Regarding the lag, you should change the mode to "Game mode" by pressing the 3 line button on the controller while in the HDMI source screen (in game for instance)
@@plawsworth I think he forgot to turn off Auto keystone, if did he that the latency in game mode would be much lower. He also needed to turn on hdmi 2.1 in console settings.
@@plawsworth I have this projector now and the lag is much better then it was on his tv. It looked like he had at least 70-100ms of lag. When I have game mode on and keystone off I get something like 35ms, it feels like that for me. I don't understand how they advertise this having only 12ms?. anyway even at 35ms it's still totally playable.
This projector gets the job done pretty well. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxS9P8zTOcmQg-hH0QeUi3dspOLyYgQ6dH Bear in mind it's a mini projector but all things considered the picture quality is pretty good. The attached photo is of the projector projecting onto my white closet doors. I still have not messed with the settings but I can't wait for our first family movie night on a larger scale. If you have issues with volume not working with your firestick, go into volume settings and you will find your solution there.
Hello, Congratulations for your work and your channel. I’ve received my S5 end of last week, and in fact my unit must not me working properly. The focus is not good (ok in the center, but not in the borders), text never seems to be clear, and pixels are so visible that it even looks like it’s not a 1080P projector. I’m trying to speak to NothingProjector, but they’re feedback and info is almost inexistente. I look at your review and to what I see in my projector, and it seems to completely diferente devices. Really worried about how this will end…
@@SaabUnleashed I'm interested in this comparison as well. What projectors have you seen that are better (when it comes to more compact and possibly portable projectors?). Trying to find the best "bang for your buck" projector, that is of a smaller size
I hope mini laser tvs/Ultra short throws will become a thing. Would be so much easier to carry around, set up in a pinch and becomes your massive screen you can take with you whenever you're travelling. I recon mini UST/Laser tvs will be really common because how convenient and mobile they are compared to big hulking delicate tvs.
Wonderful review, I'm trying to ask Richer Sounds to stock it. Can you tell me if the projector is 8-bit or 10-bit? I can't find this info online anywhere
Another youtuber said there's a game mode. It's 12ms for games. It's under Settings >> Picture Mode >> Game. He said if you change to game mode, you will need to increase the brightness and contrast.
Thanks for the great review. How does this compare to the XGIMI Halo Plus for brightness and picture quality? I'm trying to decide between these two projectors and your opinion on this would be great! Thanks again.
I bought one of these based on this review. I have to say the sound is very good but the picture isn't a patch on my Xgimi halo. The Halo leaves it in the dust! I was expecting a lot more, maybe I expected too much but I am left disappointed.
Looks great. Will be interesting to hear in a follow-up how well it travels. The lag makes it a dud for any serious gaming, but fun to setup for a quick cinema night. Just curious what version of Android it runs and what the cost is for it?
Really good and informative video.... I know is a too specific question but can it be used as business/work presentation projector? In your video it looks like it can do a pretty good job.. which is the definitive sales point for me :) I am a bit paranoid about buying anything online outside Amazon, is Nothing Web service reliable ? Thanks for the video from a new subscriber
Hi! Thx for this review, I bought this projector and I love it. Just one question : what netflix APK did you put on it from Aptoide? I tried many of them, and none properly runs...
Could you give information about food? It's via usbc, but could you charge it directly from a powerbank for example? in the official distributor they say no.
Hello, my english isn't very good, can i ask this thing again. How much is imput lag of this projecter? Does it feel? does something change after turning on the game mode? If i get reply i can translate it
@@SaabUnleashed I think you are in the UK which would explain the customs problem. EU residents would probably be better off with shipping from the EU warehouse to avoid customs fees, correct?
@@SaabUnleashed it screwed us too, in some ways. I used to order from some UK shops online but it makes no sense anymore - I think clothing is one of the only products not affected by Brexit (or they have done some magic to keep the supply flowing in this direction without it affecting prices). for EU buyers I can vouch for the EU warehouse - I ordered over the weekend, it shipped via UPS to Germany on Monday, and it was out for delivery on Wednesday. No customs/VAT issues. It shipped from Poland.
I have a question and I would love that someone could answer it. I'm a bit limited on where I can put the projector so before I buy it I need to know what are the maximum angles both horizontal and vertical that the projector can correct automatically. Is that information in the manual? If not, can someone tell me more or less those values? Thanks!
thanks for the video bought one from same place it has 2 options i need explaining if anyone can help. one is "image motion compensation"(off low med high) and "MEMC" (off low med high) what are the differences of the 2? from my brief reading, i thought they were both the same thing
I discovered that too, and I don't understand it either. I have found other settings in multiple locations though, so maybe it IS the same thing, just labeled inconsistently? I'm not crazy about the UX on the machine, but I am still getting to know it, and have never had a projector before in the first place so I'm a complete noob with respect to refining all these settings.
received this projector.good. But I saw a big problem. Like full dots when watching movies and photos through pen drive. I don't know how to say it correctly. Looks like pixels. The face is not smooth at all. So I watched the movie again on my old projector. I watch 90% movies from pendrive and hard disk. I have no use for this projector. Will you give it a try?
This Device on its own does not support Netflix. We need an external Device like a fire stick or apple TV etc to access Netflix. I wish that wasn't the case....because the portability aspect gets that much more inconvenient. Also auto keystone isn't that great. We need to do some manual adjustments every time and that's a pain
Yes, tried to place order. Kept saying could not ship to my address. I emailed them and was told they cannot ship to UK as there is a different distributer for UK, but did not give details. Have tried searching but cannot find anything.
Great video! Have you got a chance to compare it to the new Mogo 2 Pro? I mean image quality (brightness and sharpness). It also has 3D capability, which I would use. But I am really in doubt, because I value IQ the most. Cheers from Rio!
You are the first reviewer I've found to pair a projector to a stereo receiver via bluetooth - woot! This is precisely what I want to do, so my question is: can anyone say which codecs are supported? I have LDAP, aptx-HD and aptx-LL, works great with my laptop and phone but this would be my first projector, so I'm totally out of my depth.
@@SaabUnleashed bahhhhhhh. Thank you so much for the reply - that was my fear. But no matter, I pulled the trigger on my order about an hour ago and I'm still excited regardless of any bluetooth imperfections :)
@@SaabUnleashed I am not disappointed :) I am also happy to report that with my system, bluetooth to my stereo has barely perceivable delay which has been acceptable so far. I find the built in speaker good for the size, but I definitely want to use my stereo for movies to get some semblance of a sound stage and more volume. I will probably connect my disc player directly to the stereo in the end, but I'm relieved the wireless solution is working well enough, for now. now I just need a good portable screen. I think I will go for 1.0 gain for lack of more spiffy options, but if you have any tips in this direction please share!
Hi, what are your thoughts on the Fengmi X1 projector? It's a small projector but with 1400 Ansi lumens. Could you try to get your hands on one and do a comparison video between the X1 and S5 please?

