How is the brightness of this one? Anyone has got this?
But on the link 720p, in subject is 1080p
Yikes, 160 is NOT a lot of lumens.
This thing would only be good in the darkest rooms.
It's $70, that's a third of the price of the bulb in my home theatre projector.
I wouldn't expect too much out of it lol…
Trying to find the inputs haha
Unfortunately can't find a product page or more specs on the projector.
Turn on the light…
Ran out of paper bags
Not much detail about this. Just need to can you plug in via laptop and watch netflix etc
No hdmi looks like
Source? I have one sitting in cart but if no HDMI that’s a deal breaker. Even for $69.05
No source sorry, but they used to have info which said it has AV and USB - not sure why that was removed from the description (I was looking at it yesturday when it was 99 bucks)
Edit: To the person who downvoted, it has HDMI, you should get it :)
Surely it has HDMI. Surely…
My name is not Shirley…
This joke doesn't work when it's written
Upvotes say otherwise
Thanks OP ! Got one in time …Gonski now…..
was just about to comment this haha. if 720p has hdmi, 1080p surely would have it too
Aus post is selling the 720p for $30 more so not sure about that.
well the 720p rrp is lower…
so can anyone confirm if this has hdmi?
Bit the bullet. Saw the word gonski and had it my cart.
Same!
Thanks OP. Decided to get one with the hope it has HDMI as the 720p version seems to.
Also how bright is it - if it's so pathetic you need a perfectly darkened room going to be pretty useless.
Can you point to any devices that has less pathetic brightness than you described in this price range?
Buy a nitecore and shine it though a stencil.
*not Netflix compatible.
What's the refresh rate on that?
@justtoreply: It's actually going to be pretty poor - wave your hand in front of your nitecore or any other LED torch in dark and see "frames" your eyes catch.
Probably none, which is why I think these low-end projectors are useless in general.
Can you point to any devices that has less pathetic brightness than you described in this price range?
How about no projector at all for $0
Every projector needs a very dark room, otherwise the darkest shade the projector can show will be washed out by ambient light in the room.
I've got a 5000 lumens projector in our garage, and it's perfectly operable during the day, despite the frosted windows above the garage door. I mean, it's certainly no replacement for being in a completely dark room, but it's still very good.
All gone now.
Would these be in store too?
Possibly. After the Mistral air fryer was removed from the web store, I was able to locate it at two separate corporate (not LPOs) post offices.
Got one.. lets see what its got !
Got one with PayPal. Will return it if its only 720p.
It says 1080p on the product. I'd be more worried about brightness and inputs. But I got one as well, fingers crossed. Can't go wrong for $69
Says there's no refund associated with this order.
I saw this at my local Auspost for $50. Thought it was too cheap to bother with?
Are you sure it was not the 720p?
I can't remember now. They had 50% off all their clearance stuff
You mean we could have saved $19.05? Now that’s a bargain.
Has anyone been able to find any more specifications for this projector? I can't find any more information on google.
Check the pinned comment. Appears to be the same model.
This was obviously just another rebranded generic piece of crap quality projector from China. You find that sort on ebay all the time for cheap. Video projection quality will be very poor.
best seller on Amazon with over 4 star reviews from over 1000 people
LOL imagine believing Amazon reviews are legit
pictures don’t lie, plenty of photo and video reviews. looks good
plus doubt there would be 1000 paid reviews
@picklewizard: They have to give the item away for refund or partial refund to receive reviews. Source: I have been paid to review several items.
What's your point?
:)
I'm surprised this appears to be native 1080p.
Wouldnt mind another one of these 40" Soniq TVs
That's just an unboxing video.
220 ansi lumens seems to be low compared to the vp06, anyone know how weak this will be?
My VP6 just arrived today and at 500 ANSI lumens, I feel like it is just bright enough to be enjoyable and worth the trade-off for having a massive screen. Any dimmer and I would prefer to use my monitor.
For $80 sure but I wouldn't expect vivid image quality at all. That said, whilst 220 Lumens is less than half the VP6's rated brightness, humans perceive light logarithmically, so it might not be as bad as it sounds.
Thanks, are you using in the day? bright room?
Regret holding off on the vp6 deal.
@Azif: I'm using it in a room with blinds closed, projecting an approx 120inch screen.
With the blinds open or lights on, you can still read the screen but the image isn't as nice as a monitor given that it gets washed out
You're mileage may vary if you are projecting over shorter distances, and I suspect, maybe of you're doing smaller screen sizes then 220 lumens might be OK
Also fwiw, I also missed out on the VP6 deal, I ended up shipping it from China using the app and the code in this thread https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/596917
It was a bit more expensive than the AU stock deal but not terribly so, and arrived after 11 days.
