When it comes to consuming movies at home, nothing beats a good television. While watching videos on your phone or on a tablet or laptop might also suffice, it's just not the same as watching something on a big screen on the couch with your family or friends.
However, television has some limitations. Mainly, if you buy a TV of a specific size, you're stuck with that size. Also, TVs aren't exactly portable, and you don't always have a place to put them. This is where the spotlight comes in. Projectors like the YABER Pro V7 can project video onto any wall in your home and the image size can change depending on the available space.

I know you might be thinking you've never heard of the YABER brand before, but they've been around since 2016 and have been offering 1080p projectors since 2017. They've also sold over a million projectors worldwide since 2016, so they're not exactly new to the world of projectors.
SummarySpecifications
The YABER Pro V7 an interesting choice for those looking for a good affordable projector. One of the main selling points is that the Pro V7 offers native 1080p resolution. This means you'll get a sharper, more detailed image than comparable 720p projectors. You also get a projector with an ultra-high brightness of 9000L, which seems to be quite high for a projector in this price range.
Other standout features include what YABER calls 6D Auto Keystone Correction, which allows the projector to automatically adjust for angle and tilt. There's also a digital zoom feature that can reduce image size by up to 50% if needed, so you no longer need to size the image based on distance from the projector.
You also get a dual-band WiFi mirroring feature for Android and iOS devices. No more hassle with cables and the YABER Pro V7 supports other Miracast-enabled devices.

Two USB ports are also available for powering devices or for plugging in USB sticks to play media files. Finally, you also get a headphone jack as well as an AV port for older devices using an adapter cable. I should also mention that Bluetooth 5.1 is available for pairing wireless speakers and headphones.
The YABER Pro V7 supports the following video formats: AVI, MP4, MKV, FLV, MOV, RMVB, 3GP, MPEG, MPEG2, H.264, XVID and JPEG. For audio formats, the projector supports the following formats: AAC, APE, OGG, MP3, M4A, FLAC, WAV, WMA, MID and DTS.
Design
Overall, all projectors have a similar design, especially at this size. The YABER Pro V7 is not a large projector, but it is not a small projector either. The projector measures 10.4 x 9.8 x 3.1 inches, which is still a manageable size. It comes with its own carry bag, so it can be carried around if you want to take it somewhere or move it to another room. This isn't one of those tiny portable projectors that you can just slip into your purse or whatever.
The projector itself is almost entirely white. The front features a huge lens. A manual focus ring sits on the side of the projector, along with an air filter system that keeps dirt and dust out. On the back are all the ports and the power port. The controls are on top if you don't want to use the remote. The bottom has rubber feet and a rubber screw that you can use to adjust the angle of the projector.

Experience
Let's start with the set. The YABER Pro V7 projector is a very complete package. When you get it, it comes packed in a nice little carrying case that includes the projector, all the cables, the remote, and the manuals. It's not tiny, but it's not difficult to carry, and it's portable.
Installation is about as simple. All you need to do is find a flat place to put it on and a clean, white wall to use the projector on. You can also use a projector screen if you want, but a white wall will do just as well. If you don't have table space and are a do-it-yourselfer, you can also get a projector mount to hang it from the ceiling.
Just make sure you're near a power outlet, as the power cable is a bit short and you may need to use an extension cord. To hang it from the ceiling, you must mount the projector upside down. The screw holes for ceiling mounting are under the rubber feet which you will need to remove.

You can choose to do this manually or via the 6D's automatic keystone correction. The 6D's automatic keystone correction seems to work fairly well and helps keep the image upright.
In fact, you need to align the image to the wall first before clicking the 6D button. Once you have done this you can then change the angle and the projector should automatically adjust the image upright. Then click the 6D button again to stop. It's not always perfect, but it works.
Connecting a media source is also very simple. The included ports on the back allow you to connect a wide variety of sources such as Blu-ray players, video game consoles, media streamers like the Roku or Fire Stick, and more. You can even wirelessly connect your smartphone or tablet to the projector via Miracast, which isn't that hard to do either.
The image quality is very good and you can get a fairly sharp and focused image even when magnified. The image also looks bright enough indoors, although in very bright areas the image isn't as bright as you'd like. Dimly lit or dark rooms are still the ideal environment for projectors. The projector's colors also seem pretty accurate, and I've tested it with regular movies, as well as animated movies like the usual Pixar animated films and films. Overall, I'm very happy with the brightness and colors.

In a larger room, the sound is a little harder to hear. I sincerely recommend you to use better speakers, like Bluetooth speakers or speakers connected directly to the projector. You can do this with the AV out port and cables. If you are alone, you can also plug in headphones if you wish.
Yaber v7 Pro Review: Reviews
I've never personally used a projector in my home, but I've had friends who owned one. I've always found it quite fascinating that you can get such a big picture from such a small machine without having to pay huge prices for TVs. A 100″ television for example would cost thousands of euros while a projector will cost you a few hundred euros. After using the Yaber Pro V7 projector, I can see why people love them and how versatile it can be.
Although not 100% perfect, I am quite impressed with the Yaber Pro V7. Image quality is excellent and meets my needs, while different input sources are welcome. Plus, the ability to wirelessly connect to the device via Miracast is a nice little bonus considering that many of us now consume most of our media on a tablet or smartphone. At least that way we can project them to a much larger source when we need them.
MerchantStockPriceOffer230€ViewFinally, I recommend plugging the projector into a better audio source for better sound if this projector is primarily intended to be stationary and not moved.
