Hi Guys! Check the newest video review for VAVA 4k black edition, ua-cam.com/video/ZZVqXOM8bXo/v-deo.html Now it comes with 3D, ceiling mounts and it have some extra features added over software updates.
I have the Xiaomi Wemax pro and I noticed on some movie content the color is washed out. However, I can adjust it somewhat but it's not quite accurate. Also, the lag time is over 100 ms and it's not good for gaming. How fast is the VAVA?
Thank you for this great comparison. I am still stunned how accurate, professional and interesting your work is! Please keep your fantastic an appreciated reviews as perfect as they are and i hope you will get a lot of subscibers.
Mister Sunny Thank you so much for your wonderfull comment my friend! People like you give me inspiration, will and positive energy to stay on UA-cam and continue my work. I wish you all the best mate and thank you again.
@@NexiTech well, i thought you have to be a great guy, but i was wrong: You are grand! Thank you for your response. This world really needs more people like you. Happy new year and all the best for you, pal!
It's a nice projector but it cost 3000 dollars or 2570 Euros. That is a lot compare to Xiaomi Laser projector and with minimal difference in Quality.actually I could buy two Xiaomi Projectors for that price. Thank you for your video. Very professional.
I watched your video for the Xiaomi some time ago. You showed up on my recommendation. Very informative and super clean video. Have now subscribed! Thank you
Thank you so much for such a nice and kind words, wish you all the best mate! P.S. Just checked your channel, you have some very nice videos as well, keep it up.
Missing some details - like the remote control technologies, iR or RF, backlit keys. Bluetooth version. Remote via WLAN. USB Port Generation and how it "behaves" when add to a switch - fast enough to use it for 4K from an HDD/SSD/stick. Is the GB Ethernet limited like it was on so many (older) android devices. Well sometimes details matter too. A nice and unbiased review though. I'd like to see more in the future especially comparisons that factor in stuff like the initial cost/price, cost by power consumption, warranty, availability "promise" for spare and "service" parts. No comparisons necessary for very different models - of course a 30 000 US$ player will perform differently. On the other hand a much "cheaper" outlier should be very positively mentioned.
Александр Тишков The lag is high 90/100ms pretty much the same as other UST laser projectors om the market regardless of price point. These type of projectors are not made for FPS games.
@Teddy Dreyfus as a gamer for over 40 years I can tell you that most TVs have a 90Ms + input lag so unless you are playing on an expensive monitor that's what you are experiencing now, it's not too bad, is it? but I would wait until they have the tek more refined and the price goes down this is still pre alpha stuff. but if you have the money by a nice 65 inch OLED with low input lag.
Alot of people ask me about input lag and gaming and I told myself: Ok that's it I'm getting a game console! Yesterday I go out and brought a PS4 pro, to test input lag in real life screnario(during gaming). When I got home I connect everything, set it up,download a few games and try it out. Let me tell you that input lag is not that bad at all, controller feels responsive and gaming on this huge screen and projector was very cool. So far I try out a few games, NFS Payback, Hitmen, Far cry 4, Assassin's Creed Odyssey, and a few free demo FPS games(don't know the names right now I will check it later and edit the comment). Anyway, I got to tell you that gaming on this projector and ps4 pro was very cool experiance! Huge screen in 4K with awesome graphic... It was just wow! Games look fantastic and the gameplay was very nice. At first I did not noticed any high input lag so I played for a few hours and then I took my 27 inch monitor(4ms) and do a comparison between projector and the monitor. First I played on the monitor for a 10 minutes then I switch to the projector and then again for the few cycles. At first I did felt a tiny bit of lag on the projector compared to the monitor, but then my brain adjust to it and I played normaly again, so for casual games and single player games, input lag is not that big of a deal in my opinion. Of course am not a hard core gamer on the console controller and for me playing FPS games(shooting and aiming) on the controller is really hard and slow compare to the mouse and keyboard( I'm PC gamer). So I definatly need time to get used to it. Of course I wil test out more games and soon I will make a seprate video review only about gaming on this projector but so far not bad at all.
Hi, I never use the presets in any TVs or projectors, I calibrate the settings in the dark, using a thx calibration, or a test pattern, the presets are not correct, I like to see a correctly adjusted picture. Regards Gary, cheers
Nice review.. I have the Xiaomi 1080p short throw projector, and i find it suffers badly with a rainbow effect, especially when watching the motion of stars in something like Star Wars. Do either of the 4k projectors suffer this same problem? Thanks.
Hello Nexi Tech, you have tested and compared the VAVA 4K, Wemax A300 4K and Xiaomi 4K projectors. In your opinion which one did you find the best to be used on a 120 '' Floor Rising ALR Projection Screen?
