RAGU Z400 Mini Projector, Multimedia Home Theater Video Projector with +21% Lumens 50,000Hours Support HDMI VGA USB AV SD Connected with Laptop/iPad Smartphone Xbox for Movie Game Party(2018 Upgraded)

I purchased this projector just a hair over 2 years ago. After buying it, I used it for what I'd estimate is under 50 hours of playtime. It did alright, although it was hopeless if there was any light from another source. Sound quality is awful, but this didn't bother me much since I used an external speaker. Leveling was a pain due to it only having one adjuster (a threaded post on the front to adjust throw height) but you could make it work with some creatively folded paper. All in all, it was a cheap projector that had minimal brightness and a laundry list of quirks, but could be made to work well with some fiddling and the right conditions.Fast forward to now. It's 2 years and 15 days after I bought it. I pulled it out of storage about a week ago. It went into storage (a moving box) about a year and a half ago when I moved to a new house. I had it sealed in a plastic bag that was taped to keep out contaminants while being stored. Anyhow, after unpacking it, I hooked it up, and to my surprise, it worked great! Watched a few movies and everything was hunky-dory. Then it developed a brown spot that slowly progressed into a bigger and bigger spot, until it ultimately tainted 2/3~ of the screen. Really annoying and disappointing, but still usable to a degree. Then the display suddenly shifted until it only projected the image in negatives. No picture adjustments would make any difference. Decided to take it apart and found that the LCD screen had a partially melted ribbon wire and a burned tint lens, explaining the negatives and brown spot respectively. Figured that it somehow got the air vents packed with debris, but nope! All air passages were clear and the fan was fully operational. My next projector will definitely not be this brand. Terrible quality, and you can't even find parts to fix the thing.

I've been using this projector for a little over a year, I love it. My brother loves it too, he moved and didn't have a tv or monitor so I let him borrow my projector so he could use it with his Nintendo Switch. Only problem, somewhere along the way I misplaced the remote and now I don't know how to adjust the brightness settings. If anyone knows about getting a replacement remote, hit me up. I'm projecting on a pink wall and can not tell. I'm going to assume that the brightness is affected by the saturation of the pigment on the wall. I projected onto my ceiling and the 'screen' was glowing, it was almost too bright. My wall is a good 8 feet or so away from the projector, the ceiling is maybe 5 feet. Edges are a little blurry and when I use the stand on mine the projector tends to tilt a little. Nothing some index cards or post it notes can't fix. I was not looking for a super fancy projector, but I was pleasantly surprised with the Ragu Z400. My transaction was around $80 for this projector, over a year ago. It's almost half-priced now so I highly recommend this projector for anyone not too picky about Ultra HD, 4K, 5K, etc. Its a nice little projector for pc's, laptops, xbox's (don't expect crystal clear images), switches, other gaming devices. It's probably work well for power point presentations. The fan is audible and the built in speaker is not bad. I do connect the projector to a different speaker with my aux chord, my brother did not and said that he preferred the built-in speaker in the projector. Again, don't buy this projector if you are a knit-picker. Do buy if you want a projector for the novelty of having a decent projector for an affordable price. I still cant believe the price went down, I'd still pay the original price for it.

Having used projectors for a few years, Ive seen a few models in action. This low price point model will get you a cheap product. Not worth it. Watching a soccer game on HD connections sucks. At 10ft, text will be blurry and focus isnt really there. I tried using it during daylight time in a windowed room and it was pretty bad for brightness. I then tested it at night and it was also bad. This product is not crisp or bright as advertised. It does turn on,however and is easy to use out of box. I wouldnt even give this to a kid tho for cartoons.

I've used this less than 10 times and it won't turn on. I went to use it for a presentation and no juice! Junk.

It was a pretty good projector while it lasted. The sound was good. The picture quality was good but not great. My other projector is brighter and you can see it better when lights are on in the room. The remote was cheap and didn't work all of the timeI purchased it at the end of 2017 and it’s stopped working in 2018. I thought it was the lightbulb but the projector won’t turn on.

This product is Ok it served our purpose for an outdoor movie. It has downsides like not being able to use all media forms and getting the sound hooked up with an external source did not work well and was not user friendly but we plan to revisit and try again. It was frustrating.

I bought this projector for playing movies in our basement. The projector has a quality image and is super easy to set up. We don't really have a projector screen. But instead projects to the wall which has been painted with the gray color. It still works great with vivid color and high resolution. I also like to compact size of this projector, so I can easily bring it for outdoor event. The remote control is quite useful too. I like the projector overall!

works great.
