What’s happening everyone Nick here from TV Box stop with another projector review.
Today’s projector is from FANGOR, and this is their latest model and it’s called the F506.
This is this a native 1080p projector featuring Bluetooth and WiFi screen mirroring,
and it’s designed to work with PCs, iOS and Android devices.
This model falls within the medium grade category and it’s designed to fit right
into your smart home entertainment system. In this review we take a look at its design
and peripherals, then I’ll do a walk-through of its user interface and settings.
Then I’ll connect it to an external storage device, and play media directly on it.
Then I’ll connect it to an Android TV box and test its picture and sound quality.
I’ll also connect it to my mobile cell phone to test its screen mirroring feature,
and then to my audio receiver via Bluetooth to test its Bluetooth audio latency.
So stay tuned that’s all coming up right after this.
This projector has native HD 1080p resolution. It has a contrast ratio of 10,000:1.
It has a 6 layered glass coated lens. It has a recommended 160 inches display,
and a maximum 230 inches. It has 65,000 hours lamp life.
And a 5W SRS internal speaker. This projector does not support Dolby audio.
And it’s not meant for commercial use or large conference type settings.
Welcome back. In the box you have your standard items along with some additional accessories.
Starting with the F506 project itself. You get one remote control.
One HDMI cable. One VGA cable.
One audio video cable. A 12V 75W power adapter.
A cover and screw for the side panel. A mini tripod.
A multilingual user manual. And a carrying case.
Now a look at its design and peripherals. Its entire body is made of plastic,
with a lens cover and an IR sensor to the front. On its right side it has two HDMI inputs, one USB
port, a microSD card reader, a headphone jack, one AV input, the power input, and the exhaust vent.
On its right side has a special compartment for the Roku TV stick that consist of one HDMI input,
a USB port for providing power only, and a reset hole for resetting the stick.
The included cover for the side panel is to neatly secured the Ruku stick
once connected for a permanent type of setup, and also to protect it from
damage as it will be projecting if connected to the other HDMI inputs.
To its rear, has one VGA port, a rear facing IR sensor and the intake vent.
At the top is where you have manual touch button controls,
its focus wheel and horizontal Keystone correction wheel.
And below the projector you have four antiskid rubber pads,
a screw hole for mounting the included tripod and a for mounting to your ceiling,
the internal speaker, and a screw type kickstand. So I’ll set this up and continue.
So I’m back and currently I have it set on a projector stand at 7
ft 2.1 m from my projector screen. When you startup this projector,
you are greeted with a FANGOR splash screen, then you’re taken to the main menu.
It’s me menu is divided into five sections. Media, source, Miracast, iOS cast, and the settings area.
Before I test its media options let’s first take a look at its settings area.
Under settings you have five sections, starting with its Wi-Fi settings.
It only has 2.4GHz Wi-Fi support and here I’ve already connected to my home Wi-Fi network.
Under Bluetooth, once you turn it on and run a scan
you’ll receive a list of nearby Bluetooth devices.
Under projection is where you control its display orientation or projection direction.
Under advanced settings is where you can change the language,
set the bootup source, set a sleep timer, perform firmware updates, and factory default settings.
And the last section is its system information. Please note this projector has no display
settings, which is quite strange given the features we have seen thus far.
Returning now to its media section this is where you go to play media connected to its USB port.
The product description states that this projector cannot read Dolby audio,
but that isn’t totally accurate. As in my initial testing I discovered
that it plays Dolby Atmos, DTS X, and DTS HD master audio videos, ones that they are
in MKV format with a certain compression type. It cannot play Dolby surround, THX and Dolby TrueHD.
One thing I like about this projector is that they made mirroring your mobile device very easy.
Once you connect the projector to your home Wi-Fi network,
simply open the tab named of Miracast, then on your mobile phone open a Miracast app and scan for
the name of the projector and connect to it. And that’s it you’re done.
I will now connect it to an Android TV box and play some high-quality 4K videos
which will be downscaled to 1080p and this is the test its display quality and
internal speaker sound quality.
So judging from this display I agree with the product description where it
says that this project the is not commercial grade.
Its lumens and a contrast ratio are not very bright which makes it
suitable for very small room settings. It is watchable, but it would’ve been
better if they had included settings to adjust its brightness and color.
For those interested in gaming this is what 3D graphics looks like
when applied to this projector.
Connecting the Bluetooth devices is also very straightforward and easy.
Simply enter the Bluetooth settings area, activated the Bluetooth switch,
scan for nearby devices, and connect to your device.
Here I’ve connected to my 7.1 audio receiver and I’ll perform an audio test.
So viewers the day you have it. This was my review of the FANGOR F-506p 1080p projector.
Though it looks great and has modern features such as touchscreen controls,
Wi-Fi screen mirroring, and Bluetooth connectivity.
Its projection display is not the brightest, and it lacks display adjustments in the settings area.
