I've just bought this from your recommendation and am rewatching this for the settings on the projector, so far it's looking great! Thanks man!
Awesome!!!
bro I think this is the best video of a budget projector ive seen... Ive loved how you compared them pretty much side by side. Only one ive seen to do that.
Thanks! My wife and I made the leap and bought this v600 off Amazon with a 84 in tripod screen(10'x12' basement setup). Lemme just say it's absolutely amazing at this price for a screen this size. The settings you recommended worked brilliantly! Great advice and help for newbies!
Glad it helped!
Thanks for the review. You can buy one for $200 now. At that price it's a steal especially for outdoor use or business.
I'd buy a used car with three wheels from this guy! I think I've just been sold on the Vankyo V600. Thanks Mr. Joe N Tell.
I'll take that as a compliment although my integrity would not allow me to sell you that car unless it was meant to have 3 wheels. 😉
My goal is just to set realistic expectations about what a product does or doesn't do well. That way people can decide whether it suits their needs or not.
I've seen a few comments about quality control issues, so be aware that's a possibility. I didn't have any QC issues with mine.
@@joentell Very good! Gotta have integrity. My first projector was a Sharp ( a $grando) in 2007. Very satisfied. 2nd, UHappy for $150, not happy! I looked up the Vankyo on Amazon and just by chance, came across the Gzelnic with Bluetooth, Apps and MirrorCast for a hundo more! 4 1/2 Stars. Gotta ask my own personal tech guy his thoughts on Monday. Thanks Joe N Tell for leading me to the Gzelnic in a round about way! 🇺🇸
I don't think those projectors are native 1080p though. They look like they're native 1280x800. Just thought you should know. This Vankyo is native 1080p.
@@joentell You know those things. My tech friend knows those things. Me, not too much. In comparison, I'm the Geico caveman with a tennis racket sticking out the backpack! I'll pass your info onto James. Happy 5th! 🇺🇸
Just set up my new projector according to your settings. Looks much better! Thanks a bunch.
Hey Joe, a perfect review, right on the money and all the caveats well detailed. I have one of their units from, maybe, the last generation. Your review of this is nearly the exact review I would give my unit. The bonus is now I know I don't need to upgrade (same lens/focus/keystone issue, same color capabilities, same too loud fan.)
I bought mine to put up stuff on the wall so I wouldn't be listening to music in the dark... But it turns out I love scale (in both speakers and images) and have rather enjoyed movies on it. It's far from a perfect picture, but for us old folks who used to go small theaters to watch obscure films etc, this is actually a comparatively great picture to that... things change....
So thanks for the review and I dig your style, really solid, useful reviews. Cheers.
I'm glad you enjoyed the review!
Thanks for the video man, been looking at every projector from this price range and I think this has to be the best one.
I completely understand the knowledge of showing every detail in a scene whether it's a dark scene or light. Even though the 4k projector most probably shows those details much better, I've never minded loosing some detail in the dark scenes and showing more contrast. I actually prefer the cheaper projector images than the more expensive which seem to appear more washed out plus I love watching movies in complete darkness.
Ive just ordered this for under £200, for 50000 hours at 1080p its a no brainer for gaming on a wall. I used projectors about 10 years ago and I paid £600 for a 1080p with about 3000 hours which is why I am looking for another to replace it. I think a projector is a great way to go since I have had tvs in the past that broke after a few years, and that was a £1500 tv, not cheap to just throw away.
Dude! Nice video 👍. Hit all the need to knows as well as the custom setting, perfect. Seriously though not sure how long you worked on this but, godamn great editing, delivery was on point, Haven't even watched but this one video from you but damn, can't wait to browse the rest. You have a great future ahead of you brother... found this going down one of my usual TH-cam rabbit holes, this time with projectors. Did not expect this level of quality based on the number of views as well as your subscriber count. Keep it up 💪
Thank you! I actually have another budget projector video coming soon!
Looks great for the price.
My only experience with cheap led projectors has been that their fans are loud and the lenses warp the image quite a lot.
But based on these demo images this one might not be suffering from warping.
Perfect! I was looking for a cheap projector to replace my very old (and free) 540p projector for parties
I have a native 720p LED projector that I bought for $110. Works great for the price. I use it in a portable setup in my living room. The only negative is the fan is kind of loud. Also the keystone sucks. Other than that it works perfect for my needs.
Very complete and fair review, Joey! Invaluable to see the transitions between image quality instead of just side by side. Much more dramatic differences can be understood immediately. I also like how you provided the calibration settings to help people whom have purchased this projector. Adds even more value to the review!..and yes, i am considering a projector, so doing some initial research and where better to start, then at your channel!:) Take care buddy.
