Product details
Web ID: 24562461Beware! Overrated. Mediocre picture quality.
I just cannot believe the rating this projector has got. I am someone who have tried good number of budget projectors especially from XGIMI and Wanbo. I am not a technical nerd, but this projector appears to 720p being advertised and 1080p or there is fundamentally wrong with the LCD/chip. For a 100 inch image, I can see clear pixel separations that is not expected in a 1080p projector. Also there is a trailing light on bright texts. The sound quality is alright, the brightness is alright too. It is failing on most important aspect of a projector - DISSPLAY. - The chunky old laptop style voltage converted power brick is another minus to hook it on ceiling. BTW this does not have upward projection, has 50X50 projection meaning this projector needs to be placed halfway of the screen (parallel) for better experience. - For this price range other companies moved on to Google TV. This has out dated Android TV11. Overall there are better projectors out there for this price.
Great Value for the Price
Solid Projector and Screen Combo The projector is well-built, with good material quality and solid performance. The autofocus works correctly, and the corner adjustment feature is extremely helpful for getting the image just right. Brightness is good, and contrast is decent for this price range. Android TV runs smoothly, and the projector supports 4K at 60Hz with HDR via HDMI. However, on Android TV itself, 4K is supported but without HDR. The projection screen also impressed me. It noticeably improves both brightness and contrast, especially in well-lit environments. The image appears clearer than when projected directly onto a wall. The only downside is that the top bar on the 120-inch version is slightly curved in the middle and doesn't hang perfectly straight. Overall, the price-to-performance ratio is very good. Still waiting for the soundbar, as there was a stock issue — will update once it arrives.

Great projector for size and price.
Great projector for the price. Being able to automatically adjust the keystone and size is great. I have a cheap portable screen that makes watching outside when its dark enough great. I can see it working great for camping or whatever.

Not a review - a question
Hello! I can't find the information of max focus distance of this projector. I have 3 meters wide screen, so calculation throw ratio of E40 it is giving me around 4m distance form the screen which will be ~135" in 16:9 ratio. Soo, my question will be if this model can handle focusing from that distance? It hasn't have to be super perfect when it comes to auto focus - i can adjust it manually, it is not a problem for me - just need to know the capacity of focusing distance. Thank you in advance!!

Great projector and best aftersale service
I want to correct my previous review. My unit was defective and after the after-sale service replaced my projector, the new one maintains all the virtues and corrects the problems of the first one. The attention has been great.

Exceeds expectations and specifications
I am really satisfied with the performance of the projector. Both the image and the sound are really good, even in not entirely favorable conditions, the layout of my room forces me to a lateral projection, and also with a vertical tilt, this undoubtedly affects the focus of the image, but the ultimea poseidon e40 solves the situation without problems, as can be seen in the videos and photographs. I have also set the specifications to the limit, the projected screen in my case is 130 inches, the recommended limit in the specifications is 120, logically this will affect the brightness but once again I have to say that I am satisfied with the result, even In daylight conditions the image brightness is sufficient, without requiring total darkness in the room. I can say that I totally recommend the projector, movies and series are enjoyed on another level.

Good but with buts...
The projector gives a great image. And I had doubts about the sound, but it is powerful and very good. In the basics, image and sound, no problem. Apart from that, the automatic image adjustment does not work as well as one would expect and in fact tilts the image (perhaps the product that I received has a small defect). But it's not serious because I think it's better to adjust the image manually. And another problem I've had is that I bought the Apollo S60 sound bar from Ultimea and I can't pair the devices with each other via Bluetooth. With other devices yes, but not with each other. Also say that the handle, if the inclination is too little, falls, but this is solved by putting something under the projector. A shame about these problems, because I am very satisfied with the image, amazing. It seems like you have a real screen in front of you.

Aesthetic projector that is perfect for our needs
We were looking for a projector that does not take up too much space, looks aesthetically pleasing without having to compromise on functionality. With limited space right now we decided on getting a projector instead of a TV on a budget and we have found the perfect projector for us. So I think I have highlighted how great the projector looks, it’s very sleek, the surface is matt (so no fingerprints), the handle is great for adjusting the height and projection angle, colour is nice and is really decorative in our apartment. Luckily in terms of functionality the projector is great! As you can see in the video, even during daylight you are able to receive a satisfying projection, so the brightness is really good. The speakers are totally fine (of course a soundbar would be better, but right now it’s enough for us and you can use Bluetooth speakers if you want to as well). Very practical that it has Android TV and Chromecast, would have been great if it was compatible with apple airplay? But that is a functionality we are willing to sacrifice with all the other great features. As others have mentioned the charger is very bulky, if it were powered by usb-C that would have been great, but we are not moving the projector often, so it does not really bother us. Using the Nintendo Switch with HDMI worked perfectly, too! All in all, it’s just so fun to use. And as you can see in the video the adjustment to the wall even though it’s projecting from a weird angle works really great and also the autofocus works good. I did not feel the need to manually adapt it so far, which is also a possibility. After using the projector for I a month now almost everyday, we can fully recommend the projector.
