I have the Mi Projector 2 Pro. How did you do a "custom color adjustment"? The projector's background pallet is noticeable around the displayed image. It is more noticeable when the keystoning is stronger. It appears the contrast is too high but can't be changed. I've tried all typical settings but still see a noticeable non-black area when watching anything. The gets pretty warm after a few minutes as well. Is this normal for a DLP projector?
great informative vid, how would you recommend between xgimi horizon and this one? besides pricing. am looking at long term quality. how about 4k videos? if i use Nvidia shield will it help upscale the Resolution?
Thanks. I did not try XGIMI HORIZON. Can't comment much. But it is overpriced. Since you are using Nvidia Shield, better get non-Android projector like Optoma at the same price range. amzn.to/3BeuxzG

Would really appreciate your feedback. Thanks.
Hi Jayce. I upgraded from Wanbo T2 Max to Projector Pro 2. It’s amazing! But it’s heavier and my previous tripod cannot support the weight. Do you have any stand or tripod that you can recommend? Must it be always pointing straight? Because I realize if I project it from the side, there is still a lighted area apart from the screen
Get a small table. Don't use stand. This is normal for all projector when not projecting straight. As I always said, direct projection gives the best image quality.
Hello. Thanks for the video. I have the same projector but mine does not do keystone correction automatically. I have to adjust manually. Is that normal? Do I have to calibrate first or something? Thanks

Thanks a lot for the dedicated review, you are a rockstar sir! quick question, does this projector also suffer from the autofocus issue, like the xiaomi compact 2?
I started to shop for my first projector a month ago, not knowing much about them. Initially I wanted to get a Lumos after seeing some ads on social media, then a Wanbo T2 Max. After finding out about Jayce Ooi’s TH-cam channel….. the image and price for VP6 looks good, after that, saw Jayce shared a deal on Wemax Smart Lite, ordered it but had to cancel it recently due to some problems with the order. Yesterday, I threw my budget down the drain 🙈 and ordered a Mi Smart Projector 2 Pro from a local retailer. Received it 24 hours later 😃 Jayce, thanks for sharing the knowledge and assisting indirectly in buying my first projector. Great content and keep up the good work 👍👍
@@akashgrowth AURO is basically AKEYS. Please watch this video - th-cam.com/video/zUs_2NgTwMw/w-d-xo.html They are over-priced as they spent too much marketing fee. You can get same model from other brands with much cheaper price.
I'm thinking about doing the same, it's just quite a lot more money, I'm mostly worried that it won't last very well (lots of the cheaper projectors I saw online got black spots and stuff after like 6-9 months), so still holding back
Thank you for the great review. I bought the global Version of this porjector, and I am also very pleased with it. It seems, that the settings menu is a little bit different. Not sure for example that I have the option to zoom the screen.
Hi it's me again with a question. The Mi Smart Projector 2 is ranked #5 on your list. Where does this Projector 2 Pro rank on your list? Oh never mind, I found your other video saying the Pro is better. As always, great channel. I'll definitely recommend to friends!
@@harrysutherland156 Several reasons. You can read them from global model owners here. Newer model does not mean better - watch this th-cam.com/video/9KIcV8J23_s/w-d-xo.html
In a review, native contrast 500/1 was measured, don't you think this value is too low. How is the contrast according to you, did you like the blacks? Do you think it's viewsonic m2 or mijia 2 pro?
@@ufukg.355 No idea on the value. Black is not as black when compared to those projectors with lower brightness. But this is expected. Grey screen is needed for projector with 1000+ ANSI Lumens. Black screen for 2000+ ANSI Lumens. And you can project bigger and brightness. As for M2, it is just 0.33" DMD just like Mi Smart Compact. Mijia 2 Pro is much better with 0.47" DMD. You can see the comparison @ th-cam.com/video/gp4QYh4mDG8/w-d-xo.html
hi jayce I have one question.. hope you can answer What is the difference between the Chinese version and the global version? Which one do you recommend?
Hi Jayce! Thanks for the video. I've been trying to update the firmware for the chinese version, however it is freezing at 75%. This has happened multiple times. When you updated the firmware to 1.4.0.2582 did you have any trouble?
You are most welcome. Yes, firmware updating is slow and painful. Connection to China is not good on my ISP. But no worry, take your time. It will be updated in the end. Just leave it...
Hi! Did you have any success installing the Chinese version? I want that one since it have the control over red channel which is ugly in the global version
Hi Jayce, when i install youtube using APK method, i get error says "TH-cam wont run without Google Play services" , even after installing Google play using APK, same error.. if you can share right TH-cam APK file that would be very helpful
Hi Jayce, thanks for the review. Is there any difference between Mijia Projector 2 Pro and Mi Smart Projector 2 Pro or are they the same? Since I learned Mi Smart Compact Projector and Mi Smart Projector 2 are not the same, I'm being extra cautious.
hi thanks for this video sir. Does the projector work perfect with a xbox or playstation ? I would like to use it for gaming GTA 5 and GTA online and Red dead redemption, or NBA 2k
Hi Jayce, thanks for the review. I have a question about portable projectors with built-in batteries, for example, Formovie Dice, do you know if this type of projectors can be used plugged in? Also, any alternatives for the Formovie Dice that you could suggest, same price range, and built-in battery is not needed..?
Thanks for the response. I thought Formovie Dice is better because the ANSI lumens is 700. Also, did you check out the Mi Smart Projector 2 (non-Pro) version? I believe the multi-angle auto-keystone correction is a new feature? But I am unable to find purchase links for the global version, do you have any?
@@sutheshvasudhev7028 Mi Smart Projector 2 (non-Pro) comes with Android 6.0, Don't have HDMI ARC port, SPDIF & eathernet port. Its an absolate model which was replaced with pro variant.
I'm not sure if we're talking about the same model here guys, but I'm referring to the Mi Smart Projector 2 that Xiaomi just announced last month with Android TV OS, Xiaomi has an official page for it, TechRadar has reviewed it, I'm just unable to share links here, comment gets deleted if I do that. I do agree though that it is missing some key features as Ashok mentioned, though I'm not too sure about the Android TV OS version. Announcement video is here th-cam.com/video/kYppzKuoX1o/w-d-xo.html.
Jayce, one side query though. What you do with those products which you had already reviewed & not using the product anymore? Do you sell those in discounted price?
Hi my friend! I will use the projector about 2-3 metres from the wall, for movies and ps4 gaming. I also want to use it sometimes with some ambient light, do you recommend this mijia projector 2 or wanbo t6 max?

