Now I want a daughter more than a projector
Haha! Good one! 😁
Subscribed because the little girl asked 😅
Finally a non-sponsored review, you are a lifesaver. I hate how there are so many sponsored videos by the company and the local creators dont even disclose it... it's irritating and makes me want to copyright-strike the creators lol.
I felt the same way too! That's why I wanted to provide a balanced review rather than a promotional 'review'...
Thanks for your honest review of this projector
thank you for the non sponsored review! very helpful!
was a bit hesitated on this model, thanks for the review!
Real good review! Thanks for the insights 👍🏼
Thank you, i was looking for a unbiased review and appreciate what you have shared.
You're most welcome!
glad to see your review before my purchase. now I am considering other brand.
Thanks for the impartial review .. the information helps a lot when considering for purchase ~
Nice review! Thanks
it's almost impossible to find any negative comments on the projector, so thank you for the honest review!
Most welcome!
I believe the specs are correct. However, after purchasing, i found out that it is an OEM product rebranded to Lumos and paid more compared to other rebranded brands. Some example of similar product but different brand and cheaper, Armax m19, Vankyo v630w. Here in malaysia, I paid rm300 more for Lumos Auro compared to Armax m19 smart which are the same. So just sharing so that anyone who want to buy do not overpay for influencer fees, digital marketing, etc cost.
Really? I'm still doubtful on the 6000 lumens. But you're right that it's rebranded over here in SG. But I rationalise that the additional amount is for the local warranty and service should there be repairs needed.
im taking note from this
welp i check the price are more less the same just the basic version is cheaper ish like 700+
Just for comparison in Malaysia, i paid rm1299 for smart/android lumos Auro. Armax m19 smart/android is RM989.
No, both have 12months warranty, the additional RM300 to me now its for the strong digital marketing/influncer reviews etc. Haha
Really appreciate this! Been quite skeptical of all the glowing reviews that don't find any fault in this projector (and often turn out to be sponsored lol)
Yeah, the company actually gives out a cash reward for some reviews, so that could explain why most reviews are very positive! 😏
Thanks for the review. I will stick to conventional TV then
Thanks for the review! Very insightful. May I ask if the internal motor is noisy when the projector is turned on?
It's quite noisy if you pay attention to it. But the speakers are pretty loud so they do drown out the motors.
your daughter looks so much like you!
I'm kinda thrown off by Lumos shipping uncertified Android TV instead of the official Google certified version with additional Netflix certification. From another review I saw, it has tablet Netflix instead of actual TV Netflix. It likely also has tablet Play Store instead of the TV version, and likely also tablet TH-cam too. Those tablet apps are designed for touch input, rather than a remote control.
Your daughter is so cute!
Just my 2 cents from a lumos owner for half a year.
The brightness and picture quality is amazing for movie nights, watching in dark but definitely not so good for watching it in broad daylight like what you shown!!
Your living room is somewhat like mine, still got a lot of light when the blinds are drawn, so not the best. Cant compare to TV, projector can make screen so big
No doubt that it works great in pitch blackness like all projectors do (even those with 30 lumens).
But the website states that this is a 6000 lumens projector which should be able to project a reasonably clear image even in ambient lighting conditions (eg. office, auditorium etc). You can Google other 6000 lumen projectors and their capabilities.
This is the main gripe that i have - a little misrepresentation in my opinion....
@@LivingLifeLAUd thank god for people like you who provide a good, clear and honest review.
Hi. Any projector you can recommend? A handy type. Thanks for your honest review. Been planning to buy this for my birthday but nah 🤭.. lucky i saw this
Its hard to recommend without knowing your budget but i would say if you're watching youtube or HD video in a dark environment, this is good enough. If you're looking for quality projectors, Sony and BenQ do have really good laser ones.
Thanks very helpful, and very sweet daughter you have :) Planning to get it to watch stuff with my 18mo - he currently has close to zero screen time aside for the occasional 1 min videos of him. Are the words blurry? He is starting to be mindful of words and dont want him squinting eyes at all
Thanks! The words will be blurry in some parts of the screen especially if your projector is not placed directly in front of the screen. Its still acceptable for TH-cam videos but not for documents.
