision, although if you make the cameras turn on their lights they will record in color.
The central HUB offers lots of customizations (you can even setup an email server and make it send alert emails etc.). I highly recommend to explore and get familiar with the central NVR hub as it makes this kit powerful. The mobile app, I just recommend for regular alerts. It still needs a lot of work from Swann. The central HUB will record and store all your video clips on the included SD card or your own provided USB storage. There is no need for cloud subscriptions. However, they do offer an OPTIONAL cloud subscription for cloud upload and backup and some more rich alerts. They do give you a 3 month trial if you wish to test this.
I will highly recommend this kit if you want to monitor your property around. It is great for a large property, backyard, barn etc. It offers great quality compared to other ones out there. This is really an upper level of camera kit and I have had lots in the past from the other more known and mainstream brands and were not as well constructed as this one.

Full size keyboard, while still saving space!
on July 2, 2024
Posted by: JamexRZ
I'm loving this gaming keyboard. Packaging was great and they include not only the keyboard, but also a nice plastic dust cover, a braided USB cable, a keycap puller and and a switch puller.
I love that they keyboard is practically a full size one, while still saving a little bit of space (technically its a 96%). You still have arrows and a numpad if you need one. I'm a gamer but I also do some work and a numpad is required. I do hate full size keyboards because they take space from my mouse and me using a low DPI on it I need to lots of space to move my mouse. This keyboard is the best of both worlds, full F row, arrow keys and full numpad while saving me a some space for my mouse.
The switches on this keyboard are linear, Glorious own Fox ones. They are prelubed from factory and are "thocky" and smooth, glorious has put great work to make it sound good (they use sound dampening foam on the bottom of the keyboard). They remind me of a better Cherry red linear. The keycaps are ABS, but they are doubleshot and feel great and have a little bit of a texture to the, great for a little more grip. Legends are clear and RGB shines through just fine.
This keyboard works in conjunction with Glorious Core software to fully manage it. Its not needed, but if you want to fully utilize your keyboard I would recommend you give it a try. It does run on your taskbar, however you can save any settings to the keyboard and then make it so it doesn't auto run anymore. Upon first booting the software it detected my keyboard needed a firmware update, this important you do as they generally fix bugs. You can control the lighting, layers, macros etc. But the best setting (me being a gamer) is that it will let you change the keyboard's polling rate (highest is 1000hz) and also the input latency (lowest is 2ms) for the fastest gaming experience. Since its also a hot swappable keyboard, if you don't like the stock switches, you can install your own ones. It does support 3 and 5 pin switches!