André Melo They are all working very good with 120inch floor rising ALR screen but I would give slight advantage to the Vava just because it's the more brighter projector. It's not like day and night difference but it is noticeable especially when ambient light is present. If you watching movies in more darker room or with low ambient light then Xiaomi Milja 4k laser projector will work just fine.
Would love to have side by side real world footage with some standard LED TV during daytime. Last time I've played with projectoras `3 years ago and all of them were sucks regardless of price point. I use 80inch LED since then but would be happy to get 150inch if performance is comparable.
Hey I’ve also been waiting for that comparison. All things tech did one 5 days ago here’s the link ua-cam.com/video/qDiMCGVsKJ8/v-deo.html however I’m still waiting to see more comparisons before deciding.
You keep saying that the vava has a much better image, with more details, but if you look at your own video, it looks like the xiaomi does better in low light, showing more details. Look at Tom Cruises hair for instance in the scene where he is tied up... I can see much more on the Xiaomi compared to the Vava. Also, the Vava is 1000USD+ more than the Xiaomi...
Great review. Short and concise. So both the Xiaomi and Vava do not have native Netflix support. You recommend tv boxes but do you also have experience with the Chromecast or Chromecast Ultra. Will that setup allow for 4K playback?
Lesswanted Sure, 1. Input lag 100-110ms 2. Price 2799$ 3. 18.2cm/7.2" for 100" screen 4. 2 weeks when is available. You welcomed my friend. Thanks for watching!
Love your videos! After watching this I bought VAVA 4k. I have issues with the HDR content in amazon, disney+, and netflix. With HDR it is very dark and with HDR off the quality looks like it is muddied(loss of color and vibrancy). It is updated to the latest firmware. Any solutions would be amazing. Thank you for what you do, you have an amazing talent with your videos. Thanks!
Why you did the comparison VAVA 4k vs Xiaomi Milja 4k and not VAVA vs A300? I think it was more fair. But at least you could do one if you have time. And btw - awesome reviews - you are close to perfection with all the details. Respect!
Amazing review, I’m looking at An UST projector as an option to upgrade m’y Telly. Does it need any maintenance? The lifespan is 25,000. Does it mean the projector needs to be trash and buy a new one or one element from the projector can be replaced to extend the lifespan of the projector? Thanks in advance for your reply
Great Review! How does the Vava hold up to something like the LG HU85LA-4K-UHD-Laser-Ultra-Short-Throw Projector? I know its two completely companies, but was curious if the Vava holds its ground?
Are you really sure that the Vava has more accurate colour compared to the input? Those examples you showed at the end of the video seem to me that they could show more artificial colours on the Vava. But I don't know. What was the input like?
very nice. good job! after watching your Xiaomi movie, i bought the 4K Xiaomi for a project for a client. Very nice to hear, there is a projector with better colors. When i tried the Xiaomi at my home, i projected directly to the wall. The problem is that my wall is not perfectly flat. it has some little ripples. the projection-angle of this short throw projectors is so steep, that even this small ripples on the wall throw a little shadow. These little shadows look like little black points in the projected picture. So it looks like the resolution wouldn't be good. not enough pixels. But of course, it's only the shadows of my walls surface. Now my question to you. In my opinion, it is very cool to have a projector at home. i don't have a TV or a frame on my wall, while i'm not using the projector. You have a permanent screen installed at your wall at home. Is there any solution for a good "pull-down projection-screen" extra for short throw projectors?
Hej bästa:) Om jag planerar att spendera ca 20000kr på en tv som är 65 tum idag mellan 20-25 beroende på om jag tar lg65cx eller gx modellen. Om jag handlar idag och istället tar en liknande projektor med minst 80 tum gärna större. Vad rekommenderar du vad skulle vara kostnaden? Jag förstår att jag får kompromissa en del på svärta men storlek och smidighet av denna typ av projektor är helt fenomenalt! Min förra var ju en dlp och om jag slipper en takmonterat pjäs med extremt lång hdmi kabel mm så är detta ett stort plus. Jag gillar idén att bilden skjuts nedifrån uppåt då jag tidigare har haft motordriven i taket som estetiskt inte tilltalar i vårt v-rum. Vore ju najs att kunna möblera som du gjort med fin möbel på det sättet för att få det att se ut som att inte allt fokus är på just ”tv-området”. Att tona ner det och när det väl gäller så finns det ändå kapacitet 😊 Uppskattar om du kan ge mig några förslag. Får man fråga i vilket område du bor i Sverige? Bor själv i Stockholms trakten
nice video mate. In the beginning 1:08 the Vava projector's box says it has support for DTS HDa nd dolby audio. which version of DTS and Dolby is supported by Vava when compared to xiaomi 4k?
Potentially dumb question, but can this be ceiling mounted? Would be nice to get rid of the cabinet entirely and use the whole wall without putting it on the floor.
