Excellent full review on this projector on such short timeframe before their official campaign launch... I think your full review is the first one of this projector on KZread, so congrats! And thanks for following up with my question on the color space mapping between HDR and SDR from your previous video! A couple more follow up questions: 1. How is the focus and uniformity near the corners and edges? I hear for UST projectors, those aspects tend to be challenging compared to standard throw projectors. 2. Because of the price point, I'm guessing this is a no, but does it have frame-by-frame dynamic tone mapping like some of the new LG laser projectors have?

@BuildMontage

2 жыл бұрын

Hi Alvin, and thanks for watching and your great questions. 1) I found the focus to be somewhat good compared to other USTs I've tested. I noticed that you can favour either the top of the bottom but there is a sweet spot inbetween which I managed to nail pretty easily - although I have vision issues - my kids helped me! 2) I don't believe there is frame-adapt HDR like you can get in the JVC NX7, I saw a button which you can toggle to "automatically" adapt HDR, but I couldn't see it working in practicality. I think some of these things will be known as time progresses.

Nice review. Are you going to cover the 3D settings in a video?

Thank you for the great review… I ordered one… but with some suspicions. I use a samsung A600B at the moment which has 24p, so I‘m not sure if the absence of 24p will be a problem for me.

Hi there Tony...Your review was very good! However, I was curious why no one asked if that back lighted VAVA logo could be controlled and turned off as I would find it a distraction. Also, 2 other issues...one seems that with the new ATSC 3.0 coming out it would have been nice to have a Coax BNC connection with a TV tuner inside. Second, regarding frame rates, the newest HDMI 2.1 for 4k @120 fps should have been installed. That way it would be "future proof" for 8k content down the road. Interested if anyone else had similar thoughts. Thank you!!

@BuildMontage

Hi Stephen, thanks for watching. The VAVA logo turns off when it's switched on - it only stays on during standby. I'm not sure about any TV tuner as the reliance is on the Android TV app built in. And yes, I agree 120hz 4K HDMI 2.1 would have been nice, but sadly it is only 2.0. I'm sure VAVA are listening to feedback so likely will make some upgrades down the track..

an additional question, you mentioned screen 900mm from floor and top of projector 260mm below screen, what is the relative position of a person sitting on the couch (person's eye level?) I just want to get tired if looking up to see the screen...

@@BuildMontage if a ceiling mount forces you to have a lower screen, then that is not optimal. I had thought about this style for my 2nd system in the family room but it just doesn't work with my big center channel and if I built a box for the center, I think it would sit too high and make the picture too small due to the ceiling. I prioritize sound over picture so wouldn't want center speaker a few inches off the floor even if it was angled

Jmgo u2 vs this ?

@BuildMontage

2 жыл бұрын

I am getting my JMGO U2 toward the end of October as I specifically asked for a production unit to review - not pre-production.

In my opinion, this was kind of a waste without the 120". A 100 inch screen at the price that they will be selling it at just does not seem worth it when you can buy a 85"/86" TV for around $2k. The main reason is because of the placement when using a 120" screen. That pushes the projector far from the wall and pretty far down, or the screen really high. I installed the original one for a customer that bought a 150" screen because VAVA makes people think you can use one of that size. Well, technically you can. It literally had to sit on the floor and well over 2 feet from the wall. Now 30" probably makes a big difference, but at 120" it will probably still be low and far from the wall. Good video for what you covered though. BTW did they do that garbage where there is no IR on the projector again? They made the last one so you could not use a universal remote. That was pretty lame. Especially since the built in "smart hub" was gaaaaaaaaarbage.

@BuildMontage

2 жыл бұрын

It does come with a 120" if you choose. I agree about the remote but for me, I use my universal remote to control my receiver so I don't really need to do much on the projector once it's set up.

This is the new Chroma, it wont be like this however! In fact the one you buy has not stated production yet, but send us you're money anyway. Should it become faulty pack it up and return it at you're expense. After 4/6 weeks you might get it back. In the mean time you have nothing. Will I be ordering?? I don't think so. PS Don't forget the hassle of trying to explain to local customs and tax people that you are not exporting or re importing the unit after repair. Good luck with THAT one. No 24fps A none starter anyway.

I had the same question. Rainbow was very visible in person to me with the single laser model and back it went. I also read in techradar review of the Samsung triple laser UST that rainbow was somehow still there in that projector and noticeable by the author. Perhaps Tony might be not as susceptible to rainbow but I am definitely going back to the Epson camp. Regardless, this new UST from Vava is definitely a great deal for people especially on first day if not susceptible to rainbow effect.

@@topperdude2007 I honestly did not notice it at all - however I did see it in the video. This was one of the most difficult and frustrating shoots I've ever done because the shutter speed of the camera was not playing nicely with the refresh rate of the projector. I did see the splitting of colours in the footage, but I can assure you it's not there - or I certainly couldn't see it - in person. I spent 4 days on just trying to get footage - with limited windows to shoot as I needed to do it at night. I can't promise it's not there, but I couldn't see it in person even though the camera seems to capture it. I ended up having my camera set to 60fps with a shutter speed of 125 just to capture what I could without stuttering.

@@BuildMontage No worries, mate! As I mentioned in my previous message (and I am guessing you know this as well), rainbow effect is very very subjective. Just like you could not see the rainbow effect, one of my friends (who I helped setup his home theater with the original Vava earlier this year) could not see rainbow effect with the original Vava. I, on the other hand, saw it right away. In fact, I was so sensitive, I could notice it anytime there was any fast motion - which gets super annoying in action movies, NFL etc. So in this instance, I consider you (and my friend) fortunate whereas due to my ultra-sensitivity to rainbow effect, I had to return the original Vava I purchased for myself.
