1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:06,779
I've been in the market for a short throw projector for a long time now and

2
00:00:04,500 --> 00:00:12,300
thankfully Mexico has sent one over for us to take a look at and it's available

3
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:15,059
online now for 2600 US Dollars it's

4
00:00:12,300 --> 00:00:18,240
capable of throwing an 80 inch to 150 inch screen I can't remember the size of

5
00:00:16,980 --> 00:00:21,539
the one that we have here I think it's about 120 inches we're gonna get it set

6
00:00:20,220 --> 00:00:24,600
up we're going to try some games I've got a laptop too and hopefully this

7
00:00:23,460 --> 00:00:34,200
guy's coming with us to the Christmas party oh yeah call information book here

8
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:35,399
it's foam here's our projector here

9
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:39,660
looks like we've got a couple speakers along the back side that faces you on

10
00:00:38,100 --> 00:00:43,500
the couch we've got four speakers in here each of them are about 15 watts two

11
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:48,300
subs two tweeters that sort of thing got some inputs on the back here we've got

12
00:00:44,879 --> 00:00:50,160
USB HDMI one and two number two supports

13
00:00:48,300 --> 00:00:55,199
audio Arc which is the audio return channel from your TV if you want to have

14
00:00:52,800 --> 00:01:00,120
anything plugged into that both the HDMI support HDMI 2.0 and if you have other

15
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:04,199
external sources like you know music player or you want to have an AUX in

16
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:08,280
it's got three and a half mil in and out at home I use the projector as well and

17
00:01:06,780 --> 00:01:11,520
I use the audio return channel to come back to my stereo at the front of the

18
00:01:09,960 --> 00:01:15,420
room the nice thing about having a short throw projector like this is it's all

19
00:01:13,500 --> 00:01:18,720
self-contained right in where you want all your media stuff so you don't have

20
00:01:17,220 --> 00:01:22,380
to run cables through the ceiling or around the sides of the walls like I do

21
00:01:20,340 --> 00:01:26,880
it's great and we've got a lan Port too oh and yeah this is a laser projector

22
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:31,560
which is kind of exciting they're claiming about 25

23
00:01:29,100 --> 00:01:35,880
000 hours on the laser emitter which is kind of cool what else we got in here we

24
00:01:33,119 --> 00:01:40,020
got a power kit table and a nice little remote too which is cool cool thing

25
00:01:37,979 --> 00:01:44,040
about this is it has Android 9 built in so you can you know watch YouTube videos

26
00:01:42,479 --> 00:01:48,240
Netflix all that sort of stuff right from the projector itself you don't even

27
00:01:45,780 --> 00:01:52,220
need a you know external device like a PS5 or laptop hooked up which is great

28
00:01:52,740 --> 00:01:57,840
just on this table here I have it on like a coffee table like

29
00:01:56,399 --> 00:02:02,220
we've got here here you would have it on your center console and place it however

30
00:01:59,820 --> 00:02:05,939
far away from the screen and it's got these little adjustment Wheels on the

31
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:09,959
back here so you can adjust the feet up and down to get the picture centered up

32
00:02:08,580 --> 00:02:13,140
and down like that it's a little bit easier than doing it in the ceiling

33
00:02:11,700 --> 00:02:18,120
right looks like it's got a pretty big aperture I mean you're doing 150 foot

34
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:24,000
screen is going to be pretty huge the laser in here will be 2500 ANSI lumens

35
00:02:20,580 --> 00:02:26,220
and it'll do 4K 60 frames a second and

36
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:30,599
it has 120 frames a second with that Motion Plus smoothing stuff we'll see

37
00:02:28,140 --> 00:02:33,360
how that looks it's probably okay I don't know so let's get it down on the

38
00:02:31,980 --> 00:02:37,500
table we'll get it powered on and calibrated and see how that goes it's

39
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:41,700
quiet that's nice I guess because uh it doesn't have the giant fan in it like

40
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:46,140
you would need a lot of cooling with a traditional like Xenon discharge oh