How does this compare against the nebula cosmos 4k or nebula capsule 3 and xgimi halo ?
great review. Can you review and compare it to Formovie R1 Nano? It's a portable short throw projector
This projector is also good😍
Nice review. How you compare to other projectors in terms of contrast?
The contrast is great, although not the best I've seen

Did he turn off Auto keystone?. If he did that the latency in game mode should be much lower and also turn on hdmi 2.1 in console settings.
Do formovie s5 have hdmi arc? I can conect devices in receiver and send the vídeo to formovie?
It's not 1080p Native - it's 720p, using pixel shifting upscaling to 1080p !!!
And that's fucked up, to claim a native resolution, when it's physically not there...
Where can I confirm this? Almost purchased this projector but this is giving me pause. Looking for true 1080p
@boyangles6405 but it's has true 1080p. This works on 720p at 240hz that's 4x 720p creates 1080p 60hz 😉
Its not even 720p its 540p
Where can this be confirmed… first time I’ve seen this
I bought one of these based on this review. I have to say the sound is very good but the picture isn't a patch on my Xgimi halo.
The Halo leaves it in the dust!
I was expecting a lot more, maybe I expected too much but I am left disappointed.
Thank you, I'll be waiting for halo plus deals then as I was already considering to buy this one.
Hi, I update the firmware but I regret. How undone? Install the old firmware version ?

Hi! Thx for this review, I bought this projector and I love it. Just one question : what netflix APK did you put on it from Aptoide? I tried many of them, and none properly runs...
Nice. Are there different versions? Because I saw a further, newer review too and in this the projector did have a dedicated game mode.
No pun intended but it looks brilliant. A worthy consideration when it comes time to change my TV. Thanks.
Could you give information about food? It's via usbc, but could you charge it directly from a powerbank for example? in the official distributor they say no.
I know the official charger has a high power output but I will test this. I can't imagine a powerbank would last very long
@@SaabUnleashed high powered? how much exactly?
It does with a 66w power bank and 30000mah. It lasts 2h and a half ...perfect for movie
What is the best non portable projector for this price at the moment?
Hi, can you please tell me that can I share my Samsung device screen to this projectior without having any dongle or other device? Thanks.
Hi, what screen would you recommand? white / grey / black screen? thanks a lot
Formovie s5 or dangbei atom pls help ??

thanks for the video

it has 2 options i need explaining if anyone can help.
one is "image motion compensation"(off low med high)
and "MEMC" (off low med high)
what are the differences of the 2?

I would like to buy it. I have the distance between the wall and the projector 2 m only. What size hat the screen? 65 inch or more?
I showed this towards the end of the video
Where do you download the Projectivy Launcher from?
So basically it's the Elfin
Are keystone correction and zoom optical corrections?
received this projector.good.
But I saw a big problem.
Like full dots when watching movies and photos through pen drive.
I don't know how to say it correctly.
Looks like pixels.
The face is not smooth at all.
So I watched the movie again on my old projector.
I watch 90% movies from pendrive and hard disk.
I have no use for this projector.
Will you give it a try?
I have yet to see this because I don’t own a laser projector but from what I’ve seen it’s called laser speckle

can it project vertically on the ceiling? is there a way to clean it if dust gets inside?
Yes it can project on the ceiling and i haven't had dust in it to worry about opening it
a question? How do I change the date and time?
Have you tried byintek r17 pro?