Is it possible to use the built-in speaker as an active or passive center-speaker in a 5.1-system? Sony does something similar with the KD-65AF9-OLED-TV
Also do you know where I can buy this from? Says it's unavailable on Amazon , how much was it? It would also be great if you tested some console gaming too :)
They both use same hardware. It's only about factory color calibration and some passive electronic components quality. Have you calibrated the Xiaomi you are using here ? The screen / image lighting the room is a definitive no go for me, specialy with an ALR.
Hi friend good review however you should provide the compression between vava and the latest model of xiaomi and not with old models Mean you already have wemax a300 you should make a comparison between this model and vava as the picture and shape. We request you kindly to provide the compression between VAVA and Wemax a300 in order to provide fo the reviewer a fair comparison VAVA 4K vs WEMAX A300 4K Looking forward to hear from you very soon
Thanks my friend, I'm sorry but I disagree. My Xiaomi laser projector from the video (MJJGTYDS01FM) is the latest 4k laser projector from the Xiaomi 2019 model (6 months old). Wemax A300 is basically the same re-branded Xiaomi projector with the same number of lasers, with the same power output, with the same software(only added 8 points keystone), in the same case(only front cover is changed) etc. They only difference in terms picture quality between Xiaomi 4k and Wemax A300 is that Wemax A300 comes differently calibrated out from the box but with added too much brightness in the software on all picture profiles, which makes dark scenes in the movies with high contrast to look more washed out. If you own Wemax A300 try to lower the brightness in the movie picture profile from 50 to 47 for example and you will see what I mean. You will get much better contrast and deeper blacks level then on stock profiles. Also the problem is that Wemax a300 cost the same as the VAVA or even more. That's why comparing VAVA 4k with the Xiaomi 4k Laser projector is making much more sense because the price point and the real difference between hardware and software between these projectors. In this case buyers can choose between more costly VAVA projector which has more powerful laser output, better calibrated colors but with no 3D support(for now), compare to the Xiaomi 4k which has less laser power output with slightly less calibrated colors, better audio software and with the 3D support.
@@kuriwar Check out his A300 comparison and see the lumes output..or just compare the a300/xiaomi 4k image quality differences in that video, which are tiny and then look at this video again and you see that the vava seems to outperform the a300 as well.
Many thanks for the reply however I already change the brightness from 50 to 40 and still the picture is amazing on the wemax a300 weather with 4k hdr or 1080 or 720 it's still better than the TV I mean I dont own VAVA but if you need to close the issue with other people you have to make the compression between vava and wemax a300 as I remember you already own one so you can make this comparison Looking forward to hear from you very soon
For anyone considering this type of setup, I'm here to tell you a few downsides of this setup. First consider your floor material before buying. The UST screen doesn't do Jack with my white floor tiles lol. Even with all the windows blinds closed is still far from what would you get on a TV screen. So if you have gloossy floor I would reconsider. You would also not have the same results with the lights on unless your floor is black, your ceiling light will bounce off the floor on to your screen, I would say results about 80% of when you have lights completely off. I also have a Mibox S 4k for my xiaomi 4k projector, somehow the projector doesnt interpret Netflix properly (dont know if its the box or projector). The projector fades the blacks if you are watching a movie thats mostly night, dark scenes or a have film grade its barely watchable. But it is better on the other apps like Disney plus and youtube. If anyone else having this issue let me know. Input lag seem to be around half a second, overcooked on the switch was not a pleasant experience. Overall my experience is these projectors perform mindblowing well during day time scenes like the costa rica youtube video its jaws dropping, night scenes is very lacking blacks are just not there, if you are consuming HD none 4k content it seems less impressive than on a normal TV.
@@JoelsterG4k Well, it is a UST ALR screen reject light from the top and sides only receive from the bottom. i dont have problem with light coming from top or sides my floor tiles are reflecting light from the bottom.
Nexi! please try to get your hands on the new Xiaomi Mijia Laser Projector 1S 4K Version to review (released yesteday 6/9/2020) it looks like it will be the best ust laser to get! 4k native and 30% brighter!. Still under 3,000 USD!
Thanks! Alot of people ask me about input lag and gaming and I told myself: Ok that's it I'm getting a game console! Yesterday I go out and brought a PS4 pro, to test input lag in real life screnario(during gaming). When I got home I connect everything, set it up,download a few games and try it out. Let me tell you that input lag is not that bad at all, controller feels responsive and gaming on this huge screen and projector was very cool. So far I try out a few games, NFS Payback, Hitmen, Far cry 4, Assassin's Creed Odyssey, and a few free demo FPS games(don't know the names right now I will check it later and edit the comment). Anyway, I got to tell you that gaming on this projector and ps4 pro was very cool experiance! Huge screen in 4K with awesome graphic... It was just wow! Games look fantastic and the gameplay was very nice. At first I did not noticed any high input lag so I played for a few hours and then I took my 27 inch monitor(4ms) and do a comparison between projector and the monitor.

