Usability

Image Quality… Surprisingly Good

It was surprisingly clear even when I brought it closer!
Although the resolution is 720p, I thought it would be blurry if I projected it large, but it was surprisingly clear and I was surprised!

I was also able to connect my smartphone and project this site.

Sound Quality… Fine for watching YouTube, etc.

The sound quality is not great for music listening, but it is perfectly fine for watching videos on YouTube, etc.

Also, the maximum volume is reasonably loud, and unless the room is particularly large, I think you can use it alone.

However, the sound quality is not good enough for those who want to enjoy the immersive sound of movies.

Can also be used as a Bluetooth speaker

Like this, you can use it as a Bluetooth speaker.

No Battery…

One of the advantages of this projector is that it is small, but it always requires a power connection, which negates that advantage.

Of course, because it is small, it is easy to carry around and does not take up much space, but it would be more versatile if it had a battery.

Manufacturer’s Reliability

As you can see in this article, ETOE is a manufacturer that actually develops projectors.

When I researched the manufacturers selling projectors in the same price range on Amazon, many of them didn’t even have a website or clear origins.

As with mobile battery and earphone review articles, it is always important to buy from a manufacturer with at least some credibility.

Compared to other manufacturers in the same price range, ETOE has a website and releases a variety of projectors, so it is relatively reliable.

And as mentioned earlier, you can return, refund, exchange, or repair the product for free within 30 days, and there is a 12-month manufacturer’s warranty, which is highly appreciated.

Minimal Settings + Ready to Use Immediately

I was able to watch YouTube and other videos immediately after setting up the Wi-Fi.

YouTube, Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video, and Spotify were pre-installed.

Hulu can also be added from the app store.

Automatic Keystone Correction Included

As you can see, automatic correction is available.

You can also adjust settings such as automatic shutdown and screen saver.

Remote Control is Difficult to Respond

This was a point that bothered me personally. I don’t know if it’s infrared or communication, but it just doesn’t respond.

The settings screen is displayed on the screen, so it’s quite troublesome.

I received a supplement about the remote control from the manufacturer.
There is a receiving point on the back of the projector, so communication is more stable if you aim the remote control at the back of the unit.

Review Summary

Recommended for those who want to buy a projector with a limited budget!

The “ETOE D1 EVO” is excellent in terms of cost-performance and peace of mind
It supports the features you want in a projector, such as automatic keystone correction, and is well-made in detail.
It is often the case that cheap products like this are made by unscrupulous manufacturers and are difficult to purchase with confidence, but this “ETOE D1 EVO” has more reliability than manufacturers in the same price range, and comes with a warranty.

If you have a limited budget of less than 20,000 yen, or if you are trying a projector for the first time, this is a projector I highly recommend!