Don't forget to auto translate CC to English. As the audio is in German.
I think this is actually the model after the one in the OP but similar enough to get an idea of what they're like.
I was waiting for x9000H to drop in price. Then CES came and I started waiting for X9000J. Now I have bought this. No idea why. :-/
Will this support a 3d signal? I am after a 3d projector… if not any recs?
I have a benq w1090 for the last few years. I can’t recommend that enough. Amazing for 3D. But, the price was $900. I have had an optoma UHD51 as well. Magnificient. Price was around $3000. Sold it for $1600 after 2 years.
Thanks, do you know how the 3d works? is it active with glasses, or passive with glasses and interpolated 4k, or interpolated 1080? (the latter meaning less than FHD so inferior to a FHD tv with active)
Have tried two post offices locally and they will not honour the online price, still $179 in store… spoke to auspost online sales and they cannot explain the difference as they said it should be the same with all corporate owned stores.
Me too. I went to 3 different corporate owned Australia Post post offices that had it in stock and all wouldn't sell to me for the online price.
I called customer service who mentioned it sounded strange and called up one of the stores while I was on hold. After the call hold I was told that once an item is OOS on the website, the stores no longer have to honor the online price. Had it been in stock online when purchasing it, it may have been a different story.
I personally don't buy that excuse, and will put in a complaint about it. If they have an instock item in store then the price should be the same as what it says online, regardless if it's instock online or not as it's pretty much a bait and switch otherwise.
Well they "fixed" the inconsistency, online price is also $179 now :(
The boxes in store had stickers going from $200, to $179 and looked like they had been on the box a long time.
They weren't moving inventory at $179.
Local store has one they won't match online price same as tv
Same story with me. Even told the price is different as it's a different model. It scanned at $179. drove around to another place and didn't have it in stock.
Just on this point, I suspect the difference is between licensed post office stores vs corporate owned stores. In my opinion, it shouldn't be different as it's all falling under the Aus Post Store brand, but that's what I have found in my search of clearance products.
Back in stock!
gogogogogogo
and gone…
Are you serious? I signed up for stock alerts AND was on the phone with customer support explaining the situation at that time, and customer service said they would let me know if it came in stock literally as you wrote it was back in stock.
Yeah, no email alert for me either. I don't trust them. I setup Page Monitors with alerts.
Wow, I got super lucky.. Got it at $69 and shortly after it sold out. Now it's up to $179 with no stock.
Guessing a customer cancelled an order of multiple units.. I only bought one and it was still available after purchase for about 2-3 when I posted here.
Thanks OP
So as I'm on the phone to customer support trying to get it for 69, after going to multiple stores, you got one for that price.
2 customer service people before you purchased told me they would specifically let me know when it came back in stock for that price and took all my details down for it.
I'm upset with AusPost for screwing me around.
It's just a elcheapo projector bruh. Move on
Entitled much? You expect them to get an instant notification, drop everything and call you?
It was live for 5 mins Max.
You're not the most important person alive, dude.
@illz: I was talking with the Online Store customer service at the time. Maybe they could have just said, hey look we put have some more stock. That's all. They took my details down for the purpose of letting me know if stock came back when I was in the store when I wrote it hours ago.
Sorry that I took customer service people on their word. I guess for you that makes a person entitled.
If the shoe was on the other foot, I wonder if you would consider yourself 'entitled'.
@studentl0an: I was on the phone earlier with an agent trying to get one locally.
If I missed out that's fine, that's the game. I'm not owed anything.
Like I said, that would have been a cancellation from a broden.
Thats why it jumped in price after it sold out, system generated..
The agent wouldn't have been pressing F5 constantly whilst talking to you.
Way she goes man..
@illz: Yeah exactly man, so no need to call me entitled for trying and being upset that I was screwed over by taking customer service reps on their word.
@studentl0an: You weren't screwed over dude. It's the game. You aren't owed anything.
Missing the point.
@illz: When customer service 2 hours ago took down all my details to let me know specifically if it came back in stock (from a person, not from an automated alert), yet it came back in stock without being told so - that is being screwed over.
I was told 2 hours ago that if it came back in stock I was going to be informed personally by that same rep, and they took all my details for it.
Looks like it is back in stock. And $69.05 might be a price error?
Nah just excess stock clearance. Confirmed with Auspost employee..
Shows $180 now :(
Yay $2.59 tracked with shop back. Retirement here I come.
Looks identical to this - if so, it has 2 HDMI and 1 VGA input
Looks awesome!
For $69..better than awesome! But don't expect too much - I have a similar one and the picture quality and brightness are underwhelming. I wouldn't put too much stock in those reviews either.
