You’ve probably seen them in commercials or TV shows, where people are sitting on blankets or lawn chairs watching a movie projected on a sheet in the back yard or on a camping trip.I agree, but when I see those outdoor movie night scenes, all I can think of is, “That’s a lot of equipment to bring out to the backyard” — including a projector, a laptop, a way to power the projector and speakers for decent sound.
The projector has a 3.5-millimeter headphone jack on the back, so you can connect a set of computer speakers, and it also has Bluetooth, so you can connect it wirelessly to a Bluetooth speaker. I’m not sure why the dongle isn’t installed at the factory or why Wi-Fi isn’t just built-in, but the installation took about three seconds.The EZCast Beam J4a ships with a remote, tripod and carrying bag.
The remote uses Bluetooth and must be paired to the projector before use. Once paired, when you are using the remote, a pointer shows up on the projector screen and you can move the pointer by waving the remote in the air. It is pretty slick. It is amazing to think this small projector can sit in the middle of your backyard and stream Netflix or Disney+ with no wires at all.The J4a has a USB port so you can play video files stored on a flash drive.The ports on the rear of the EZCast Beam J4a, with the Wi-Fi dongle shown on the far right.
Oh, yeah. Movie night outside at 105 degrees.
