I don't know if you found that, due to various subjective and objective reasons, there are many people who like to watch movies no longer go to the cinema, but it has become simpler to watch movies, directly into a home projector, in their own home can actually enjoy a hundred-inch screen. Of course, some people subconsciously feel that the price of easy-to-use smart projection will be very expensive, and even if there is a cheap smart projection, often the configuration will be very low, the resolution is usually 720P or even only 480P, after putting into the hundred inches can imagine a great sense of grain.
But in fact, you may not know, with the development of technology in the entire projection industry, many new domestic projection brands have hit the price of 1080P smart projection to about "thousands of yuan", how about the actual experience of such a "cheap" 1080P HD home projector? So this article, I bring is the 1299 engraved D5 intelligent projection of the use of reviews, for friends who want to spend less money to set up their own 1080P home theater, I hope my review can give you a reference.
appearance
The shape of the engraved D5 is relatively simple, and the overall volume is not large, about 211*182*139mm, so even if you want to carry it with you, you only need a small school bag to fit it. In addition to this rose gold color scheme that I started, it also has a bright moon white option.
The engraved D5 adopts a closed light machine design, and the outside of the project lens is used to resist the sapphire glass, which can not only prevent the lens from falling into gray, but also better protect the lens. In terms of projection parameters, the engraved D5 supports true 1080P physical resolution, 4K video hard decoding, and the projection brightness also reaches 580ANSI lumens.
A large area of air outlets can be seen below the screen.
The top of the projection is designed with three solid buttons and a knob, which can be adjusted by flicking the knob to adjust the focal length of the projected screen.
The back of the fuselage mainly integrates a variety of expansion interfaces, and the lower position of the interface is designed with a two-channel external speaker, and the lower part of the speaker is a heat dissipation air inlet.
The interface mainly includes a power interface, a USB interface, an HDMI interface, and an audio/AV in interface, which can basically meet the expansion needs of family use, and there is no problem with an external laptop, game console or speaker.
In terms of accessories, the engraved D5 mainly comes with a Bluetooth voice remote control, power cord and instruction manual, etc., of which the remote control adopts the current mainstream minimalist style, and people who have used smart TVs or smart boxes can get started quickly.
System & Features
The use of smart projection is actually very simple, plug in the power supply, simply adjust the focal length, and then connect to the Home WiFi can be used directly, there is a small detail here, when you turn on the machine, the front of the engraved D5 can also see the warm atmosphere lights, when watching the movie will feel more warm, of course, if you do not like it can also be turned off with one key.
In terms of system, the engraved D5 is equipped with a TV system based on Android customization, and online video, live TV and music software have been built into the home desktop.
In terms of projection placement, engraving D5 is not too high a requirement, as long as there is a white wall can be used directly, and because it supports the four-corner trapezoid correction function, so even if you put it sideways, you can adjust the normal picture.
In addition, if you have more needs for various software resources, you do not need to download on the computer, you can install it directly through the built-in app store of engraved D5, which I think is still very user-friendly.
Projection effect
Carved D5 is a hardware-level intelligent projection product with 1080P logistics resolution, when I sit on the living room sofa to watch, I personally feel that the clarity is not much different from the traditional LCD TV, but this hundred-inch projection effect is incomparable to the small screen TV.
And it is also worth noting here that this is just the display effect of my direct projection of the white wall, if it can be used with a light-resistant curtain, the projection screen should also have a gain effect.
I personally feel that when you are used to watching 100-inch large-screen movies at home, you basically don't want to go to the cinema anymore, on the one hand, watching movies at home can be more free, on the other hand, watching movies at home does not have to worry about the bad air and noisy environment like the movie theater, so the movie-watching experience at home is naturally better.
In a light-proof environment, do you feel okay with this display?
Moreover, if you have children at home, the use of smart projection to watch cartoons, but also better than the traditional LCD TV, everyone basically knows that the projection itself is to project the picture onto the wall, and then through the diffuse reflection of the way to watch, and LCD TV like self-illumination directly to our eyes, its picture is softer, basically do not have to worry about watching cartoons will affect the child's vision, so, I think the smart projection itself is a healthier family entertainment center than the LCD TV.
Some people here may be worried that the 580ANSI lumens are not enough, in fact, I have used a lot of thousand-dollar intelligent projection before, most of them are only 100-200ANSI, like the engraved D5 can reach the 580ANSI lumens are basically above the price of two thousand yuan.
Through the actual projection test, it was found that when the external light is not strong, the engraved D5 can still be used normally, and even if you want to use the projection normally during the day, it is nothing more than closing the curtains.
How else can you play
Whether you use an Android phone or an Apple phone, you can directly project the picture on the phone to the engraved D5, for example, sometimes when I want to see the photos of children at home, I like to use the 100-inch screen of the engraved D5 to see, the viewing experience is really different from watching on the mobile phone computer, and this way is more suitable for sharing with the family.
In addition to projecting photos, you can also play games through this way of screen projection, after the screen is large enough, the visual experience of the game will be more exciting, shocking, if you are interested, you can also try.
As mentioned earlier, the engraved D5 comes with a voice remote control that supports bluetooth function, where the advantage of bluetooth connection is that the operation is more casual, such as when operating, you do not need to point the remote control at the TV, you can also control various functions. In addition, the remote control also supports voice, when you click the voice button, you can make intelligent interactive control of the voice of the engraved D5, you can play video on demand, you can adjust the volume, you can also ask about the weather, etc., using this way to operate will be very scientific and technological.
The intelligent voice assistant that engraves the D5 also has four different timbres built in, which you can set according to your preferences.
Almost forgot to say that the engraving D5 is a dual-drive design, in simple terms, it not only has the function of intelligent projection, but also in the state of turning off the projection, it can also use the internal two-channel speaker system independently of Bluetooth, when you want to watch movies, it is a projector, when you want to listen to songs, it is a Bluetooth speaker, and a key can achieve switching. I listened carefully, I personally feel that its two-channel sound quality is better than the external playback effect of many LCD TVs, as a Bluetooth speaker, it is also considered to be the best use of it.
brief summary:
Overall, I think the performance configuration of this engraved D5 is better than I thought, although it is only a thousand-yuan intelligent projector that locates the entry, but it has a lot of functions that will be found on the flagship projection, such as 1080P full HD logistics resolution, sapphire glass lens, four-sided trapezoidal correction, AI intelligent voice, and independent Bluetooth function, and then has 580ANSI stream brightness, even if the projection of 100-inch screen is basically enough for the daily use of most families, in addition to watching movies, You can also use it to listen to music, play games or share photos, put it in the living room, it can complete the tasks of the home entertainment center, and if you move to the bedroom, you can also lie down and enjoy the 100-inch screen, I think its portability and playability is still OK.
Of course, if you want to say the disadvantage of being objective, it is still missing the autofocus function, and then there is no interface to connect the three-legged bracket at the bottom, and you need to use the adapter plate to achieve the bracket installation, in addition, in the system UI is also slightly native, I don't know if the future version will be upgraded. Well, the review of this projection is shared here, and we will see you in the next issue.
