What’s the calibration settings? I can’t find them anywhere

Awesome review. Had my eye on it thru emails and Ordered mine before it’s too late. I’ve had a Mirior brand (might spell check me on that one)mini projector and it ROCKED! So I’m 100% Cerrain this will go above and beyond for bonfires and backyard get togethers. Thanks for going thru the details. Really cements the buy for us on this side as well. Much appreciated!!! -Rob

Your the man! Thank you!!!

This looks really impressive, you've had a lot of great projector testing lately it's cool to see the new features and options out there and your demos are great

Very cool to see this. My buddy does many of the reference designs for the chipset company and helps support the various companies using it. He has been in the portable projector group for about 20 years.

thanks for the review, Toid. I ordered this because of you!

Very well put together video as always! Thank you Mr. Toid!

D-MIN & D-MAX are Absolutely Critical for resolving detail as well as the gamut color depth. What alot of people don't realize is that the image is only going to be as good as the source material fed into it!!!...as in the number of bits per color pixel...whether it be 8, 16 or 24-bit color depth to support the wide color gamut. Nice review, BTW!!!😁👍🏻

It looks like this projector will have the urge to buy...

Bonus points for using Alita as a test. Been a fan of the series since I was in intermediate school back in the late 90's

Such an underrated movie as well. I hope they eventually made a second one.

​@@Toidin my opinion it's the best american adaptation of an anime/manga series and it was definitely worth waiting for it since I hear that James Cameron was interested in it back in 2008 or so. I heard rumors that he wanted to make it a trilogy which would be awesome since there's so much more they have to show from the first series, the prequel and the sequel books too

Thank you again for your in-depth reviews! Because of your review, I purchased Nomvdic L500 Triple Laser Projector. I am just wondering, out of the box (default) was your L500 heavy on red? Mine was and has been challenging getting proper skin tones without the red and then not affecting other colors like green grass. Tried some of their different settings which slightly improved. Was wondering if it is a projector calibration issue before it left the factory and can it be 'fixed' at home without sending back.

It was. I had to dial back the saturation.

Btw, you mentioned in your video your "calibration settings down below" at about 9 minutes in your video. Whare can I find your calibration settings? Thx!

Seems like a really nice projector.

It really is, especially at the kickstarter price point

As usual I learned a few things! I don't know if that's a good thing or not though as now I'm looking at my current TV with a more critical eye. :)

Sweet! That is my goal, to try to inform where I can. Glad it came through

This is one of those items that tempt me to buy it at that price even though I have no place to use it right now. How big of a screen were you projecting it on? I would have a hard time getting good light control in either of my HT setups without some serious work and room reconfigration.

@Toid

My screen is 100”. Which is actually the biggest I can fit in my room.

Many thanks for your videos and your test! Would you be able to advise if this model would be a better choice than similar Benq or Optoma models? Thanks again!

@Toid

As far as BenQ goes you’re talking about the 2150 series I would take this. If you are talking about the 3550, I’d rather have that. However the 3550 is almost twice the price.

That looks really cool. On a different note, I'm trying to sign up to your web site, so I can buy some speaker plans. However, I never receive the email to finish the set-up. Help..

I noticed you saying how true to the spec of rec color space this is , does that mean you have a way of reading the color with a calibrator if so I'd li,e to know what is the optimal settings . I find the colors to intense and a tad to soft, I noticed the sharpness on my unit is set to 0 thnx in advance for any and all help 😊😊😊

@Toid

Thanks. I actually did test it with my meter. Unfortunately, I don’t have the projector anymore. And the person who received it actually did a factory update which erased the settings. So unfortunately, I can’t give them to you. In the future I’ll make sure to put them on my website.

@@Toid ok thnx anyways , but by any chance, I know there's already a setting for 6500k but it's to warm of a color for me , im looking for 6500k daylight . You know so blue it makes whites look like cool grayish bluish , i know each projector has difrent ofsets to get to a number give or take but how much blue red and green do I use to achieve this or it takes , inother words I know I'd have to give or take with one projector or onother to get there but when I do what what be the number amount 4 achieving this with red blue green , again thnx in advance for any and all help

What is the contrast?

Any recommendation for an outdoor screen for this.. either against house or free standing . Thanx in advance

​@@Toidthank you for that

One thing I wish you'd cover when it comes to HDR would be peak brightness(how well it represents specular highlights) and when It comes to image quality how much it crushes highlights and shadows..(at this price range I'm expecting it to crush at least some detail ...it would be extremely impressive if it didn't)

Do a video about the New Yaber k2s and compare it to the apollo p40

I'll have to see if I can get one in. I would like to see how it is.

Do you have that calibration ICC profile to share?

Be honest…which is better? This projector or the Formovie Theather Ultra Short Throw?

@Toid

10 ай бұрын

Well that is simple. The Formovie is probably the best on the market. So that wins hands down. It is also over 4x the price. So that would be the sticking point. But if I had the money to burn, I’d send it on the Formovie.

Curious as to how well this will perform in a room with light? Either sunlight or via lamp light. Thanks

Like most projectors, it does best in a light controled room. I wouldn’t use it with all the lights on, but some ambient light is not a problem. It won’t be as good as with the lights off, but it will be viewable.

What is brightness output though

@NyneIX9

650 ANSI lumens. Not bad.

the lasers are not "lasers" per say , its not a laser scanning like the old CRT's, they just use laser tech to create the light output. it is used because it is more efficient, greater output, and makes less heat

Don't see your calibration settings
