Can it be used for watching movies in the backyard? I know it advertises it, but I'd like to know how well it works.

I think it will not be bright enough to enjoy.The Image is not clear if it is projected to more than 6 feet.

This projector is not a good quality projector. Perhaps, it's good for its size. But I would only use for temporary solution or for convenience, like when you travel and you don't want to carry a large projector. If you intend to use a projector for watching movies regularly at home, then I suggest you get a higher quality projector.

Yes, it can. Streaming movies through it over WiFi causes frequent buffering, however all 4TB content is visible.

Although I did try it at work in a good sized building with a metal roof, I say not great. I can't say how it would work outdoors and I haven't tried it in the house, I own two and I mainly use it for Bluetooth on my Iphone.

It needs to be up against a wall to work well. If you can use it this way it will work well for video games and TV watching.

It does get load more than you would think. I think it would be great for a backyard party. It might be pushing it for being on the beach though. That's just my opinion. It does have great clear sound.

I think it serves well for a small group say 30 people in a small area. I did not have chance to use it for outdoor movies; however, I used it for a Karaoke event and it worked well. However, if you turn to volume knot over 1/2, you may have some feed back on microphone. For stereo music out put, I think it works better.

Yes, it totally works outdoors, and is especially good when it hits the side of a building. We've used it in our back yard with no problems - about 15ft from the speaker to the unit - and it picked up the music with no problems. In terms of visible range, we've also used it inside in a middle school gym, and the lights reached the ceiling and walls easily. Hope this helps.

Picture quality is awesome. However- not sure about your setup, but a short throw doesn't make much sense for an outdoor projector. Also not sure about brightness for outdoors, since there tends to be a lot of light outside that you can't control. Probably safer to look elsewhere.

That's what I use it for. It works great and the extended length makes it easy to watch movies while laying in bed :)

mine works well, the problem i found it is very noisy, i can hear the fen working so it is better for outside or using good speakers, the resolution is not too good either so if u need very detailed image i think u need domething better, but it is the cheapest so if u want something better u should spend at least 500. when i recently bought it i was unhappy because it is hard to project in canvas the reason it is hard it is because you will have to move the projector to get the desired size. all functions work well but i found that i can use lycra and then i made a lycra screen and then i invert the image in the projector and i like it on this way. i hope it helped you

We set it up outside for our outdoor movie nights and it works great! Lots of raves from all our friends and neighbors! The speakers are not loud enough though, so we added a nice Klipsch set that is sold for computers. (2 speakers and a sub-woofer)

Yes! its Great for projecting movies, that's the reason i bought it in the first place, I projected it on a wall at a friends yard and it looked great thank even though no screen wad used, lights off of course, I don't regret buying this projector at all! :) hope this helps.

Yes, it works for movies outdoors. We did it and it was good. BUT it's got to be really dark (only 500 Lumens!) and the speaker is very tinny. There's no plug to connect an amplifier or external speakers.

Absolutely! I used this last summer for outdoor movies during the evening projecting on just the light color siding of the house. The picture was great over 12' maybe 15 feet. This year I purchased a 12' screen but set it up once. I was able to make the image small or beyond the 12' for a good video. I now use this daily in my master bedroom projector which is about 70". Even during the day indoors it is still good.

I have no regrets! For movies in the backyard where there are sometimes 20 people or more, this screen is FANTASTIC!

I think this would work fine for playing movies outdoors. I use it mostly for Zumba (indoors), but I have used it outdoors and it still plenty loud. I connect to my laptop. You just need a aux cable (not included). It is kind of heavy, so if you have to carry it long distances, I would pick up a luggage cart so you can pull it.