41
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:49,200
there we go it's on the ceiling

42
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:53,819
okay maybe ow maybe a bit uh

43
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:58,080
a bit too far away hey there we go so yeah

44
00:02:56,459 --> 00:03:03,900
um there's no Zoom controls or anything so you do have to find the place where

45
00:03:01,920 --> 00:03:08,340
it's going to live physically rather than anything else and these feet should

46
00:03:06,540 --> 00:03:12,000
help you know we're going to get some Keystone correction and we'll do that

47
00:03:09,660 --> 00:03:15,900
stuff in a minute okay I think I've got it reasonably well positioned one of the

48
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:20,700
difficult things about a short throw projector is the height of the throw

49
00:03:17,940 --> 00:03:25,680
needs to be critical the height of the bottom of the image is directly dictated

50
00:03:22,500 --> 00:03:29,459
by how high the projector is off of the

51
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:31,739
ground so depending on a few things you

52
00:03:29,459 --> 00:03:37,860
might have to adjust your screen we have a rolly screen so why don't we just

53
00:03:34,140 --> 00:03:39,900
bring that up a bit and then we can pull

54
00:03:37,860 --> 00:03:45,000
this back until

55
00:03:42,299 --> 00:03:50,099
it fits the more you can do moving the projector

56
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:56,099
around physically rather than doing it in software the better image you'll get

57
00:03:52,980 --> 00:03:58,200
out of uh any kind of projector

58
00:03:56,099 --> 00:04:02,099
because you know the lens is going to distort whatever you have I mean

59
00:04:00,540 --> 00:04:05,819
naturally you would probably put the projector in your house and then find

60
00:04:04,140 --> 00:04:11,459
the position of the screen we already had a projector so this screen is

61
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:12,659
already set for our screen size okay so

62
00:04:11,459 --> 00:04:17,040
this is settings for the whole thing we'll go into display

63
00:04:14,879 --> 00:04:21,180
there's our Keystone correction so it'll have eight-way Keystone correction which

64
00:04:19,199 --> 00:04:26,639
is uh quite nice and we can do four point or eight point

65
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:29,280
and so we can come in here physically

66
00:04:26,639 --> 00:04:33,240
and we should be able to just grab this and

67
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:36,840
fix any of those little distortions that we might have

68
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:41,520
that's close enough for today let's have a look at the eight point oh

69
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:44,580
okay so just adds some more in the middle

70
00:04:42,840 --> 00:04:47,940
there we go that'll get rid of any of the pin cushioning that we can see there

71
00:04:46,199 --> 00:04:53,100
along the sides that's uh that's always nice to have the other thing that's nice

72
00:04:49,500 --> 00:04:54,600
to have is this Focus correction and so

73
00:04:53,100 --> 00:04:57,600
you don't have to like get down there and play with it press the arrow keys on

74
00:04:56,280 --> 00:05:02,520
the remote to adjust focus left and right so get up nice and close have a

75
00:05:00,540 --> 00:05:07,080
look at the pixels what I'm looking for on the screen here is if I can see like

76
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:11,040
the individual lines of the pixels it looks like the corners are a little bit

77
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:14,520
soft like here it's really nice right there and over

78
00:05:13,380 --> 00:05:19,139
here this is kind of a low resolution image

79
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:22,919
so if I take this over no that's okay even more

80
00:05:21,180 --> 00:05:26,160
I think that's fine there you go that's a little easier than

81
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:31,380
having to drill into your walls to hang a projector isn't it what on Earth is

82
00:05:28,380 --> 00:05:33,120
Aurora cast is that like uh it's like a

83
00:05:31,380 --> 00:05:38,220
special version of Chromecast it's kind of nice it's got AirPlay for you know

84
00:05:35,580 --> 00:05:42,660
your iPhone and your your Mac Miracast for your Android devices and dolna for

85
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:48,060
everything else let's get the PS5 on there and play some

86
00:05:44,759 --> 00:05:50,160
games it's picked up 4K at 60 hertz

87
00:05:48,060 --> 00:05:55,320
which is great oh yeah that's right so this is an HDR

