THANK YOU so much for including input lag for video games. I'm a gamer who prefers to play on projectors and I greatly appreciate knowing whether or not a particular projector will meet my needs. Again, thank you for including it in your review.
@@la-ia1404 There was a customer on the Amazon review section that said Vava reached out to him to remove his negative feedback and would compensate him. If you look at the review "The TRUTH about VAVA’s projector + Fake discounts + Price from $2499 to $2799..." he goes into great detail about it.. not a pleasant read.
Our first projector goes all the way back to the early 80s, an Advent, I think the model was 701. I've heard that statement/question you used at the beginning about walking in-between the projector and the screen causing a shadow for many, many years. Well, here's the answer - what happens when someone walks between you and a regular TV? Either way, you can't see the image, whether it's between the projector and the screen or you and the screen of a regular TV, the outcome is the same. :)
Can you review the LG Hu85la, its twice the price of the Vava but some say the native contrast is the same. Other claim vava cheats and done not turn off dynamic dimming all the way to increase native contrast results. Some say the LG is brighter others say the Vava. Im sure many would really appreciate a review or a side by side test. Great review on the Vava!
Will be ordering right now. I got a kick out of your dry sense of humor. "Not everybody has a pair of white gloves like Michael Jackson"...delivered with a perfect straight face!
The calibration settings will be different for everyone, as it varies by how much ambient light is in the room, how far your projector is from the wall/screen, etc. Best of luck!
I like your great reviews and sense of Humor! Nice Job. Question for you. I purchased the VAVA just recently. I'm not impressed with the Brightness at all. I should be receiving the Elite StarBright CLR screen today or tomorrow. I'm hoping this makes a significant over the basic Silver ALR screen that I'm currently using. I also purchased an Epson EH LS500 from the UK. Supposed to be here by the 24th. Have you seen the Epson in person yet? Looks pretty amazing on the few TH-cam reviews I have seen.
A review of the screen and any info on where you can buy them from when living in the uk would be much appreciated . Love your channel and watch it often .
The Chiq B5u 4k UST laser projector is whisper quiet, came with English menus and I am about to finish the last boss in God of War on "give me a challenge" mode. It's a dream come true... laser UST with low input lag.
I wanted to get your opinion about which projector i should get. I’ve been doing a lot of research I narrowed it down to two projectors in my price range. I am torn picking between The XGIMI Aurora 4K Ultra Short laser projector, The VAVA 4K Ultra Short Throw Laser TV or The Hisense 100 L5F laser TV. I would like to get your Professional expertise on Which projector I should lean more towards
So, lifespan of this projector would be a function of chip or laser failure rather than any lamp failure common in most projectors? Any ideas on longevity at this point, or too soon?
25k hours to half brightness for the laser assembly. Dlp chip is supposed to not fail, but they did in Samsung and Mitsubishi sets .I have this projector in black and a Mitsubishi wd-82838, which the chip went bad and Mitsu replaced for free after I had had it for 5 years. Ti had a huge batch of defective chips.
Which ust laser projector would you recommend to buy. The vava, the chiq A5u or the xgimi lune 4k pro? Also. Would you do a video comparing all those projectors? It would be great.
Thank u Vincent for review 👍😃 if possible review LG hu85l the pricy 4k laser projector and also LG hu70la the more affordable LED 4k projector.. Thank u.. Have a great day 🎉👍
I'm stunned that a projector can create the kind of grays and blacks we see at 4:04 in the video. I mean, I get that it's in a totally dark room. But this is beyond what I thought a projector could do. I know the ALR screen is mainly a benefit when there's ambient light in the room, but is it also helping to achieve this degree of contrast? Or can other screens perform just as well in a dark room? I'm tempted to get an acoustically transparent screen, so I can put three big speakers behind it. But would I lose a lot of this contrast I like so much in this video?
Wow I didn't know the judder in panning shots was from sync issues. I always thought it was from low FPS. Good to know. I'm in the US though, and always watch everything on my PC (including TV shows and movies) on a 60hz 4k panel. I might having something else.
Hello Vincent, I'm a fan of your work keep it up! I've been in the market for an Ultra Short Throw Laser 4K projector - almost exclusively for the use of gaming. I'd love to see specs that are relevant to gamers, specifically input lag time / response time - even if such specs are as ugly as I suspect lol Thank you!
Thanks for a detailed and thorough review. Much appreciated. I do have two questions, though. Can this projector do 3D with active glasses? And 2, we have a gently curved screen. Will this projector have trouble with that...keeping focus across the entire screen? Optically, standard projectors have no problems with curved screens give that the most accurate focus is obtained when the lens is projecting to a surface where that surface is equidistant to all points of the image. That is always a curve. If you took a string and anchored it to the lens and then walked to the center of the screen, then walked to either side, the string would be to short to reach either end. If you scribed a the movement a line that traced the string's end points from the center to each end of the screen, it would form and arc, not a straight line. Focus would be perfect at all points across that arc. The reason an image on a flat screen stays in focus across that flat surface the focus on a flat screen is increasingly incorrect as the image gets farther from the center of the screen. I am not sure how this translates with a system like this. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Just a quick question about throw distance and room setup. Looking to get the VAVA projector along with a Vividstorm motorised floor rising screen. If my calculations are correct, to house this setup I would need an enormous entertainment unit that is 70 cm deep (this seems impractically enormous as it would take up half the living room!) Have I stuffed something up? My thinking was that the screen unit is 16cm deep, to achieve a 100inch screen size the VAVA has to sit 18cm away, then the VAVA unit itself is 36cm deep. 16+18+36 = 70cm. Is this right?
Nice review. But im interested to get the Optoma UHZ65UST which is the Eu version of the Optoma P1. Will you do a review of the P1? I reckon you are situated in the US? :) It would be amazing if you did. Thx for the quality and reviews of your videos.

The review should have had more examples of the image in a completely dark room. Sorry Vincent you dropped the ball (or missed the kick) on this one. Hopefully you will give us dark scene images when you review the Vividstorm ALR screen matched with the VAVA.
This looks great, I'm in Australia, and it doesn't ship here. Is there a way to order this, so you still get the credit but from somewhere that ships to Australia?
We’ll all appreciate if you can be specific where the product is available. I’m from UK and the product link you attached doesn’t ship here. Why is that?
I saw you adjusting the HDR settings to compensate for the crushed blacks. Since that's kind of why Dolby Vision and HDR10+ use dynamic metadata, do you have any idea why none of the projector manufacturers are implementing those standards and seem to stick with HDR10 and at most use custom auto HDR adjustments (which are non-standard and thus have non-reproducable results)?
He did not adjust the HDR settings as you cannot actually do that. He set the RGB to Custom to calibrate the colors. This is called ISF calibration. HDR and Dolby Vision use tone map values from the content against the tone maps in the unit.
Quick question: I noticed in another review of this projector that you could manually set the resolution/refresh rate for specific hdmi connectors (and you could set 24hz/50hz along with resolution). Does manually setting the resolution and refresh rate fix jutter in 24/50hz content? While it would be annoying to have to change it for every movie you are watching - its better than not having the option/auto toggle at all.
Hello.. Fan of your review.. very credible. Could you please review the new Xiaomi Mo Projector? Vouge Edition and the other New Mi Projector not the UST.. thank you!
