The picture quality was great! Nice and bright, good color. Even looked good in a room that was lit, but if using outside it needs to at least be dusk. Direct sunlight means you can't see the picture.
Sound was good. It was plenty loud enough, but I would recommend using speakers if you are looking for really high quality sound. In my opinion, the sound was good enough and I have never opted to use speakers.
The menu is clear and the buttons on the projector as well as the remote are simple to use.
The only concern I've had is that it seems to get somewhat warm after a couple hours of use. The fan works well to cool it and isn't very loud. Not sure that the warmth is actually concerning, but I just like to be sure and turn it off if I'm not actively using it.
It works good real well with my firestick and is easy to get started.
The only down side is that to use the remote you have to point it at the front of the projector. I didn't think this would be an issue, but sometimes in order to have the screen the size I need it to be I have...

ThoughtGardenThoughtGarden: We purchased this projector with three intent that it would be a great way to have our family over for some fun quality time while still being able to observe social distancing (for those of us not in the same household).
We have not been disappointed.
We use this outside every weekend, and it has performed very well without issue.
I also purchased a 120" screen to hang on our fence, and this projector pairs very well with it (see photos for reference).
The device seems well-built, with the usual adjustments allowing for focus and keystone alignment on the lens.
Connection-wise, 2 USBs, 2 HDMIs, 1/8 audio out work great. We bought a Roku stick so we can stream virtually whatever want without having to worry about connecting a Blu-ray, etc. The Roku is powered by the USBs on the back of the unit.
The speakers in the projector are predictably mediocre; they were not designed to sound robust, or to fill a room with sound. However, using a 1/8 patch cable with splitter enable us to use multiple speakers placed throughout the yard for immersive sound for all viewers. Our 300w Sony Bluetooth speaker also works well when connected via wire (this...

Luke: The key here is this is a five-star projector FOR TWO HUNDRED BUCKS. If you expect something to wow you in your home theater you'll be really disappointed.
As a first-time projector buyer I really had to learn the ropes as far as what this projector is and isn't.
Image quality:
I can play games, movies, or even plug it into my PC and easily do any work on it. It is bright as advertised, but you will want generally a room with windows closed and lights off. Even with lights on in my room I can read the projector screen but there's no way I'd watch a movie like that. The colors and contrast are really lacking. Comparing it side by side to an entry-level asus 24 inch monitor I can notice so many more shades of color on the asus than goodee. And if you try to artificially mess with any of the settings it only ends up looking worse. For example in a dark show you really can't see much but if you adjust the brightness too much up then it blows out the whites. Certain colors like reds and greens do look fairly ugly when they are of subtle hues because the screen kind of blends them together.
All that said movies are definitely watchable and FOR THE PRICE a great...