So I definatly need time to get used to it. Of course I wil test out more games and soon I will make a seprate video review only about gaming on this projector but so far not bad at all.
Hi, very good review thats for that! I really think about to replace our TV (75 inc) but it need to break first :) But still have questions to you, I try to get information about your screen, I click on your Alibabalinks, but they did not work for me, are they outdated? Can you provide new links? As far as I can see you are using the 100 or 120 inc screen? What is about 120 or 150 inc ? Is there also high quality screen I could buy? Or will quality be lower because of the 150 inc size? I think about to use 120/150 inc screen with the vava 4K or xiaomi, any advice here? We have very simmilar livingroom setup as you have. How far away it need to be for 120/150 inc from the wall? I saw 7,2 inc for 100 inc only in the specs. Also it is really worth 1500$ vs xiaomi more for extra brightness - a bit besser quality or is it really that diffrent? Thanks!
The description says you get an $800 discount when ordering the screen with the projector on Amazon. I am at checkout and am not seeing this discount. How can I apply it?
I will never understand why they put speakers inside those projectors...when you have the cash to pay for these projector you have the sound system to go along, not some crappy speakers. And the price would be lower without these integrated speakers.
Beside used for home cinema, these projectors are very good TV replacements as well and many people will use inbuilt speakers for 80% of the time. Not everyone just watches movies all day long and listen surround sound system on very loud volume. For the record, I did not say that speakers are bad, I just said that speakers lack the low and deep bass compare to my Xiaomi laser projector because VAVA lack surround sound effect and equalizer in software audio settings. Speakers in VAVA produce very clean and balanced sound and they can go very loud. Most of the people will be very happy with the inbuilt speakers for sure.
It makes more sense than a standard throw projector which also commonly have speakers. At least with ultra short throw the speaker is in front of you. Yes, they suck in comparison but not completely useless.
Hi There! I have been watching some of your videos and I was interested in putting together a kit for the bedroom. But the hotlinks in your previous videos about the mechanized drop-down ALR screens are not going anywhere anymore. So first I wanted to ask if you know of a Ceiling-mounted laser projector and electrical drop-down ALR screen that does around 55" diagonal (not enough ceiling for bigger :( ).If they also delivered to the UK that be fantastic! Much appreciated!
Hi. I can't find comparison between Epson EB-L400U and Epson 6050UB for home theater. Could you tell something about it? (black levels, HDR?, absence of "4K" resolution, laser technology advantages) Thanks.
I dunno even though this projector has better stats I prefer the picture on the xiaomi. The vava looks to have pictures that are too orange. The skin tone is too saturated doesn’t look correct to me. The orange skin tone would drive me crazy. I have a 4K tv like that and it looks very bad. Btw what happened to that huge screen you have that rolls up off the floor?
it's so expensive, I found one on Amazon for $2800 u.s. dollars and with AEON 100 inches screen is $3600, since I've already had a sound system, I say a total not too fancy theater set up could easily cost $6000 u.s. dollars. That's too rich for most folks.
I assume that's because it's too expensive to make for it to cost as much as a regular short throw. They could be consumer standard in the next several years, at least that would be my guess.
Interface and Hardware very similar to the Xiaomi Wemax. I have the Version2 (the box that came after the white one) But this does not seem like a giant upgrade from my Wemax. Is there an 8K version?
Great Review and so I bought one. However, the menu screen seems to be out of focus no matter how I adjust it. Does your unit look like it is out of focus as well? I have a Xiaomi before this and the Xiaomi menu is much cleaner and focus. Since it is out of focus on the menu, I couldn't help but feel not satisfied with the movie picture quality. I may have a defective unit?
Bad Ninja No at all, In the settings there is electro focus and I adjusted it. My VAVA projector is crystal sharp. You said that your Electronic focus is not working? Maybe it was damaged in shipping. Contact customer service your VAVA projector have warranty.
Very good review videos. Well done. I have a question for you for me to decide which one to buy. Because i want to spend my money right. Which one is better in terms of price/performance scale? Xiaomi mijia 4k/fengmi 4k/wemax a300/vava 4k
MaZEEZaM Thank you! I believe those clips with fish tank are from Cyprus. All these cinematic 4K clips are from IRISS32 free website. Check video description for more amazing clips from Frederick Tschernutter work.
I think you should also give a review on LG hu85la if possible. I know it can't be compared to this specially with the price point but there's no good reviews on LG hu85la on youtube so far.
That is a custom stands from IKEA and it was a cheapest and only option that I could find at the moment, as my ceiling is a bit lower there in basement. These items you can mix on their website and make them as you pleased. They called ''Nordli'' here in Sweden. Here is the link: www.ikea.com/se/sv/planner/nordli-planner/#custom

Kindly also do a price comparison. Comparing isn’t complete unless prices are compared to.

