As a tech reviewer who craves immersive entertainment experiences, the TOPTRO TR23 mini projector piqued my curiosity. This little powerhouse promises big-screen thrills, boasting features like 5G WiFi, Bluetooth 5.2, and a whopping 15000 lumens – but can it deliver? Let's dive in and see if the TR23 lives up to the hype.
Unboxing & Design
The TR23 arrives in a sleek, compact box that belies its capabilities. The projector itself is surprisingly lightweight and feels sturdy. The design is minimalist and modern, with a focus on functionality. The included remote and user manual are clear and easy to understand.
Setting Up & Connectivity
Setting up the TR23 is a breeze. It offers multiple connection options, including 5G WiFi, Bluetooth 5.2, HDMI, USB, and even traditional AV ports. The 5G WiFi is a game-changer, providing seamless streaming without lag or buffering. The Bluetooth 5.2 connection is equally impressive, offering a reliable connection for wireless speakers and headphones.
Image Quality & Performance
This is where the TR23 truly shines. Projecting a crisp, clear 1080p image, it delivers exceptional picture quality. Even with the lights on, the 15000 lumens (advertised) provide a surprisingly bright image. While I couldn't verify the exact lumen output with professional equipment, the image was certainly bright enough for most indoor environments. The 4D/4P keystone correction and zoom functionality ensure a perfect rectangle image, even when projecting at an angle.
Sound & Outdoor Capability
The built-in speakers are surprisingly decent for a projector of this size. However, for a truly immersive experience, connecting to external speakers via Bluetooth is recommended. The advertised dust-proof design makes it ideal for outdoor movie nights, but I would recommend using it in a covered patio or area to minimize dust exposure.
Final Verdict
The TOPTRO TR23 mini projector is a fantastic choice for anyone seeking a portable entertainment powerhouse. It offers exceptional picture quality, versatile connectivity options, and a surprisingly durable design. While the advertised 15000 lumen output might be a bit optimistic, the projector is still plenty bright for most situations. The 5G WiFi and Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity make streaming and connecting devices a breeze. Overall, the TR23 is a highly recommended product for movie buffs, gamers, and anyone who wants to take their entertainment to the big screen – wherever they go.
