I get one of these for father day this year . we have be use it 2 - 3x 's per week for movie night since . we find the picture quality to be good -lrb- we be project on a 8 ' W x 5 ' h screen from a distance of about 17 foot -rrb- . we hook up some wireless speaker to create a ` surround sound ' effect & it feel like we be at the theater ! my only issue be : the unit be pretty hot after watch a full movie -lrb- you can still touch it but the heat be considerable -rrb- ; Battery life will not get you through a full movie - so we end up use the adapter only . I would definitely suggest this to a friend -lrb- in fact my brother-in-law be pick one up -rrb- .