Would be awesome to compare with Fengmi 4K Pro which came out....when it is available of course....

It would be good if you could compare this too the lg hu85la or optoma p1
I've been waiting on sum1 to make this Video for a long time too
Looking forward to this also
Excellent review and very well presented. I immediately subscribed. Thankyou!
Great review, as usual. Lots of great information
You keep saying that the vava has a much better image, with more details, but if you look at your own video, it looks like the xiaomi does better in low light, showing more details. Look at Tom Cruises hair for instance in the scene where he is tied up... I can see much more on the Xiaomi compared to the Vava.
Also, the Vava is 1000USD+ more than the Xiaomi...
Great review. Short and concise.
So both the Xiaomi and Vava do not have native Netflix support.
You recommend tv boxes but do you also have experience with the Chromecast or Chromecast Ultra. Will that setup allow for 4K playback?
Could you comment on:
1-lag input for gaming.
2- price.
3- wall space separation.
4-delivery time.
Thanks for your amazing videos.
Lesswanted Sure,
1. Input lag 100-110ms
2. Price 2799$
3. 18.2cm/7.2" for 100" screen
4. 2 weeks when is available.
You welcomed my friend.
Thanks for watching!
Nexi Tech thanks , still doubting because of the price and input. But the picture quality is amazing.
Love your videos! After watching this I bought VAVA 4k. I have issues with the HDR content in amazon, disney+, and netflix. With HDR it is very dark and with HDR off the quality looks like it is muddied(loss of color and vibrancy). It is updated to the latest firmware. Any solutions would be amazing. Thank you for what you do, you have an amazing talent with your videos. Thanks!
What about a comparison of the Vava and the Optoma P1, which is better? Please need help to decide
Vava is notorious for having horrible support. I was considering purchasing until I saw all the negative comments on their Facebook page.
Why you did the comparison VAVA 4k vs Xiaomi Milja 4k and not VAVA vs A300? I think it was more fair. But at least you could do one if you have time. And btw - awesome reviews - you are close to perfection with all the details. Respect!
Amazing review, I’m looking at An UST projector as an option to upgrade m’y Telly.
Does it need any maintenance? The lifespan is 25,000. Does it mean the projector needs to be trash and buy a new one or one element from the projector can be replaced to extend the lifespan of the projector?
Thanks in advance for your reply
Thanks for the review. What screen are you using? Thank you
In your opinion, do you think the Vava is worth the extra almost $1000 compared to the Xiaomi?
Great Review! How does the Vava hold up to something like the LG HU85LA-4K-UHD-Laser-Ultra-Short-Throw Projector? I know its two completely companies, but was curious if the Vava holds its ground?
Are you really sure that the Vava has more accurate colour compared to the input? Those examples you showed at the end of the video seem to me that they could show more artificial colours on the Vava. But I don't know. What was the input like?
very nice. good job!
after watching your Xiaomi movie, i bought the 4K Xiaomi for a project for a client. Very nice to hear, there is a projector with better colors.
When i tried the Xiaomi at my home, i projected directly to the wall. The problem is that my wall is not perfectly flat. it has some little ripples.
the projection-angle of this short throw projectors is so steep, that even this small ripples on the wall throw a little shadow.
These little shadows look like little black points in the projected picture. So it looks like the resolution wouldn't be good. not enough pixels. But of course, it's only the shadows of my walls surface.
Now my question to you.
In my opinion, it is very cool to have a projector at home. i don't have a TV or a frame on my wall, while i'm not using the projector.
You have a permanent screen installed at your wall at home.
Is there any solution for a good "pull-down projection-screen" extra for short throw projectors?
Hej bästa:)
Om jag planerar att spendera ca 20000kr på en tv som är 65 tum idag mellan 20-25 beroende på om jag tar lg65cx eller gx modellen.
Om jag handlar idag och istället tar en liknande projektor med minst 80 tum gärna större. Vad rekommenderar du vad skulle vara kostnaden?
Jag förstår att jag får kompromissa en del på svärta men storlek och smidighet av denna typ av projektor är helt fenomenalt!
Min förra var ju en dlp och om jag slipper en takmonterat pjäs med extremt lång hdmi kabel mm så är detta ett stort plus.
Jag gillar idén att bilden skjuts nedifrån uppåt då jag tidigare har haft motordriven i taket som estetiskt inte tilltalar i vårt v-rum.
Vore ju najs att kunna möblera som du gjort med fin möbel på det sättet för att få det att se ut som att inte allt fokus är på just ”tv-området”. Att tona ner det och när det väl gäller så finns det ändå kapacitet 😊
Uppskattar om du kan ge mig några förslag.

What about a match between this one vs the wemax a300, I’m still deciding which is the best thank you
Me too
@@engee4301 VAVA is very good!
