Very quick to get setup and running.Comes with a nice remote (but you must supply the two AAA batteries.). Has Netflix, Youtube, Prime and Google Play buttons for quick access. Simple controls, along with Google Assistant (voice) support.Unit has mount for tripod which is not a bad way to go to get the right height setup for whatever projections location. Shoots up to 150 inch screen.(apologize for my manual images are upside down) - but this should be handy still, to learn more about the product. download the images, most tools allow for quick rotation).You can plug in USB stick that contains media to play that way or just plug in your favorite HDMI stick to add more options. But in reality, treat this like a smart tv... you have access to a world of apps. you can just set them up here. Manual states it supports up 128GB. However, I plugged in an external hard drive with some movies and it read it - 10TB in size. The storage section recognized it as well and it's size.Weight is only 4.2lbs200 ANSI lumens.. so you're going to want to make sure it's pretty dark where you're going to use this. 2000:1 contrast ratio.You must manually focus this item. Has keystone correction.Comes with 2 5-watt speakers inside - they're ok, but also has an audio jack to hook up more. As well, bluetooth connectivity. You can also hook this up to your wifi (2.4 & 5GHz).Was easy enough to get this up and running and casting from my Android phone. Can't speak to iOS, but there is the ability to do it.Different power adapters for diff parts of the world are also included - see my pics.Some cons are that the setup is what I'd consider out of date by today's standards.. Typing in credentials into the interface for setup purposes should also be available via your computer or cell phone to get things started.. Since this does not have a keyboard as part of this - just a bit of a pain going thru the initial setup.The sound from the built in speakers is a bit low. At full volume, was not that loud. So you're definitely going to need to plug in another speaker.If you're worried about privacy. Create a new google account and use that for this setup.The interface is a bit laggy with the controller. So can only believe the processor used to drive the smarts of this are not the latest. But keep in mind, the goal here is to watch something on a large screen, not drive around the interface.The power brick gets pretty warm, btw.I did have some software oddity, where I had downloaded YoutubeTV, then left it, went to Netflix, started a show.. then boom.. it dropped me out of the show into the Open Youtube app out of Google Play. Then load times got really bad..So one thing that did work really well was pairing with a bluetooth speaker. The volume definitely worked very well and there was no visible lag (out of sync) between the video and bluetooth speaker that I've seen in other products.You can direct plug in via stereo plug (headphones jack) if you do run into any lag.Comes with 4.6GB internal storage where you can store things: images, videos, etc.Built-in Chrome Cast. Which is really nice - thus you don't need an independent device to cast your Android phone and supported apps to this device.Picture quality is SOLID! I tried it at the 50" range up to the 150". Very sharp/crisp picture!