Thank you! I try. I'm glad it helped. Have you seen my review of the VIVImage Explore 3? I like that one more.
Thanks I'll try those calibration settings, I'm enjoying this projector and currently using the xbox1s to the yamaha rxa680 to this Vankyo on a 84" inch pull-down from Amazon.
Overall impressed for my 1st projector and will be keeping an eye out for a 4K projector in the upcoming end of thr year.
I have the V630 Performance and it’s amazing. It’s essentially the same price. But the fan doesn’t throw air out the back and they seemed to have fixed the lag and the corner/edge blur that some of the projectors had. I have it throwing onto a 150” screen at roughly 14 feet away. A tv will always be better than a projector if the room isn’t fairly dark so keep that in mind before you buy anything.
For as much as one of those tiny pico projectors is going for I would buy this in a heartbeat.
I was thinking about getting one of these but will now spend more money on a better projector, thanks very much for a really professional video!
Joe, great video! Thank you for the information.
I’ve seen most of your reviews on projectors, well done and honest! Could you do a review of the WIMIUS P28? That would be great. Thanks in advance.
I just bought it and I’m so excited to see how good it is
Picked it up on woot, your review sold me as $150 being worth an outdoor/traveling projector for fun.
This is the best review i have ever seen. Thank you
it would be nicer to have a two projectors side by side comparison, rather than switching back and forth, but very helpful video nonetheless
The reason the green is strong is it likely uses a alternating pattern of red, green, blue, green for the LEDs. Every other pixel is green either vertically, or horizontally. This is also the pattern used by most sensors in digital cameras to capture better nature shots. The numbers you set up for the RGB values indicate it uses this pattern.
That's probably right
The perfect review. Outstanding stuff.
I picked up an old Casio projector with their LED/laser light engine. 1200 lumens and expected 20,000 hours for $80.00. It had 2000 hours on the counter. These can also be tweaked to give outstanding results. Their R&D into the light engine gives a unique high quality light source, must have absorbed millions of dollars/billions yen? Along with the DLP micromirror device we all know and good quality lens, these are amazing value. Some early units had issues with the Texas chip and failing mirrors. Get a good one and it will give you long service at 720p.
Recently picked this up for 80 bucks and Im very happy cant complain.
Hola Amigo, i own TWO v600's. i sold my Vankyo Leisure 510 to buy the V600. its on a decent 110" Elite fixed frame. i am more than satisfied. Because for the price the picture is more than acceptable, no lamp to worry about, and uses a lot less energy than lamp projectors, so less heat in my HT room !
U NEED TO KNOW : i have bought two (one for work presentations and one for my home HT. the picture was VERY different between the two. Is one defective or quality different between them because of low cost parts ? i dont know. but of course i kept the best for my HT.
Thanks a lot for the recomended settings ! i tried to set it myself but coulnt get the picture that nice !
Great review, i love it when you do these low cost reviews.
That's interesting about the two different picture qualities with the two V600's. What was the differences you noticed between the good one and the not-so-good one?
i cant post pictures here so i sent it to your email 🙂
@@chefchutardo5215 any details on this? i'm concerned and thinking of buying
the two work perfectly fine. but one has a better picture. they both have same firmware version. so hard to explain why its different. maybe its just that the parts are not selected (discarding lower quality one from assembly line). but at that price it would make sense, they cant start discarding parts. but i still love my Vankyo V600, its a great projector ! so i would still buy it with no worry. i did a lot of research and everyone seems happy and i cant really find any reliability complaints.
how does it compare to Leisure 510? is it worth it? I've heard this one is louder. thank you?
I got one very similar to this. When using Netflix, Google Play, Disney there is no volume at all to either the built in speaker or my external speakers, No matter how many times I delete the app or reinstall it on the projector itself it is always an older version to the phone applications. The only apps for me that have volume are Stan and TH-cam and Kay sports. Has anyone else experienced this problem with audio and app version on the projectors google store?
I was looking at the Vankyo Performance V630W on clearance at Walmart but when I found out the ANSI lumens were at 290. I opted for a used ViewSonic Pro 8300 with 3000 lumens. I prefer a higher quality video and brightness because I watch movies with the lights on in the room.
I had one used it one night then returned it mine was too dark and could not focus plus the colors was off bad it started to make a loud noise too I think though it would be ok for VHS movies in a supper dark room
Thank you for sharing, very professional review.
Thank you for letting me know!
I just order this projector, thanks for the review!
Cheap projectors it seems get you a picture but image shutter isn’t the greatest or you have to compromise in other features. Like I really like the optoma uhd50 but you have to have it almost centered in front of the screen.
