      The bulb is supposedly 9000 lumen, which may be only a modest exaggeration for a 75W power consumption.

      Is 200 the ANSI lumens? I would have expected more like 500, which is OK.

      I bought one off the last deal. It is surprisingly good given the price. The audio is shit but you can use a bluetooth speaker. It has limited keystone correction (and only vertical) so you have to place the projector well. The weirdest thing is that the lens came extremely dirty and has been really hard to clean (alcohol wipes etc…) Obviously not a particularly clean factory. But I don't regret the purchase at all. Looks good on a wall. Will get around to putting up a screen at some point.

      • v00d00 AU on 13/06/2023 - 21:59

        I had the same issue. I noticed on dark screens some fluff coming up white, and when I looked inside I could see what appeared to be some dust particles and almost a fingerprint smear.

        The pictures been fine besides noticeable on really dark screens, but I've not been game enough to dig into the new projector to clean the lenses as it's inside where it's dirty.

        Did you take out and clean the inside lenses?

        • lbreav on 14/06/2023 - 08:18
          +1

          I haven't taken it apart at all. It had some kind of sticky gel on the front of the lens in which dust was getting caught. Easy enough to clean this off the center, but there is a lot if it along the edge, and its hard to clean this without spreading it into the middle. Definitely the included microfibre was not up to the job.

        • lbreav on 14/06/2023 - 08:13

          I can't see why not. But the vent is at the back, so you'd have to find a way of propping it up and stopping it overheating.

      • bleeder on 14/06/2023 - 13:59

        • lbreav on 14/06/2023 - 14:40

      I have this projector. I paid ~ $86 USD.

      The projector picture itself is great for the price so long as you have a dark-ish room. I'm projecting just on a white painted wall, and my image would have close to a 2m diagonal. It is very good for netflix/youtube type content. I have an Apple TV connected to it, and have also used a cheap amazon firestick with it. Casting from phone to ATV and out on the projector is great.

      I would not recommend the projector though for use-cases where you need super sharp detail - such that, don't try and use it is as some giant PC monitor.

      My only gripe, and mentioned here https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/769968, is that I can hear a high pitch buzzing noise from the rear of the projector when it is in standby. Such that, when powered from the wall, but not actually projecting. It is quite noticeable in a silent room from a metre or so away. Others don't appear to have experienced this, so maybe I got unlucky.

      I've submitted a video on the noise with banggood, and the seller has offered me $25 USD credit . I would prefer to get to the bottom of where the noise is coming from.
      It could be transformer, or LED.

      All in all - it is great for what it is - but who knows what type of longevity we will get, and how long the LED will last, and whether the LED will lose much in the way of lumens.

        I recomend buying a "smart" plug than, will help solve this, just turn it off via the plug everytime remotely via a google home/app

        • mshanann on 13/06/2023 - 22:51

        How loud are the fans when it's running? I got a Blitzwolf VP6 and the fans were distractingly noisy. I even went to the trouble of replacing one of the internal fans with a nicer computer fan which helped a lot, but not quite enough for my liking.

          Do you have the fan model you used?. I have the VP6 "hairdryer" too

            +1

            @Alpine58: I installed a be quiet! Pure wings 2 90mm Fan as the outlet fan. However, there was some complication - I can't remember what exactly - I suspect the voltage of the fans were different so I may have had to install a step down converter in between. But again it was a few years ago and I can't remember for sure. I just remember something about the install was a PITA.

            There's an inlet blower fan as well, but I didn't change that because I couldn't find one from a reputable brand. Although now Amazon stocks some with some good reviews. It's something like this: https://www.amazon.com.au/UTUO-Brushless-Bearing-Centrifugal…

          Yeah it is definitely loud and very noticeable when it powers on - though you don't generally notice it once audio is coming out of the speaker.
          Probably just as loud as your VP6 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=itbMP4-mfrU

    Are these suitable to be ceiling mounted? I'm thinking of mounting it on a garage ceiling and projecting onto a large white wall.

    • v00d00 AU on 13/06/2023 - 22:00

      The image can be flipped for ceiling mounted. Just beware of the limited Keystone and it can only scale down the image, so needs to be placed appropriately

    • GandalfTheCheap on 14/06/2023 - 00:58
      +3

      Not really worth mounting a cheap toy like this.

