Chris here with an affordable full HD projector I know I've been covering a lot of very expensive
Ultra short throws so this is something here to balance it out a bit and for the price point it
does offer a lot it's from emotn it's called N1 and it is Netflix certified as this video
is titled that means just out of the box it runs Netflix in full HD Amazon Prime video is installed
there is an app store and it has a Linux OS so it doesn't run Android TV but in a way it is a
good thing because the performance of that UI is very quick and snappy it has two built-in speakers
they are 5 wats each I'll give you a sample of how they sound a sample of the fan noise in this
video also demonstrate the autofocus and auto Keystone correction which is plus or minus 20°
in action so it's very easy for you to just move this about and it will adjust that image straight
away so you don't have to waste time fixing the Keystone and then correcting that Focus if you
do move your projectors around a lot it is very handy and I'll let you know what the image quality
is like and all the pros and the cons here of the emotion N1 now included along with the N1
you will find a support card so there's various different contacts there for emotion you've got
the user manual then our remote here does not come with the batteries but it's a standard Android TV
layout here for the remote so dedicated Netflix button Amazon Prime video YouTube you got the
menu the home Focus there our power supply so this is20 W and the power cable so the display
te here that it does use is LCD and the light source led the lifespan of it is 30,000 hours
which is excellent and it's a sealed unit there so no dust should get inside now we are looking
at a throw ratio of 1.25 to1 the image size can go anywhere from 60 in to 120 and you'll
see there that it does have a sensus so it's got a timer flight sensor this is it laser autofocus
Auto Keystone correction which is plus or minus 20° and you got manual Keystone correction with
it so it is 500 an lumens the maximum brightness it does support hdr10 and hlg along the back of it
there is more ventilation this the fan in here and we have two speakers so they're 5 wats each and
these are Dolby Digital speakers and again I'll give you a sample of that later on up here at the
top we've got line out 3.5 mm Lan HDMI input and USB 2.0 if you wanted to run some external files
and of course DC in for powering it now the power consumption of this unit is typically
around 110 WS left and right there are no pts or anything now the build of this the outside of it
is plastic it's well done and it's good quality everything here it does not feel or look cheap
at all up the top of power button with status LED finally the underside it does have these
four solid rubber feet that it will sit on there is a kickstand too so good to see that they have
Incorporated and built this into it so we don't have to worry about propping it up on anything
else and there is this a tripod mounting point so yes you could Mount this on a ceiling mount have
it upside down and then just flip the image around now for my setup I have the emotion N1 about 180
cm away from a high quality ALR screen and I'm currently projecting at an estimated 70 in is
what I'll be showing you throughout this video so like some of the other projectors I have reviewed
this is running Linux and not Android TV Android TV yes is based off Linux but this is a lot more
lightweight here and you've got a gigabyte of RAM and 8 GB of storage but that is all it does need
and it is pretty quick it's very fast because it's so cut down and so lightweight compared to
Android TV I do happen to like it so here we have screencast home share Bluetooth speaker
so you can get the N1 act as a speaker Ticky live this is a Cartoon Network channel there
you got open browser YouTube kids Netflix Amazon Prime video are the ones I think those three key
ones that most people will be using and the good thing about it is of course as I mentioned there
at the start NetFlix certified so it's in 1080P you don't have to mess about like a lot of those
other brands that don't have the certification you only get it in standard definition and it
does kind of look terrible not very good so you got a lot of things in here too in the App Store
so if you want into more applications you can find plenty in here there are some categories
at the top so I'll just quickly show you that there's kids you got music uh movies whatnot a
lot in there too and a lot of these channels for example like France 24 the news one they
have their own application so they'll be streaming their own channel so you can use those and there's
a lot of Handy bits and pieces in there so you're not cut short when it comes to Applications but
you know not as quite not as complete as Android TV would be with the applications there so let's
jump into some of the settings now and take a look at them these are all specific to our projector so
you have your picture mode I've just kept this on standard but you have custom and there's a
few other presets there Cinema too as well so Customs where you can go on there and adjust it
yourself I'll talk about a bit about the image quality shortly audio projection so this is if
you were going to be using it imagine that you got it mounted to a ceiling mount where here you can
go and then invert that image to however you've got your projector set up Network I've connected
up already and it does thankfully have 5G support so this is a lot faster than 2.4g when it comes to
our wireless and yes there was a firmware update which I am currently running at the moment so if
