Laser Portable Gaming Projector Review: Not Ideal
This review delves into the Laser Portable Gaming Projector, a retro gaming projector with an Android OS and built-in games. While it has some appealing features, the projector falls short in several areas, making it a less-than-ideal choice for gamers.
Design and Features
The projector is portable and easy to set up, with a rotating base for wall or ceiling projection. However, its 720p resolution and 300 lumens brightness make it unsuitable for high-quality movie or sports viewing. The included controllers and speakers are cheap and of poor quality, further detracting from the overall experience.
Retro Gaming
The projector's gaming capabilities are limited. It includes 80 built-in games, but many are of poor quality, and the overall selection is not impressive. The included controllers are slow and unresponsive, and the projector struggles with input lag, making it difficult to play classic games like Sonic The Hedgehog or Super Mario World.
Value and Legal Considerations
The projector's value is questionable, as it is priced at $299, which is high for a basic 720p projector. Additionally, the legal implications of using ROMs in Australia are a concern, as it is illegal to create or use ROMs or disc images of copyrighted games.
Conclusion
While the Laser Portable Gaming Projector has some potential, it is not ideal for gamers. The poor quality of the included games, controllers, and speakers, along with the legal issues surrounding ROMs, make it a less-than-ideal choice. It is recommended to consider other options, such as a retro console, for a better gaming experience.
