GP100A

Hey Ozbargainers!

Been on the hunt for a projector with a high amount of lumens which has a native resolution of 1280 x 800, roughly 720p, also has support for 1080p. Found in a couple of threads in Ozbargain that people were quite happy with the Vivibright GP90 and that the new Vivibright GP100 the next step up.

Requested to get a discount code from GearBest:
https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/335952?page=2#comment-5188….
They usually sell it for $289.13

From the reviews i read, the speakers are terrible so will be looking to connect some Logitech speakers.
The fan is reported to go up to 30dB-40dB so definitely audible, something to keep in mind.
Also looking into hooking up a chromecast or purchasing a mi box to make it a 'Smart' Projector.

    Been Using GP90 for a month now, Worth every penny.

    • cameldownunder on 19/10/2017 - 15:21

      I've been using this
      https://www.gearbest.com/projectors/pp_340794.html
      for netflix up to the ceiling projection

      • dcep on 20/10/2017 - 15:54

        you mean literally laying flat on bed watching netflix on the ceiling ?

        • Wickadz on 20/10/2017 - 21:54

          This is true life goals. Pls advise. Will buy your suggestion if you can connect chromecast direct to ceiling.

        • cameldownunder on 23/10/2017 - 10:07

          100% Correct.

        • cameldownunder on 23/10/2017 - 10:09

          @Wickadz: Yes, connected with chromecast. You also need external speakers, the speaker of projector are not that good. We stream from Phone/Tablet to Projector, and Audio goes via bleutooth to speakers, or you can use Jack from Projector.

      I saw it advertised for abit less then $3k on their site. https://www.gearbest.com/projector-accessories/pp_660919.htm…
      From watching a few videos it does look good!

        Yeah, I am super impressed. I am happy to put down 2K (hopefully after a code ;))for something that is apparently cinema level quality.

        • rakkihizoku on 19/10/2017 - 14:34

          To me its a weird concept. It acts more like a sound bar (You put it next to the wall where you want to project it on)

        • geeluv on 19/10/2017 - 14:40

          @rakkihizoku: Yeah, I know what you mean, but I would rather have it in front of me than behind me and hopefully you can just connect it to the surround sound system. So I went to a friends place, who has this boss projector, to watch the cricket and seeing it on the big screen is so dam cool.

        • dcep on 20/10/2017 - 15:57

          you guys willing to spend 2-3k on something with (almost) non-existence warranty ?

        • KentT on 20/10/2017 - 18:00

          @rakkihizoku:

          LG had a similar product a few years back - short throw laser - but gave up on it. Probably because they included a solid fixed frame 100" screen which made it a logistics nightmare. Also it was $9000.

          LG Hecto

      • lplau on 19/10/2017 - 16:17

        Short Throw projectors aren't new, a few of the larger brands do it (albeit very expensive).
        Problem that plagues all short throw protectors is you will get a light reflection on the roof. Not as evident when projecting with light in the room ,but if you try to use it as a cinema projector it may get annoying.

      • shanty on 19/10/2017 - 17:02

        Title says 4K but the Specification say 1080p ???

    OP just be aware that it "supports" 1080p it is not a 1080p projector, description states 1200x800 what is close to 720p. Having said that 720p, aka HD, is good enough for free to air TV and lots of other sources
    Myself having a 1080p FullHD projector and looking close to the LED lamp ones, they are improving fast

      Thanks for pointing this out. For my needs 720P is perfect for what I'm after. Youtube on the big screen, couple of movies here and there.

  • furythree on 19/10/2017 - 14:22

    i have a android pico projector

    its amazing what they can cram into something so small, but realistically youre looking at a clear 30-40" image sitting average couch to tv distance away, forget about sharp text tho since its only 480p

    good enough for cartoons for the kids. but only really works well in the dark

    definitely would pay the same money for the GP100 to sacrifice portability

    but with a pico one at least you can take it with you if you travel alot and it doubles as a powerbank

    • bchliu on 19/10/2017 - 16:29

      This is not really a Pico projector. If it does what it claims to do (3200 Lumens) then its pretty damn good. Not to mention the native 1280x800 res is very usable even for word processing on (arguably they still sell low end PCs with resolutions similar than this (1344 x 768 - 16:9 instead of 16:10).

      • furythree on 20/10/2017 - 00:21

        re read what i said. im saying this is a different product to what i have for comparison purposes and that one should buy this one if they dont care about portability cause the specs are better

  • tin tin on 19/10/2017 - 15:09

      If you can find one you're after, i directly messaged GearBest on Ozbargain and also wrote a comment on this thread https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/335952.

      A couple of bottles of Liquid paper will fix that..

    VIVIBRIGHT GP100 suitable for 97 percent of middle-income families.

