TRUTH OVER HYPE

Mini Projector

This Temu product was featured on the Monster Review channel. Its appearance here does not mean it earned Monster Approved.

I was this close to titling this "This thing is complete trash." But when you step back and re-evaluate what $10 actually buys you, I can't even stay mad at it. Let's be real: it doesn't work if there’s even a sliver of ambient light in the room. Hell, it barely works in total darkness. But at the end of the day, it does technically project an image. I passed it off to my kids—they pull it out occasionally, though they usually prefer watching a real TV. For ten bucks, it serves a super niche purpose. Just do yourself a favor and ignore those viral TikTok videos showing a crisp, bright picture. They're total clickbait! Creators are setting up legit projectors off-camera and pretending the image is coming from this $10 toy.
