My 65" 4k TV broke down, and found this in a cupboard. Bought it well over 9-10 years ago. And, it still works. With a total dark room, changed settings on colour it still shows a "decent", watchable 50 inch picture if the source is HD.
@@Nate-wu8rr thanks for sharing that! My son has gone through his 3rd tv. So I had to go cheap. Lol and I don’t plan on putting up my new tv until I get a screen protector for it! Lol
OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO I WOULD NEVER HAVE FOUND OUT HOW TO CHANGE THE SCREEN SIZE YOU ARE AWESOME KEEP DOING THE GREAT WORK YOU DO AND AGAIN THANK YOU
I think it's going to be fine for my purposes. I intend to use them outside to project ghost holograms on pumpkins or as a rear projection on semi opaque material.
These are actually pretty good and do a real good job at holiday decorating. I converted some mp4's, but they had to have a transcoded audio stream since these are AC3 clueless. These also have a usb flash max size and you literally have to select the flash input after you insert it. Using the flash did create more heat since the cpu had to do all the work unlike a wired signal feed. I used one of these to play a game cube era game on a highly reflective surface(back of a poster) above my bed and it looked pretty good. 16x9 should just not be used on this in my opinion. Most of the color problem is caused by bad and unbalanced white light. Cool white leds tend to be more blue and don't allow for true reds. Some reds tend to be purplish pink; while the greys and whites look have a blue tint.. That is the case for most all none major brand led projectors, although the Unic UC80 has a RGB led array that does a pretty fair job. Most leds can't compare to mercury lamps, or the old rgb crt projection sources for a balanced light spectrum yet. I set mine by reducing the blue by half and increase the brightness and contrast higher or lower. I then increase the color. With some inputs you can't change more than that. As each input allows for different settings so adjust for each one used. It also helps to have an accurate rgb test pattern and test images. Also be aware that their are clones out their. A true Unic will have the IR sensor in the middle rear. They should never be used as a charger and should not be powered by the USB either, or should you apply more than the stated voltage. I say that because I have repaired some that people fried by doing things like that. In case people ask UC28+ means with hdmi.
Me ha ayudado mucho tu video, compré este proyector en linea y quería saber qué esperar de él. Creo que por el bajo precio que pagué fue una buena inversión.
Projectors like these are pretty good for tv shows or many youtube videos and in dark rooms. Watching movies with it will give a low experience because they only use little more than half of the pixels in height. This projector has a native resolution of 320x240 pixel on a 4:3 aspect ratio lcd screen. Widescreen movies use approximately 130 to 160 vertical pixels which looks very blurry when projecting from a greater distance. But 25 $ is very cheap and worth a try. I am using a similar model from another manufacturer and i project fractal animations, fireplaces and the like as an ambient light on my walls.
I bought the same one off wish when it's plugged in and I turn it on it clicks on the projector light turns on then turns right back off.. What do I do? Is that normal? I can't seem to get it to display display my phone either. Please help!
I also bought one last Halloween. I use it to display singing pumpkins from Atmosfx. It's perfect for the price. I paid more for the pumpkins and Hay. LOL
Is this model UC28+ or UC28 ? Thanks for the review. Can it accept micro SD card? Is the video resolution only 320 x 280 ? Whats the max size of screen it can produce clearly?