Very nice review Joe! One thing I was hoping that you would comment on is using a USB Flash Drive/ External Hard Drive to play MP4 or MKV movies. This would probably be the primary use for me so it's important to know what this thing will play and won't it wont' play. If anyone know please let me know.
Yes sorry, I didn't try that out
Thanks for the settings, Joe. I was having horrible red saturation on my unit and your settings helped settle it down a bit, but I feel like its still a little over red. Also, can you direct me/ us to the firmware updates? I didn't see anything on the Vankyo site.
Well, it seems these cheapo projectors are slowly getting good enough for casual users...
I'll get this one. Looks good enough for anime, ps4, and netflix.
@@shophet125 How's it been so far
@@shophet125 curious too
Hi i have a 120 inch screen i need to know if 12 feet is far enough for it to fith the 120 inch screen ty
Joe, just watch this video, I know I'm almost a year late, but I'm looking to buy my first projector for outdoor use at my cottage for Netflix nights. Have you tried the Vankyo Leisure 470 compare to this V600? I get the image quality is superior on the V600, but I like the Wifi option on the 470....I could get the V600 at $199 vs $110 for 470, what would you pick?? or any other suggestion around the $150 mark. Thanks Joe, great video!!
I like this one th-cam.com/video/dAzJNarpOVc/w-d-xo.html
Add a fire stick or Roku and you're set
Vankyo V600 vs WiMiUS P20
I’m going to buy a cheap projector. This is currently $20 more on Amazon. Would love if you could compare them. The P20 appears to be better but I’d like to know for sure.
I don't have one to compare
Vivibright F30?
Alfawise Q9?
Thies are even cheaper, might consider looking at These for the real Budget.
So this one is not good for beaming into my ceiling above my bed. Because it needs to be be on a angle and than it gets blurry :(
Is this the same as the Cibest? they look identical
I think so
I just received this projector and tried your user settings. I found it lacking color. Verging on black and white. Lol. Standard looked more color rich.
Perhaps different projectors have different profiles. I wouldn’t be surprised. These are $249 projectors after all
@@joentell Lol. Very true. You may be right about that.
Hi! I'm bought this projector but can't seem to use my USB 3.0 on it to play movies? Do you know what to do?
Question if i wanted to use this projector outside do you think 150inches it would still have a good picture?
The manufacturer claims up to 300". I think if it's dark enough, it can do 150" no problem.
@@joentell Thanks for answer i have been looking for a projector for outside for late night movies
I just tried and the colour profile works perfectly. I have a question though. How do i set the focus on this projector as it seems to be very difficult to get the sharpest image.
Another part to the question is that I have fiddled with the keystone, now how do i bring it to exact center position since keystone in this projector is useless. Please tell.
There was a little notch where I felt the keystone was centered. Not sure it's possible to get everything in focus without modifications.
With the color profile, experiment with increasing color saturation. I have mine at 50. It depends on room and distance.
@@joentell Thank you for the suggestion! You made the experience better for me.
@@joentell Hi Joe. I wanted to ask you something. My projector is not showing any flashing bars in AVS HD 709 black clipping, no matter how high i set the brightness. I tried playing the test pattern on laptop and via USB drive. The information in the black areas seems to be missing! Please help!
@@nirmansarkar you need to mess with contrast instead of brightness
@@joentell i tried , reducing and increasing contrast, but in vain. I guess it is beyond the capacity of this projector
Very informative great review
I never had a projerctor but got one to try. mine was 80 bucks and makes a decent 8 foot screen and is 1080p too. tft led projector. up to 1680 imagining and 30k hours on the bulb, so cheap theres not even a company name on the box, but I put my wide screen away and watch this daily now. bigger but certainly not the detail of my other screen...but playing video games on a 8 foot screen? why not?
used those settings on the v630 it looks good
the color that is, not the birghtness page ones, that washed it out
@@mrdjohn21 Use "Point to Point" from the Aspect Ratio selection. For some reason this changes the colour response, and it no longer blows out the bright areas nor crushes the detail in black areas. (You'll have to re-calibrate afterwards, as things are so different, but after that it's so much better!)
I hate the fan noise from the projector. Maybe someone knows which models don't make noise?
I got a dr j projector with native 1080p for $80
What projector would recommend for 120 inch projector screen? Under $400?
That's tough. The most commonly recommended budget projectors are BenQ and Optoma. See what they have in your price range.
Great video. Love your content boss. Also do you mind sharing the name of that projector stand that you are using and where you bought it? TIA
Thank you! I'm glad you liked it.
