Streaming youtube off of an Android powered projector!

Hey guys!

I just recently got a new projector to replace my old Optoma ML550 which died in a matter of a few days of purchasing. I used to run my computer to the projector to view movies and watch youtube/streams/Netflix but then the optical unit went poof. The projector is okay for what it was. I could have bought a full sized projector for around the same price but I wanted something that was portable and easy to carry because I tend to travel a lot and something bigger would take up too much space in my backpack or luggage bag. Last week, I came across a projector called the AAXA LED Android Pico Projector. It was around 500 dollars. Not knowing a lot about the company and seeing fair reviews for the product itself on Amazon, I bit the bullet and wanted to try it out. The thing that appealed to me was the Android capability that it had. At the time when I looking at projectors I thought that if all I needed was the projector with an Android on it, then I wouldn't need much of my laptop. Less things to carry! I got it yesterday and tried it out in my room and I have to say, I am not disappointed. there are even USB inputs to use your mouse which I thought was pretty sweet. I took a video to see how it looks on camera and I have to say, it doesn't look too bad at all. It may show a little over exposure due to the camera not be calibrated right. Poop haha. All I used to play the projector on Youtube was the projector, a tripod, a mouse to navigate and external speakers which worked great. The projector is quite bright for it's size and I can probably pull the projector back even farther to get a larger image. I will try that soon and show you how that looks. But in the video I would have to estimate that it's roughly a 60inch projection. It's a neat little projector! Let me know what you guys think!
