- Is the Vankyo Leisure 470 good for a first projector?
- Yes, if you accept its limits. It is simple to set up and works well in a dark room, but it is dim and only 720p, so it suits casual viewing rather than a dedicated theater.
- Does it need a dark room?
- Yes. Its output is low, and any daylight or room lighting washes the picture out. Plan on curtains or blinds for daytime use.
- What can I connect to it?
- It has HDMI plus USB and AV inputs, so consoles, streaming sticks, laptops and USB drives work. There is no built-in streaming app store.
- Is the built-in speaker good enough?
- No. Owners call it weak and tinny. Plan on external speakers or a soundbar through the audio output for movie nights.
- Can it play 1080p video?
- It accepts 1080p input but displays at native 720p, so the image is scaled down. It will not look as sharp as a native 1080p projector.
- How big a screen can it throw?
- It can fill a wall-sized image, but the picture gets softer and dimmer as the screen grows. A moderate screen size in a dark room looks best.