I wasn't using a projector stand, but Vankyo makes one on Amazon. Here's my Amazon Affiliate link if you're interested: bit.ly/VankyoTripod
Cool thanks boss.
Is the fan noise?
What is the biggest screen size vivihome 20 foot diagonal jumbo screen size??? Would this show?
I think they say 300" which is 25 feet
I would like to use this with a programable/ universal remote i have. does anyone know the IR code (4 digit code) to use so i can power on/off? I have tried the "learn" function but it hasnt picked it up
how can i connect speakers to this ? ike a home theater?
Great video! You think the Vankyo is a better choice than the Wimius P20 also 1080 full HD native?
Thank you! I haven't tried the others.
Could you test it?
My vankyoo projectors focus knob is stuck, the lens can’t extend.
Sounds like perhaps the gears got dislodged somehow. Maybe try opening it? Or send it back if it's within the warranty period.
Great video.
How is the heat coming off this LED projector vs lamp based units?
It puts off some, but a lot less than my other lamp based ones.
Thanks for the fast reply and excellent video review. I am currently looking at the LG line of home theatre projectors (LED and laser) because of the heat generation from lamp based units. I recently demoed Sony lamp based projector at BestBuy and it raised the temperature in the Magnolia Room really fast. Thanks again.
Imo the vankyo picture looks better, maybe it looks different on video?
Perhaps you prefer a more contrasty look. The others just provide more dynamic range showing highlights and shadow detail at the same time.
Me too. However it does look darker in some scenes so detail seems to be missing.
Hi Joe, what images do you use to calibrate sharpness and color? thanks in advanced!
What’s that track tho??
View sonic has a really good projector for $270ish. I bought one for my stepson and was blown away by the quality.
Just looked at the box and it’s not true 1080. Damnit
🤣 unlucky bro
Do you have colour settings for the v600?
Hello I am looking to buy a new projector and this was one of my options but thanks to your review I saw the problems, Can you recommend me the Best Projector for movies under 500 dollars?
I think around that price, I would look at BenQ and Optoma projectors.
I have to say though I really think that the best budget projectors are all from Taiwan companies Taiwan knows how to do it. Well let me correct myself they make all different levels of projectors but most of the Taiwanese brands are so good quality. That you can't go wrong
You can get this cheaper. Keyword is aun m18. It's OEM.
you can get the new v630 for 125 shipped from alibaba, keyword is z02 projector. mine just came today to replace an 800 dollar 720P NEC projector.
Are the fans really noisy
Joe, fantastic video. Do know how I would be able to hook up my bluetooth speakers to the projector? Thanks.
I'm not sure if that's possible
@@joentell thanks. I was hoping to put a bluetooth transmitter in the headphone jack or the hdmi.
@@joemurray9001 that would work. Just make sure the speakers you're transmitting to has a low latency so there's little to no delay for the audio
I bought one, and had to send it back, the picture curved up on the right side of the picture
Oh man. I'm glad mine wasn't like that
R available any country?
What about a sound test!
Has anyone tried wiring a fan speed controller to the fan? maybe it could help with fan noise.
Unfortunately the fan on these things is to cool the LED light source which gets incredibly hot to produce that amount of brightness. The only way to quiet the fan would be to replace it with high flow dampened fans but often they're not as powerful as the blower fans (I know I tried to modify my projector). If you don't cool the projector enough, you risk burning out the LED bulb or worse, burning out the LCD screen in the projector which is the most expensive part in these projectors. To modify these things properly would probably require adding larger heat sinks and multiple fans.
@@ginsengjin Thanks for the heads up. What is the rpm on the fan? You think adding two low rpm fans, adding the same air flow work?
@@darkliquid6388 From experience low rpm fans wont work unless theyre big 120mm fans or something. The blowers move a lot of air. Thats why theyre so loud.
@@ginsengjin What if you can make some more air holes, add mesh for dust protection and cut top of the projector for a 120mm fan. What kind of light is in there? A bulb or led? I was thinking of doing something like this. th-cam.com/video/_bVR2lcQQXg/w-d-xo.html
Or just replace it with a bequiet brand fan of the same size like I did makes the experience 5 times better
Side by side comparation please.
Fan is too loud
does it project 60 fps?
How big of an image can I get from 9 feet away?
I bought this 2 weeks ago and it good but not great , i had seriously had issues with it not projecting the reds properly .
Did you try my calibration settings?
@@joentell I did try your settings I think I might have got a bad model I'm not sure.
Test it for yourself by looking at the Netflix logo, the N is two different shades of red. Also watch couple cartoons if anyone with brown skin tone will come out reddish
does it have zoom option?
Had it for over a year
Great review... tell them all Jo... tell em :-)
vivibright?
