The 5-watt mono speaker delivers high quality sound for this class of projector and sufficient volume to easily fill a small conference room or family room.
The built-in audio is good enough that it may be all you need. Beyond that, there's nothing else to set unless you connect a streaming stick, which you can control using the remote it comes with. You can switch between Normal and Eco power modes by pressing both volume buttons at once. The only controls are three buttons on the top for power and for raising and lowering volume. There's no remote, probably because there are no menu settings. If you have to tilt the projector, the automatic keystone correction will square off the image for you. For greater flexibility, buy a tripod separately to take advantage of the tripod mount on the bottom of the projector. The built-in stand can point the projector up a bit if you need to raise the image. As with most small projectors, there is no zoom. For a neater look, you can hide the streaming stick and connectors by threading cables through the hole in the back cover and snapping the cover back on.īeyond that, setup consists of pointing the M189 at whatever you're using for a screen, manually focusing, and positioning the projector at the right distance for the image size you want. Miroir even includes an 8-inch USB-A–to–Micro USB cable. Plug whichever streaming stick you prefer into the HDMI port, and connect it to the USB port for power. It will also let you turn the M189 into a streaming projector. The HDMI port will let you connect most current computers, video sources, phones, and tablets. Removing the back cover reveals a deep recess along with an HDMI port, a USB-A port for power, a 3.5mm stereo audio out port, and the power connector. One reason for the large size is that there's room inside the case to hide a streaming stick as well as cable connectors. (More on brightness and screen size below.)Īt 4.25 by 3.25 by 6.25 inches (HWD) and 3.75 pounds without the AC adapter, the M189 will fit easily in a briefcase or backpack, but it's bigger and heavier than the ViewSonic M1 mini or the Kodak Luma 150, which are small enough to be constant traveling companions.
MIROIR SYNQ PROJECTOR 720P
It will give you a slightly softer focus than a 1080p model, but its brightness rating of 200 LED lumens and 150 ANSI lumens means you're best off using a screen no bigger than 45 diagonal inches, and at that size, the difference between 720p and 1080p isn't very noticeable.
Despite its native 720p resolution, it behaves like a 1080p projector with a maximum 1080p 60Hz input, automatically negotiating connections at 1080p. The M189 pairs a red-green-blue LED light source with a 1280-by-720 DLP chip.
MIROIR SYNQ PROJECTOR PORTABLE
That makes it our new Editors' Choice for a portable streaming projector.
We love its unusually high-quality color accuracy and audio for its size, the ultra-simple setup, and the flexibility of using any streaming service you like. However, its high points more than balance out those drawbacks. It's designed for streaming, but you have to buy your own streaming stick. It's light and has a built-in battery, so it qualifies as a portable projector, but it's bigger than a palmtop and doesn't have a handle. It's easy to use, but lacks automatic or powered focus or adjustable image settings.
MIROIR SYNQ PROJECTOR SERIES
At first glance, the Miroir Synq M189 projector ($349.99) looks like a series of near-misses.