Hi, can i check with you whats your total internal storage? Mine only have 3.87gb total free space and i saw some review said its got total 8gb internal storage. thanks!!
using lumos for 2 years...there is a dard red spot on the left side of screen about half a year ago...now horizontal lines appear on the right of my screening.....
Nice review. Just to check if connect phone via HDMI , will there be a lag in audio ??
Connections via Hdmi wouldn't have any lag.
Thanks for your honest review, I personally have doubt over the claimed 6000 lumens but from your video, I believe it should have 1200 to 1500 ANSI Lumens max.
I have some other benQ and Epson business class projector rated at 3300 and 5000 ANSI lumens, at merely 20% brightness also can outperform this local brand.
Yeah, I think so too... that's why I wanted to show the true performance rather than relying on sponsored reviews...
🙏🏿 tHank you
Most welcome!
Check Carousell SG Lots of used Lumos on sale, not because its popular but owners got a ripped off on this product and wants to resell, prices from $300 to $400. You can have other brand with same specs at $150 range & brand new.
Keystone adjustment is a FIRM NO-NO! This is because it will compromise image sharpness plus introduce discernable geometry distortion like what you experienced.
I would say that the keystone implementation here is not good. My Sony laser projector works perfectly.
Are you able to read wordings clearly? Like are slideshow presentations with paragraphs filled with wordings sharp enough to be read at maximum scale of the projection output?
I haven't tried presentations but whenthe projector is placed at an angle, words on icons on the screen are blurred at the sides and sharp at the centre.
@@LivingLifeLAUd I see, i'll research more about it then. Thanks for the input, great review by the way 👌🏻
A like for Alissa 😊
Thanks for the unbias review.
Most welcome!
Hi. How does this projector perform when it comes to projecting Word documents ? I await your reply. Tks
It's OK if you project it straight on, but if at an angle, there will be out of focus areas. I wouldn't recommend it for professional use. It's purely a cheap entertainment projector.
Can we install any application separtely that run android tv I mean apk or can install android other apps like Amazon prime ?
You can install apps from Google Play found in the Smart version of the projector .
Is it possible to connect an external speaker to it via Bluetooth or cable when using AirPlay?
Not sure about that cos I don't use Airplay. But I reckon a cable connection would be fine.
Hi Sir, can I kindly ask where can I get a projector screen like yours and what's the price!
Hi, I can't recall exactly since it was quite a number of years ago. You can try to Google for it, I think it was less than $200.
It certainly doesn't look like 6000 lumens brightness. Anyway, the difference between the sharpness on the right and left sides has nothing to do with whether it's a laser projector or not. It's because it doesn't have lens shift.
Yeah, the 6000 lumens seems be overhyped marketing...
As for the sharpness, I'm not familiar with lens shift, but my laser projector doesn't have this focus issue even without lens shift.
@@LivingLifeLAUd Anyway thanks a lot for the unbiased review
May i know whats the best color for the wall for projecting? its not white?
It's more of a personal preference. People usually go with white or black.
@@LivingLifeLAUd Thanks
Hi bro i have two questions:
1. Is your projector is a short throw type?
2. What is your projector screen diagonal size & the surface colour?
Thank you in advance 👍🏻
No, this is not short throw.
I don't recall the size of my screen, and the color is white.
Right now, I'm protecting on my wall.
Are you able to sign in TH-cam in the projector?
Yups. No problems there.
is it fun to watch football games like kedai mamak? outdoor place
It's fun to watch outdoors as well, as long as its at night.
Hello, may I know can we auto connect a bluetooth speaker using this lumos projector?
I haven't tried it, but their site says that the projector might not be compatible with all Bluetooth speakers...
Bro where you buy the projector screen from? And do you recommend it?
Hi, I can't remember exactly where cos I bought it 6 years ago. You can try to Google for projector screen in Singapore. You can also consider black screens for better contrast.
@@LivingLifeLAUd planning to buy the non-smart version. Is it compatible with google chromecast?
Even my "smart" one doesn't connect with my Samsung S20 Ultra.. so I don't know about the non-smart one. But not a big issue for me since I don't cast much with my phone anyway.
What projector would you recommend?
Its hard to recommend without knowing your budget but i would say if you're watching youtube or HD video in a dark environment, this is good enough. If you're looking for quality projectors, Sony and BenQ do have really good laser ones.
