The manual says the range is about 8 feet, which is pretty close. from about 10 feet away, you can barely use it.

Ideally, the bluetooth should be integrated in the device so that you shouldn't need to open the compartment with all the I/o ports (for charging, USB, HDMI, USB.), just to get bluetooth access via the provided usb stick.I have to imagine that reduces the splash-proof capabilities when all those ports are exposed. But apparently you can use the bluetooth dongle/stick that comes with it to stream via bluetooth to external speaker (but I didn't test it). Speaker isn't all that om about 10 feet away, you can barely hear it. Could be a little brighter, because right now, you would only want to use it when it's dark/couldn't really watch anything during daytime. They should just use something like Roku built-in as their software/interface, or you could just connect a Roku Stick to it and that should do the trick. Couldn't get my phone to mirror/stream a video to the device either.

I downloaded a bunch, but some like Netflix, said they weren't supported on that device, others like Amazon Prime wouldn't actually play the video. Instead (or in addition) to having an App Store where you can download the apps, you should pre-install the most popular apps like Netflix, Amazon Prime, Youtube. But since the pool is long, the image becomes huge and there is no way to resize/shrink the image (other than bringing the projector closer to the screen, which again, can't be done in a pool area).

Again, since in my case, I'm dealing with a pool so I can't just park it in the middle of the pool/water, I need to put it on 1 end or the other, so that it is perfectly centered with the screen it's projecting on. Buy XGIMI Halo True 1080p Portable Projector 749.00. It does not support making the image smaller/larger. You can use vertical keystone (automatically or manually), to make the image look good if you tilt it up/down, but no way to project to something that is slightly to the side. I was planning on putting it on the side of my pool to project in front, but it can't project that way and the projector needs to be right in front of the area you want to project on. It’s a budget-TV golden age: You can get a. It does not support horizontal lens shifting. We’ve tested Roku’s new Plus Series TV and Amazon’s Fire TV Omni QLED TV and added our thoughts to the Competition section. The unique features are the 3-hour battery life, splash and shock-proof, however, it also has some downsides: The quick start guide and unboxing experience is good. This is a nice projector in that it is light, compact and charges quickly.
