I recently bought one of these dispite watching your review. In my opinion, for $200 you’re not going to find anything better that’s new. I bought it for outdoor movies in the backyard and it works great for that. But I do agree with you, they’re misleading people, as these companies often do, on the brightness. I hate that they have to do that to make something look better than it is.
Is it bright enough for watching movie in a nearly pitch black room. I thinking about buying one
The worst review i have ever seen. LOL. I own two. It is incredible for $212.
Why? I showed you how dim it is, how you have to have it completely even with the screen, showed you how it looks inside. Showed you how terrible the keystone was. How blurry the edges of the screen are. Said the speakers were good, liked the high powered USB port, etc. what information did I leave out that you were looking for?
If you think this is incredible, you have never had a name brand projector. Once you own one of those, you can’t settle for something like this. I understand if this is the only experience you have with projectors you may think that this is good. But once you have seen what a real projector should look like, you won’t settle for this.
It's $212. Compare it to what it's designed for. It's a cheap projector and for that price it's good. It's for night viewing. And you don't have to buy a new lamp every year. I use it every day as a TV. 8 hours a day. 130 inches every day for $212. And it will last ten years. Using a top of the line projector for that amount of time will cost you a small fortune. That's why it's incredible.
I am thrilled that you are happy with your Vankyo. I was disappointed. I felt misled by the advertised 5000 LUX term and didn’t like how the company refused to tell me the lumens when i contacted them. An 11 yr old projector is brighter. It was advertised as super bright. To me and what I wanted it for it was not bright. I tried to demonstrate its features and where I felt it fell short. I said it wasn’t going to work for me and what I needed it for. There are a lot worse videos out there. A lot of “Paid” reviews too, people sent free products to make positive reviews. Mine is my honest opinion. I don’t expect everyone to agree. But hopefully it will help viewers determine if it will work for their situation. It’s ok if you don’t agree. I am glad you are happy with yours. Doesn’t make you wrong or me wrong. Just different people, different use environments, different opinions. Good talking to you and I hope you enjoy your V600 for many years to come. I’ll stick with my Epson. It makes me happy and works for my back deck theater. Watching the NFL game on it now. Turning out to be a good game too!! Take care.
I didn't mean to troll you. Sorry about that. But i did my research and it is among the best LED units. I agree about the screw. I agree about the edges. I agree with what you didn't like about it. I just thought the long daylight comparison to be unfair as the unit is not designed for that. And yes, most of the cheaper units use lux as a selling point. It does not compare to lumens. Just like lumens does not compare to ANSI lumens. You really have to do your research. But i apologize for the trolling. Peace to you and keep getting better.
I have this projector hanging from my ceiling and I have the same issue with focus. I thought I had my measurements off, or my screen wasn’t square and it’s a nice screen from silver ticket. No matter what I do the bottom right corner is blurry. Glad to see it’s the projector and not something I did wrong with set up. Think I’m gonna save up and replace it with a nice Epson or BenQ.
I agree with you 100%. It’s the projector. It’s not a terrible projector for someone’s first projector. But if you have ever seen/used a name brand projector you see how much better the Brightness, focus, keystone, angle adjustment, picture tuning, colors, etc are and should be. You see all the ways this Vankyo falls short. I spent less on a used Epson with 4600 true lumens, over this new Vankyo that has maybe 1200 lumens. The Epson is a few years old and still dominates this Vankyo. Good luck on your projector search.
What do you expect from a budget projector on a crappy screen in broad daylight, of course your not going to be able to see it outside...
When it is advertised as super bright and fooling people with 5000 LUX numbers. I expected it to be super bright. It is not as advertised. Also I proved that a bright projector can be seen out there. The Vankyo is not as bright as a $35 11 year old projector. I expected better for a 2019 projector.
@@107proof Chinese marketing lol
The main advantage I see of the new one over your 11yo one is the new one is LED and the lamp will last 50,000 hours where the old one only lasts 3-4,000 hours. I had projectors from 2006-2014 but finally got tired of replacing lamps.
I think I'll pick this up and I'll just make a shelf on the back wall so it can sit flat and I have a dark basement I'll use it in with 5.1 surround
The last projector I owned was a Mitsubishi and back in 2007 that was a quality one but I'm willing to give this budget model a try as I know the tricks to make it look better.