I go into Vision info uh you'll see that this is the latest update that I got which was the
otaa and so I'm on version 1.0.2 so that is great there that they at least pushing out some updates
Bluetooth that's pretty self-explanatory the focus so you've got autofocus which does work
really well I'll just demonstrate that now it's going to go in and out and you will see it find
the Focus right there Then you have manual if you decide that oh I think you know that's not quite
100% perfect then you can go and just adjust that a little bit if you wanted to do so and it's just
up and down with the remote you save that and you have advanced options here so you can get
it to do it at start or whenever it gets moved which is probably the best one to leave on too
you can enable that but it's off by default now Zoom this is digital Zoom of course with this unit
and uh it's going to degrade the quality a little bit so try not to zoom if possible just bring the
projector up closer Keystone so you've got manual you can go along and adjust this yourself I found
that the Keystone seems to be pretty good just straight out of the box you have advanced option
again to turn this on that if you move it about a lot you probably want to enable that so it will
automatically do and I'll just demonstrate the key Key Stone so hit Auto now and there we go
it has adjusted it and probably looks like it's a little bit off now that's because I'd manually
tweaked it myself so I've just lost that I'm going to have to redo that myself so those are
the settings in here the setup is what you go through when you first just started up anyway
so that's it there's quite a few options in there pretty standard for a projector like this lastly
just to show you the input menu this is all self-explanatory so got the HDMI home and USB
if you're going to plug in in external storage well that is where you access it so I'll go into
Netflix now and I'll show you just a little bit of what it is like how it runs this is very fast
the menu you can see when you get into it that it is good it is a lot faster than Android TV
I think because I've not noticed any cing of it loading in those thumbnails which you sometimes
do see on some Android TV boxes or projectors with Android TV built into them so I will go in into an
episode of something here just to show you what it is like so I'll go into Vikings just so you
can see how quick it loads in obviously I can't show you a lot of footage but look at that it's
just straight into it straight away and I can tell that that is definitely not standard definition
that is running at yes 1080P and it does have a wide Vine level one SE so that's why it is going
to be running there at 1080p so just get out of this now and we'll take a look at Amazon Prime
video which is the other major streaming service I think that most people will be using both of those
apps and Amazon Prime video so that did load in very quick no problems I don't see any lag with
it when I go through the menu which is great so it is looking good now just to point out here
in the menu with this LCD well LED projector the light source here that it is looking good like I
don't see any of that horrible noise that grain that I have noticed with some projectors so the
image quality for the price point I think is good I think it's is not bad at all so just go in here
to the power of the Rings the rings of power sorry should I say and resume this you can see
it does come up with Dolby Atmos support this is taking a little bit longer than Netflix for some
reason to load in okay and yes that is looking good again not in standard definition you can
tell because there's just a lot more detail to it so the blacks here the image quality I very
happy with those blacks the brightness well it's that 500 an lumens let's take a look at some more
sample footage this time with YouTube so this is looking good here I'm happy with the colors
I think for the price point of this projector the image quality is fairly decent what I've noticed
around the edges it does dim down a little there so you're not getting a 100% uniformed 500 anti
lumens you notice around the edges is a little bit dim there and this is kind of typical with
LCD and led uh image source here that is going to be not quite as good as laser definitely not
going to be able to match what you see with laser but overall I mean it does look very good I think
for the style of projector and what you're getting here the image is very good here we have a look at
bit of Amsterdam again so the colors I think the colors are fine for this the the vibrancy
the contrast is good the saturation levels gamma contrast yeah it all seems to check out I believe
for the style of projector for what you're after cuz it cannot compete with some of those really
high quality projectors that I've been covering lately which are super expensive we're talking
$3 $4,000 machines laser 4K but for what it is for 1080p I'm really happy here with the image quality
and what I'm seeing but what happens if I turn on a very bright light how are those 500 anti lumens
going to feir now so that's a very very powerful now Studio light on this is approximately about
150 WS just a straight at my ALR screen so the ALR screen is helping here with this image quality now
I can still make out and see perfectly fine what is on the screen but it doesn't look as good of
course it's not going to look anywhere as good you can see now the blacks look gray the image
is looking quite washed out this is typical so you want to be watching in a dark room you want
to be looking and using this projector ideally in a completely pitch black room if you've got a tiny