Hi Jayce, thank for the review. Though there are lot of review about pro 2 available in youtube, they are mear unboxing. None go the route you take. Anyway, I started with VP6 after seeing your review, then plan to upgrade to mi compact projector when that tops in your chart. Then saw this pro 2 review. now thinking instead going for Mi compact I might aswell buy pro 2. Just waiting your direct comparion video (compact vs pro 2), before place the order. Your banggood link - Do they charge custom duty to Malaysia ? Are you located in Malaysia ? If I buy from Lazada Malaysia, it cost $656 for global version Vs $550 (CN version in banggood with your discount coupon).
You are most welcome, Ashok. Compact vs 2 Pro video is coming but not so soon. Still busying with other products' review. Yes, a Malaysian. The main different between China and Global that I know so far. China Model - T972-H - MIUI TV - Miracast & AirPlay Global Model - T962X-H - Android TV - Chromecast - LAN might be 100M only

Does this mean the global version sold now is not the inferior T962 chip model anymore? Please help as I really can't figure this out 🙏🙏

Hi Jaycee, i tried updating the firmware to get English but i got to the firmware part but it doesn't seem to update and the bar doesn't move. Would you know why?
I just bought this projector but the problem is that I can't load apps from android playstore (youtube etc.). Can you tell me how to do it? Thanks for your help.
Huge fan of your reviews, but do you think it's worth the money to upgrade from Mi Smart Compact to this one? I would love to see a side by side comparison video!
I bought a global version of this projector. There are some image setting issues in the Android 9.0 OS. For one, you can't adjust custom white balance and the dynamic saturation is no where to be found so the color is always over saturated. Then if yo use custom image mode in HDMI input, when switching to the HDMI view the image is very blurry, it seems it is highly compressed / low bitrate. Then if you use a preset image mode the white balance is off so grey is having a green cast. Is there anywhere I can report those bugs to? I tried to look at their official website but it seems it is really really hard to send user feedback.
Hey, i'm noticing the exact same issue. Glad to read that someone else is having that blurry / low bitrate feel with hdmi input. The more customer feedback we send, the more chance we hate them to resolve it !
@@loislehouerf6533 Unfortunately it seems no one at their side cares about user feedback once their product is sold. I still have this projector and despite it's awesome resolution, long life and quiet operation, I am planning to sell it and get a real projector like an Epson EH-TW series.

