Thread: Micro Projector Review - Aaxa M1

I bought one of these and thought it would be interesting to share. I lurk the site and have never made a real post, so here it is! I thought I'd make a real post rather than just welcome myself before posting. I don't really know where to put a peripheral review so here it will be posted.

Here is my story:

I bought this before xmas because my friend found one of those oldschool projectors that heat up super quickly. He got it for free and we've been playing movies/video games on it since we don't own TVs (college students). He has been running a direct input set up using his laptop's vga port to the old school yellow/red/white RCA cables.

I decided to pull the trigger on a similar one but couldn't shell out full retail for a big home theater projector that is any decent, and i know the ones similar to his are usually pretty busted. He has one of those old classroom ones that aren't very usable.

I went with the Aaxa M1 micro projector directly from Aaxatech.com because it was cheap and offered the most power in this budget. I also grabbed a netflix account to stream movies.


Review:
So far, I'm very excited about the product. It can blast huge images outside in the evenings/night for small get-togethers. It offers 66 lumens for the 0 price tag whereas the next step up in projectors is around 0 for only 100 lumens. I believe those ones are twice as big as well and cannot be run on battery life due to wattage. It also has on-board memory built in to the system (my reason for opting for this over the dell micro projector) allowing me to put movies directly on the unit. It adds to the portability.

someone asked me to post more pictures of this during the day time this quarter and when i am, i don't wake up early enough to be out during daylight...

however, i did take some pictures vs an actual TV ... if that works.

I just wanted to thank you for your review of the M1projector.
I'm very interested in those small prjectors and I wanted to ask you, if you could post more photos? eg. movie (trailer) at daytime compared to a movie at night..

greetings from Germany,

Philipp

I'll try to get some photos later today

Thaaaaaaank youuu!

hey guys, I know this is kinda old but I saw a $50 off coupon for M1 Plus. The code is M1PREF. Would this be a good deal for this unit? Puts it under $200, very tempting. I tried it with their other units but this seems to only work for M1 Plus.
