【Anchor Technology Experience】In recent years, home projectors have been favored by Bao Dad and Bao Mom. First, the quality of the projector product itself has improved, even during the day, it can project a high-definition and gorgeous picture; second, parents have a stronger awareness of protecting their children's eyes, and the projector of diffuse reflection imaging has naturally become their first choice.
I was also recently choosing a home projector for my baby at home, and I caught a glimpse of the Lenovo smart projector T500 in the vast sea of machines.
It all starts with the face value
Lenovo smart projector T500 changes the traditional projector flat and wide design style, using a unique cube body design, small and exquisite, put nowhere to occupy the place.
The front panel is wrapped in a plain, high-grade fabric that blends well into the environment without the slightest abrupt feel. The wavy texture gives a sparkling feel.
The dark black panel is flanked by projection lenses and focus-specific CMOS high-score lenses.
The other three sides of the fuselage are decorated with vertical strip grilles, and there are two irregularly shaped hollow areas on the left and right sides. The design has two functions, one is to facilitate the entry of cold air and improve heat dissipation efficiency, and the other is to make the melody of two Dolby certified 8W high-fidelity speakers better display.
The rear of the fuselage is mainly an expansion interface, including power supply, RJ45 (100M), HDMI 2.0, 2× USB 2.0 and SPDIF optical audio output interface. We can connect computers, PS, XBOX, Switch game consoles, etc. through the HDMI interface. Its expansion ability is outstanding, and it can be quickly switched between scenes such as work, audio and video, and games.
At the top of the fuselage is the power button and the logo of "lenovo". In addition to the 4 soft glue anti-slip foot pads on the bottom, there is a 1/4 threaded interface, which can be used to connect the bracket, of course, you can also use a tripod. In the case of daily use, if there is no child, you can put it anywhere, if there is a child, I recommend putting it on a high place or using the method of hoisting and throwing to avoid bumping or projecting directly into the child's eyes.
In addition, lenovo smart projector T500 is also equipped with a bluetooth low energy remote control, support voice remote control, search, check information, watch the weather and so on. The shortcut menu key in the upper right corner of the remote control can quickly switch between keystone correction, focus settings, image settings, brightness adjustment, and projection mode at any time.
Be true to quality
In terms of core hardware, the Lenovo smart projector T500 uses the Amlogic T972 core. Quad-core Cortex-A55 architecture with a clock frequency of up to 1.9GHz, which is 63% better than the T962 performance of the previous generation's 1.5GHz clock. It integrates about 1.5 billion transistors, which is about 3 times that of the previous generation. The GPU was upgraded from the Mali 450 to the Mali-G31, supporting the latest OpenGL ES 3.2 and Vulkan 1.1 APIs. Supports 8K (7680×4320) 10-bit HDR video decoding, plus a built-in ninth-generation quality engine. It is matched by 2GB of high-speed memory and 32GB of storage space to ensure that the whole scene does not stutter.
Such a hardware configuration we do not have to worry about the lack of sex, stuttering, picture tearing, sound and picture out of sync and other issues can be ignored.
High-quality core hardware needs to be paired with a good optical machine to show its strong strength.
Lenovo smart projector T500 uses a new generation of 0.33'' DMD digital chip, composed of about 105 reflective micro lenses, compared to the 0.23'' DMD chip can carry a larger amount of light, so that the projected picture is clearer and brighter. With RGB+B four-way high-brightness LED light source, the brightness can reach 1400 ANSI lumens, and the brightness and color can be projected during the day.
Led light source in addition to high brightness in the life of the traditional light source is also longer, can reach more than 20,000 hours, assuming that 6 hours of viewing a day, can be seen for about 10 years.
Lenovo smart projector T500's 0.33'' DMD chip achieves 1080P resolution through jitter technology, and the picture details, color, color depth, chiaroscuro and other aspects are better than the 0.23'' DMD chip. Coupled with lenovo smart projector T500 support HDR 10+ HLG dual decoding, it can dynamically reshape color expression and light and shade levels, so that the light is not exposed, and the dark places are deeper.
Trapezoidal correction is a necessary function of a projector, Lenovo has upgraded this function, through the surrounding gyroscope induction and intelligent perception algorithm, to achieve intelligent trapezoidal correction. Even when it is not projected on the right side (+/-40°), it can be automatically adjusted quickly, and the square is not deformed.
Trapezoidal correction can make the picture not distorted, and the picture needs to be focused when the picture is clear. Lenovo Smart Projector T500 is equipped with a G-Sensor sensor and a dedicated CMOS high-resolution lens combined with Lenovo's deep sense detection algorithm, allowing it to autofocus in the event of boot, position change, etc. The focus time is generally around 3s, and the speed is very fast.
The autofocus system also monitors the picture clarity in real time when playing video content, and if the focus is inaccurate, the focus operation will be automatically carried out, and there is no need for manual operation.
The standard throw ratio of 1.2:1 allows it to project a 76-inch picture at 2 meters and a 113-inch picture at 3 meters, which can be transformed into a private theater in both the living room and the bedroom. Two 8W high-fidelity speakers tuned by Gold Ear acoustic experts support Dolby & DTS professional sound, the sound is thick and natural, and the sense of presence is very strong. For this reason, the Lenovo smart projector T500 also specially set a Bluetooth sound mode.
If the position of the projector installed in the home is too far from the screen, you can choose the screen zoom to adjust the projection size, which can be reduced by up to 50%, and the screen can also be adjusted at will in the 100% projection format. Installed anywhere to get the ideal picture effect.
As a home projector, content is an indispensable part, Lenovo smart projector T500, together with Galaxy Kiwi, BesTV to establish a massive resource library. At the same time, you can also install third-party apps such as iQiyi, Mango TV, Tencent Video and so on.
The teaching and auxiliary content I am most concerned about is also very rich, and resources for all ages are available, and there is no need to look for content everywhere on the Internet.
In addition to these contents, lenovo smart projector T500 also supports U disk and mobile hard disk playback, wireless screen projection, linkage Lenovo personal cloud storage and other functions. Watching videos, listening to music, playing games, or sharing family photos is very simple, completely free from the troubles of network stuttering.
summary
As a home projector, the Design of the Lenovo Smart Projection T500 is definitely what appeals to you, while its hardware configuration and features will make you determined to buy it. With its compact body, 1400 ANSI lumens, 1.2:1 standard throw ratio, and Dolby Professional Sound, you get the best viewing results regardless of room size, day or night.
In addition, it is more recommended to buy a curtain than directly projecting the white wall, in addition to bringing better color performance and higher brightness, with the curtain to do contrast in the trapezoid correction can also minimize the distortion of the picture.
