Xiaomi Mi 4K 150" Laser Projector Review - Is your wall large enough?
Ғылым және технология
As they so often do in the mobile phone realm, Xiaomi has come out with an ultra short throw laser projector capable of delivering 4K resolution image with up to 5 meters in size, but at the price which is considerably lower than some competing models. To find out how good the Xiaomi Mi 4K 150" laser projector actually is, take a look at our in-depth review.
The main question is - Is your wall large enough?

Just received mine, love it !
awesome review. Thanks. Very informed
Great review. Only time untill I get one. Thank you.
I bought the earlier model white one some 4 years ago from China, was very happy with it. Amazing piece of kit if used correctly (screen or good wall, lighting). Sharp, vivid, great sound, truly a cinematic experience at home. Unfortunately it seems the power unit has given up the ghost and I cannot seem to fix it now. Probably will buy the new black model as replacement. Doing my research now. DO NOT LOSE OR MISPLACE THE REMOTE! There is no power on switch on the unit. < That'd probably be the only downside.

I'm owner of a Xiaomi S1 4K Laser, this actuell model does not have a 8 point correction! The older model 150 had it. Therefor it is very difficult to make adjustments. The picture and sharpnes is great.

Hello, i have received this projector and i have image distortion on top (image waves and you can see it only when camera pans left right or right left) and also side wheel buttons on projector dont work... ive seen you also have similar image distortion on top seen on football scene .. but do your side buttons on projector work ?
@SidGolan

The distortion would be due to unevenness in your wall/projection surface.
Hello!! Really thanks for this video, without seeing it I bought the same projector not received already and same TV furniture, but not installed yet. The picture is amazing in dark room you think if I have a white wall is OK for 120 to 150 inches or I need to buy alr screen in order not to buy a TV?

Beautiful. Yes I buy this
The only two reasons a person who buys a Laser Projector has is first the feeling of being in a cinema and second his/er naughty children or pet might break or scratch the possible expensive OLED tv! 😅
I bought one in China last year. It was a great purchase, as we were going to be in lockdown for a while. It was convenient and easy to use, although I would have preferred more options for adjusting picture and sound. However, after a year, it suddenly developed a nasty blue-green hue over everything, and Xiaomi have no idea how to fix it. Still waiting to see if they will offer a replacement or if it just has to be trashed. Also, it says it supports 3D, but it really doesn't. The 3D picture is so dim and green-tinted as to make it unwatchable. I hope others have had better luck with this machine.

@@ronitmahawar1193 Update: I did ask for a replacement, because they tried and failed several times to fix it. They no longer sell the old model, so they gave me a the new one. No extra charge. Even though it was technically out of warranty - the first time they tried to fix it, they actually made it much worse, so in the end, it was fair and I'm happy with the new model. The 3D on the new one is much better, to the extent that I suspect it was a major bug in the first model.

Thank you for the great review! I'm thinking of getting one. Do you know if there is any difference between the models (xmjgtyds01fm and mjjgtyds03fm). I'm trying to search, but I couldn't find anything online.
Digital geometry correction inherently reduces image quality, unless the electronics are controlling the glass elements. Nromal digital geometry does nothing more than distort the digital image. For day time viewing, a darker screen would be better. Darker screens are a good option for most projectors, as long as the image remains bright enough - the darker screen darkens everything, so the 'black' areas are closer to black.
Im looking a laser tv just for gaming and outdoor projections, the other things don't matter to me, what would you recommend me?
Hello, any links as to where you can buy this model?

I bought a 4k Mi150 projector about two months back. The picture quality etc are ok. However the maximum resolution I get is 1080. I have a amazon 4K stick installed on one of their HDMI port.But that also gives a max of 1080 through this projector. Hence the claim of 4k is not correct.

You need to enable HDMI 2.0 from the side menu. Launch your firestick, press the 3 horizontal lines button, a pop menu appears from the left, and in the 3 option, select hdmi 2.0. The display will restart and you should see 4k resolution being listed in Firestick.
