LaView Galaxy/Star Projector, Home Planetarium Projector with 130 ft² Projection Area, HD Projector for Kids, Auto-Off Timer, Remote Control, Decorating Projector for Home, 6K Replaceable Discs(4 PK)

We turn on the "stars" for our little one every evening and it's a pretty magical experience. The nighttime routine of turning down the lights, together with a little mood music, provides a nice family bonding time on the transition from play to sleep. And unlike many toys, I can see us using this for many years to come. We bought 4 picture discs (moon, eagle nebula, milky way, and earth) but the images are just ok. The Eagle Nebula is probably the best one for the colors. Instead we mostly use the laser mode which is fantastic. The star field it produces has a varying pattern of dim vs bright stars that gives the illusion of a non-homogenous background. Add a little rotation and it's just relaxing to stare at. My only (minor) concerns so far have been the lack of focus and the weak remote control. Laser mode is very wide. If you place the project anywhere below shoulder height, you will get lasers in your face/eyes. We all lay on the floor and turn the projector on/off from there, but it's not super convenient. And since the remote control has to be pointed exactly at the receiver window on the projector, it requires shuffling around a bit to get the "stars" on/off. Overall though, a great buy and one of our most used items!

I'm an experienced astrophotographer and these projectors do an excellent job displaying astro images. I ended up purchasing 4 of them along with nearly every astro disc I could find. Resolution is surprisingly good. Additional resolution from a DS-1 or Homestar Flux are overkill unless you have a large projection area and get close enough to notice added detail. The astrophotos themselves are arguably the limiting factor rather than the projector or discs. As for discs, the new "Webb Disc Set" is a must purchase ($49) - by far the best of their offerings. Next best would be the "Famous Nebula Set". After that I'd recommend purchasing the individual full moon disc for $15 (it seems to have better resolution and realism than the less than full moon disc that comes with the projector). Another disc to buy is the planet disc which has all of the planets on one disc. You also definitely need a milky way disc. I was able to purchase most of these on Amazon and the others can be found on LaView's website. You need to focus each time you change discs and the process is just like focusing a telescope. As for critiques, the green lasers add nothing of value to me. I will not be using them. I don't use the rotation feature other than to orient the image in the way I prefer. Improvements would be to have a disc wheel to be able to change discs without having to remove/insert new discs. Also a remote controlled motorized focusing mechanism would be ideal. A design that has 4 projectors on one unit would be awesome if the company wants to consider building something even cooler. Anyone who loves astronomy will find enjoyment and great value in this projector. I'd prefer 3 of these over one DS-1 ($600) any day. This is a fantastic product for a great price. Well done LaView!

Most of my life I live by the slogan, you get what you pay for. I have to say the packaging is very nice & sleek. Nice instruction manual and the box has a compartment for 4 discs & a remote. So if you want to travel with it, it’s very convenient. I was going to purchase a nebula projector which are cool but it just looks like a colorful ocean that cost around $50-$60. But for $120 The LaView projector are actual photos taken by nasa telescopes copied onto small discs. That’s what I wanted something that is really out there in the cosmos. The projector comes with 4 separate disc. 2 of them I love and 2 I never use. You can see why in the photos. The moon & earth are just not clear. I know there’s projectors out there that cost over 600. The big difference with those has to be the clarity of it. The LaView has a clear picture in the center of the whole projection but when you get to the rim of the photo they get blurry. I do want to purchase other disc in the future to rotate photos but I see reviews say there just as blurry as well. It’s not a deal breaker and still projects a lovely scenery that is soothing to look at. Definitely gives a cozy vibe. If this thing could shine during the day and when the tv is on I would keep it on all day. It’s like having art on your ceiling. But in order to get the best picture it has to be pitch black in the room. Even if the tv is on it takes away from the view. Yes I wish it was just a tad bit more clearer but I do not regret purchasing this. I love it and I do recommend this to everyone. I think everyone should have this. Kids, adults all across the board. It also doesn’t project a ton of light. Which is a major plus. Other projectors give off too much light, not really ideal when your trying to sleep. It’s also extremely silent. You can only hear it when you put your ear next to it. Besides that you don’t hear a thing. I would give it 5 stars but because of the photos being blurry I have to deduct one. Overall if your on the fence, just get it. The one thing left to figure out is the test of time. And I will like to see how other projectors in this price range compete.

Toller Projektor für alle, die realistische Projektionen wollen. Die Projektionsqualität stimmt, auch wenn der Fokus sich etwas billig anfühlt und leicht verstellt. Die Fernbedienung, wie viele andere auch, muss leider direkt bzw. frontal auf den Projektor gerichtet werden. Das erschwert etwas die Aufstellung. Richtig ärgerlich ist aber die Tatsache, dass es in bzw. für Deutschland keine weiteren Discs gibt. LaView selber liefert eben nicht nach Deutschland und niemand anderes bietet das Zeug an. Selbst bei online in Amerika ist nichts zu bekommen oder man liefert nicht nach Deutschland. Das ist schon mehr als ärgerlich.

The projection for the stars or milkyway is extremely weak. room need to be totally dark to see anything

Einfach nur geil!!!! :-)

The quality is good, the image is decent, but the controls are only for laser and rotation of Image, you can’t control anything else on the image (brightness). Besides that it’s OK, really silent, you can’t hear it and it has 3 levels of speed, at max you can’t hear it.