Fast, compact and smart laptop
on July 2, 2024
Posted by: JamexRZ
Loving this smart laptop. It came well packed and they included a nice soft velvet cover, a wall charger. The laptop itself feels super premium and its very well constructed. Its a silver plastic and feels sturdy and there is very little to no flex. The keyboard is white back lit, which I love as many times I use my laptop on a dark enviroment. The screen is amazing and with great contrast and blacks. I was surprised to see it is also a touchscreen and very sensitive. The keyboard is keys are your typical chiclet type on laptops. It has a new button, the AI copilot one. More on this later.
The laptop itself is one of the new generation of Windows Copilot, with AI ones. The CPU is not your typical x86 architecture we've been used too. Its a super efficient ARM one, created by Snapdragon (lots of phones and mobile devices carry these type of CPU's). This one has an Snapdradgon X Elite with 12 cores and an Adreno GPU. This type of ARM architecture is very power efficient while very performing. One new thing, is the new SOC (system on a chip) has now a NPU (neural processing unit). Which drives AI based tasks very rapidly locally on your laptop.
Windows itself feels and works just like any other x86 version of windows, although its an ARM based one. There are tons of apps compatible with it in the Windows app store, and even x86 run fine on it, because Microsoft has created a compatibility/translation layer. Although its not very performing and some apps may refuse to run or may see the hardware as incompatible (I tried a few games to see, like Cyberpunk and although it ran, it was very slow) other games just refused to run. So, I guess this will be improved in the future by Microsoft with updates, hopefully. However, this is not a gaming oriented laptop. Its more of a productivity, work, and school one.
The new Copilot feature is great to do complicated searches or just ask questions if you are working on a project i.e for work or school. You can enable "plug ins" for it, for example for instacart to make orders just talking to it or other things. You can press the Copilot button on the keyboard and it will launch the app. One thing I didn't like, is once opened you either type your question or you can click on the mic icon to ask one talking, it should just launch waiting for you to talk right out of the bat. Maybe this could be improved upon by Microsoft. It supposedly uses the NPU locally and pulls some out of the internet. It's all based one LLM (large language models). I find the feature useful for school research. You can make it translate/analyze videos, pictures, webpages etc.
The performance of the laptop is fast and snappy. It feels the ARM architecture and the ARM version of Windows make it very lightweight. This also makes it so the battery life is amazing, by far the longest I have had on a laptop before. I had 3 days of regular usage on a charge and it was still going strong by around 50%. Charging is fast too. It has two type C USB ports (one is power too, to charge the laptop) and another type A USB which happens to have a flap you pull down (kind of some ethernet ports). Once con is the laptop doesn't have an ethernet port, it connects via fast WI-FI 7. I also love the huge trackpad. Its responsive, does not activate due false inputs and has tons of gestures you can use on it.
Highly recommend this laptop if you do a lot of school work/research, for work and creativity. Its definitely a productivity powerhouse, with some light gaming.

Once you go QD-OLED, you'll never go back!
on June 23, 2024
Posted by: JamexRZ
Amazing monitor. Once you experience an Oled panel, there is no going back anymore, and this is even an further improvement, being it a QD-Oled.
Monitor came very well packed in a brown box. It was very well protected with Styrofoam and the screen itself had a peel plastic protector (this is important, some other manufacturer in the past skimped on this and there were damaged panels) and a nice cushy one. Included in the box was an sturdy and easy to assembly stand (which I did not use, since I arm mounted mine), however it could tell it was heavy and made of aluminum. I like that the sand is one solid piece and not one of those "V" shaped feet other monitors give. This way is a solid one piece and doesn't occupy much space on your desk. They also included a variety of accessories, like a power brick and cable, a 8k Display port cable, a HDMI cable and a upstream USB cable (to connect the monitor to your PC and use its two USB ports as a USB hub). The back of the monitor also supports arm/wall mounting and uses a standard VESA monitor mount spacing. It was easy and simple to mount to my desk mount (and super light being so thin, another Oled benefit).
The power button is in the back around the middle of the monitor (feels a little awkward to reach underneath, I would have preferred it to be on the back but around the side, or even better, for the price for them to enable and include a remote control). Once connected I pressed the button and started my PC. Upon start the resolution is 2560x1440p but at 60Hz, I had to go to Windows display settings to finally select 360Hz!! I'm still wrapping my head around such fast refresh rates are possible today.
The resolution is perfect for me and I feel is the perfect middle ground between 1080p and 4k. Its not as taxing as 4k while still giving me great picture quality and at this 27" pixel density is great. Now onto the elephant in the room. The MATTE coating. Well, I was a glossy snub before and I was a little apprehensive about this one. However, I must report that Samsung has done this antiglare coating RIGHT. Its not as aggressive as others, and does help with reflections without distorting image or reducing contrast or brightness. BELIEVE ME. You notice it of course when the screen is off, but when on, good lord the picture quality, contrast and saturation of this QD-OLED panel is amazing. You would not be disappointed.
The 360hz refresh rate and more importantly the near instant response times of Oled panels is amazing. There is no lag or trails around images nor blur (unlike LCD panels). You must have a good video card with display port to be able to drive such high refresh rates, however if you can't achieve such high frame rates, the display also supports adaptive sync/Freesync premium (variable refresh rate.
The image on HDR mode is amazing. I would recommend on Windows, you first download the Windows HDR calibration tool from the Windows app store to correctly calibrate and create a HDR profile for Windows. I also recommend you keep your desktop on SDR mode and only enable HDR (you can use key combo of Winkey+alt+B) before launching a game you know supports HDR. If you set the peak brightness to high and picture mode to eco, the display reaches around 1000nits with the calibration tool. Games that support HDR loo AMAZING on this screen.
This screen also has Samsung's new Safecare+ system, that has colling heat pipes on the back to better cool the screen, and this (together with other techs like pixel shift and pixel refresh) helps to avoid burn in. If you take care of your screen you will not have burn in. I recommend one watches/plays a variety of content, never keeping static images for a long time. I recommend on a PC, to first, set a plain all black background, then remove any icons (no icons) from your desktop and set the windows taskbar to autohide. This are the best settings for any Oled panel being used with a
PC.
PC.
Highly recommend this screen for any serious gamer!!!!