    Aww, is there a projector for the remaining 3% of middle-income families?

  • bargaino on 19/10/2017 - 17:07

    Is this a portable occasional projector, or is it good enough for people have it in the home as an alternative to an LCD TV?

    (with the standard projector caveat of needing a darkened room). I'm OK with 720p, but would not want to see a lot of projection artefacts.

    • rakkihizoku on 19/10/2017 - 17:11

      Definitely not portable. I intend to use it as an alternative to an T.V
      With 3200 it should be okay to use it in a semi lit room as well.
      Here are some sample shots: https://www.amazon.com/VIVIBRIGHT-Projector-Efficiency-Resol…

      • bargaino on 19/10/2017 - 17:13

        With 3200 it should be okay to use it in a semi lit room as well.

        It has a ton of lumens, but you still need a darkened room, or the blacks get all washed out. The same as in a regular cinema when the credits roll and the lights come on. Would not want to watch a movie like that.

        • k0ka2 on 19/10/2017 - 21:34

          From the specificationthe ANSI lumens for this model is only 280. Can any one confirm?

        • bargaino on 19/10/2017 - 22:23

          @k0ka2:
          Oh dear. Must be a 3200 (chinese) lumen lamp inside then. Avoid.

        • k0ka2 on 19/10/2017 - 22:47

          @manic: Did a bit of googling around. Lumens is ok for torch brightness but for projectors the accepted measurement unit is ANSI lumens.

  • aibargain on 19/10/2017 - 18:00

    Good price - thanks OP.

    Anyone know of a good portable projector (pico/mini etc) with decent output for on the road presentations?

    • siip on 19/10/2017 - 18:32

      This looks quite good (e.g. compact, 1500 lumen, speaker, battery power, Bluetooth, remote control with air mouse, Android 6). It was around AUD400 plus few weeks ago. Been tried to ask this price but no response. Maybe they will consider if more people query about it?

      • aibargain on 19/10/2017 - 20:40

        At 2.2kg and 28.00 x 22.00 x 10.00 cm
        It’s not very portable.

          Silly me, forgot to put the link of the projector that I mentioned:
          https://m.banggood.com/AODIN-M18-Portable-Projector-3000Lume…
          It's 17.2x8x4cm

        • aibargain on 19/10/2017 - 21:51

          @siip:
          Hey that's great. Definitely ticking all the boxes. Thanks!!
          Only 743g, 1500 lumens and auto keystone. Very temping…

        • eug on 19/10/2017 - 22:01

          @OzBargin: It's 220 lumens according to the specs table under the description.
          I doubt any LED projector at that price range would be more than a few hundred lumens.

    I'm a school teacher and couldn't get a projector for my room (as the whole system is corrupt and u have to buy from a couple of suppliers who charge DECD whatever they want)..Anyway, bit the bullet and bought my own led short throw android based projecter via eBay for $250. Used it for 3 years, has been great. The only downside is many of the Menus are Chinese..Kids get a Chinese lesson thrown in for free.

    So will this android version come with play store so I can install SPMC/Netflix easy?

    • rakkihizoku on 19/10/2017 - 21:33

      Yep

    • bargaino on 19/10/2017 - 23:32

      Probably only 480p from Netflix. Better to get the Mi Box or similar.

  • yws on 19/10/2017 - 23:41

    I ordered mine early September, basic version was US $151, they had some issues getting stock and it took 5 weeks to arrive. Pretty decent unit, fan doesn't bother me that much, quality is good enough for me. The speakers are not good enough for a proper movie experience so definitely hook it up to something external. I've ordered a hdmi audio extractor and will hook it up to my home theater via optical. I also have a mi box attached to it.

    • Seymore on 20/10/2017 - 12:42

      If I have a mibox, it there any reason to get the Android version?
      It's working out at the same price at the moment, but I might contact the seller for a deal on the non-Android version.

      • yws on 21/10/2017 - 00:09
        +1

        I didn't think there was enough of a reason to get the android version as I'm very happy with the mi box that already provides me with everything I need.
        I've got a hdmi splitter so I have the mi box hooked up to both my tv and the projector. Saves me from having to switch hdmi cables.
        Plus it gives me an excuse to buy another tv box at some point in the future when they are upgraded even more :-)

    How does this compare to the GP90 (which reviews well)

    • johnyBgood on 20/10/2017 - 22:27

      One of the youtube reviews says forget about GP90 and get this instead.

      • bdl on 20/10/2017 - 23:19

        They look nearly the same except for the colour of the plastic front?

        • johnyBgood on 21/10/2017 - 09:23

          There are definitely improvements made but not sure about the details, just saw from the reviews that it's a lot better than the GP90.