Me too
Yeah, I would like to have this match too
what price, what goods, wemax and xiaomi are both old projector, launched to market 2 years ago, this vava is a new projector
Did you use the newer xiaomi 1S projector for comparision? 1S is brighter than the original 4k projector.
Hi greetings from France, thanks lot for this test, I have purchased Fengmi WEMAX A300 is the Vava is better ? your opinion ? merci
nice video mate. In the beginning 1:08 the Vava projector's box says it has support for DTS HDa nd dolby audio. which version of DTS and Dolby is supported by Vava when compared to xiaomi 4k?
Nice bro,so how do you change the laser , after the life span ended and any idea about the cost ?
Potentially dumb question, but can this be ceiling mounted? Would be nice to get rid of the cabinet entirely and use the whole wall without putting it on the floor.
Thanks for the video. What's the deal with the Optomas 2.5 million to 1 contrast ratio. Why is there such a big difference !
Amazingly detailed review! 👏👏👏
You are very professional. Thank you
What sort of screen- affordable- would you recommend for laser projector ? Than you
Is it possible to use the built-in speaker as an active or passive center-speaker in a 5.1-system? Sony does something similar with the KD-65AF9-OLED-TV
Also do you know where I can buy this from? Says it's unavailable on Amazon , how much was it?
It would also be great if you tested some console gaming too :)
They both use same hardware. It's only about factory color calibration and some passive electronic components quality. Have you calibrated the Xiaomi you are using here ? The screen / image lighting the room is a definitive no go for me, specialy with an ALR.
Nice review and i like the Vava. I am living in Sweden and wonder how much is the charge (Tull and Moms) to import a Laser Projector?
Thank you very much!!!! Super cool comparison. Will also consider to buy a Vava now 😉
the Harman Cardon Speaker inside seems not bad, good projector also needs a good PET crystal screen
Maybe you could make an update when the 3D comes out. That's one of the most important features for big screens.
stratogustav That's good idea.
Hi friend good review however you should provide the compression between vava and the latest model of xiaomi and not with old models
Mean you already have wemax a300 you should make a comparison between this model and vava as the picture and shape.
We request you kindly to provide the compression between VAVA and Wemax a300 in order to provide fo the reviewer a fair comparison
VAVA 4K vs WEMAX A300 4K
Looking forward to hear from you very soon
Thanks my friend, I'm sorry but I disagree.
My Xiaomi laser projector from the video (MJJGTYDS01FM) is the latest 4k laser projector from the Xiaomi 2019 model (6 months old). Wemax A300 is basically the same re-branded Xiaomi projector with the same number of lasers, with the same power output, with the same software(only added 8 points keystone), in the same case(only front cover is changed) etc. They only difference in terms picture quality between Xiaomi 4k and Wemax A300 is that Wemax A300 comes differently calibrated out from the box but with added too much brightness in the software on all picture profiles, which makes dark scenes in the movies with high contrast to look more washed out. If you own Wemax A300 try to lower the brightness in the movie picture profile from 50 to 47 for example and you will see what I mean. You will get much better contrast and deeper blacks level then on stock profiles. Also the problem is that Wemax a300 cost the same as the VAVA or even more. That's why comparing VAVA 4k with the Xiaomi 4k Laser projector is making much more sense because the price point and the real difference between hardware and software between these projectors. In this case buyers can choose between more costly VAVA projector which has more powerful laser output, better calibrated colors but with no 3D support(for now), compare to the Xiaomi 4k which has less laser power output with slightly less calibrated colors, better audio software and with the 3D support.
@@NexiTech In the description page it says that the Wemax A300 has 9000 lumens and 4000:1 contrast ratio. is that not true?
@@kuriwar Check out his A300 comparison and see the lumes output..or just compare the a300/xiaomi 4k image quality differences in that video, which are tiny and then look at this video again and you see that the vava seems to outperform the a300 as well.
Many thanks for the reply however I already change the brightness from 50 to 40 and still the picture is amazing on the wemax a300 weather with 4k hdr or 1080 or 720 it's still better than the TV
I mean I dont own VAVA but if you need to close the issue with other people you have to make the compression between vava and wemax a300 as I remember you already own one so you can make this comparison
Looking forward to hear from you very soon
Mohammed Hindi He answered you extensively, please read it again.
Ur reviews are very nice..and show u care abt what u do....subscribed
And am buying tht vava 4k
Will look for the android box too
Thank you so much my friend! Check the new video VAVA ua-cam.com/video/ZZVqXOM8bXo/v-deo.html
For anyone considering this type of setup, I'm here to tell you a few downsides of this setup.
