Is XGA resolution enough for presentations?

Yes for slides, spreadsheets and text at moderate screen sizes. It is not sharp enough for detailed HD video or fine small print.

How close can it sit to the screen?

The short-throw lens can project from about 2.5 feet and up to roughly 12 feet. That lets it sit near the wall and keep the presenter out of the beam.

Does it work with a laptop or streaming stick?

Yes. Two HDMI 1.4 inputs accept laptops, media players and streaming sticks, and a 3.5mm output feeds external speakers.

Is it good for a bright room?

Yes. At 4,000 lumens it is brighter than most budget projectors and stays readable with some ambient light.

Does it support 3D or HDR?

No. It has no 3D and no HDR, and HDMI 1.4 means some HDCP 2.2 sources will not play protected 4K content.

What comes in the box?

A remote control is included along with the projector. Cables and mounting hardware are usually sold separately.
