BEST HOME THEATER PROJECTOR PORTABLE
Luckily the projector has a headphone port that acts as an audio output, but we opted to connect a laptop to a portable Bluetooth speaker and use that as our audio source instead. They are thin, tinny, harsh, and they blend in with the fan noise. Don’t expect much when it comes to the two 2W built-in speakers we found them basically useless. In general, we would say this projector is not suitable for business situations. The bulb is not very bright, though, and the only way to get a decent projection is in a very dark room. Surprisingly, the projection was nice and clear with decent color and contrast.

We found the setup process simple and quick. We did like the carrying case that came with the projector-it fits everything inside including the cables and remote. At only 4 feet, the power cord is annoyingly short and we had to get an extension cord to use the projector. When adjusting the focus, we noticed that the lens was wobbly and did not fit tightly in the case. While there were certain design features of the Vankyo Leisure 3 we appreciated, we couldn’t help but think that the projector felt and looked like a cheap toy. Resolution: 1920x1080 | Brightness: 2400 lumens | Contrast ratio: 2000:1 | Projection size: 170 inches You can also bypass the built-in speaker by exporting your audio directly from the source device, such as your computer or streaming stick. Fortunately, the Vankyo Leisure 3 has a 3.5mm cable port which allows for a connection to an external speaker. The built-in speaker is unlikely to impress those used to high-quality speaker systems or even a good built-in laptop speaker. The 2,000:1 contrast ratio provides solid picture quality, but the brightness level is surprisingly dimmer than what one would expect from a projector boasting 2,400 lumens. However, the stand is quite small, which means you may need to prop it up on a table or desk with something to get the angle you want. Using the built-in operating system to navigate the settings and options with the included remote is pretty intuitive. It also features SD and USB ports to view media from a card or stick and is very easy to set up, whether connecting a laptop, smart device, or video game console. It comes with its own carry case and HDMI ports, AV, and VGA ports, cables, which means that you won’t need to make any additional connector purchases. The Vankyo Leisure 3 is a solid choice for an affordable projector with all of the usual features.
