Read through the full W5850 review and the two figures that stuck with me are not the ones in the marketing. First, measured peak white came in just under 200 nits, against a manufacturer rating of 2,600 ANSI lumens. That is not a knock on it. On a properly light-controlled screen 200 nits is...

The W5850 review is out and the interesting part is the throw. BenQ rates the lens at 1-1.6:1 with motorised zoom, focus and shift, and the reviewer notes it will fill a 200-inch screen from 14.5 feet where the older W5800 needed 22 feet for the same picture. Shift range is quoted at plus or...

There is a UHZ65 in the classifieds at $2,000 or nearest offer. Bought in 2022, roughly 3,000 light-source hours on it, and the seller notes it is rated for up to 20,000, originally sold around $5,000 and still goes for about $4,000 new. On paper that reads as fifteen percent used and a half...

The spec that actually matters on the BenQ W5850 is not the 2,600 lumens, it is the throw. A 120-inch diagonal from less than nine feet is the number that decides whether a projector works in a real house. Loads of people have the wall for a big screen and nowhere sensible to put a long-throw...

Valerion has pushed its Anti-RBE processing out to the rest of the premium long-throw range, so VisionMaster Pro, Pro 2, StreamMaster Plus and Plus 2 all get it at no cost. It needs the latest Android software plus a DLP software upgrade underneath, so it is not a one-tap thing. The feature...

ProjectorCentral has a case study on Batbox, a baseball XR venue that puts real bats and balls against projected pitchers with live ball tracking. They opened their flagship in Dallas, they are aiming at weekly installs and 100 simulators inside a year, and they standardised on the BenQ LK935 4K...

ZDNET refreshed its big-screen TV roundup this week and the framing has shifted in a way worth noticing. It is no longer 85 inches at the top of the chart. There are 98-inch classes from several brands, 115-inch sets, and reference to 130-inch panels existing. The cinema-sized television is now...

So the PX4 Pro is finally in stores after that teaser back in December, and the number that jumped out at me is the price. $3,999.99, roughly a thousand over what the PX3-Pro was going for. For that you get 3,500 ANSI lumens instead of 3,000, 118% BT.2020 coverage, Delta E rated at 0.9 or lower...

Panasonic's projector arm is sponsoring the first six of these things. Illumibot calls the vehicle an IllumiBeast, it is a Cybertruck kitted out for projection mapping, and each one carries a PT-MZ20K under the MEVIX banner: 20,000 lumens, 3LCD, laser, WUXGA. Read that spec line again. WUXGA...

Disney has announced a certification called Infinity Vision for premium large format screens. As far as I can tell the bar is three things: a large screen, laser projection, immersive audio. That's it. I haven't seen a published brightness spec, a contrast floor, a minimum screen dimension in...

ProjectorCentral has a good breakdown of what Texas Instruments is doing to the actual mirrors, and it is more interesting than the usual chip refresh. The line most of us have seen already is the High Efficiency Pixel design in XGIMI's Titan, a 0.78-inch device with 9-micron mirrors doing...

XGIMI opened orders on the TITAN Noir series back in April and I still keep coming back to the spec sheet. The Max is the one people care about: up to 7,000 ISO lumens, an RGB triple-laser engine, IMAX Enhanced alongside Dolby Vision and HDR10+, a claimed Delta E of 0.8 with 110% BT.2020...

Digging through old firmware notes reminded me that AWOL had its laser projectors formally certified by Dolby Labs a couple of years back, and then shipped the feature as a free over the air update. You updated over Wi-Fi, a Dolby Vision option appeared in the menu, and the logo turned up once...

XGIMI opened orders on the Elfin Flip Laser and the Elfin Flip 4K on July 15, and the first thing that jumps out is that both are quoted at 1,600 ISO lumens. Brightness is not what the extra money buys. The Flip Laser is $799, 1080p, with a 10,000:1 dynamic contrast figure. The Flip 4K is $999...

In the world of projectors, the optical engine is often referred to as the “heart” of the device—it directly impacts brightness, color accuracy, and overall image clarity. With the launch of its latest flagship model, the Dangbei S7 Ultra Max, Dangbei introduces its self-developed Eclipse...

On July 29, Dangbei unveiled its flagship home theater projector: the S7 Ultra Max. Positioned as a “Dolby 4K home cinema system,” it boasts top-tier hardware and cinema-grade features. But does it deliver? Let’s explore the key specs and “cinema-grade” innovations that power this RMB 13,999...

Introduce Epson EpiqVision LS800 Positioned merely inches from your wall, the Unique Ultra Short Throw Laser Array demonstrates a different approach to projection. This technology outputs images with notable color and brightness, overcoming spatial constraints and optimizing the use of minimal...

When creating a stunning home theater or business presentation setup, achieving excellent visuals with a laser projector depends heavily on your choice of screen. Ambient Light Rejecting (ALR) screens are widely praised for their ability to handle ambient light effectively. But are they...

Dangbei, a leading name in laser projection technology, has once again solidified its position on the global stage. From November 15, 2024, to January 14, 2025, the Chinese brand is hosting a grand exhibition at Tsutaya Home Appliances+ in Setagaya, Tokyo. This event not only showcases Dangbei's...

In recent years, triple-laser technology has been a game-changer in the projection industry, offering brighter displays and a wider color gamut for an enhanced viewing experience. However, common drawbacks such as color fringing, ghosting, and speckle effects, paired with higher price points...