Hi, how do you type to search for something on youtube for example? Do u need a separate keyboard for that? Thanks for answering!
You can use the remote to key in letter by letter or connect a separate Bluetooth keyboard (which is much faster!).
May i know the size of your screen? And how much is it.. any link for that?ty
Hmm, I don't the measurements per se but I can project a 100 inch screen on it. I bought it at least 5 years ago so I don't remember the place...
i have 1 n i cant connect any computer to it through wireless, project in windows and with it build in miracast. maybe u can
Hmm.. I haven't tried connecting using wireless. I just use a hdmi cable...
@@LivingLifeLAUd could u try n give some thought on it
Can you connect to your own speakers/soundbar?
I haven't tried. The speakers on the projector are pretty loud. So it's enough for me.
I just got my lumos auro. However when running youtube videos, fast action movement the frames moving jerky, not smooth. Same goes to netflix video. When showing fast moving scene, can see the jerky frames. Probably the processor or RAM cannot handle. Quite disappointed
Yups. Sometimes mine's like that as well. But for the most part, it's still OK.
@@LivingLifeLAUd i see. So its not me got this problem. The LUMOS team keep saying its my internet connection. When i put in on LAN it still the same problem. So they finally agree to do a 1 for 1 exchange, i got the replacement is more worst then the previous set. If the set cannot handle the RAM requirement they shd be honest and not advertising that the set can run the video very smoothly.
Any physical shop that sell this? Or only buy online?
There's only the online option as far as I know. I think they take orders and then place orders with their China supplier...
hey does anybody lumos auro blackout from time to time.
its just a short 1 sec click. then the screen will come back on and resume.
is this normal.
it happens every 30min
Sounds very much like a defective unit... I would suggest that you return it.
Now we know about the Lumos Auro, what about Lumos Ray? Does anyone know the difference?
The Lumos Ray is only 720p, so picture quality is even worse...
@@LivingLifeLAUd Thanks!
can this projector zoom in and out on a fix location
Haven't tried it but the functionalities are pretty limited...
Where did you buy this from?
You can only buy it online. Just Google for the site.
White not the best for daylight.. they make grey and black paints, and grey and black projector screens that work way better.
Thanks for the suggestions! But grey/ black screens are expensive and not so readily available. Also, most people usually won't paint their walls dark grey or black (myself included!). I'm a little skeptical of the 6000 lumens rating...
@@LivingLifeLAUd havent tried it yet but paintings ur white screen is always an option..paints run 30$ on up.. just ideas i had for myself as well... yes grays and black are crazy expensive for what they are...
How many days to get this projector?
Took abt 7 days from order to delivery. Quite a long while...
it does come in bluetooth right? usb files can be played also?
Yes, it has Bluetooth in the smart version, and you can play files on your USB as well.
Comel your daughter!
Can it connect to a tv box?
Hi bro, as msged, it can connect to anything via hdmi
from what i see, this is only a under 2000 lumen projector, false claim spec. kids toys.
That's what I suspect as well... waiting for a professional to test/check it. 😉
should have watch your review before buying. 6000 lumens is so doubtful. my other 3200 lumens projectors performs way better.
Yeah. It's the same for me watching other sponsored videos, so that's why I wanted to make an objective review.
I doubt it's 6000 lumens...
Agree it sounded too good to be true
If it really 6000lm, boy they're stupid at a whole new planet by selling at that pricing range
Hi, can i know ur other 3200lumens protectors r wat kind of brand? Currently, in the midst to find a better projector
I think this is aun akey6s copy
SUBS
Like for the daughter. 😂
man screw Lumos i want a daughter now
Is it Singapore plug?
Yes it is
Scam company?
I would leave it to the public to decide on that... ;)
But a few points to note - this is a rebranded product from China (www.alibaba.com/product-detail/-Amazon-Hot-Native-1080p-Projector_62421492225.html?spm=a2700.icbuShop.41413.11.198846f8Zbai3N) and i would be interested to see if someone can test if its really 6000 lumens.
If you want a cheap entertainment projector for casual use, i would say just go buy it. If you want one for more professional uses, check out more established brands and also consider short-throw and laser projectors.
Great product, but not worth the hassle…
To be fair, it's good enough for casual family movie nights. I'm still using it. 😄
