What’s up everyone welcome to TV Box stop,
the channel where we feature the best reviews in TV boxes, mini-PCs, and accessories.
On today’s video we have a new projector from the brand ASAKUKI,
and this is their latest model called the ASAKUKI Avigator 455W 1080p Wi-Fi projector.
This projector falls within the media size category, featuring Wi-Fi screen mirroring
with mobile devices, and it’s said to deliver high quality HD 1080p projection display.
So in this review I’ll start with a simple unboxing, then we take a look at its design
and connecting peripherals, then I’ll set it on a projector screen and test its Wi-Fi screen
mirroring, projection display, and sound quality, and I’ll also measure its fan noise level.
So stay tuned that’s up next.
This projector uses LCD display technology. It has a brightness of 8500 Lumens.
It resolution is 1920*1080p and it supports 4K media input.
It has a contrast ratio of 10000: 1. Its projection size: 40''- 240''
It has a 5W bulit-in speaker. Its zoom range is 100% -75%
And it has an aspect ratio of 4:3 and 16:9.
And the welcome back.
In the box you have the projector itself. You get an infrared remote control.
You get a 5ft HDMI cable. You get one audio or video cable.
One-AC power cable. A lint free cleaning cloth.
A couple of cotton swabs for cleaning the lens from the inside with instructions.
A support card, and a user manual.
This projector has is simple yet elegant design with the ASAKUKI branding, a concealed IR sensor,
and a lens cover for the glass coated lens to the front.
To the left side it has two HDMI input ports, 2 USB 2.0 ports, 1 A/V port,
a headphone jack, and the exhaust vent for the internal cooling fan.
On the opposite side you have the intake vent with a reusable dust filter.
To the rear is where you will find the AC power inlet, a rear facing IR sensor,
and the grill for the internal speaker with a fabric covering.
To the top, it has touch button manual controls,
the focus adjustment wheel, and the vertical keystone correction wheel.
And below the projector you are four antiskid rubber pads and a screw type kickstand.
So I’ll set this up on a projector screen and continue.
• Display Technology: LCD • Brightness: 8500 Lumens
• Native Resolution: 1920*1080P (Supported 4K) • Contrast Ratio: 10000: 1
• Screen Size: 40''-240'' • Speaker: 5W dual stereo
• Zoom Range:100%-75% • Aspect Ratio: 4: 3/16: 9
So here I have it set up on a project stand at 7 feet 2.1m from my projector screen.
And when you start this projector
it starts with a simple ASAKUKI splash screen, followed by the main menu.
The main menu gives you access to all its input sources,
as well as you have quick access to media plugged into its USB ports.
The settings area is very simple clean and easy to navigate,
and I give this interface a high rating due to its simplicity.
The settings area is divided in three sections. Display, audio, and options.
Under picture mode you can adjust its display color by selecting from
three presets, Or you can choose to set your own custom color settings.
Under focus is where you can adjust its zoom settings.
You can set the color temperature from a tree presets.
And you can set the noise reduction level or you can turn off.
Under sound options you can select from a number of sound presets such as standard, movie,
music, and sports. Or you can choose to set your own treble and bass on the user option.
Under options is where you can change the language.
Change its aspect ratio. Change its projection mode
in case you would like to mount it to a ceiling. You you can reset to factory default settings.
You can update the firmware via USB. And you can view the firmware version information.
When you connect an external storage device such as a flash drive that contains music and video
to one of its USB ports, it will be indicated by one of the USB icons, and you can then
select from the four options to browse and the play media directly from your storage device.
The product description states that it can play 4K media, so I will now attempt to play
some 4K videos from a flash drive and see if the projector can play them and downscale to 1080p.
Unfortunately it cannot downscale 4K videos to 1080p. Also it cannot play
surround sound formats such as Dolby Atmos and DTS directly from a USB flash drive.
So instead I will now play some HD 1080p videos from my flash drive.
The video samples played okay and in high quality.
However you cannot play surround sound audio formats even if it is in 1080p.
This projector comes with Mobile screen mirroring, and it does so the easy way.
In the screen mirroring settings you have the option of Miracast
for Android devices, ISO cast for Apple iPhones,
and you also have an ISO cablecast for mirroring your Apple devices via cable.
To mirror your mobile device first start by connecting
the projector to your home Wi-Fi network. Simply enter the settings area and scan for your
home Wi-Fi network enter your SSID and password, and return to the screen mirroring options.
For this demonstration I’m using an Android cell phone so I’ll be using the Miracast option.
Once you open the Miracast option you can then proceed to scan on your mobile phone using your
favorite Miracast app. You will then see the projector’s SSID from what is displayed on
the screen. Select it and you will immediately begin casting your Android device via Miracast.
So the 1080p videos played really well from a flash drive connected directly to its USB port,
and its display quality is also really good.
So I will now connect it to an Android TV Box and fine-tune its focus and color settings,
and it play some 4K videos through one of its HDMI inputs.
So when connected to a streaming media device such as an Android TV Box
the 4K signal from the box is a down-scaled to 1080p.
And I must emphasize, that the display quality from this projector
is surprisingly better than some of the full-size models we have recently seen on this channel.
Also its focus adjustment is really easy to adjust to obtain a clear picture. Its internal speaker
is not very powerful with heavy bass, but it is sufficient enough to fill a small room.
Unlike when connected to its USB port, surround sound audio formats such as Dolby Atmos and DTS
when played through its HDMI port produces audio.
If you like to game on projectors this is what the quality it looks like when applied to 3D gaming.
As for Its fan noise It generates only 50dB, which makes it one of the quietest mid-size projectors.
So friends there you have it, this was my review of the ASAKUKI 1080p projector.
Its display quality is one of the best of seen in its class.
Its quiet, has dual band Wi-Fi connectivity,
its UI is very simple yet effective, and screen mirroring is easy to achieve.
So I highly recommend this projector as good one to purchase. It’s not cheaply built,
its stylish, quiet, and produces one of the best projection displays of seen in this class.
So if you like to get your hands on this model
you can get it at an affordable price using the link in the description below this video.
Thanks for watching give this video the thumbs up if you like this projector.
