Is 200 ANSI lumens bright enough?

Only in a dark or heavily dimmed room. In daylight or with lamps on, the image will look washed out. Plan on curtains closed for movies.

What resolution does it actually project?

Native 720p HD. It accepts HD sources over HDMI but does not display true 1080p detail.

How big an image can I get?

From 30 to 200 inches, depending on distance. It throws from 1 to 5 meters, so a 100-inch image needs a few meters of space.

Can I connect a phone or streaming stick?

Yes, through HDMI, USB or microSD. There is no Wi-Fi or Bluetooth listed, so a streaming stick or cable is the usual route.

Does it have a battery?

No battery is listed, so it needs a power outlet. That limits true portable use to places with power.

Is it good for gaming?

Casual console play over HDMI works, but the 720p image and 36dB fan suit slow games better than fast competitive ones.

Our take on the Miroir Mini Projector

The Miroir Mini Projector is a compact 720p HD projector rated at 200 ANSI lumens with a 5000:1 contrast ratio. It throws a 30- to 200-inch image from 1 to 5 meters and runs a 30,000-hour lamp with a 5W speaker. Connectivity covers HDMI, USB, microSD and a 3.5mm jack, so phones, laptops and sticks can plug in directly. At 200 lumens it is a dim-room projector, not a daylight one.
