Welcome friends once again to another new and exciting projector review. Today’s model
is from the Wimius line of projectors and this is their high-end model called the Wimius
K7. Now this is a full-size projector designed for really large screens up to 500 inches
with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth technology with one of the brightest lumens in the industry.
So in today’s video I’ll put it to the test to see what this Wimius model can do
and if the price suits your pocket. So don’t go anywhere you have that right
after this.
So the K7 has a native resolution of 1920 by 1080p.
It has a brightness of 500 ANSI lumens. Its contrast ratio is 20000:1.
Its display technology is LCD and its light source is LED.
It has auto self-adjusting aspect ratio of 4:3 and 16:9.
It has a maximum viewing distance of 7m that produces a 300 inches display and a minimum
viewing distance of 1.7m that produces a 50 inches display o.
It has auto 6D keystone correction and 4D 4P corner keystone correction.
It has dual band 2.4 + 5GHz Wi-Fi for mobile screen mirroring.
It has Bluetooth 5.1 to connect to Bluetooth speakers and home theater systems.
And it weighs 3.97 pounds or 2.2 kg.
So in this purchase you get the K7 model itself. One infrared remote control.
One HDMI cable. One AC power cable.
One auxiliary cable. A lint free cleaning cloth.
An internal lens cleaning kit. A support card.
A user manual. And a carrying case/knapsack.
So this model has an all-white design with a dimension of 10.63 inches wide by 9.45 inches
long by 4.33 inches tall. To the front you have the Wimius logo a front
facing IR sensor and its 2 ¾ inches projector lens surrounded by a chrome bezel with a lens
cover. To its left it has its focus adjustment-wheel
a vertical keystone correction wheel and its intake vent with a changeable dust filter.
To its right is where you’ll find its exhaust vent.
To its rear for input output peripherals it has two HDMI inputs two USB ports one auxiliary
port a headphone jack a rear facing IR sensor its AC power socket and the grill for its
internal speaker. At the top it has manual control buttons.
And to its base it has a screw type kickstand and for antiskid rubber feet that you can
remove the gain access to its ceiling mount screw holes.
So when you startup this projector it starts with a Wimius splash screen then you taking
to its main menu. I’m currently at 8 feet 2.4m from this projector screen and it’s
projecting a 70 inches display. So its main menu is simple and easy to navigate
with its source inputs media inputs and its screen mirroring option on the same screen.
The settings area is divided into four sections. Picture sound time and system options.
Under picture is where you can adjust its picture mode.
Its color temperature. The aspect ratio.
You have Zoom settings. Noise rewduction.
Your projection direction. Its four-point correction.
Its digital keystone correction. Vertical and horizontal zoom settings.
And a correction reset option.
Under sound options you can change the sound mode.
You can adjust the balance. And you have a surround sound option.
Under time settings is where you can set your sleep time option.
And under system options you can change the language.
You have access to your Bluetooth settings. You can restore to factory default settings.
And you have software updates via USB.
When playing videos directly via its USB ports it can play videos in 1080p resolution only
with no HDR. It cannot play 4K videos and downscale them
to 1080p and it cannot play any surround sound audio formats such as Dolby Atmos and DTS
audio.
For displaying pictures in a loop which can come in very handy at weddings family gatherings
and even funeral services you simply enter the photo area from the main menu and navigate
to the folder containing your images open a photo and the press the okay button to access
the playlist menu.
Casting your mobile phone to this projector is fairly straightforward. You simply open
the screen mirroring option select your preferred method whether Miracast for Android iOS cast
for iPhones or DLNA. Then open your favorite screen casting app
on your mobile device scan for the projectors ID and pair your device to it.
Please note you don’t need to be connected to Wi-Fi to cast your mobile device as the
projector transmits its own Wi-Fi signal.
For connecting official movie streaming devices such as the Amazon fire TV stick or the Google
Chromecast this projector does not have HDCP protection so these devices will not work
as the should when connected via HDMI. You may get video but there will be no audio.
To test its picture and sound quality I connected an Android TV Box to its HDMI port and I’ll
now play some 4K videos and have the projector downscale them to 1080p. And we’ll also
HDMI and I don’t know if you can heard it but there was actually bass coming from its
internal speaker.
When applied to 3D gaming this is what it looks like.
This projector comes with Bluetooth 5.1 technology and it can only be used with Bluetooth speakers
headphones and audio receivers. It will not detect Bluetooth gamepads or remote
controls. So to connect to your Bluetooth speaker or
receiver you simply put your device in pairing mode then in the settings area open the system
options and enter the Bluetooth settings. If the Bluetooth feature is off enable it
and perform a scan to detect your device. Once detected select your speaker or receiver
to pair to it.
One thing to note about its internal cooling fan is that it has auto speed adjustment based
on the temperature of the projector. So at times you may not hear it or if your
room is hot the fan may sound louder than usual.
So in a relatively cool environment the noise emitting from its cooling fan is around 45dB.
So in summary. The selling points of this projector are its very bright lumens and large
projection size of up to 500 inches the sound quality from its internal speaker its easy-to-use
interface with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth technology its advance digital-keystone and corner keystone
correction and its stylish design with a chrome accent around the lens.
And there are three things that can be a dealbreaker and these are. Its focus adjustment wheel
though easy-to-use it’s not very sturdy and it can be difficult to set at optimal
focal position at times. The firmware does not have HDCP protection
to play services such as Netflix with audio. And the third issue is that the firmware cannot
play any surround sound audio formats such as Dolby Atmos and DTS audio internally from
videos played true its USB ports.