My biggest point was this projector is falsely advertised as super bright. It is not. A $30 11 year old projector outshines this V600. Yes. The new one has features that the old one doesn’t but when the company advertises 5000 LUX they are fooling buyers into thinking they are getting a super bright projector. It has good color in a darker room. Just has too many negatives for me to recommend it at $250. Maybe at $150. You can get a used Epson on eBay with all the features of this one and 3X brighter for under $250. Except it won’t be LED.
@@mitchcox ya I get it but I would never buy another non LED cause I like to use mine nightly to watch not only movies but my DVRs. (I use to have to replace lamps every 6-9 mos with a non LED projector). I'm glad I saw your review cause it shows the negatives but as I know about projectors I know none of them will affect me if I set it up with the cons in mind. Thanks
You May check EBay. There are several V600’s on there, if you check the recent sales. Some went for $150. With very little use. If you watch ebay you could save close to $100.
@@mitchcox I don't buy used products from ebay because you don't know what you are going to get. I'll say it again the cons you listed are not cons for me and $250 is a deal to me. I'm a 2nd shift worker that only watches tv after midnight and I can mount it on a shelf sitting level. This LED lamp should last over 14 years and my last projector I spent $150 per lamp every 6-9mos
Ok. Well. Glad my video helped you see that this product will work for you. It had good color and the built in speaker was plenty loud. I couldn’t find a whole lot of info and demos on it before I bought it so I made this video. It didn’t work for me but I realize my outdoor environment is not ideal. Good luck with it. I hope it works out well for you. Take care.
Hi. I have this projector. During calibration with AVS HD 709 this projector is not showing the flashing bars in the Black-Clipping test pattern no matter how much i adjust the brightness and contrast. I tried to input through both viz Laptop via HDMI and through USB pen drive .
Please help as the shadow details are absolutely nil.
Infocus one of the best brand name projectors less than 10 years ago that cost over $500 "I own one but 2012 model" vs a cheap modern projector makes sense lol you can't really do a good name brand vs generic its like comparing a Mercedes to a Yugo, apples to oranges cheap is cheap personally just save up and buy a projector for over $1500 for a 4k and over $500 for a 1080P its worth it!
Yes. You are further supporting my point of view. You can buy a used older name brand projector and get a better quality projector (brighter, better picture, more features, etc) than wasting your money on these new LED no name projectors. I spent less on a used Epson that I can clearly watch outside during the day. 1080p etc. Not even fair to compare but I paid less for it than this Vankyo. Just trying to let people know. There are better options get more for your money. Don’t settle for this.
I think there's something wrong with your vankyo v600 because mine is definitely brighter than what you're showing. It's definitely not the lumen rating they say it is but it's definitely viewable in a shade outside during daylight.
I contacted Vankyo to see if mine was defective. They offered to send me a free stand IF I leave them a positive review. No offer to replace the projector. They also wouldn’t tell me the lumen rating. I asked several times. They avoided answering me.
I am happy you are happy with yours. It just wasn’t going to work for me. I ended up with a used Epson off eBay and am extremely happy with it.
@@mitchcox how did you contact them?
You had it out for the vankyo before the video even started.
Not true. I bought the Vankyo really hoping to love it. Was fooled by the super bright 5000 LUX and +80% brighter than others Claim. When I got it and noticed that my 11 year old infocus projector was brighter than the “super bright” Vankyo. I was extremely disappointed. My old infocus had better keystone adjustment, better front foot adjustment, brighter bulb , etc. The Vankyo disappointed in all those areas and caused me to make this video so others would know exactly what they are getting and not be fooled by the false claims on their listing.
Thanks for the honest review. so in the 300$ top, whats the best projector out there? i mean with a good balance between contrast ratio / bright, durability and scale?
It really depends on what environment you are using it in. If the room is completely dark and you can mount your projector straight in line with the screen, and you want LED, then the Vankyo may be what you want. If you are wanting to sit it on a table and aim it up on the wall similar to what I was doing on my deck, then you want to go with a name brand projector that has a good Keystone adjustment. The Vankyo does NOT. You won’t be able to get a clear picture out of the Vankyo. It will be in focus in the center and then the edges will be blurry. Enough to bother me. I bought a used epson off eBay for $200 and am thrilled with it. Excellent Keystone adjustment and high brightness. Can watch a movie during the day outside. It’s not LED but I think it will last me longer than the cheap LED projector will.