I just bought an Optoma Hd143x for $300. I'm curious how it'd compare to a projector like this.
It's probably significantly better
250 bucks joe simply glorious come on now everyone is orson welles
I would defiantly not recommend this projector for the money. The projector is not a real native 1080p projector it's more like a 720p with not so good colors. The projector also is not bright especially not ppt unless you have all of the lights off.
The colors aren't the best, but this is a native 1080p panel. I think this is about 450-600 ANSI lumens. I think the native 1080p makes it worth the $249 price.
Which projector would you recommend as an alternative?
@@joentell It say's native 1080p but I can clearly see the difference in the colors and pixel density when comparing it to my XGIMI Z6 Polar 3D projector which is a native 1080p projector. I didn't see the second part, I would probably go with something like the View Sonic, or the Xinda projector for the price. If the person is into portable projector like myself there is definitely way better options for the price and will look a lot better.
definitely... not defiantly!
sounds like the jet engine from the PS4
Vankyo has deeper blacks I this comparison.
Vankyo sells more newer models in USA and old outdated garbage models in Canada. Example V700 or V630W or VF630T or VF620T (Newer models) are sold only in USA and not in Canada. What a partiality service that is Vankyo ???? By this Canadian customers are forced to only buy outdated models. I didnot buy V630 for its very high fan noise. Many had complaints with V630 for its fan noise.
The sound is bad but other than that it’s good
Joe talks about lumen rating of this PJ, however all I ever see listed is LUX numbers. Totally different. And even if we are talking about lumens, is it LED lument or ANSI lumen or some other type of lumen?
Looks like Jedx M18 clone, which can be found below $200!
its actually M18 under the name of Vankyo v600. Its written on the side of the package "model : M18 made in china"
@@Ruwaifa.Hussain
L😂L
I must have missed something. The quality looks like shit and the picture is dark noway is it 4500 lumens when the hd143x smashes it. save up get the dh143x
Have you ever trolled your neighbors by projecting porn into their living room? 🤔
MobileDecay this made my lol
hate the music
Let me tell you what this projector is really about. But before that, let me inform you that this review is way too positive for a product this crappy... Once we got this out of the way let us review this trash of a projector.
1. The fan is LOUD, you are going to have a really hard time anjoying anything on any projector with a fan like this one. ONLY FOR HEADPHONE USERS.
2. The optical elements are of really low quality (yes, I have dissasembled the thing) and the optical element responsible for keystone correction is made out of plastic. SAD...
3. There is no compensation in focus when it comes to keystone projection. What that means is that this projector will only kind of be in focus only if it's completely centered to the projection screen.
4.No. 3 leads me to this one... you are not going to get a crisp image... even if you align it perfectly with the projection screen, the corners won't be in focus.
5. No.3 again. If you try to project on any angle using keystone correction the whole image gets extremely blurry. UNACCEPTABLE!
6. Regarding No.3... there is no way you can mount it anywhere because it MUST be at the center of the projection screen, centered width and height wise!
Look, I already have bought 2 projectors in my life (3 with this chinese one), the one costed me 650 euros and got burnt in a fire (along with the house, but the projector didn't have anything to do with it :D) and the other one costed me 1600 euros (Epson EH-TW7200). I know what a proper projector should look like. I know what is barely acceptable and what is definetely not... This piece of trash shouldn't be sold... and if it did, it should cost under 100 euros...
MY ADVICE:
Please... go and buy an Epson, BenQ, Optoma or some other reputable brand with decent optics and engineering... This chinese product isn't a cheap alternative, it's a different product altogether...
Nowadays you can get reputable Full HD projector for 450 bucks or something. Those 200 bucks less aren't worth it... Get something decent and enjoy your content.
Before I go... this channel has my dislike for presenting a really bad product for a decent one. You should be honest with your viewers and not missleading them.
I said all of the things you mentioned in my video. Every single one. Maybe your difference of unacceptable is different than mine. I even started off the video saying that it isn't better than my BenQ and showed examples.
Next time you feel like offering something, maybe try making your own video instead of making a long post trying to bash MY opinion which I stand by.
You said it yourself, they are different products. People looking for a cheap projector are not going to be trying to get the best quality. And on the other end of the spectrum, people looking for quality are not going to buy a 250 dollar projector.
It's like telling people "Hey, the Toyota Yaris is not the greatest car. It has bad acceleration. It doesn't have a lot of horse power. It uses cheap materials. Go buy a Ford GT." It doesn't make any sense.
I agree 100%
Did you get a solution for the loud fan?
@@joop646 maybe can you replace but i dont know size
Too expensive