First consider your floor material before buying. The UST screen doesn't do Jack with my white floor tiles lol. Even with all the windows blinds closed is still far from what would you get on a TV screen. So if you have gloossy floor I would reconsider. You would also not have the same results with the lights on unless your floor is black, your ceiling light will bounce off the floor on to your screen, I would say results about 80% of when you have lights completely off.
I also have a Mibox S 4k for my xiaomi 4k projector, somehow the projector doesnt interpret Netflix properly (dont know if its the box or projector). The projector fades the blacks if you are watching a movie thats mostly night, dark scenes or a have film grade its barely watchable. But it is better on the other apps like Disney plus and youtube. If anyone else having this issue let me know.
Input lag seem to be around half a second, overcooked on the switch was not a pleasant experience.
Overall my experience is these projectors perform mindblowing well during day time scenes like the costa rica youtube video its jaws dropping, night scenes is very lacking blacks are just not there, if you are consuming HD none 4k content it seems less impressive than on a normal TV.
For these projectors use an ALR screen and you will see much better results.
@@JoelsterG4k Well, it is a UST ALR screen reject light from the top and sides only receive from the bottom.
i dont have problem with light coming from top or sides my floor tiles are reflecting light from the bottom.
Nexi! please try to get your hands on the new Xiaomi Mijia Laser Projector 1S 4K Version to review (released yesteday 6/9/2020) it looks like it will be the best ust laser to get! 4k native and 30% brighter!. Still under 3,000 USD!
What's the best ultra short projector right now?
IT shouldn't be more expensive than 2.5k 😊 thank you.
Loved the review. Just missing information/comparison about gaming behavior....but tks anyway.
Thanks! Alot of people ask me about input lag and gaming and I told myself: Ok that's it I'm getting a game console!
Yesterday I go out and brought a PS4 pro, to test input lag in real life screnario(during gaming). When I got home I connect everything, set it up,download a few games and try it out. Let me tell you that input lag is not that bad at all, controller feels responsive and gaming on this huge screen and projector was very cool. So far I try out a few games, NFS Payback, Hitmen, Far cry 4, Assassin's Creed Odyssey, and a few free demo FPS games(don't know the names right now I will check it later and edit the comment). Anyway, I got to tell you that gaming on this projector and ps4 pro was very cool experiance! Huge screen in 4K with awesome graphic... It was just wow! Games look fantastic and the gameplay was very nice. At first I did not noticed any high input lag so I played for a few hours and then I took my 27 inch monitor(4ms) and do a comparison between projector and the monitor. First I played on the monitor for a 10 minutes then I switch to the projector and then again for the few cycles. At first I did felt a tiny bit of lag on the projector compared to the monitor, but then my brain adjust to it and I played normaly again, so for casual games and single player games, input lag is not that big of a deal in my opinion. Of course am not a hard core gamer on the console controller and for me playing FPS games(shooting and aiming) on the controller is really hard and slow compare to the mouse and keyboard( I'm PC gamer). So I definatly need time to get used to it. Of course I wil test out more games and soon I will make a seprate video review only about gaming on this projector but so far not bad at all.
Excellent review !!! VAVA wins !
Thanks! Please check the new review video: ua-cam.com/video/ZZVqXOM8bXo/v-deo.html
Hi, very good review thats for that! I really think about to replace our TV (75 inc) but it need to break first :)
But still have questions to you, I try to get information about your screen, I click on your Alibabalinks, but they did not work for me, are they outdated? Can you provide new links?
As far as I can see you are using the 100 or 120 inc screen? What is about 120 or 150 inc ? Is there also high quality screen I could buy? Or will quality be lower because of the 150 inc size?
I think about to use 120/150 inc screen with the vava 4K or xiaomi, any advice here? We have very simmilar livingroom setup as you have. How far away it need to be for 120/150 inc from the wall? I saw 7,2 inc for 100 inc only in the specs. Also it is really worth 1500$ vs xiaomi more for extra brightness - a bit besser quality or is it really that diffrent?
Thanks!
The description says you get an $800 discount when ordering the screen with the projector on Amazon. I am at checkout and am not seeing this discount. How can I apply it?
I will never understand why they put speakers inside those projectors...when you have the cash to pay for these projector you have the sound system to go along, not some crappy speakers. And the price would be lower without these integrated speakers.
Beside used for home cinema, these projectors are very good TV replacements as well and many people will use inbuilt speakers for 80% of the time. Not everyone just watches movies all day long and listen surround sound system on very loud volume.
For the record, I did not say that speakers are bad, I just said that speakers lack the low and deep bass compare to my Xiaomi laser projector because VAVA lack surround sound effect and equalizer in software audio settings. Speakers in VAVA produce very clean and balanced sound and they can go very loud. Most of the people will be very happy with the inbuilt speakers for sure.
It makes more sense than a standard throw projector which also commonly have speakers. At least with ultra short throw the speaker is in front of you. Yes, they suck in comparison but not completely useless.
