What's up guys!
It's Chris Majestic here with Majestechs.
Today I have with me, a projector, if you couldn't tell by the box that just says "projector".
But anyway, the folks over at Javion were nice enough to send me this projector for
me to check it out.
So I think it's listed for about $160 on Amazon, I'll put a link in the description.
Today we're going to go ahead and check this thing out.
I"m going to give you my honest opinion and test it out so let's get into it.
Alright so let's go ahead and get this thing open.
Got the X-Acto.
Let's get some X-Acto action going.
Alright so the first thing we've got is some composite cables.
Power cord.
A nice remote there.
Cool.
Alright.
It's a nice looking projector.
Putting me prints all over it real nice.
Yeah so that's the top.
It's got a nice lens cover on the front of it.
My fingerprints.
Some buttons: Source, Menu, Channel.
Here you go.
You've got 2 USB ports, 2 HDMI ports, TV.
Oh, so does this have a tuner?
VGA.
And I believe this is the keystone on the back of it here.
And I believe that's a speaker.
So it does have a 3W speaker in it and then you're going to have your power port.
I don't know.
I'm skeptical.
Not sure how I feel about this.
We'll see.
Alright guys so this is it.
So this is actually this projecting about a 75-80 inch screen right now.
I have it projecting on my Carl's Flexiwhite screen that I built and this is 140 inch screen
just for reference for you to see.
Now, this is with the lights all the way on.
So this is full brightness in my basement.
Mind you, the way I have my brightness set up, it is sort of ideal for a projector so
do keep that in mind.
Honestly, I wouldn't go any bigger than this.
Going beyond 80 inches is not going to be that great.
So let me go head and dim the lights.
Alright, so this is going to be with the lights dimmed all the way down.
This isn't bad at all as far as brightness goes, considering it's doing an 80 inch and
right now it's actually sitting about 10 feet away from the screen.
So for you to get what I'm Im getting now, like an 80 inch, you have to be about 10 feet
away.
So this is definitely not a short-throw projector by any means.
The colors are a little bit washed out even with the lights dim.
It's not going to be super bright.
It's not popping.
It's actually kind of cool and this is actually with the color temperature set to warm.
So it does have like a cool temperature to it.
So this is a 1080p video that it's showing through it and it's downscaling it to 480p.
But what I'll do now is put it up a lot closer to the screen and see what that looks like.
Alright guys so this is with the lights all the way up and this is about a 42" screen
projecting right now.
I don't know if you can tell but it does look a lot better as far as brightness goes.
It's kind of hard to capture this on camera but this is a lot better so the colors look
a little bit more accurate.
I can actually see what's white and what's gray and tell the difference between black
and those kind of things.
This isn't bad at all for this size screen.
This is actually pretty good.
This is with the basement lights turned all the way up so I'll go ahead and turn those
down to the lowest setting to show you what that looks like.
Alright, so the lights are all the way down.
This actually looks pretty good, especially with showing you what white and black looks like.
Now the black levels aren't going to be great at all but they're not bad considering.
It does look a lot better at 42".
Now there is some backlight spill that you can kind of see off to the left.
There are some lines that you can see.
I don't know if the camera is picking that up.
It's at the bottom as well so it's kind of around the picture.
It's not as bad when you have a larger screen when you're projecting it a little bigger
but at this size you can definitely see it.
Alright guys, now you've had a chance to see it for yourself.
Me personally, I think for $160, it's kind of hard to beat this.
For what you're getting I think it's a pretty good price.
It wasn't the best greatest picture ever.
It's 480p.
It's not really that bright.
It's definitely not 3200 lumens.
If I had to guess I would say it's between 600-800 lumens but once you turn off all the
lights and you do maybe a 50-60 inch screen it's perfectly fine.
Now considering it's down-converting from 1080p all the way down to 480p it didn't really
look that great as far as sharpness and reading text and stuff like that.
But the video wasn't that bad.
The speaker actually sounds decent for a 3W speaker.
It actually surprised me.
The remote works "ok".
You have to aim it directly at the IR sensor.
I can think of a bunch of different reason that you would want to use this but for what
it is and for how much it costs I think you've got a win here.
Alright guys that's it for this video.
I'll go head and throw in a link for the projector in the description of the video.
Go ahead and check that out.
Hopefully you found this video helpful and I want to here you comments so go ahead and
post in the comments section and thanks for watching.
