With the right adapters and possibly a preamp, yes, but it wouldn't be turnkey by any means

This will more than suit your needs. At night it is totally bright, BUT be very careful that the audio out jack meets your requirements if you're using anything but the projector's internal speaker.

Nice smooth white wall along with external surround sound speakers.... set the projector at least 18 ft away to beam anywhere from 90 to 115" projection on wall.

If you google portable movie screen you will find many options as well as prices. My screen looks like a theater screen, and hangs on a metal frame. It's heavy but assembles fairly quickly. The inflatables are easier but require power and make noise. They are lighter and come in basic as well as fun Disney shapes if you have kids. Some screens even float. Sound for me has been the biggest challenge. I went with a sound bar and long cables.

You can use it with a portable screen and the brightness of this equipment surely will be enough to show outdoors

Yes. It will play all night. Also in my review I said the numbers on the overhead display were backwards. You can rotate the display 180 degrees so it shows the time correctly.

I use it all the time for outdoor sporting events and movie viewing with great success. Obviously, you have to wait until dusk for the picture to be bright enough for comfortable viewing. I use with a 132" Outdoor Entertainment Gear screen.

It's not recommended for boardrooms, but gaming and movies are decent in low ambient light. Movie titles and credit's are legible on a 7' x 4' cloth screen at night for backyard movies.

You can hook it up to a DVD player. We start just when the sun goes down. In the dark work's best.

you need to download the you tube app from google play store or Amazon. I watch movies on mine all the time.

When it comes to light in the room this projector is just 'ok'. The blinds/curtains do have to be shut in order to enjoy the movie. But if the room is dark and no light, then the project is really nice. We use the projector at night over the weekends and we love it. We have it hung on the ceiling 16ft away from screen, screen size around 120". This is my first projector.

I suggest getting the flat lens housing. You get better video above and below water and the filters will help with color underwater, lights are really the best though.

I saw a post that says you need to update the firmware for some of the new movies to play including Dark Night.

Netflix, amazon and vudu. With some upgrades you might be able to get pandora

No, I love these things....I am leaving to go camping and swimming again on Thursday and plan to apply on Wednesday night and should be good for the whole weekend. I don't try to go really dark -- just enough to knock off the the blindness. I truly wished I had discovered these years ago as I have spent so much money trying to find the 'ONE' and this is it!!!! Good luck...hope you like them as much as I do.

this is a mini on that sits on top of my night stand so I can watch movies at night.

I use VLC (icon looks like a traffic cone). It's pretty good, don't forget to get the one for bluray.

That is exactly what we use it for, as well as boxing and football games! It's so much fun! Sadly, at only 2000 lumens, it does require darkness. Set-up happens @dusk and shows start after dark(looking forward to changing back to standard time...summer movies start quite late! Next projector I buy will be 3000+ lumens for that reason. It does work wonderfully though, friends are always impressed. One thing to note, sound it a bit lacking so we hook up our Bose Sound Dock for booming sound using "audio out" (RCA cable with headset plug on other end). Hope that's helpful.

I live next to a state park. I have only watched the stars & moon, land animals, and anything on top of the water. If you are talking about underwater, I think it would have to be the clearest of waters.

this should do just fine out doors. You will need to wait for late evening for it to be dark enough, and I have found ambient light to not effect the over all projection quality too much. So porch lights and landscape lighting shouldn't be a problem. You will likely need a separate sound system, unless you have a quiet group of people watching. I would take precautions to be sure it won't be exposed to rain or pool splashes though, there is a lens adjustor and buttons on top of the projector.
