TMY 1080P Full HD Portable Mini Projector (V08) with Bluetooth 5.1 and Included Screen
Product description
The essentials (why you’d actually want this)
A portable mini projector only matters if it’s easy to set up and produces a usable picture without turning your living room into a wiring project. The TMY 1080P Full HD Portable Mini Projector (V08) is built for that “grab it and watch” style—indoor or outdoor—with an included foldable projection screen. Add in Bluetooth 5.1 audio support and built-in speaker, and you get a compact home-cinema setup that can work for movies, TV shows, photos, slide shows, and even video games.
It’s not perfect for every scenario, though. If your top priority is phone screen mirroring from protected streaming apps, the included notes are a big limitation to keep in mind (more on that below). And like most portable LED-style projectors in this class, it’s best approached as a convenient entertainment device rather than a full-on theater replacement.
So, should you buy it? It makes the most sense if you want a simple portable projector + screen combo and you’re okay using the right connection method for your apps.
What stands out in day-to-day use
The biggest practical win here is the included projection screen. Instead of trying to hunt for a wall-friendly surface or improvising with sheets, you can set up a dedicated screen for cleaner viewing.
The picture support is also positioned clearly: it states “1080P Full HD supported,” with a LED light source and “uniform illumination” aimed at avoiding darker areas along the edges of the image. That matters if you’ve ever used a small projector and felt like corners look worse than the center.
And then there’s the audio setup: - You can watch with the built-in upgraded speaker. - Or you can pair Bluetooth audio devices (Bluetooth speakers or Bluetooth headphones) using Bluetooth 5.1.
Small but important nuance: Bluetooth here is for audio transmission only. It can’t be used for smartphone screen mirroring.
Key specifications that affect your expectations
Before you get too excited, take a close look at the numbers that shape the experience: screen size, distance, and basic image support. On paper, this projector is geared toward flexible setups rather than huge home-theater walls.

Connections & compatibility: where buyers usually get stuck
This is one of those products where the “what you can connect” part matters as much as the projector itself.
HDMI, TV sticks, and laptops
The guide says you can use HDMI for laptops/computers, and it also recommends using a TV stick/Roku/Chrome-cast into the projector for streaming apps. That lines up with the HDCP limitation: some screen mirroring attempts from certain apps may show no image or sound.
A very practical approach is: - Plug in a TV stick or streaming device. - Use the projector like a display. - Skip phone mirroring entirely for apps that are likely protected.
Phone and tablet connections
For phones/tablets, the projector may work depending on your device and supported output: - iOS: you’ll need an official Lightning to HDMI adapter (HDMI adapter cable is not included). - Android: if your phone supports MHL, you can use a micro USB/type-c to HDMI cable (HDMI cable not included). - If your phone doesn’t support MHL: the note suggests preparing a Chrome-cast.
And again, Bluetooth is only for audio transmission with Bluetooth speakers/headphones—it’s not a workaround for mirroring.
About HDCP (the “can I mirror Hulu/Prime?” issue)
The product notes warn that due to HDCP agreement, screen mirroring doesn’t work (no image or sound) when you mirror content from some apps (examples given include amazon Prime Video and Hulu). On the bright side, you can still play those videos by using a TV stick into the projector.
That’s the key limitation: if you want effortless mirroring from your phone for everything, it may not deliver.
Setup tips + a realistic micro-scenario
Getting a decent result often comes down to distance and placement. The projector lists a projection distance between 1.5m and 6m for images from 32” up to 220”. In real life, you’ll usually get the best “watchable” experience by: - Setting the projector at a distance that lands you in a reasonable screen size. - Using the included foldable screen so you can focus on tuning placement rather than chasing a perfect wall.
Micro-scenario: imagine a backyard movie night. You unfold the included anti-wrinkle screen, place the projector so you’re within the stated distance range, and plug in a TV stick. Then you either use the built-in speaker for convenience or pair Bluetooth headphones/speakers for clearer audio at the party level.
Who it’s for (and who should think twice)
It’s a solid fit if you want a portable mini projector with an included screen, you plan to use a TV stick/Roku/Chrome-cast for streaming, and you value flexibility for indoor/outdoor viewing.
It might not be the best choice if you’re mainly relying on phone screen mirroring from protected apps. In that case, the HDCP note suggests you’ll likely end up using a different connection method anyway.
Also, if you’re expecting it to behave like a high-end, permanently installed theater system, it may feel more “gadget-friendly” than cinematic-grade.
Is it worth it?
Buy the TMY 1080P Full HD Portable Mini Projector (V08) if you want a ready-to-go portable setup where the included projection screen removes a common headache, and you’re comfortable using HDMI sources or a TV stick for streaming. The Bluetooth 5.1 audio support can be a nice extra for sound without extra cables, as long as you remember it’s audio-only.
Skip it (or at least double-check your use case) if you primarily want universal smartphone screen mirroring from apps like Amazon Prime Video or Hulu, because the provided HDCP guidance points to mirroring failing for some services.
If you match the connection approach to how this projector is designed to be used, it should feel practical and straightforward.
