        Second this, i got a friend to bring over from China.

        Amazing value for an Ultra short throw. There are cheaper and better projectors out there. I.e. Benq just released a 4k for USD1500, however the size you can achieve from one of these from about 20-30cm from the wall is amazing. Image is uniform and bright, some people talk about rainbow effect, i haven't seen any.

        I'd say this is only a good buy if you need something for a tight space and cant go down the traditional road or dont want a roof mounted traditional projector.

        Sauce: i have both this and a traditional Panasonic pt-ae8000. Both produce similar quality, i'd still give the panasonic the edge. But this fits so much better in my bedroom, while my other is in the rumpus room.

          Eh, having no screen, just a blank wall, is one of the things I like about of my projector setup. With the brightness of modern projectors, there's not really any noticeable difference between a proper screen and an off-white wall nowadays.

    Don't buy this projector. I bought one and had to return it (return cost me $400 after return fees and postage from geekbuying). First the screen cannot be projected perfectly straight (top edges curve, you can see this in youtube reviews). The top half of the image was blurry. I bought it to replace my benq w1080+ and the benq was better. The Xiaomi was also not noticibly brighter than the benq and the colours and overall picture of the benq were more natural and nicer. The blurry picture and inability to project a straight image was a dealbreaker. The inbuilt speaker was pretty good though.

    • truetypezk on 24/01/2018 - 02:23

      Because it is indeed not brighter than your old benq. See my comments below.

    • spriggan43 on 24/01/2018 - 07:23

      Do you have any photos of the unstraight image, I am not 100% sure what your referring too.

      • Alien on 24/01/2018 - 07:41

        If you watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Sk7G3MDtys, around 4 min into the video you will see how wonky the picture is. You can also see that the edges taper downwards on the top corners. You can somewhat adjust the keystone, but never get it perfectly straight (especially the corners), which is super annoying for such an expensive projector. Also have a look at 4.30 sec on the video.

        • spriggan43 on 24/01/2018 - 10:16

          Could that just be from not using a projector screen? The projectors is unable auto focus/alighting on a uneven surface?

          looking at this video, this dude gets it straight. https://youtu.be/B_eIlYaloT4?t=222
          I am still unsure if I should drop the monies on this one.

        • stinkychicken on 24/01/2018 - 10:35

          It could just be the angle but the in the video you linked it still looks like the image isn't completely straight along the top, dipping slightly in the centre.

        • Mickeyjc on 24/01/2018 - 12:12
          +1

          The straight line issue is not from the projector, it is the wall isn't flat enough. Due to the angle of the projection, it amplifies it when the projection surface isn't flat. You better get a proper screen in order to get straight image.

          As for the brightness, 5000 Lumen is the light source Lumen, XIAOMI has fooled us with this new concept, after all the optic processing, the output lumen is around 1300 Lumen, it is just the brightness of an LED projector.

    • notewar on 24/01/2018 - 07:40

      Do you have the YouTube link about this issue? Your post got me to re-think about this purchase.

    • alabatusa on 24/01/2018 - 10:16

      I have not had any of these issues, my screen is all straight without key stoning! Just set a straight angle to wall.

      Also did you focus the screen using the manual focus. The automatic focus did a good job, but i found manually focusing it made it even clearer

      • asa79 on 24/01/2018 - 13:51

  • truetypezk on 24/01/2018 - 02:21

    Pls be aware that this projector is nowhere near 5000 ANSI lumens. Its Chinese official website states that "The brightness of the light source is 5000 lumens". 3rd party tests suggest it is between 1200-1500 ANSI lumens.

    • camshandez on 24/01/2018 - 06:58

      If it's really that low then your better off getting one of the LG LED PF1500G
      I have one in me theatre room, provided you can control the light in the area it's perfect, but I would not be putting it into a sun lit living room with lumens that low!

    • alabatusa on 24/01/2018 - 10:18

      I'd say its comparable to my 3000 panasonic projector in terms of lumens at the wall

      • truetypezk on 24/01/2018 - 12:20
        +1

        Yes that's possible as the ANSI lumen only measures white light output. Laser projectors have a Color Light Output (CLO) of 100% while traditional 1 DLP projectors with a colour wheel has much lower CLO.

        IMO the projector itself is okay for the money, but Xiaomi obviously wanna use the "5000 lumens" slogan deceptively to mislead consumers to think that they are buying a much brighter projector than it actually is. In the Chinese market they also strongly emphasise that this is a 4K (small print: compatible) projector rather than simply saying its physical resolution is 1080p.