88
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:59,940
projector I believe it Sports HDR 10. let's have a look at some of our input

89
00:05:57,479 --> 00:06:04,280
choices because this has uh it's got the Motion Plus and all sorts of other

90
00:06:02,039 --> 00:06:04,280
things

91
00:06:13,220 --> 00:06:20,759
so here we can adjust some image parameters we've got our brightness hdrs

92
00:06:18,300 --> 00:06:25,380
on color temperature is standard oh yeah that's right it'll do 3D stuff too so it

93
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:29,280
looks like Left Right top bottom frame packing frame sequential all the cool

94
00:06:27,060 --> 00:06:33,840
stuff oh it has a specific gaming mode so we'll probably want that in gaming

95
00:06:31,919 --> 00:06:37,319
mode this one will do 30 milliseconds of latency which is not too bad at all a

96
00:06:35,819 --> 00:06:41,400
lot of projectors have hell of a lot of input latency I think there's quite a bit of image processing they got to do

97
00:06:40,020 --> 00:06:44,840
especially got to go through all that digital Keystone correction and all that

98
00:06:43,199 --> 00:06:51,240
sort of stuff oh my God

99
00:06:47,940 --> 00:06:54,920
I'm standing over it that's why you're

100
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:55,820
gonna watch TV here you dumbass

101
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:04,620
okay that's actually not bad those are pretty good when you're actually

102
00:07:02,220 --> 00:07:09,840
pointing your head at the speakers they sound better who'da thunk let's uh let's

103
00:07:07,199 --> 00:07:13,740
take our image parameters over and we'll go to TV

104
00:07:12,180 --> 00:07:18,120
it's about the same go over to Game Mode movie sorry gaming

105
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:22,979
mode oh yeah that's like that's definitely

106
00:07:20,639 --> 00:07:28,620
less and it it doesn't feel as bad and of course we don't know the uh the

107
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:31,800
game's actual like choice to smooth uh

108
00:07:28,620 --> 00:07:34,620
inputs but yeah that feels certainly

109
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:40,199
faster I mean it's nice it's bright it's easier to set up

110
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:41,880
do I go in my hole no okay

111
00:07:40,199 --> 00:07:45,780
Let's uh let's try a YouTube video YouTube

112
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:51,319
you ever heard of YouTube never and ever do we do a crab Rave do I

113
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:56,960
do I dare definitely some sort of artifacting from

114
00:07:54,419 --> 00:08:03,479
the motion smoothing that's very strange if I go back home

115
00:08:01,139 --> 00:08:08,400
and push the home button and then go to settings and go to

116
00:08:06,539 --> 00:08:13,199
display and man

117
00:08:10,860 --> 00:08:17,639
I'm gonna go back see if that artifacting is still there oh yeah that

118
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:21,680
totally is I wonder if this is just the bitrate of the video the thing is though

119
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:28,319
it says that the viewport frame is 1920x1080. so does that mean that the

120
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:32,279
Android TV is only you know full HD it's

121
00:08:28,319 --> 00:08:34,620
not UHD so if we want to watch 4K you HD

122
00:08:32,279 --> 00:08:39,779
content we need to plug in a laptop anyway so this is 4K at 60 frames a

123
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:45,300
second which is great I guess motion smoothing is disabled for 60 frames a

124
00:08:42,899 --> 00:08:48,000
second things but I don't I don't know I think that's about all the things that I

125
00:08:46,620 --> 00:08:52,740
contest with this um you know from Mexico for 2600 bucks I

126
00:08:50,820 --> 00:08:58,860
think if you care about having speakers that don't sound absolute garbage uh if

127
00:08:56,220 --> 00:09:03,660
you like having the Android integrated system and if you want the nice kind of

128
00:09:01,500 --> 00:09:07,620
compact form factor that sits right up against your wall like this is like half

129
00:09:05,279 --> 00:09:12,300
a foot away it's great then this will be an awesome option for you check out the