Cooling off is a breeze with the Levoit Classic 36-Inch Smart Tower Fan. Comfortable and don~t want to get up to change a setting? Change fan settings with the remote control or through the VeSync app. Want to keep your room quiet and peaceful? This fan operates with noise levels as low as 25dB. Looking for customization without having to navigate confusing settings? Equipped with 4 modes and 12 fan speeds, this fan does the work for you~all you have to do is choose your preference.

I love this tower fan. It came in a large but skinny box. They include the base (you assemble it and it feels very sturdy and there is no wobble at all) and a nice remote control and a manual. I was surprised at how sleek and modern it looks, but also its very lightweight. This however does not affect the fan quality. It is simply superb. I was surprised how whisper quite it is and how much air it moves. Even at lower speeds (like at night) I blows a refreshing gentle breeze.
It is also "smart". I connects to the internet (has Wi-Fi) and you manage it with the Vesync app. I must point that at the time of configuring the Wi-Fi, I had a little hiccup. My phone was currently connected to a 5ghz network and the fan only supports 2.4ghz ones. It would not connect. But I found a workaround. Just connect your phone temporarily to your 2.4ghz network, finish the setup and then, you can switch back your phone to your 5ghz network. Once the fan is already connected to the internet you can manage it no problem, even if they are on different networks. Once connected to the internet, the app also updated the fan's firmware. The app is great, you can manage all the fans features, create schedules (like I.E for when you go to bed). They also include a nice and compact remote. If you don't use it, you can clip it on the back of the fan (it has a slide in compartment).
The fan has many functions. You can manually adjust the fan speed, if you want it stationary or oscillating, you can set a timer, a night mode (all the lights turn off and it will start at a higher fan speed and as temps go lower during the night, it will auto adjust-lower the fan speeds accordingly), there is also an auto mode that adjusts fan speed depending on the room temp. I love that it has a temperature sensor and a nice display. The display can show either the fan speed or the room temperature and the fan speed status, also Wi-Fi.
The fan blows lots of air and I was surprised at how quiet it is, even when oscillating, there is no mechanical noises at all. I use it a lot at night as temps go down, I don't like using the AC, however since this guy has a night mode and can sense temps, it delivers a gently breeze, letting me sleep comfortably. Cleaning it is easy and if you want to do a more in depth cleaning, you can pop the back open to clean the inside. Highly recommend this fan!!!

-I could not find any cons honestly, maybe just the little hiccup I mentioned above when configuring the Wi-Fi (which I solved myself, and is not mentioned in the manual).
-I doesn't filter air (but again, its not intended to do so, nor advertised as that, but would be nice if it had some basic filtering capabilities no?).

Sturdy and full motion TV wall mount

Great wall mount. I will start right away with some PROS and CONS and then I will talk about them some more.
+++PROS+++
+Everything you need included in the box (except for your own tools, they tell you what you will need to provide in the manual).
+Includes a wall template.
+Detailed instructions (there are installation videos in their website too).
+Feels very sturdy.
+Full range motion (you can extend it, swivel, tilt, you can move your TV up and down also after installation, about 2")
+Cable routing channel in the back.
+Their website has a TV model finder, where you put your TV model and it will tell you if its compatible with this mount. I would highly recommend you do this before.

