Best praise vs top criticism for TMY Mini Projector
“Fb marketplace is great, but if want new under 150$, the [Timy Mini Projector](https://www.reddit.com/r/ProductsDiscussion/comments/1mgjkcz/best_projectors_under_500_for_travel_movies_home/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) is worth checking. It has ton of reviews and people's expirences, native 1080p and looks clear in dark rooms. Built in speaker is brilliant, and external audio is much better.”
“I bought the same projector, and when I plug in the HDMI cable, it just starts making a glitching and clicking noise, and I'm pretty sure it isn't supposed to do that. And I only bought the TMY projector because the Panseba projector I bought before it did the same thing. Why is it that they both work fine until you plug in HDMI cable in, and then they sound like shit? ”