I really don't like integrated speakers too.
What is rational is actual and what is actual is rational, every man has his hobby, so it is there
Vizio ATMOS 36512 soundbar for $300
Excellent now how much is VAVA in Shillings or dolla projector
Better than jmgo s3?
The picture on the Vava looks a bit more washed out in my opinion. Nice review.
Hi There! I have been watching some of your videos and I was interested in putting together a kit for the bedroom. But the hotlinks in your previous videos about the mechanized drop-down ALR screens are not going anywhere anymore. So first I wanted to ask if you know of a Ceiling-mounted laser projector and electrical drop-down ALR screen that does around 55" diagonal (not enough ceiling for bigger :( ).If they also delivered to the UK that be fantastic! Much appreciated!
What measurements should the tv stand be for my vava projector? I was thinking about getting a 11.9 w x 70 L
Hi. I can't find comparison between Epson EB-L400U and Epson 6050UB for home theater. Could you tell something about it? (black levels, HDR?, absence of "4K" resolution, laser technology advantages) Thanks.
I dunno even though this projector has better stats I prefer the picture on the xiaomi. The vava looks to have pictures that are too orange. The skin tone is too saturated doesn’t look correct to me. The orange skin tone would drive me crazy. I have a 4K tv like that and it looks very bad.
Btw what happened to that huge screen you have that rolls up off the floor?
it's so expensive, I found one on Amazon for $2800 u.s. dollars and with AEON 100 inches screen is $3600, since I've already had a sound system, I say a total not too fancy theater set up could easily cost $6000 u.s. dollars. That's too rich for most folks.
I assume that's because it's too expensive to make for it to cost as much as a regular short throw. They could be consumer standard in the next several years, at least that would be my guess.
vava=xiaomi+100inch ALR PET Crystal Screen
Yes it's expensive. U might as well spend $3600 on an 80 inch tv
Excellent review and comparison
Interface and Hardware very similar to the Xiaomi Wemax. I have the Version2 (the box that came after the white one) But this does not seem like a giant upgrade from my Wemax. Is there an 8K version?
Great Review and so I bought one. However, the menu screen seems to be out of focus no matter how I adjust it. Does your unit look like it is out of focus as well? I have a Xiaomi before this and the Xiaomi menu is much cleaner and focus. Since it is out of focus on the menu, I couldn't help but feel not satisfied with the movie picture quality. I may have a defective unit?
Bad Ninja No at all, In the settings there is electro focus and I adjusted it. My VAVA projector is crystal sharp. You said that your Electronic focus is not working? Maybe it was damaged in shipping. Contact customer service your VAVA projector have warranty.
Very good review videos. Well done. I have a question for you for me to decide which one to buy. Because i want to spend my money right.
Which one is better in terms of price/performance scale?
Xiaomi mijia 4k/fengmi 4k/wemax a300/vava 4k
Amazing review. Subscribed!
What about Fengmi Cinema 4K? According to VAVA and Xiaomi 4K is it better one or not?
Good review. Would have been really nice to have pricing information
Trevor Matthews Thank you!
For price please check link in video description.
I’m having trouble finding a projector screen for this projector. Can you please recommend some, I am looking for 120 inch UST ALR with grey screen
Great review, I would prefer a black version of the projector but its pretty stylish anyhow. What is that fish tank and awesome pool area from?
MaZEEZaM Thank you! I believe those clips with fish tank are from Cyprus. All these cinematic 4K clips are from IRISS32 free website. Check video description for more amazing clips from Frederick Tschernutter work.
Thanks for the review, very professional.
Excellent review. What kind of screen do you recommend for this projector. Thanks
This one works awesome! ua-cam.com/video/T3FQjCyNtdw/v-deo.html&lc=Ugxxi9sNhx9waD9mQnR4AaABAg
Excellent review, I will buy the VAVA + nvidia shield.
I think you should also give a review on LG hu85la if possible. I know it can't be compared to this specially with the price point but there's no good reviews on LG hu85la on youtube so far.
I just reviewed that projector and it is awesome, it is more expensive but it is well worth it.
And what about the sony VPL VZ 1000ES ?
How is the noise that is produced by the unit not the speakers?
LG Cinebeam next to review!
Excellent review.
Thank you! P.S. Check out this video - ua-cam.com/video/mZPXMH2IOMg/v-deo.html
Great review, I am curious about the stand that the project is on, where did you get it from?
Euan Henry Thanks! You mean TV stand? I order it from IKEA here in Sweden. It's combination of 2 different products so I customised it.
That is a custom stands from IKEA and it was a cheapest and only option that I could find at the moment, as my ceiling is a bit lower there in basement. These items you can mix on their website and make them as you pleased. They called ''Nordli'' here in Sweden.
Here is the link: www.ikea.com/se/sv/planner/nordli-planner/#custom
