I did some research, and it seems that the global version is likely called the 'Mi Smart Projector 2', and runs stock Android TV instead of MIUI TV. (RU-vid flagged my comment as spam when I included the link) If you choose to keep it, you may or may not be able to flash the global firmware to it and get access to the Play Store, but it would likely not have a valid Netflix ESN, thus it may not be possible to watch Netflix, but stuff using Widevine DRM may or may not still work. (7:42) The global version has that button marked with the Google Assistant logo instead, likely as a result of Google Play Protect certification requirements. Other than that and the inclusion of Netflix and Android TV Live Channels buttons, the remotes should be identical between both versions. Edit: I may actually consider getting one since I've found a used one for $500, that's a global model so I'd be able to use the 'smart stuff' (31:03), or someone else is selling a used Chinese market version for $460 for if I were to just want to only really use the HDMI input.
Very informative. Although max screen size is mentioned as 120 inch, but what's the optimum screen size do you recommend for this Projector so that brightness level and image quality isn't compromised much?
I need help , which one should I buy to watch movies and videos at home? What is the advantage and disadvantage of version 1 compared to 2, which one has more vivid and beautiful colors?
Thanks for the review. Couple of questions. 1) Why didn't you just project onto the wall in the living room? 2) how far away would it need to be to get a 40" image?

I can't project directly on that wall as there is a TV mounted on it. I don't want to use a projector as my main display so using an inexpensive screen that I can easily put away is a good compromise.
