Should you buy a $15 Projector?? | Brookstone Keychain Projector Review

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 พ.ย. 2017
  • So I came across this projector in a Brookstone store in a mall one day while it was on sale for $15. You read that right its FIFTEEN DOLLARS. Its cheaper than lunch at a fancy restaurant that is. It was on clearance and I couldn't resist to pick it up and give it a try. So was it worth it? Can you use it for a second monitor for your windows or mac PC? Or is it actually a viable solution for a cheapo Netflix and video projector? Watch to find out!
    Looks like Brookstone really was discontinuing it though as its no longer on their website now...
    EVERYONE THAT ASKS FOR A LINK READ THE DESCRIPTION AND WATCH THE VIDEO. ITS FROM A STORE AND IT WAS ON SALE HOW DO YOU EXPECT ME TO GIVE A LINK.

    You complain about the pixels being too big but you have the tiny thing hella far away from the wall. You should really treat it like a short throw projector and don't put it so far from the wall to make a larger screen area then review it as having a "problem with bad pictures cause the pixels are too big" I give your review a 3/10
    Yeah I reviewed your review you're welcome :)

    Ayy it's better than i expected! It has battery too which is handy! The 240p resolution is a bit of a turn off, but for $15 that's not bad.
    This is a good video! Make more of these cheap gadget videos for poor people like me!

    A good use for this is art projects and holiday light shows. The relatively cheap cost and fidelity in such a small package allows the projector to be versatile and you could easily buy a whole bunch of these to do different effects or visuals. Definitely a cool gadget!

    • @leberkassemmel
      @leberkassemmel 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I tested a full-sized projector before, but they are not that great. The fan get's louder and louder over the years, and it heats the room up like a plasma tv.
      I am thinking about modding a projector to use a LED instead of the bulb, but it is not as easy as it looks on the surface.

    • @pizzaboxer
      @pizzaboxer 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      the reason the fan gets louder is probably because you got some really cheap projector that doesn't even have a fan filter, and replacing the bulb with an LED won't be easy as the LED will certainly not be bright enough.

    I'm Canadian so that would be about $58 😳 hardly the $15 I would prefer to spend.
    And if my experiment works then I may need to buy them in bulk.

    It is AMAZING for 15 dollars, I had one but gave it to a friend. Been looking for another for a year, once in a while one pops up on youtube for 30 bucks, and i just got one. I am looking for more. A projector on your keychain, how amazing is that? It is not to give you a 100 inch screen, it is designed to give you a 3 foot screen in a dark room, or a 12 inch screen if you are sitting by the wall. The nearest pocketable projector will cost you 100 bucks

  • @mrdummy_nl
    @mrdummy_nl 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    The only downside is you cannot use BlueTooth of WiFi. Because it's keychain model, you want use it to show videos from your smartphone. A separate HDMI cable is not very handy idea. You still need big thing to play videos, so the purpose of "portable" is little gone here. Unless you have good mobile HDMI player on battery power. No wireless playback possible.
    Not sure if chromecast will work, because you need seperate USB power from powerpack.

    It looks like it could be fun for movies but useless for pretty much anything else. And the screen on which it's being projected will affect the image. Since it's so cheap, it would be great for kids who want to watch TV or movies projected onto the wall.
