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

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

00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:15.059
online now for 2600 US Dollars it's

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

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

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

00:00:23.460 --> 00:00:34.200
guy's coming with us to the Christmas party oh yeah call information book here

00:00:29.760 --> 00:00:35.399
it's foam here's our projector here

00:00:34.200 --> 00:00:39.660
looks like we've got a couple speakers along the back side that faces you on

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

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

00:00:44.879 --> 00:00:50.160
USB HDMI one and two number two supports

00:00:48.300 --> 00:00:55.199
audio Arc which is the audio return channel from your TV if you want to have

00:00:52.800 --> 00:01:00.120
anything plugged into that both the HDMI support HDMI 2.0 and if you have other

00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:04.199
external sources like you know music player or you want to have an AUX in

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

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

00:01:09.960 --> 00:01:15.420
room the nice thing about having a short throw projector like this is it's all

00:01:13.500 --> 00:01:18.720
self-contained right in where you want all your media stuff so you don't have

00:01:17.220 --> 00:01:22.380
to run cables through the ceiling or around the sides of the walls like I do

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

00:01:25.080 --> 00:01:31.560
which is kind of exciting they're claiming about 25

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

00:01:33.119 --> 00:01:40.020
got a power kit table and a nice little remote too which is cool cool thing

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

00:01:42.479 --> 00:01:48.240
Netflix all that sort of stuff right from the projector itself you don't even

00:01:45.780 --> 00:01:52.220
need a you know external device like a PS5 or laptop hooked up which is great

00:01:52.740 --> 00:01:57.840
just on this table here I have it on like a coffee table like

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

00:01:59.820 --> 00:02:05.939
far away from the screen and it's got these little adjustment Wheels on the

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

00:02:08.580 --> 00:02:13.140
and down like that it's a little bit easier than doing it in the ceiling

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

00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:24.000
screen is going to be pretty huge the laser in here will be 2500 ANSI lumens

00:02:20.580 --> 00:02:26.220
and it'll do 4K 60 frames a second and

00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:30.599
it has 120 frames a second with that Motion Plus smoothing stuff we'll see

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

00:02:31.980 --> 00:02:37.500
table we'll get it powered on and calibrated and see how that goes it's

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

00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:46.140
you would need a lot of cooling with a traditional like Xenon discharge oh

00:02:44.040 --> 00:02:49.200
there we go it's on the ceiling

00:02:48.120 --> 00:02:53.819
okay maybe ow maybe a bit uh

00:02:52.080 --> 00:02:58.080
a bit too far away hey there we go so yeah

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

00:03:01.920 --> 00:03:08.340
it's going to live physically rather than anything else and these feet should

00:03:06.540 --> 00:03:12.000
help you know we're going to get some Keystone correction and we'll do that

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

00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:20.700
difficult things about a short throw projector is the height of the throw

00:03:17.940 --> 00:03:25.680
needs to be critical the height of the bottom of the image is directly dictated

00:03:22.500 --> 00:03:29.459
by how high the projector is off of the

00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:31.739
ground so depending on a few things you

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

00:03:34.140 --> 00:03:39.900
bring that up a bit and then we can pull

00:03:37.860 --> 00:03:45.000
this back until

00:03:42.299 --> 00:03:50.099
it fits the more you can do moving the projector

00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:56.099
around physically rather than doing it in software the better image you'll get

00:03:52.980 --> 00:03:58.200
out of uh any kind of projector

00:03:56.099 --> 00:04:02.099
because you know the lens is going to distort whatever you have I mean

00:04:00.540 --> 00:04:05.819
naturally you would probably put the projector in your house and then find

00:04:04.140 --> 00:04:11.459
the position of the screen we already had a projector so this screen is

00:04:07.920 --> 00:04:12.659
already set for our screen size okay so

00:04:11.459 --> 00:04:17.040
this is settings for the whole thing we'll go into display

00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:21.180
there's our Keystone correction so it'll have eight-way Keystone correction which

00:04:19.199 --> 00:04:26.639
is uh quite nice and we can do four point or eight point

00:04:23.400 --> 00:04:29.280
and so we can come in here physically

00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:33.240
and we should be able to just grab this and

00:04:31.320 --> 00:04:36.840
fix any of those little distortions that we might have

00:04:34.560 --> 00:04:41.520
that's close enough for today let's have a look at the eight point oh