The best projector to get in my opinion is the Aaxa p7 at $400. Its bright in a dark room or at night outside and has a full 1080p resolution. The speaker is weak so you should just plug in a bluetooth speaker, plug in some headphones, etc. It has 400 lumens when on battery power and 600 lumens when running plugged in. It does get rather loud when turned onto the 600 lumen setting if I remember correctly, but thats perfectly fine if you use noise cancelling headphones or don’t mind the sound of a fan (similar to running a fan on a hot day). I upgraded to the aaxa 4k1 to get a 4k picture. This is a $1,000 projector so it is out of the range of the $300 you have requested.
Mine is going back to amazon tomorrow
You are not the only one saying thia
Thanks. I am glad you appreciate my review.
Ok so I went ahead and got this, and I love it. I also have an audio extractor and hooked up my home theater to it and it booms. I have a total dark room and I just have it on a wall unpainted. I really wanted to have it going legthwise of my media room but widthwise is what i ended up doing. My kids love it and when i can go lengthwise in that room they are gonna go apeshit!
I am glad you like yours and are happy with it. I have had a few LCD projectors in my time and this doesn’t compare to those brightness wise or clarity wise. It just isn’t for me, wasn’t impressed. I am happy to hear that you enjoy yours. Take care.
great review! thanks for the insight!
Thank you for appreciating my video.
Thanks dude you saved me a lot of hassle
You are welcome. I am glad I could help prevent someone from being misled and disappointed by this projector. If it was $150 or less it wouldn’t be bad but they were charging $250 for this thing when I bought it.
hello is there a digital zoom, a reduction of the image or increase
emmanuel rossi emmanuel rossi no digital zoom. You can reduce the image using the remote but can’t zoom passed 100%. I demonstrate it at the 15:40 mark.
I have the v630. I don't mind the brightness as I watch at night in a dark room. However I find the fans very loud. I plan to replace with Noctua fans.
Mine isn’t letting me reduce the screen size.. did you have to do something to get this to work?
You have to use the remote in the menu to reduce the screen size.
Why dont u just mount it on the celling
Pro you can adjust it...i have it and absolutely love it..plus i have a better screen...i do agree.with the edges not being to sharp....but everyone i invite over thinks i payed alot for it lol....$199 amazon well worth it
Thanks for save my money.. i am going to buying this particular model... thanks
Glad I could help! Thanks for letting me know my video was helpful. I appreciate it.
Your projector is supposed to be level with where you want it to project. The middle screw barely had anything to do with it, I believe its to perfect your angle just a bit.
What do you think about this projector
Roll over image to zoom in
Projector, WiMiUS P21 6000 Lumens Video Projector Native 1920×1080 LED Projector Support 4K Zoom 300" Display 100,000H Lamp Compatible with Fire TV Stick Laptop Phone Xbox PS4 Power Point Presentation.
I would stay away. It’s another foreign cheap plastic low lumen LED projector. I can guarantee their lumen count is inflated to sell more units. They list it as 6000 lumens but 650 ANSI lumens. I would say this is comparable to the Vankyo. Maybe 1200 lumens max!! I would pass on any of these no name LED projectors. They are way overpriced for what they offer. These shouldn’t be selling for more than $100-$150. Its just my opinion. I bought a used Epson off eBay that is 10x better for less money.
thanks for the real review I just canceled my order that I just placed on Amazon.. better off just waiting for a price job on black Friday get a better one.. again thanks for the video
Thank you. I am glad my video helped you out. I couldn’t find any honest reviews on this thing and fell for all the fake reviews. This projector may be fine for some in dark rooms. I think most people who buy this have never had a real name brand projector, they don’t know what quality or brightness to expect. They don’t realize how much better it should be for $250. Hopefully this will help them realize that they should expect better and that there are better options available for the money. Thanks again for watching. Take care.
you can get an app for the i phone that measures the lux/lumens and it's pretty accurate but you have to point it at the projector lens, not the projected image.
and yep most projectors at budget prices don't tell the truth about there product specs.
Thanks for this video, very helpful. I’m not sure why the manufacturer doesn’t list lumins but lux very miss leading .
That is why. No one would buy it if it was advertised at 1200-1500 lumens. Because that is not bright. They trick you with the 5000 LUX. Tricked me. That is why I made this video to show people what they were really getting for their money. And to show people that there are better options out there for the money. An 11yr old $30 projector is brighter. I was really disappointed. The only positives to me were the built in speakers sounded great and the 5v USB port was handy. I am glad it helped save you some money. I would suggest you stick with a major brand.
