"This was definitely worth the money. The picture is so clear," raved a delighted Walmart shopper. "And it shows pretty decent even in the daytime with a little too much light. I connected it to a Roku streamer and it works perfectly. The set up was pretty easy. I like that...I was worried it would be a little complicated to use. If I need one for a second room, I'll definitely get this one again."
The Vankyo Leisure 410 Mini HD Digital Projector even comes with a handy carrying case.
