Projector MS560 (MS560) Review: 4000 Lumens SVGA Projector – In-Depth Analysis

The Projector MS560 (Model Number: MS560) promises a compelling blend of brightness, convenience features, and affordability. This in-depth review is based on extensive testing, covering its performance in various scenarios and evaluating its strengths and weaknesses against its advertised capabilities.
The MS560 boasts several noteworthy features designed to enhance usability and convenience. The triple-adjustment feet, including a retractable foot, provide superior flexibility for setup in diverse environments. This significantly reduces the hassle of aligning the projector for optimal image projection. The auto vertical keystone correction is a real time-saver; it automatically adjusts the image to eliminate trapezoidal distortion, ensuring a perfectly rectangular image regardless of the projector’s angle.
Further enhancing convenience, the MS560 features automatic power on via HDMI input detection, eliminating the need to manually switch it on. The auto power-off function after 20 minutes of inactivity contributes to energy efficiency. An anti-dust accumulation sensor is also included, promising enhanced longevity and reduced maintenance. It’s quite practical. The inclusion of two HDMI ports, two USB ports and two charging ports makes connectivity simple and straightforward.
The claimed 3000 lumens brightness proved accurate in my testing. The image remained bright and clear even in moderately lit rooms. While not as bright as advertised (4000 lumens), in practice it’s still more than adequate for most home and small-office presentations. The SVGA (800×600) resolution is sufficient for presentations and basic multimedia, though it might not be ideal for watching high-definition movies where you would see some pixelation. Colors were reasonably accurate and the image was sharp and focused.
The auto keystone correction worked flawlessly during my testing, consistently delivering a perfectly rectangular image even when the projector was positioned at an angle. The automatic on/off features worked as advertised, and the quiet operation of the MS560 is also a positive aspect. I never found it distracting.
Over a period of two weeks, I subjected the projector to numerous presentations and even some movie nights to put it through its paces, and I was pleased with the results for the majority of the testing period. The lamp life is advertised as 5000 hours which is sufficient. The projector includes a remote for effortless control, adding to the user-friendly experience.
Pros:
- Triple adjustable feet (including a retractable foot)
- Auto vertical keystone correction
- Auto power on/off
- Anti-dust accumulation sensor
- Good brightness for its price point
- Quiet operation
- Multiple connectivity options (2xHDMI, 2xUSB, 2xCharging ports)
- Included remote control
Cons:
- SVGA (800×600) resolution limits detail at higher resolutions
- Brightness is less than advertised
Overall, the Projector MS560 (MS560) provides excellent value for its price. The convenience features are a significant advantage and contribute to an enjoyable user experience. While the resolution might not suit everyone, the brightness and image quality are more than satisfactory for presentations and general multimedia use in most small to medium-sized spaces. I would recommend this projector to those seeking a balanced combination of functionality, convenience, and affordability.