You need to reset your expectations for a $200 projector. The light rating is lux not lumens. This price point of projector is for a dim room or night outside projection.
Originally they advertised it as lumens. 6000 lumens and super bright!! Many sellers on amazon still do this. Don’t be fooled. These are not bright. These are closer to 1200 actual lumens.
Thanks for the clip. I bought one last week and ran into the same issue of Keystone problem; projector must be set high almost 100% perpendicular with the screen. This can be annoying. Projector output does look bright in a completely dark room. On the other hand I found the fan noisy.
I contacted "Vankyo" about the keystone adjustment. They were very responsive but their tech keeps coming up with explanation that made no sense to me. For $250 range, it is a good and reasonable projector but not for me. I'm willing to pay more to buy a more bright projector with functional keystone and less fan noise.
I think they are hoping most of their customers have never had a real name brand projector so they don’t know how good it should be. I agree. This projector looked good in a dark room. The colors were nice and bright. However the negatives far outweighed the positives for me. It wasnt nearly as bright as a $30.00 11 year old projector. This was extremely disappointing and the main reason I sent it back.
Zuzu Pali I went with a used Epson 1980wu. Found it for 250 on eBay. SO MUCH BETTER than the Vankyo. 4400 lumens!! Bright enough that I can watch outside at 3pm in full daylight. Auto & manual keystone adjustment that actually works. 1080p great sound and it doesn’t have to be straight across from the screen. So much happier with it than these cheap LED ones. Sure I may need to buy a bulb in 2 years or so but I am willing to take that risk since this thing is awesome and works great for my outdoor use!!

Alright mate, I believe yours this is a faulty set. Because I just tried switch on mine with my door open, and I connect to my TV HDMI out, into the v600 HDMI, to project my TV images into this projector, but it seem very bright at the TV size of around 80 inches. But nevertheless I admit for china brand, I can say this vankyo, this particular model, it's probably, by far, the best, if you would to compare to the rest of all other china unknown rubbish sets.
Can you review the vivabright f40
Rishanth Kugathas almost all things that I review I actually pay for. I don’t see myself buying another low quality LED projector any time soon. By looking at the amazon listing. It appears they are falsely advertising the lumens again. Saying it is 4200. But one of the answers to the question of how many lumens. Someone answers about 1000. So I think the f40 will probably disappoint in the brightness due to them falsely advertising and inflating their lumen count in order to get sales. I would stay away from it. Unless you are going to be in a completely dark room and can mount the projector perpendicular to the screen. I think it will have the same issues that I had with the Vankyo. I went with a used Epson off eBay for $200. Much happier with it than these off brand LED’s. Good luck.
@@mitchcox Thank you so much, i cam currently looking at the epsom eh-tw5100 and the optoma hd143x any suggestions
Vankyo very much for that review
You are welcome! Hope it helped.
It’s true they are not comparable, but there is a $1200 difference between the two
I bought an Epson 1980 off EBay for $250. And it is 4,400 lumens, 1080p and can definitely be used on my deck during the day. My point being is the Vankyo projector is not super bright as advertised and you can find a used older projector that out performs this new Vankyo for the same money. So if you are going to spend 250 on a projector. Avoid these no name projectors and get something of quality. Even the $50. In focus was better.
Just the type of video I wanted to see. Been trying to find out the cons of this projector but on amazon you will only find reviews that are mostly likely fake and only complimenting it for its sharp image and low noise.
Thank you!! I couldn’t find any true reviews on it either. So I bought it and was highly disappointed. I am glad I save you some money and disappointment. Please share this video to get the word out. I hate to see people being tricked into thinking they are getting something they are not. 5000 LUX is a tricky way of getting around revealing the true lumens of this projector. Making it sound much brighter than it actually is.
Thank you for saving me some money. This thing is loud as Fukc and dim as hell
You are welcome. I am glad you appreciate my video. I still recommend a used name brand over this. It won’t be LED but the performance out of the used name brand blows this thing away. Take care and stay safe.
@@mitchcox i bought a Epson home cinema 1060 for 400 euro, and it is very bright. You can use it with the lights on
Amazon uk is listing it as 5500 lumens, not lux
Oh My. No no no. Not anywhere close. So misleading and falsely advertised. Don’t fall for it. I hope my video helped you decide to keep looking for something better. It may be 1500 lumens and that may be generous.