---CONS---
-The only con I could find is, I feel their installation manual is incorrect when it comes to the needed drill bit size for wall stud installation. They mention a 7/32 is required. This is too small for the big size of the bolt you are going to be driving through it. I used and I recommend you use at the minimum a 3/16). Refer to my pictures to visualize this.
The mount came in a very well packed and compact box. Inside they include all the screws, bolts, washers etc. you will need to wall mount your TV either on a wall stud or a concrete wall. They include a nice booklet manual and also a super handy template so you can mark your wall and level it up before drilling.
They mentioned in their manual a 7/32 drill bit was needed for wall stud mounting, however I feel this is too small for the huge bolts you are going to be driving through. I resorted to using a 3/16 and this worked perfectly to make the holes. Once done, it was easier to drive through the 2 huge bolts that will anchor it to the wall. The mount has two cover that flip over these bolts so you don't see them anymore.
Then I placed the separated back plate onto the TV. If your TV's back is flat you only need 4 screws and washers. If your TV's back is kind of curved, they also include some spacers to make it work too. Once the back plate was attached, it was easy enough to hang and clip it to the already installed arm on the wall. Then it has a screw in the back to lock it into place. In this very same location, if you undo a little bit that screw you can fine tune the level adjustment if your TV isn't perfectly level. It also has a nice knob in the back to adjust tilt. These two, together with the extension arm you can adjust while your TV is mounted. The last adjustment is the TV high, which is easy to adjust too, however for this you must remove it from the arm but once its out its easy to adjust and fine tune.
In all, its a great wall mount and I love the full range of movement it gives my TV, the build quality is superb and feels super sturdy. I have other Sanus mounts and have never had any problems with them over the years. Highly recommend it if you want to save desk space and have full motion of your TV!!!

Compact and very versatile.
on May 30, 2024
Posted by: JamexRZ
Really nice mini projector. I was surprised at how compact it is. Upon opening the package (comes very well packed and protected) I found they include a long cabled power adaptor, a IR remote control and a HDMI cable.
The projector itself is very compact and sturdy, does not feel cheap at all. I was surprised at how many ports and options it gives you for connectivity. It has a HDMI port so you can plug almost anything that has an HDMI out (streaming devices, PC, consoles etc). It also has an USB port so you can plug a flash drive in example with some movies or pics in it to project. It also has a speaker/headphones out port so you can plug external speakers or headphones (it does have an internal speaker.
Onto the setup. Setting it up was easy. It does have a physical screw in the base so you can adjust the angle the projector is pointing at. You can either set it on top of a table or you can mount it. It can be mounted straight up or you can flip it or mount it on the ceiling. It does support this. It also has electronic keystone adjustments to tweak your image. Once you go through the setup you can set its Wi-Fi connection or you can cast directly from your phone. They give you detailed instructions on how to cast either an iOS (apple) or android phone. From there you can cast anything from your phone, apps, movies etc. Of course, because it also has a HDMI port and a USB port, you can plug pretty much anything into it to project. Like a Blu-ray player, streaming device, PC, console etc. Its such a versatile device. Although its "just" 720p it does accept 1080p signals, just downscale them. I love how compact and you can take it anywhere you want, that at least has AC power. I don't see this projector as a main in house projector, for that you can get any other, more expensive ones. But to take it on the go, its magnificent. I.E. you can take it camping, or you can take it outside for nice night out the backyard movie nights this summer. The internal fans are quiet and do not disturb any movie viewing. It does have an internal speaker good enough in case you forget your own, but I highly recommend plugin it in to external speakers and because it does support Bluetooth speakers, you can connect them wirelessly too!
Video quality is great and very bright. Its 720p HD and its plenty enough for its intended use!
The quality and versatility is this, and I am amazed at how much you get for the price!!!