bit of ambient light that won't be too much of a problem so if I angle the light away now you can
see how straight away that image quality has improved it's looking a lot better now which
is good which you'd expect and if I turn that light off now completely there we go it's now
back to normal blacks looking well a tiny bit gray but it's not coming through with my recording a
little there that was just the splash screen for YouTube but now yeah the blacks again commenting
on those that they are very decent well especially with this ALR screen so having a look now at the
autofocus and auto Keystone in action I've set with the advanced menu tab there to enable them
both autofocus and auto Keystone with movement so when I move the projector now you see to one side
the Keystone Works straight away the autofocus is a little slower as it zooms out then back in
and finds The Sweet Spot which it has right now and that is looking very good apart from the left
side maybe a little bit out the focus there but you can adjust that and tweak it manually so do
that one more time just to move it to the left now and there we go Keystone looks very good this time
spot on and then the focus that is looking great so that has now focused and I probably wouldn't
go and adjust that really CU I don't think I could make that any better just bring up the screen is
very easy with the remote and no it seems to be about where I would have it anyway so the
Keystone and the autof focus is all working really well with the N1 onto the fan noise now which for
me really is the only con of this particular projector that the fan noise it's there you're
going to hear it it's like a bit of a whining kind of noise it's not super loud or anything
but it is present it's certainly not the quietest of the 1080p projectors that I have covered in
the channel so I'll give you a sample of what it sounds like if you're going to be sitting next to
it you are certainly going to hear the constant RPM the whining noise that it does make this
fan and then our speakers that are built into it so they're about here there's two
of them 5 watts each got good volume to them a little bit of Base as you'll hear
from this they don't sound amazing they're not fantastic but they aren't bad either I
don't think they're bad for for built-in speakers so here's that sample at 100%
volume how better console gaming could you plug in for example a PlayStation 5 which I've done
just now and play games with this N1 projector let's find out so the big thing here is going to
be the input lag the latency I don't know what the response times are with this particular projector
but I would say it would be like standard it's going to be over about 20 milliseconds or so
maybe even a lot higher than that even at 1080p so when I turn to the left and the right here
in fact that's fine I'm not having any problems with this at all now I was expecting that maybe
the latency here could be that slow that I might have issues with just some casual console gaming
like this with dirt five at the moment but no no I can happily play this this seems to be right so
when I'm turning to the left and the right yep that is working that's working just fine so I
think for this kind of style just casual console gaming so you can hook up your PlayStation your
Xbox if you wanted to game with the motion in1 well it's not going to be a problem for that style
of gaming it's not going to have the greatest lcy but it is definitely still playable as you can see
here I'm having no trouble at all so I think for the price point I cannot really complain at all
with the image quality I do think it is good the contrast the levels are black there is no annoying
speckle I don't see any color fringing the gamma the contrast checks out for this price point and
the style of projector being LCD LED light source which they say is good for 30,000 hours that's a
lot now it is a sealed unit so no dust should be getting in there at all so it's going to be really
good for longevity too with it and as you saw the auto Keystone and autofocus is working really well
the built-in 5 wat speakers I think they sound fine for being built-in ones and the UI Linux
very fast quick and snappy you can download other applications other streaming services
Netflix Amazon Prime video is working very well very quick and in full HD basically straight
away and it does support 5 GHz that is our band there for the wireless not 2.4 GHz which can be
very slow nowadays so it streams really quick and no problems with it at all so it's all checking
out apart from one thing and that is the fan noise it had to be something at this price point it's a
little loud now the sample I gave you I actually went back and recorded again because when I was
gaming for a lot longer than the sample I showed you uh it ended up getting even louder because
the fan ramped up a bit as the temperatures Rose and I heard it even more so that sample was at
the top fan noise so if you're going to be sitting next to it you are certainly going to hear the N1
that is really the only thing that this projector I can find with it the rest of it I think for the
price point is very good so you're getting a a great deal I think with the image quality what's
on offer and especially having Netflix Amazon Amazon Prime video already installed and just
working straight away and it's really easy to set them up because if you've got the application or
on your phone you have yourself logged into Netflix or Amazon you simply need to scan the
QR codes and it will log you in and you're up and running it really is so simple and quick so there
we go that's the full story of the emotion inone and affordable Netflix certified full HD projector
