great project that has sufficiently high resolution. I love the ability to set it up on the back side to cast videos on our ceiling on battery power. It one of the main reasons I was drawn to this projector. I like how a streaming stick can used and tucked away – it appears the design of this projector was intended for this kind of thing. I’m ok with no dedicated remote because we use the streaming sticks remote (fire TV stick), but I was not able to get the that remote to “sync” with the projector for volume control. Changing the volume then becomes a minor inconvenience. The little cover as a bit hard to finagle but otherwise I really like it and no regrets with the purchase, despite the rather high price.

Works great. I highly recommend this to anyone looking to start off with a mini projector. Only downside I would say a that it needs to be almost really dark for it to be visible.

Wow! Seriously, an Owen Wilson WOW! The Miroir SYNQ 720p has blown me away. I am use to portable projectors being huge but not this. It’s shorter than a bottle of Dasani (see picture). The photos on Best Buy don’t do justice to how small and portable the Miroir SYNQ 720p.
I have never heard of Miroir before getting this projector but I am impressed with what they have done. Picture quality is amazing. Even in a well lit room. I was able to get the promised 80″+ picture size with no distortion or artifacts. I would recommend you use a trip to get the best position for your home theater night. Yes, the Miroir SYNQ 720p includes a mount for a standard tripod. FYI, there’s a little front foot stand for more business-like purposes.
The Miroir SYNQ promises 720p output. I managed to get 1080p on my Roku. See photo. I don’t know if I just got lucky or what but the 1080p output was flawless and I ran the test a few times. Even at 720p there have been no complaints on picture quality. The Miroir SYNQ 720p auto keystones – making sure your picture is a proper rectangle. Focus is manual using a dial on the side and there was no issue quickly getting focus.
Audio quality from the inbuilt speaker is pretty impressive and packs a decent punch. There is an audio out cable if you want to plug in external audio. The Miroir SYNQ 720p doesn’t have bluetooth put you could pick up a Bluetooth transmitter) if you wanted to connect it to your home theater (the sort of dongle that plugs into the audio jack.
One of the things I love about the Miroir SYNQ 720p is that they haven’t added any other software. It’s designed to be used with a streaming stick. LOVE this because you don’t end up with a device with unsupported software, the Miroir SYNQ 720p is basically as up to date as whatever USB stick you put in the back. Design wise, Miroir have made it so the streaming stick all packs in neatly under the cover giving everything a completely cordless look (see photo). The cover then clips in place and you have a compact unit you can take anywhere. I can fit my Roku easily under the cover and I am confident the projector would have no issue with a Chromecast.
I haven’t even mentioned yet that the Miroir SYNQ 720p also runs on battery as well as external power. On battery with audio on I was able to get a full movie (Spider Man Far From Home) with no low battery issues. FYI there’s no brightness adjustment. I don’t think the Miroir SYNQ 720p auto adjusts brightness, it seems to have one standard setting but it’s always perfect even in daylight with lights on.
What’s in the box.
– Miroir SYNQ 720p
– power cable
– short HDMI cable
My only wish and (I didn’t deduct any stars) is that they also included a carry case).
There’s so much to be impressed with on the Miroir SYNQ 720p. Seriously you don’t need to over think this. It’s a perfect portable DLB projector and the best value I have seen in a long time. I would never consider any other projector again..

So I realized I am a snob when it comes to numbers. I read 720p and I’m thinking, “oh, that’s not so great, almost unusable” But i was dead wrong. I love this thing. I found a wall big enough to have the entire 80″ available and put a football game on, it was awesome. Now all I need is a portable screen and i’ll never have to deal with the tiny 40″ TV at my parent in laws again (It’s in a giant room to be fair)!
This isn’t the brightest project, but it’s also by far not the least bright, 200 lumens is better than I figured it would be, I’m used to looking at 5000 lumens or greater for projects at work. So if you are planning on using this in a fully lite classroom type of room, it probably isn’t the one you want. In home lighting it works pretty decent and if you turn off a few lights it looks absolutely awesome. I’ll include some pictures to hopefully show the difference but i’m not sure how good they’ll show the difference. The speakers on this are decent, definitely loud but not full. They work in a pinch or for general taking like YouTube videos. I plugged a chromecast into the back and that is a pretty awesome setup, I even mounted it on a camera tripod (it has the screw hole thing) which worked even better as it kept it out of reach of my crawler. The inputs include a DC input (wish they would’ve had a usb c charger instead) , usb, audio jack, and hdmi port. And yes the chromecast works perfectly being powered off of that usb. Another nice feature is, besides needing to be lined up to where you want the image, it figures the rest out; so there are only e buttons: power, volume up, and volume down. and the focus scroll of course I couldn’t ask for something better.
Pros:
Self correcting image
Battery powered (lasts several hours)
Can mount on a camera tri-pod
80″ image is clear
small but sturdy
can run all day without crashing
Speakers are loud
Cons
Charger isn’t USB C
Speakers can be tinny at full volume.
Overall I love this device and would recommend this without reservation.

