Third-party reviews

What customers like about TOPTRO X9 Pro

  • The 40 W speaker is loud enough to fill a small room.
  • HDR10 and a 1920x1080 picture add detail to films and streaming.
  • Auto-focus and auto keystone correction cut down setup time.
  • It can be mounted on a ceiling, which saves table space.
  • Wi-Fi 6 and AirPlay make it easy to stream from a phone.
  • The LED light is rated for 30000 hours.

What customers don't like about TOPTRO X9 Pro

  • At 3 kg it is heavy to carry between rooms.
  • The 2200 lumens look right only with the lights off.
  • It draws 135 W while running.
  • There is only one HDMI port.
  • The zoom is not motorized, so the picture size is set by hand.

Verdict

A 40 W built-in speaker is the main reason to look at the TOPTRO X9 Pro, a budget projector for people who want a movie night without a separate sound system. The 1920x1080 picture is sharp for films and streaming, and HDR10 adds detail in dark scenes. Auto-focus and auto keystone correction mean less fiddling with the setup. It can also be mounted on a ceiling, which saves table space. Wi-Fi 6, AirPlay and voice commands make it easy to stream straight from a phone. The trade-off is weight. At 3 kg it is heavy to carry from room to room, and 2200 lumens need the lights off to look right. It suits someone who wants a bedroom or garden movie setup and can put up with the weight.