Thanks for the review, it is great as always! I have been using global version about 3 weeks now, a few differences i spotted to global to chinese are(other than you adressed); Global version doesn't have zoom out or screen shifting. There is no way to turn of dynamic contrast or dynamic color. Also no custom color adjustment(only 3 option; standart-warm-cold), only a hue bar. Aslo sound presets are limited and no custom eq (this ones a bummber). Spdif and hdmi arc is only 2 channel(at least no lag or lip sync problems). And T962 cant do 4k60 youtube decoding. Netflix and prime video (installed externally) is fine but netflix does not look great. Maybe it is 720p? Im not sure but 1080p netflix from ps4 and 4k hdr from ps5 look better than internal netflix (especially with animations, you can see jagged edges on rick and morty on internal netflix but ps4 1080p netflix has smooth edges). If i buy a second one today it will be the chinese version with a hdmi stick (mi box, amazon stick, shield tv etc). Global version has worse smart hardware and netflix looks worse than external players, so it doesnt worth extra cash just for google play store in my opinion.
Thanks for the detailed explanation of the global version. Really appreciate it. But something is not right on the Netflix and 4K TH-cam. Maybe firmware issue? They should work fine just like Mi Smart Compact Projector which use the same T962 processor.
Hi Paulie Walnuts. I also bought the global version. However, there were some issues. In addition to the differences from the Chinese version you mentioned, there was a symptom of pixel shake. Can you please check if you have the same symptoms as me? 1. Pixel shaking in still images, 2.

@@pauliewalnuts1024 TH-cam does block link. I can't even see your comment in SPAM folder. For Netflix, search for 'test patterns' and use it to test resolution. For 4K60 TH-cam, it might be firmware issue. Else too much background processes slow it down. It does work on Mi Smart Compact projector.
Nice video! Quick question tho. I'm saving up for the mi smart 1st version. I am planning to use external device anyway. Price difference between 2pro and 1st model is almost 250 euro's (both chinese versions) Is it really worth that difference for watching stuff in evening/low light.

No
I started to shop for my first projector a month ago, not knowing much about them. Initially I wanted to get a Lumos after seeing some ads on social media, then a Wanbo T2 Max. After finding out about Jayce Ooi’s TH-cam channel….. the image and price for VP6 looks good, after that, saw Jayce shared a deal on Wemax Smart Lite, ordered it but had to cancel it recently due to some problems with the order. Yesterday, I threw my budget down the drain 🙈 and ordered a Mi Smart Projector 2 Pro from a local retailer. Received it 24 hours later 😃
Jayce, thanks for sharing the knowledge and assisting indirectly in buying my first projector.
Great content and keep up the good work 👍👍
You are most welcome, dear. Enjoy the new projector. 😃
exact same journey, started with Lumos :) , so much hype in social media. @Jayce Ooi, any comment on Lumos;s projector performance ?

They are over-priced as they spent too much marketing fee.
You can get same model from other brands with much cheaper price.
I'm thinking about doing the same, it's just quite a lot more money, I'm mostly worried that it won't last very well (lots of the cheaper projectors I saw online got black spots and stuff after like 6-9 months), so still holding back

Hi Jayce, I am looking at buying wemax dice but do you think for 200 nzd (137$USD) more it is worth upgrading to the global version of the pro2?
No. Global version is a no no.
@@jayceooi I thought better brightness, sound and better DMD chip would be worth upgrading for? any key reasons why it isn't worth the upgrade?
@@harrysutherland156 Several reasons. You can read them from global model owners here.
Newer model does not mean better - watch this th-cam.com/video/9KIcV8J23_s/w-d-xo.html

but I obviously am not sure so asking you! thank you for your time!!
Hello dear jayce, What is the native contrast of this projection?
Specs does not mention. No idea here too.
In a review, native contrast 500/1 was measured, don't you think this value is too low. How is the contrast according to you, did you like the blacks? Do you think it's viewsonic m2 or mijia 2 pro?
@@ufukg.355 No idea on the value. Black is not as black when compared to those projectors with lower brightness. But this is expected. Grey screen is needed for projector with 1000+ ANSI Lumens. Black screen for 2000+ ANSI Lumens. And you can project bigger and brightness.
As for M2, it is just 0.33" DMD just like Mi Smart Compact. Mijia 2 Pro is much better with 0.47" DMD. You can see the comparison @ th-cam.com/video/gp4QYh4mDG8/w-d-xo.html

I bought a global version of this projector. There are some image setting issues in the Android 9.0 OS. For one, you can't adjust custom white balance and the dynamic saturation is no where to be found so the color is always over saturated. Then if yo use custom image mode in HDMI input, when switching to the HDMI view the image is very blurry, it seems it is highly compressed / low bitrate. Then if you use a preset image mode the white balance is off so grey is having a green cast. Is there anywhere I can report those bugs to? I tried to look at their official website but it seems it is really really hard to send user feedback.