00:04:38.880 --> 00:04:44.580
okay so just adds some more in the middle

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

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

00:04:49.500 --> 00:04:54.600
to have is this Focus correction and so

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

00:04:56.280 --> 00:05:02.520
the remote to adjust focus left and right so get up nice and close have a

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

00:05:04.440 --> 00:05:11.040
the individual lines of the pixels it looks like the corners are a little bit

00:05:08.880 --> 00:05:14.520
soft like here it's really nice right there and over

00:05:13.380 --> 00:05:19.139
here this is kind of a low resolution image

00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:22.919
so if I take this over no that's okay even more

00:05:21.180 --> 00:05:26.160
I think that's fine there you go that's a little easier than

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

00:05:28.380 --> 00:05:33.120
Aurora cast is that like uh it's like a

00:05:31.380 --> 00:05:38.220
special version of Chromecast it's kind of nice it's got AirPlay for you know

00:05:35.580 --> 00:05:42.660
your iPhone and your your Mac Miracast for your Android devices and dolna for

00:05:41.400 --> 00:05:48.060
everything else let's get the PS5 on there and play some

00:05:44.759 --> 00:05:50.160
games it's picked up 4K at 60 hertz

00:05:48.060 --> 00:05:55.320
which is great oh yeah that's right so this is an HDR

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

00:05:57.479 --> 00:06:04.280
choices because this has uh it's got the Motion Plus and all sorts of other

00:06:02.039 --> 00:06:04.280
things

00:06:13.220 --> 00:06:20.759
so here we can adjust some image parameters we've got our brightness hdrs

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

00:06:23.400 --> 00:06:29.280
looks like Left Right top bottom frame packing frame sequential all the cool

00:06:27.060 --> 00:06:33.840
stuff oh it has a specific gaming mode so we'll probably want that in gaming

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

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

00:06:40.020 --> 00:06:44.840
especially got to go through all that digital Keystone correction and all that

00:06:43.199 --> 00:06:51.240
sort of stuff oh my God

00:06:47.940 --> 00:06:54.920
I'm standing over it that's why you're

00:06:51.240 --> 00:06:55.820
gonna watch TV here you dumbass

00:06:58.680 --> 00:07:04.620
okay that's actually not bad those are pretty good when you're actually

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

00:07:07.199 --> 00:07:13.740
take our image parameters over and we'll go to TV

00:07:12.180 --> 00:07:18.120
it's about the same go over to Game Mode movie sorry gaming

00:07:16.440 --> 00:07:22.979
mode oh yeah that's like that's definitely

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

00:07:24.360 --> 00:07:31.800
game's actual like choice to smooth uh

00:07:28.620 --> 00:07:34.620
inputs but yeah that feels certainly

00:07:31.800 --> 00:07:40.199
faster I mean it's nice it's bright it's easier to set up

00:07:37.080 --> 00:07:41.880
do I go in my hole no okay

00:07:40.199 --> 00:07:45.780
Let's uh let's try a YouTube video YouTube

00:07:44.280 --> 00:07:51.319
you ever heard of YouTube never and ever do we do a crab Rave do I

00:07:49.440 --> 00:07:56.960
do I dare definitely some sort of artifacting from

00:07:54.419 --> 00:08:03.479
the motion smoothing that's very strange if I go back home

00:08:01.139 --> 00:08:08.400
and push the home button and then go to settings and go to

00:08:06.539 --> 00:08:13.199
display and man

00:08:10.860 --> 00:08:17.639
I'm gonna go back see if that artifacting is still there oh yeah that

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

00:08:19.680 --> 00:08:28.319
it says that the viewport frame is 1920x1080. so does that mean that the

00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:32.279
Android TV is only you know full HD it's

00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:34.620
not UHD so if we want to watch 4K you HD

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

00:08:37.800 --> 00:08:45.300
second which is great I guess motion smoothing is disabled for 60 frames a

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

00:08:46.620 --> 00:08:52.740
contest with this um you know from Mexico for 2600 bucks I

00:08:50.820 --> 00:08:58.860
think if you care about having speakers that don't sound absolute garbage uh if

00:08:56.220 --> 00:09:03.660
you like having the Android integrated system and if you want the nice kind of

00:09:01.500 --> 00:09:07.620
compact form factor that sits right up against your wall like this is like half

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
