The M289 is the newest state-of-the-art ultra-portable projector from Miroir. Everything has been thought of on how to create the perfect projector, from its sleek, on-the-go design to its built-in kick-stand and multiple internal fans inside the device so it always stays cool. It weighs less than two pounds and is about the size of an external hard drive, allowing for the device to be carried anywhere, anytime, even in your pocket. The device is eco-friendly, featuring LED bulbs with 400 lumens and a 4k resolution, allowing for a clear, vivid picture and auto-adjusting for perfect picture quality for up to one hundred inches of screen display.

What I love especially about the M289 is how simple and easy it was to use. Right out of the box, all I needed to do was slide the built-in protective lens cap and plug in the video source into the projector, which in total took less than three minutes. It features a wide variety of inputs that allows for practically any media to be hooked up to it, from an Xbox to a Macbook with ease and without any extra adapters. It has an unbelievable battery life of around two hours which charges through the built-in battery and provided USB-C input cable. However, the downfall to this is that the device needs to be plugged in for a few hours for a fully loaded charge.

I tested both the picture and sound quality and was absolutely mesmerized. I projected a wide variety of content, from binge-watching Netflix shows to Powerpoint slides. The vibrant, crisp picture transported me into another world and made me feel like I was actually at the cinema. What really makes the M289 stand out from its competitors is that even as I had extended the screen size and dimensions, the quality never decreased and reduced distortion. Two internal speakers surround the device which resulted in a bold, brassy sound that filled my tiny room and made me get lost into the sound.

For less than $500, the M289 is without a doubt the best projector in its price range. With the perfect mix of straight-forward set-up, phenomenal picture quality, and stupendous sound, the M289 will dazzle consumers for years to come. 9.8/10