When you connect this projector to a laptop either via HDMI cable or vga cable, just select input from the remote or by pressing the hard keys on the projector itself. Then select HDMI if you're using HDMI & select PC input if you're using vga!! I have done a lot of experiment will this projector or its other version. I'll have to check which one I have. My suggestion is that this projector works wonders when connected to PC (having a graphic card) via Vga cable rather than connecting it with HDMI as in HDMI the colors become dark. In VGA, it looks almost similar to the one you see it on monitor. You need to tweak the settings to get the optimum output, like increasing the brightness, color, etc. I am using it since many years and have used almost daily in this lock down. I have a extremely light blue big wall and according to the distance in my hall, the projection that I get is 82" in 4:3, which is much bigger and better than cenema scope 16:9. It looks massive and we enjoy just like a theatre. PS- I STILL HAVE TO CONFIRM WHICH VERSION I HAVE. AS BY THE LOOKS OF IT, IT'S THE SAME. But my version has native resolution of 320 x 240 but it supports HD format. So I have played Pacific Rim blueray movie which is around 2Gb of the file. It's looks crazy. The details and everything is seen. I am sure if a suitable screen is added it'll be much crazier. 😍😍😍🤩 As far as the settings i remember for 82" screen: Brightness - 60-70 (if you increase it further, it'll have a whitish layer on the picture) Contrast around 44 - 55 ( play around with it till you get a difference between snow and sky) Color - 80 ( i have pushed it to 90 as that i found suitable for an 82" screen) Sharpness - 55- 60.. ( you can play arnd with it.) NOTE: I have noticed that the Usb and other modes of direct play USELESS (NOT CHECKED THE SD CARD ADAPTER) as the onboard software for processing a movie or a picture file is not good & hence i suggest connect a PC. But still I'll try to check tweaking the settings and see if i can adjust and correct the settings. 😊 Also, if there are any pixels visible.. you can try focusing out minutely.. Please Do let me know what settings and display size you're using.?
This is literally half the price of Christmas projectors that usually only project 1 pre-set image. Those are running about $40, If you're lucky you can one that projects a dozen images between a dozen holidays, lol, or something like that. Anyway, Thanks Again, 4 Sharing!
I‘ve bought this projector in italy at the market but I didnt get a remote with it and now idk how to use it. Is it possible to use it without the remote?
I got one of these, I thought the resolution wouldn't be an issue if I use low res sources but the AV input is junk. It can't sync and has thick static lines across the screen.
I just want to display pictures of an audience along a garage door. Do you need a computer for this? Can you save pictures on a card and just use that or does it have to be hooked to a computer ?
I bought last year for doing a Halloween scene. For the price it works okay for that. The resolution is bad, really dim (which works for Halloween) and I can use the USB or the card slot for the movie I run. It has a repeat setting so I just set that and leave it running. I only use it as an effects projector. It's kind of useless for anything else.
exactly what I'm looking to do. This video stated that he had to have it 40" something away to produce a 19" viewing window. Did you need to place the unit very far away to achieve your effects?
How to connect this projector with mobile to watch TH-cam videos directly. Please tell me. I have this projector but don't know how to connect with my mobile directly.
mine doesnt even start anymore .... its boots up the fan and the status small led on top and thats all, if I keep pressing the ON/OFF button from the remote and/or the projector, nothing happens ... please help, it worked once but I don't remember how I did it ... please explain step by step very detailed so I can see if I am doing something wrong ... thank you for any help given. Peace !
+evoGage it's really a lot better once you adjust the sharpness and contrast and custom colours but yeah it's still a $25 projector at the end of the day. Better for projecting scary scenes during Halloween than an everyday media projector.
thanks for the video - do you know if this projector has any firmware updates on the world wide web anywhere at all - yep i am having trouble getting it to play off SD cards too - only cost something like 25euro , cannot expect too much and brilliant sharp pictures for that price i suppose :)
+TryThisJ because it's LED I think it will last a long long time and I've seen replacements on eBay. Although at this price I'm not sure if you'd bother repairing it by the time it finally breaks.
Gadget Addict good point mate..well i reckon with good settings and right ambience, this will do for most. Especially at that price. Great review once again!
I think I turned sharpness to 0 and then just played with brightness and contrast until it looked best. But the most important thing was to turn sharpness to 0.

Isn't this the one with a 320x240 native resolution? Would've been better to spend a little more for the UC40 which has a usable 800x480 native res.

what is your setting
I don't remember the exact settings but the first thing to do is turn sharpness down to 0. Then tweak the rest :)
