First, the field of application:
The projector hangs in my garage via ceiling mount on the ceiling. Canvas I have a great 1,20x2,50 Regipsplatte with battens edged (rear, for stabilization) and this brought me unceremoniously with a homemade rack in position. The distance from the projector is about 3,50m. The input signal comes from a cable box or a Sky PS4 via HDMI. The sound output is via a Logitech PC speaker system that I have connected via plug to the projector. My garage is not darkened.
The preparation / orientation of the projector takes some time, although there is a Keystone, but you should test beforehand exactly where one sets up / hang up the projector. I pointed it out on the basis of the canvas.
Let's talk about my now, subjective, impressions about the image quality, the sound and the noise of the projector.
Image (Divided into football, games, movies)
Before I want to go into the various genres Add that you can use the projector in daylight, direct sunlight exposure should be avoided and the best picture results you get in a darkened room.
Football:
Yesterday was well known, the opening match of the Soccer World Cup, the grass is shown in a lush green, the contrast surprised me, ZDF HD image was sharp, in short, my 3 Mitgucker and I loved it and we look forward to a long football evenings.
Games:
The PS4 is also known to represent Full HD, the projector does not. Nevertheless, the picture is enough to gamble with friends on the weekend completely out. Full HD means a surcharge of 400-500 to make a lot of money from an HD image, a Full HD image. For me too.
Movies / Series:
Obviously missing for the Bluray playback Full HD playback. For cinema freaks the projector is therefore less suitable. Nevertheless, Breaking Bad let movies and series, for example. On Prime video look very good.
Sound:
The internal sound of the projector is simply inadequate, too quiet, too tinny to neglect. There are two ways of remedy. Low priced solutions, connect the PC boxes per jack. The more expensive an AVR via HDMI interpose.
Fan noise:
You can hear it in quiet passages, but the sound is never aufdringlich.Hat you connected neat boxes you can hear nothing more.
My Conclusion:
The value for money is very good, who look from time to watch movies, play games, or even now the Wm want to enjoy on the big screen, I can recommend this projector. But why only 4 stars? I'm missing a second HDMI port or an optical input. Perhaps the whining at a high level but 5 stars are perfect for me and I miss perfection these ports.
