At 185W, it consumes significantly less power than the competition. You want a relatively low-power projector. This makes it ideal for a boardroom or a conference space but how exactly does it achieve such noise levels. At less than 30dB, this is a relatively quiet UST projector compared to some vacuum cleaners we’ve reviewed in the past. You want a quiet ultra short throw projector. The projector supports both Dolby and DTS audio formats. That said, the sound quality was overall good despite the lack of granularity in terms of channel separation.
There’s a very loud jingle when you switch on the projector but that can - fortunately - be disabled in the settings.ĭespite its price tag, the Polaris 4K has only two 10W drivers, which compares poorly with rivals. At 185W it is significantly lower than the competition despite using three light sources rather than one. Technophiles should note that the projector uses a Ricoh lens, comes with HDR10 and has no built-in 3D capability.įirst the good news, the Bomaker Polaris 4K is quiet, partly because of its relatively low power consumption (and dissipation).
VAVA 4K PROJECTOR REVIEW TV
Note that the Polaris 4K laser TV has the ability to detect an approaching body (animals, children, adults) and automatically shut down the projector to prevent any potential for harm. Bear in mind that just like a color printout is only as good as the paper it is printed on, the picture quality of any projector is highly dependent on the surface on which it is paired with. The manufacturer claims up to 2,500 ANSI lumens of brightness as well as a contrast ratio of 2,000:1, something we haven’t tested, but which, if true, should match Vava’s and the Optoma CinemaX P1 numbers. In theory, that translates to finer details, more realistic colors and deeper black levels. The Polaris 4K claims to use three separate color sources (Class-2 laser beams) that converge to deliver above average coverage of the color gamut, up to 193% of NTSC’s conventional range (in geek speak, Rec/BT.2020 at 107% and DCI.P3 at 151%). That translates into a lower power consumption (185W), which means quieter cooling and fans. With a 30,000 hours lamp life, this “RGB color laser” projector uses MEMC motion compensation technology - which artificially boosts the frame rate - and the same 0.47-inch TI-sourced DMD (digital micro mirror) as most 4K UST projectors but with a laser light source compared to, say VAVA’s ALPD 3.0 source, like most of the competition. Lights were turned off and curtains drawn to keep the viewing experience as stable as possible. We used videos of Clown fishes in Anemone (1080p) from Mark Schellenberg, Water drop in slow motion (HD) from NatureClip and 4K footage of the rocky Hawaiian coast that we ran from a USB drive.
It is uniformly pale green and has rough patches, not ideal for testing. In the absence of a dedicated projector room, we resorted to the smoothest wall we could find in our makeshift “studio”. When it comes to projectors, at least six variables come into play to determine the viewing experience: the content, the person watching the footage, the ambient brightness, the projector proper, its ability to be tweaked out of the box and the screen on which pictures are displayed.
