ASUS P3B Portable LED Projector with Speakers 800 Lumens WXGA (1280x800) HDMI VGA Wireless 12000mAh Battery Up to 3 hours | Media Player | Remote | 2 Years Warranty

Before getting to the device itself, the company selling the device, Galactics passed the normal PERFECT service I get from Amazon. I usually try to buy things that are fulfilled by Amazon just to ensure (better my chances) of a well packed, working product. Galactics went over and beyond. Not only was the shipping fast, (ordered on Monday evening, had on Tuesday)...which I suspect because we are both in GA, but it was perfectly packed and I could tell it was handled with care.The device... well... it took me days to find the perfect projector. I had so many things I wanted it to do:1) Battery powered2) Computer based resolution, (at least 768 horizontal)3) Short throw4) Audio out5) Multiple input6) Bright enoughWhat I got was something far greater. This unit is small and compact, comes with a nice carrying case. While the menu system leaves some to be desired, it is very functional and allows for some wonderful features. I had a spare wireless dongle hanging around, plugged it in, and found myself creating a connection to it in ways I had not anticipated. Home schooling our children, this now has become an electronic white board, at a fraction of the cost. I could connect PLEX to it using an old android tablet with NO adapter needed. I will be looking for an AirPlay adapter soon so I can throw my iPhone to it.The audio is actually far superior to what I expected. It will not power a backyard movie night, but it will fill a conference room. Speaking of backyard movie night... that was the main reason for getting this, (and so I could stop borrowing my friend's projector). We camp a lot and go outside in our backyard for movie night. So far, setting up for movie night has been a royal pain, and the things needed to bring with us when camping was enough to have us think twice, (yes we camp... without technology, but sometimes, it is nice to watch a movie with the fam under the stars when the ghost stories have ended). This has simplified things wonderfully. With our Amazon Tap, we bring this, the Tap, one cable and the Epson screen, (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004OBYYWG/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_67), we have everything we need that can be carried by one and setup in under a minute...yes...The battery life has not been fully tested. When camping, we usually bring a portable battery supply to charge things, we have adapters to charge this if needed. So far, we have been able to watch a full length movie, (roughly 2 hours) and play a few video games on the Xbox One and the battery meter showed half full. I suspect the lower half will drain faster, but it gave us about 135 minutes of display at full power before we turned it off, and it still had power. I will test it one night when we backyard camp so I will know what to expect when traveling with it.I like that it can be mounted.. Buy yourself a small mini-tripod, you will need it.They rate this at 800 lumens. I have not the equipment to test this, but I do work with several projectors both lower than and above this rating between work and church and home. This thing is by far the BRIGHTEST battery powered projector out there. I have had or used at least 7. It was one of my stipulations, had to be bright enough to not need to turn the lights off when using. In my conference room, all lights on, this thing is a jewel, everyone can see everything, and with the native resolution being so high, (for a portable projector), words were crisp.Only complaint, the menu system. It is not very user friendly. The manual is appropriate to get one started, but the full manual can be downloaded from the projector, or displayed on the projector if you desire.I am VERY pleased with this purchase, very pleased. It will get a lot of use.

I am so frustrated trying get this projector to connect wireless until I finally gave up. I was upset but I finally hit the ceiling when my ASUS laptop stopped recognizing it and the last few times I’ve tried I can’t get it to connect with the HDMI to my laptop. I threw $500 in the woods and it felt great.

I purchased the projector with WiFi dongle in order to project wirelessly from my iPhone. However, the ASUS app doesn't support iPhones more recent than iOS 11. This limitation isn't mentioned on the product page, unfortunately, which deceptively implies it will work with all iOS and Android devices.

I am quite satisfied with this projector. Obviously, you should not use it outdoors or in a well-lighted room, but it's perfect for small meeting rooms or a bedroom.There are a few gripes that shave off a fifth star though.1. The physical keys are finicky and sometimes work in unexpected ways (pressing a button for X is registered as button Y), which means you need to use the remote control.2. The projector battery discharges VERY quickly, going from full to almost empty in less than a week. I suspect this is due to the projector always being in a ready state to respond to remote control presses.3. Some of the network features, once you buy the compatible dongle, feel half baked. The only reliable way to connect a phone is through the Asus app or via physical MHL cable. It SEEMS to want to support Android screen mirroring via Miracast (Note: Asus never claims this, but there is an option for it), but it almost always fails.4. I feel the included carrying case is too small considering the bulkiness of the power adapter.In all, these are all minor issues with available workarounds which I hope Asus can possibly address with a firmware update (assuming it's supported). So, I would still heartily recommend this product if portability and utility is what you're looking for.

I just received my order today. It is a well packaged, and beautiful projector. The remote doesn't seem to respond well. I have several regular and about four cheaper mini projectors, but have not encountered difficulty with a remote like this one. It is too confusing. All in all, I like the Asus P3B projector with its short throw, and hopefully I will be able to overcome the pitfalls of the controls. For such a nice mini projector, you should have done a better job with the remote control.

Having read all the good ratings of the P3B I expected the brightness and resolution to be better. I had planned to use it in a week long meeting in a hotel projecting text from a laptop computer. In a meeting room with the blinds partially closed it was hard to read the projected text from a WORD document. Fortunately I had an HDMI cable and the TV monitor was connected to my laptop computer instead. Maybe my expectation for a mini projector was too high but I have a nine year old NEC portable projector, pre-HD, and it projects a significantly more brighter image. After having spent about $800 I was very disappointed but when I called Amazon and I shared my concerns and there was no hesitation for the agent to offer to send me a return label. I packaged the projector and sent it off and it is apparently "out for delivery". The good Amazon service will be confirmed when the money for the projector is refunded to my credit card.
