Egate K9 HD with Free Amazon Fire TV Stick, FHD 1080 Support & 720p Native, 4000 Lumens LED 390 ANSI Home Cinema Projector, 180" max Screen (457 cm) | (E09k61) (Black)

I decided to hurriedly buy a replacement in projector when my previous one suddenly developed an issue. After some careful analysis of specs and customer reviews I decided to pick this one up.I must say I have not been disappointed. Although not exactly a short throw projector it can still create a pretty big screen if you can keep it just about 9 feet away. Picture quality has a pop to it that makes the images crackle. The colors almost sizzle and the brightness of the projected screen is just beautiful. In fact brightness is good enough for you to watch a movie even in the daytime as long as you have light curtains on the window. Although it is a HD projector (and not full HD) but the picture quality is pretty detailed. Even the 5w box speakers produce better sound than most other integrated speakers that come with other projectors. The projector by itself is quite compact and lightweight. Build quality is much better than a few others that are housed in cheap plastic boxes. And of course the cooling fans are much lesser in decibels (=low noise) as compared to most other projectors in this class. This can make a lot of difference when you are in a small room and sit close to the projector.So then is it all hunky dory? Well there are some minor issues but they may not exactly be the deal breakers. Nonetheless, you must consider these before making a decision.First of all, compared to my previous projector, this one has a bigger edge distortion/focusing issue. While most cheaper projectors have this issue this one may have it a little more. Particularly if you are using the central leveling screw to raise the projector a bit. As I figured out unlike my previous projector this one needs to be kept at some sizable height and limit the use of the leveling screw to the least extent. That coupled with some minor keystone adjustment reduces the issue significantly.This is basically the visitek projector rebranded as egate. As such the only difference is that you have an indian brand name now to back this up. Does that make a difference? Im not sure. From my research on the net I felt that in case you ever run into an issue in future egate may not be there in all indian cities. However, i would still pay for a brand that has at least some india connection. Hopefully egate will grow and have better service presence in other major indian cities with time.Other than the above 2 issues another small point to note is that while you get 2 HDMI ports with this projector the number of USB ports is only limited to 1. This could be a problem if you run a chromecast or a Fire Stick and that draws power from the USB port. If you ever want to connect a pendrive or any other USB based storage then you will need to take the Firestick off its power source. Not a very big problem but it is nonetheless a minor hassle.My final take: buy the K9 with eyes closed. At 10.5k things cant get any better. Its an amazing little thing punching way beyond its weight category.

Good

I am using this non-android product for almost 1 week and here is my review of this productPros:-1. picture quality is good but not the best2. compact design and you can carry easily in your bag3. projection screen is good, colour, contrast combination is good.Cons:-1. connectivity ports need up-gradation, at least USB 3.0 2nos. ports.2. ket stone adjustment should be given 4D instead of 2D3. focus quality need improvement4. if you are watching videos from a long distance (>100 inches) the screen quality getting poor5. no HDMI cord providedConsidering it is a budget projector, and the product EGATE is selling is comendable.

I have been using this projector for around 2 months now ,everyday about 2-3 hours.This is my 1st projector, well I bought a unic projector 2 years back ,but returned it due to to worst picture quality.Coming to the review, the picture quality is decent, I project it on a wall , screen size about 90 inches, viewing distance about 7 feet. I watch only hd content from prime,netflix hotstar etc. And I am happy with the picture quality for the price of the projector.It does require almost complete dark room. With ambient light , you can't see much.But I can't expect much from this price range. I bought the basic model, without any extra features, which means less problems to deal with. And till now I feel the decision was right. Haven't faced a single problem yet. If you're a enthusiastic, then stay away ,you will regret it.The picture I have uploaded are little blurred due to my phone camera is not focusing properly. The real picture quality is little better

I have been using this projector for more than a year now. The picture is bright and crisp. With proper keystone adjustment, the edges can be kept almost blur-free. I use a 120 inch white screen, and the color reproduction is fantastic. The build of the projector is quite good, with a removable dust filter. The noise of the fan is very low, and is easily drowned by the sound of the movie/video. The in-built sound is loud and impressive, and is not bad at all. Still I would recommend a mini sound system which can be connected to the projector with a 3.5 mm audio jack. Always use the HDMI port for best video output (720p and above).Coming to the after-sales service: This is one of greatest worries while buying a projector. Since these are costly items, good after-sales service is a must. Fortunately, Egate does what it promises. At about 11 months of rigorous use, there was a small pink tinge in the lower corner of the screen. I called up the Egate customer care. They were very prompt at responding. They arranged for a pickup from my home, and the pickup was done the very next day. Within 10 days, they repaired my projector and sent it to my home through Blue Dart. The service was really quick and efficient, and deserves a 5 star.Finally, it must be said that compared to the other brands in Amazon, Egate projectors offer an excellent value for money, because they ensure good quality at a relatively cheaper price with dependable after-sales service.This is my second projector from Egate, and I have been using them since five years. Would definitely suggest to go for this company.