It's for inside the house not out side dark room!!!!!!!!!
Did you see the 10 yr old projector is brighter? This projector was advertised as bright 6000LUx. They used LUX To trick you. I just showed that it is not as bright as a 2000 lumen 10 yr old projector.
turn off lights it will work duh
With the brightness they falsely advertised. It should have been fine. I was proving a point that it is way under the advertised lumens.
20 minutes of incessant repetition and rambling - could easily be preseted in 3 minutes. To be fair, projectors work best in the dark. Why waste our time? Why not set the thing up at its best and then turn camera on and then briefly telling the effort to so set up- pros & cons .
I was showing it was not as bright as advertised. One with the advertised lumens could be seen in those conditions. This one could not be and was no where near as bright as advertised.
So, you read Lux and thought they meant Lumen???
You do understand that Lux is a measurement for brightness, right?
Also, you do understand that comparing a 2008 Cadillac vs a 2019 Nissan Versa is not a fair fight . . .
You got a bad case of buyer's remorse, dude.
Truth of the matter is the Vankyo V600 is just about the best unit under $250.
But you are correct.
You can't watch it in daylight . . .
No. Their original listing stated 6000 Lumens. Actually. I just checked it now. Under details. Still lists 6000 lumens. So not getting what is advertised is not buyers remorse, it’s false advertising. Brightness aside. The keystone adjustment on this is awful. It is not digital and you end up with blurred corners. Had it been as bright as they still advertise it to be. I would have been happy with it. But advertising it as 6000 and it ends up being more like 1000, no thanks.
@@mitchcox Okay . . .
I just watched your entire vid, again.
Nowhere do I see proof that the Vankyo is not 6000 lumen.
Also, there is no proof for the lumen rating of your comparison projector.
This is just 1 of the reasons why you have so many 'down votes'.
Your other projector uses old-scholl bulbs, and who knows how many times the bulbs have been replaced, as well as whether they replaced it with a higher wattage bulb . . .
Also, these projectors are designed to give the owner a, 'Movie Theater Experience'.
So, how many theaters have you gone to, where the movie projector was on a table on the floor of the theater?
Yes, the projector should be raised to a point, midway to the screen, just like a movie theater.
This is why people buy 'Projector Stands'.
Then the Keystone adjustment you were having such a hard time with, works perfectly, and the entire screen is in focus.
Also, during your vid, you didn't go into the projector menu for adjusting screen-size, sharpness, contrast, etc . . .
And, there is also an adjustment for screen Brightness.
I have used the Vankyo over the weekend, watching 3 movies, a number of TV shows and a concert.
After dialing in all the picture settings, I had none of the issues you experienced.
And that is because you were using the unit, incorrectly.
I am happy you are happy with it. I was hoping to be. I was not using it incorrectly. It did not live up to its advertised features. The main reason I bought it was due to it being advertised as 6000 lumens. It is not anywhere near that. The two other projectors were clearly brighter. I also had the brightness all the way up. Still not as bright as the other two projectors. Had it been even half the lumens they advertised, it would have worked for me. But it’s not. Also the blurred corners with the keystone adjustment has been noticed by many others in the comments and also the amazon reviews. Not just me. My main issue was the brightness. False advertising is the fault of the seller, not the buyer. Again. I am happy you are happy with yours.
And that projector has a lifetime warranty.
Also. I can tell by the pictures in the amazon listing that it is no where near 6K lumens. Also it appears to have the same issues with blurry edges and it needing to be mounted perfectly horizontal with the screen. It’s essentially a Vankyo v600 in a different shell. Most of these no name LEDs are all made by the same company just different names on the shell.
You clearly don't understand projector setup at all 😂😂
Ha ha. Yeah. That’s it. I just understand what a nice projector should be like and this wasn’t it.
Like, you do not have any legit criticism. All of this is born from your own incompetence. Stop making videos..... in fact, stop doing anything requiring any sort of intelligence.
Ha ha. If you have ever used ANY Name Brand projectors you will realize every complaint I have is legit. If not. I see how your knowledge is limited. Doesn’t mean I am wrong. Also. How about helping people with suggestions and trying to be nice to people instead of talking down to them to make yourself feel better about your own incompetencies.