I really wanted a portable projector for the longest time. The Miroir SYNQ projector did not disappoint!
The unboxing experience was pleasant. It came with a power adapter and an HDMI cable. The first thing that I noticed was how small it was. It really is small. I was really curious as to what kind of image such a small projector could make. More on that later. The design is really simple. It has three buttons on the top, a power button and two volume buttons. There is a focus dial on the side. If you remove the back/bottom panel, you will see the charger port, a reset button, an audio out, HDMI, and USB port. There is a front stand that you can pop out to get a better angle. This foot stand was really unnecessarily hard to pop out.
I really think that this is an understated design. It is designed so that you can plug in a streaming stick for a truly wireless experience. I plugged in my Chromecast to the HDMI and powered it using the USB. Once you put the panel back on, you have a portable and wireless media device.
Now on to the picture quality. This thing is absolutely amazing. I am amazed with the picture quality. The 720p picture is crisp. The focus is manual using the dial. There is an auto keystone function, meaning it will make sure that your picture is a rectangle no matter the angle that you put the projector. This function wasn’t perfect. Sometimes it was annoying as it took more than a couple tries to get it to work. Now the biggest weakness is the brightness. At only 200 lumens, it doesn’t hold its own in a well-lit room. In a dark room, the picture was perfect. I was able to get the 80” picture but I preferred the crispness and brightness with smaller picture sizes.
The audio quality is simply amazing. I was not expecting much but it completely exceeded expectations. It was loud enough that I did not feel I needed an external audio source.
Battery life was great. I got around the advertised 3 hours. It charged pretty quickly. You can also use it with the power adapter plugged in. There was no difference in brightness and picture quality when it is plugged in vs. battery power.
They really cut out a lot of things with this projector. There are not really any settings that you can control outside of the volume. No brightness, contrast, mode, and sharpness adjustments. It really is plug in streaming stick/HDMI and play. You get what you see. That may be a deal breaker for some.
Pros:
Small and portable
Design allows streaming stick to be unseen
Good picture quality
Auto-keystone
Good audio quality that can get loud
Good battery life
Cons
Low brightness
No controllable settings
All in all, there is a lot to like with this projector. It has a great design that allows for a truly wireless and portable experience without any sticks or ports sticking out. With a lot of options out there, I really think the Miroir M189 holds its own.

This little puppy is a gem! Good brightness, clear picture. Auto keystone. For a road warrior that has to present in various venues this is a great little ‘tool’ that sets up easy, throws a descent amount of light, and the sound is pretty good. Remember it’s not a Home Theater Projector, but the display is pretty darn good. Perfect for those PP presentations. After the work is done you can stream your favorite shows on any flat lightly covered surface. I was able to expand out to 84″ diagonal with great results. After that it seemed you loose in brightness and clarity more than you gain. I was able to get roughly 2 hrs 22 min on the first full charge. Attached photo for reference; display size is 84 inches on a 120 inch screen.

Let me start of my saying that this is an amazing little projector. It packs a punch in both sound and picture quality. Honestly when i first received the projector i was not expecting much from the little guy, but it surprised me. The sound quality on this projector is amazing. We had to turn the sound down a couple of time because of how loud it got at times. The sound quality is crisp and clear, so for sound two thumbs up. Now, the picture quality for a 720p projector is not bad at all. i hooked up the projector at my brothers house who didnt have a screen to project on so we just used his basement wall as you can see in the photo, and you know what i was truly impressed. i honestly love this projector and would recommend it.

The key word here is portable.This little device can provide up to 3hrs of use per full charge, but can also be left plugged in for longer viewings. The 200 lumens is just good enough to still be able to be seen in a lit room, but best viewed in low to no light situations.The native resolution is 720p , but can still handle inputs of up to 1080p. There are no built in wireless features for this projector, so the only type of input is through the single HDMI port.However, you can plug in virtually any kind of streaming device to provide the wireless features, like screen mirroring and video casting. There is one USB input, to provide power to the streaming device( The USB port is not capable of being used as an input).The projector is actually pretty good at displaying a proportionate image at any screen size up to 80″. I have included pictures of the same image at different screen sizes. The pictures show virtually no difference in quality. Because the native resolution is only 720p, small letters and tiny details seem a little blurry, no matter the focus, but the overall picture is very acceptable, especially for such a small portable device. The sound is even quite good. It sounds just as good as a full size tv, no complaints there.
Automatic features include screen size and keystoning. The projector auto fits the screen size based on the distance the projector is from the wall or screen used. Keystoning is more of a skew correction feature. When a projector is not lined up perfectly perpendicular with it’s media or screen, the resulting image is skewed at the top or bottom of the image, creating a trapezoid of the viewing images. Automatic keystone features correct this distortion usually through software, and returns the image to a rectangle. This works pretty good on this projector under normal angles, but exaggerated angles will still result in a skewed image.
To get any desired screen size, just place the projector the screen size desired plus approximately 10 added inches away from the media. For example if you want the 80″ image, place the projector about 90″ from your screen or wall.
The display is actually DLP technology ( Digital Light Processor), which has some advantages over other display technologies. They usually have better contrast and color retention, and require less maintenance, and better suited for portable designs. The light source on this projector is actually LED which overcomes the short bulb life of typical DLP projectors, and provides an estimated 20,000 hours of use (10x that of older DLPs).
Overall this is a very good portable projector,( if the resolution was just a little higher, it would have been perfect). There are a lot of other options out there for non-portable designs with greater lumens, higher definitions, and better features, but for the price and purpose of this projector it really is a great choice.
