This thing is terrible, as is Beambox’s support.

Delivery was delayed for two weeks while they located a supply of unspecified cables which they had run out of.

Upon receipt I attached the projector to my computer via the supplied USB cable and was met with “USB video - No signal” which despite everything I tried, was the only result I could obtain. Additionally the proprietary software, which was supplied on the projector’s internal memory, caused my Vista PC to suffer a fatal error and required a System Restore. I also tried an XP computer - no joy there either, despite uninstalling and reinstalling the software a few times.

The manual which comes with the unit is a photocopied sheet which is poorly translated from Chinese going by the grammar used and the fact that the software has only two language options - English and Chinese. Beambox do not answer their telephones and their LiveChat is permanently offline. I did finally get an email response from them with the useful suggestion that I ensure the unit was plugged into the computer….

The unit itself is very light but has a noisy fan. The brightness although an advertised 25 lumens is nowhere near this and compares poorly with Optoma projectors of only 10 lumens.

All in all an abysmal effort compounded by poor customer service and I shall
