• Image quality: While sharp, the contrast and color accuracy can be modest; improvements require post-calibration

• No built-in battery: Requires mains power—less mobile than battery-powered alternatives

• Auto-Keystone isn’t foolproof: Some users report occasional alignment misses depending on angle or surface

• Voice control missing: Lacks built-in mic or voice input—some comparable models (like MoGo 3 Pro) offer voice assistant support

• Port selection is basic: Only includes one HDMI and one USB-A—fine for most, but limited for multi-device setups
