Yes It does, So far i`m very pleased with this projector. I play my movies from my home theater system on a roll open big screen in my back yard to get the stereo surround sound. Its great for parties in yard backyard are park..

I have played 1080p clips from my lap top for seminars, and it looks good in a dark room. I agree with Mark Lessor, it isn't a home theater quality.

I bought EPSON VS210, all ok, but movies from laptop don't like much, quality good, but I wait more... by the cost of projector is good

It works perfectly, but you have to think about the lamp, its not designed for waching movies, so maybe the lamp wont last long.

Yes, Absolutely! I have used it with both a laptop and a net-book. Connects quickly and easily, no problems.

I've used it to project some Youtube videos and also play a DVD from my laptop DVD player. It isn't perfect for showing movies because it isn't the brighest of projectors and it doesn't keep up with fast motion as in an action movie. I'd say that it is good enough to show a video clip or play a movie but it isn't going to be top quality home theater video. If the room is fairly dark it would probably look OK.

Latency from my phone is probably .2 - .4 sec off. It could be ignored and workable, but for me, it is too far off for me to use it to comfortably watch a movie. My laptop (older Bluetooth technology) is actually a worse.

I use it to watch Netflix on a TV over HDMI. It works just fine, just make sure you have a decent WiFi connection. YouTube is also fine.

To be honest with you, especially when dealing with money, I sent mine back after having it for only a week. I sent it back because it did not play all m dvds or my flash drive. With my dealings with it, it played some of my items, which did not suit well with me. I hope I answered your question and I am not trying to discredit the company, I'm simply being honest in my dealings with the projector and why I do not have it anymore.

I'm Sorry, I haven't used it for anything other than "Word" docs and light web surfing. Wish I could have been more help. I guess my main concern would be, what video software would work on an "Android" tablet? Have you tried looking at "youtube" for anyone using the tablet for just that? Wish you well.

I watch YouTube movies and videos and it does great. I just don't like Windows 8 with this computer but everything else is wonderful. The quality of the video's is great depending on your internet speed of course. I have high-speed cable internet. I would recommend this lap-top for movies however, you will probably need to watch the battery life. I get about 5 hours of battery life.

I have found that making sure there is adequate wifi signal is important to using this device to stream video. For my home, I found it necessary to add a "range extender" to my wifi system . I have ocasionally experienced dropped signal since installing the extender but it is rare. Buffering has improved considerably. I have found that the recent update for the youtube app corrected a few issues including the full screen problem. I hope this helps Harold

I had the same problem and the video playback was choppy. I don't think this product works very well. I wish I had an answer for you.

It doesn't work for me either, but I am just using the splitter so I can connect my laptop to my TV and my computer monitor to watch movies on Netflix and it works great. I keep my laptop on a docking station. My 40" TV even works fine as a computer monitor when I want a big screen, so the splitter works for my situation for what I want it to do.

Hi Gregory,I have had mine for several months now and have absolutely no issues with it. Battery life might not be as good as some would like (4 - 6 hours, depending upon specific use), but mine stays mostly plugged in, so it is really a non-issue for me. I use mine for work, have produced a few videos with it just to compare it with my desktop system, and use it in conjunction with Chromecast to watch high definition movies on my large screen TV. The 17" display on the laptop is very good at watching high definition movies from short distances. There may be better units out there, but I am not disappointed at all with this one.

I was able to watch through a web browser without too much fuss.. however though there was unbearable lag and no way around it. I recommend sticking with bluetooth for video oriented audio (videos/movies/youtube/etc) I bought Creative ZiiSound D3x Bluetooth Wireless Speaker and couldn't be happier. Hope this helps

I have tested Netflix video from my Android tablet with no issues. Music from the same device is also not an issue and works great. From my Chromebook is a problem, stuttering etc.

I didn't try it with a laptop, but I have done it just fine with a tablet. No reason why it shouldn't work.

These products are well established. It can get choppy on some video playback because all processing is done by the CPU, but since it only refreshes the portion of the screen it is usually workable for ad-resolution video and other browsing, I tested a similar product and own a few of these USB 2.0 adapters -- you need a beefy CPU to handle 1080p video.

I never got mine to work... but from what I saw on YouTube presentations it works from your computer.

I'm just curious if you've tried recording something on the video setting and playing it back on your computer to see if the sound comes out. The "speaker" or playback on the cameras are piss poor, not that they should be anything great, but it might be possible that you can't hear it on the camera but the sound pics up on video and you can hear it on playback. Hope that made some sense. I hope it works out for you.