@@ashleyflandorf3125 welcome 😊
Thanks for the review, it is great as always! I have been using global version about 3 weeks now, a few differences i spotted to global to chinese are(other than you adressed);
Global version doesn't have zoom out or screen shifting.
There is no way to turn of dynamic contrast or dynamic color. Also no custom color adjustment(only 3 option; standart-warm-cold), only a hue bar.
Aslo sound presets are limited and no custom eq (this ones a bummber). Spdif and hdmi arc is only 2 channel(at least no lag or lip sync problems).
And T962 cant do 4k60 youtube decoding. Netflix and prime video (installed externally) is fine but netflix does not look great. Maybe it is 720p? Im not sure but 1080p netflix from ps4 and 4k hdr from ps5 look better than internal netflix (especially with animations, you can see jagged edges on rick and morty on internal netflix but ps4 1080p netflix has smooth edges).
If i buy a second one today it will be the chinese version with a hdmi stick (mi box, amazon stick, shield tv etc). Global version has worse smart hardware and netflix looks worse than external players, so it doesnt worth extra cash just for google play store in my opinion.
Thanks for the detailed explanation of the global version. Really appreciate it.
But something is not right on the Netflix and 4K TH-cam. Maybe firmware issue? They should work fine just like Mi Smart Compact Projector which use the same T962 processor.
Hi Paulie Walnuts. I also bought the global version. However, there were some issues.
In addition to the differences from the Chinese version you mentioned, there was a symptom of pixel shake. Can you please check if you have the same symptoms as me?

@@허브-i4z I think this is a side effect how dlp projectors work, a lot of tiny mirrors trying to move at very high speeds to create color and shapes.
But you cant see them at the distance you watch? Then it ok. You are wayyy to close to screen/wall at those videos, my artifacts are (at 120' and watch 3 meters away from screen), become visible when im closer than 1 meter.
@@jayceooi I'm guessing video filters are different on netflix apps but im not sure, posted a link with screenshots but sadly think youtube blocked it. And about 4k60 youtube, app plays video but with huge framedrops and audio glitches, sync issues. APU just cant handle 4k60 (4k24 and 1440/60 plays fine)
@@pauliewalnuts1024 TH-cam does block link. I can't even see your comment in SPAM folder.
For Netflix, search for 'test patterns' and use it to test resolution.
For 4K60 TH-cam, it might be firmware issue. Else too much background processes slow it down. It does work on Mi Smart Compact projector.
Nice video! Quick question tho. I'm saving up for the mi smart 1st version. I am planning to use external device anyway. Price difference between 2pro and 1st model is almost 250 euro's (both chinese versions) Is it really worth that difference for watching stuff in evening/low light.
Are you referring to Banggood pricing? From what I found, it is US$150 different (with coupon). $400 vs $550.
@@jayceooi yes 1st model on banggood is 341 euros on flash sale atm vs 590 (without coupon) for the pro? With coupon its 200 euro difference.
There is also a youth edition on 1st model. Is that one different?

China models have better CPU and value in price. But no Android TV. Personally, Mijia Projector 2 Pro worth the extra $150.
@@jayceooi thanks! First chinese model shows up at 341 for me!
@@zzzwerk3200 Welcome! Just pick the one suits your needs and budget. 😊
Hello. Did they update Android? 10 or 11? Thank you,
No idea, Mijia 2 Pro is no longer with me...
@@jayceooi
Thanks,
can i connect my external hdd to play 4k movie with it? (4k movie size around 50-60gb)
Yes. You can also stream it wirelessly if you want.
Awesome content as usual! Thanks!!!
Thank you too! 😄
Does this havs auto keystoning?
As per review...
how to connect 2 bluetooth headphones at the same time?
You can't.
Are there fake versions of this being sold? The one I have is a globe version with google play but there’s no game mode and hdr seems to not work with a PS5. The ps5 says the projector is not supported with hdr.
I don't believe there is fake version. Please check with Xiaomi Support.
@@jayceooi Thanks Jayce. I contacted Xiaomi support, they just gave me standard troubleshooting tips(which I've already done) or just to return it under warranty. Haha. I'm thinking of going with the latter. Perhaps the Wemax Vogue Pro might be better for me or just a DLP projector.
@@milezeroe Glad to know that you can return it. Just pick the one that you prefer.
Versão global ou chinesa qual a melhor?
São iguais?
China model is better. No.
How is this compared to Wanbo T6 Max
Much much better!!!
