Got mine today in the UK by surprise according to DHL it was still in Germany since Monday.Then i got an email at work saying it will be there between 14:01 and 16:01. Wrong my wife at 14:00 and the van pulled up 
…Anyway tried it tonight with my 5 year old son, spiderman 4k trailer beamed onto wall. Semi dark room, certainly not pitched black. Bear in mind the only projector i had before was a 720p cheapo one we were blown away. Image was about 90-100" - great quality - sound pretty good too from projector

Finally! October 2019 to June 2020 - totally worth it!
Got the package today. Opened it up - really nice presentation and solid work. The PPM is like a little brick!
The included tripod is also good enough for its purpose, don’t know why there were negative comments in the past.
Currently charging the PPM and what I notice is that the charger itself gets really hot…maybe because it’s really powerful but I’m not sure if thats normal. Most probably…
Quick start guide is the first thing went through - no issues here.
Also for the other backers, I recommend lowering the Sharpness cause it’s default is set to 50%, which makes for a really distorted image, especially visible on video thumbnails for example (I noticed it on Netflix). Lowering it to 5% does miracles .
Colours are a bit off, but OK. I’m waiting for the colour calibration app in a future update . Definitely needs improvement on this point. Won’t be tagging Prashant cause he knows about it.
I’ll have to play a bit more with the Auto Keystone Correction, but it looks like it’s working OK.
Autofocus is also working pretty good!
Internal sound is not good enough giving the specs but can save you if you forgot your BT speaker. For example, I connected my BT speaker JBL Go 1, which has one 3W speaker and definitely beats the PPM internal speakers.
Unfortunately, my Anker PowerCore+ 26800mah does not charge the PPM at all. It was a present for my birthday but I guess they just didn’t see that it’s 15V/2A, not 15/3A and above. Well, I’ll have to sell it and buy the one I had my eyes on for some time now RAVPower PD 60W Powerbank USB C Power Delivery 20000mAh: Amazon.de: Elektronik
Waiting to get dark in the evening to test the full power of the PPM.

A lot of people have said this, especially those that have had problems charging the PPX.
I have however yet to feel one of my 3 OEM chargers to get really hot. In fact, they only feel a little bit warm at the most.
Odd… 
A post was merged into an existing topic: NETFLIX: Poor video quality, fuzzy, blurry (bitrate issue?)
Did anyone updated PPM Netflix App to latest version? Please share your experience on quality and overall experience. This help 
Don’t update Netflix. You will lose HD quality if you do.

Thank you
This should be fixed on priority, at friends and family circle… first impression. Oh No.
Philips Project team should think on it
Sorry I don’t understand this message. What needs fixing?
If you updated netflix you should uninstall it and instlal it back from the placeholder on the screen. I’m currently watching Interstellar on Netflix and the quality is very good, I’d say it even beats the xGimi H1.

Hello
had my max for two days now and am happy with it, any issues I can work around with little effort and compared to other Pico projectors I have owned it stands up well.
The only issue I have so far is the fan noise. I use it cieling mounted pluged into power and even on eco mode it’s audable. I can’t really use on the other settings as it’s to loud.
If this issue could be worked on and improved then this would be a really good piece of kit for my needs.

Having a play around with the power settings jumping from Eco, knormal and presentation there is a bit of lag in the system switching and the fan speed changing. If you jump into viewing before it catches up the fan speed doesn’t seem to change. Also I have found inconsistent fan noise on the settings, normal ends up loader than presentation. I have to set it on eco then work up the option list to get the correct noise levle if I jump about it all goes out of sink.

Have you updated to the latest version of the firmware? They addressed fan noise.
In case you did, please excuse my basic question

Yep I did, I think it’s deffinatly an issue between switching through the options and the system not changing accurately. If you wait for it to catch up and do it in order it sort of gets there. I think it just needs a bit of improving in the programming. It could be a bit slicker for the money.

Further to my previous comment It's here! - First Impressions and Thoughts, I just finished watching a 1h 50min movie on Normal mode via HDMI. When the movie started the battery level was at 95% and when it ended, it was at 34%, WOW… really nice. So most probably I’ll be able to get around 3h on Normal if on full battery.

Hey @Vin …I have experienced the same too. Pretty impressed with the PPM.
Hope you got it before your birthday, as you mentioned earlier.

It’s here! I’ve had my fair share of questions, comments and complaints on this forum in the past months, so I thought that it would only be fair enough to share some positivity in the good times!
The projector arrived yesterday and I’m very happy. The set-up was easy with the guides on this forum. The offline update worked very easily.
The UI works nicely, the image quality is good, the keystone correction is convenient as well as the auto-focus. The remote is actually better than expected after reading what everybody had to say about it here and the tripod won’t be used much but it’s also not worthless as some have said here.
We watched an episode of Suits on Netflix and a movie from a USB-A stick. Both experiences were good. For watching movies from a USB stick, I’d recommend using the VLC app. It was much easier to use than the MX app.
We do have to get a proper screen since the texture on our walls is not nice to project on and not so reflective and it might be a bit to bright in Sweden this time of year.
Overall, very happy and the user experience has been good since arrival.
Thanks Philips Projection / Screeneo, @IvoGrijt and other moderators!