        It is no doubt one of the most affordable laser projectors out there, just be sure that you know what you are really getting.

    • bobz79 on 24/01/2018 - 14:18

      "The 5000 lumen number on the Xiaomi is a typical Chinese vendor playing funny numbers – apparently there are 3 lasers around 1600 lumens each which don't actually output 5000 (you can't just add the numbers together lol)"

  • [Deactivated] on 24/01/2018 - 07:00

    Projector tech lags badly compared to TVs. Just now 4K projectors at a decent price are coming to market, but half of those aren’t actually 4K and they are all too expensive. You’d be nuts buying a 1080p projector. If anything needs 4K it’s soemthing with a 100inch screen.

    • alabatusa on 24/01/2018 - 10:20

      You could see its a short term buy 3-5 years, until 4k UST projectors become more common. The cheapest Chinese alternative at that range are 8-12k, with Sony coming in at 25k

    • ItsMeAgro on 24/01/2018 - 10:57
      +1

      I agree that 4k is mostly a waste for the 50" or less TVs most people buy, and the huge image size of projectors make use of 4K much better.

      But the hard truth is that 4K is a significant but subtle improvement in viewing quality over 1080p, not a large one, like going to HDR, or going from 50" to 100". So for film and cinematic gaming, a 1080p projector is still going to beat the 50" 4K TVs so many people have now in terms of immersion in the content and overall quality of the experience.

      You'd think a 1080p projector would be noticeably low res after getting used to 4k TVs, but the fact is, it's not that apparent. I had a 720p projector until a few months ago. Literally nobody noticed it wasn't 1080p. All were surprised when I told them.

      A quality 1080p projector costs about $1000 and is still the best bang-for-buck film/gaming display right now.

          I hope you have figured in the size of the screen too, unless your 4K TV is same size as the 2K cinema screens ;-)

          Pixels do not have a fixed size. Their size is relative to the screen's resolution and size

          Ok my terminology is a bit off, but 3840x2160 for the BenQ is much higher than Full HD (1920x1080).

          Looks like that one you linked to is 4096 x 2160, which is only 256 pixels extra horizontally.

        • DiSTURBED-oNE on 25/01/2018 - 09:39
          +2

          @leTintin:
          Yes, but 4096 x 2160 is considered True 4K.
          3840 x 2160 is Ultra HD (UHD).

          Just clarifying. Knowledge is power when it comes to consumer buying decisions, it's important to know what you are getting.
          I can't stand marketing fluff.

          A lot of projectors also state: "HDR Compatible".
          What this means is they accept an HDR signal, but they convert it to SDR for playback, which actually makes the picture quality worse than just outputting SDR natively from the source.

          Anyway, always do your research before spending big $$$.

        • ItsMeAgro on 25/01/2018 - 10:29

          @leTintin:

          Nah, you're correct, 4K is 3840x2160. That's the res of 4k blu-rays and most 4K displays. It's easy to remember as it's exactly double the width and height of 1080p (1920x1080) for exactly 4 times the pixels.

          @MiniInTheBox:
          Does it come with Australia power plug or just an adapter?

          Also, why is it only 3 month warranty when other sellers such as gearbest, buymobile and other ebay sellers all offer 1 year warranty?

          @nm201: just an adapter, and the warranty is different between every company, we are thinking improve some policy this year, but still planing.

    Anyone know if there is any warranty whatsoever via Light in the box?

    I am keen but some have suggested no warranty at all.

    This review I found on Whirlpool has convinced me to get one. Go to the bottom of the page to read the review from "gpggooner"

    I get that it might not be great on the screens but I am planning on projecting onto a white wall and the rest of what he says matches other strong reviews I have heard about from someone else who has it.

    Can't wait to get it now and test it all out!

    Has anyone had trouble connecting hdmi arc to a sound bar to this projector? I have a Panasonic sc-htb485 sound bar. I've enabled viera link on the sound bar and hdmi(arc) - pmc on the projector but no sound coming out. I've tried 4 high speed hdmi cables. I can control the sound bar volume with the projector remote. I've tried the arc on another TV and it works so looks like I'm missing something in the projector settings

      Mine came with Australian plug. Bought from buymobile.

        Are you happy with it? Have you played games on it? If so what's the input lag like?

        • jamba on 08/02/2018 - 18:50

          I am very happy with it. I haven’t played games on it but it gives a bright picture. It’s and amazing piece of kit. If they bring out a 4K one I will buy another one for the lounge.

        Thanks. I ordered a 3 pin clover power cable for it.