      These are amazing for the price, but if your going to go to the trouble/expense of installing it, just invest in an $800 BenQ or Epson thats good enough to watch regularly and not just a fun gimmick that won't last long.

      It's a much bigger difference in quality than, say, cheap LED TV vs top end OLED TV.

      • grumpybum on 14/06/2023 - 08:38
        +3

        I mounted mine and I'm very happy with it. One day I'll replace it with something better and the mount will be reused. At least this meant I didn't need to spend more on a better projector for now.

        Agree with this.

        You are far better off picking up a cheapie from FB marketplace. People offload projectors all the time now, due to the cheapness of LCD panels.

        I picked up an Acer 1080p projector off marketplace for $40 a few weeks back, and another an Epson UST (SD) for $50.

        Lamps for popular projector manufacturers can usually be found for a fraction of genuine, from AliExpress.

  • QuickToThePointless on 13/06/2023 - 23:02

    i have been using an old no name 720p lamp (not LED) projector for near 10 years, got off gumtree for $20.

    has served well for 100s, probably 1000's, of hours of outdoor movies/sports events etc

    it now has a few dead pixels and over the past weeks or two have been thinking about replacing with a ~$1K Epson EH-TW5600 / BenQ TH685P or similar (i dont know a lot about projectors at all TBH, and only spent 1-2 hours googling)

    only really care about 1080p at this point in time as i got a bunch of favourites on bluray and TB of 1080 content on plex server.

    i dont know much about these cheap LED units… how much worse are they compared to lower tier Epson / Benq etc?

    • mshanann on 13/06/2023 - 23:52
      +5

      I'd suggest looking up reviews from the model or two before the BW-V5 and see if anyone has posted follow-up comments to state how it has faired after a year or two.

      This BW-V5 is cheaper than a bulb from your old school projectors, and probably uses a lot less electricity as well.

      In my case, watching streamed movies and videos on this projector from about 4m or so back projected to a 2m diagonal, I'm not in the slightest bit thinking about the picture quality whilst the media plays; the picture is that good (and maybe my eyesight is average). I'm sure a videophile though could probably find a myriad of visual faults and imperfections compared to some $2000 laser setup. Coming from a 50' plasma though, this little projector is great.

        thanks for taking the time to comment mate…thats a pretty good endorsement.

        it came up under $130 for me so bought it to test it out and see for myself.

        as an aside, what do you mean by "back projected"?

        • mshanann on 14/06/2023 - 00:34

          missing comma -

            @mshanann: haha , makes perfect sense

            thought perhaps you knocked a hole in the wall to the next room so you could rear project your $100 device

      They are amazing for the price, but no, still toys, not in the same ballpark as low end real projectors like Epson or BenQ.

      Difference is night and day.

      • QuickToThePointless on 14/06/2023 - 01:19

        yep understand you get what you pay for…lacking features contrast brightness etc.

        but how close do you reckon they compare though for use in fully dark room after being calibrated?

        i mean they are native 1080p and appear to have decent smoothness/ refresh rate 60hz ?

        ignor minor things like corner roundness, washed out a bit at edges etc - ie if you are just being critical of the main field of vision in any given film, not the peripheral sort of thing

        • ItsMeAgro on 14/06/2023 - 10:45
          +1

          Nah, fully dark room is just what you need to even see the picture. It won't bring this anywhere near what a second-hand brand-name projector that costs the same can do.

          There's more to image quality than resolution. Colour depth/range is just as important. Even the cheapest junk TV or laptop screen won't prepare you for how poor the image is on one of these.

          People are happy because it's only $140 brand new, not because it comes close to competing with a real projector (which costs closer to a grand brand new).

          If you don't mind it breaking in less than a year or two, and just want to try it for some fun, it's a good option.

          If you've always wanted a cinematic experience at home, don't waste money on this toy, do your homework and get a real one. Second hand is often great value (you can get 3rd party replacement lamp bulbs for less than $50, makes most projectors good as new).

          • QuickToThePointless on 14/06/2023 - 12:12

            @ItsMeAgro: thanks for comments…curious if you had a look at the Jayce Ooi review OP linked?

            maybe hes a paid shill but he does illustrate a good argument for this particular model…

  • virhlpool on 13/06/2023 - 23:27

    • mshanann on 14/06/2023 - 00:03

      It is only good for a dark room. It won't be good during the day in any type of lit room. The type of device you setup in a budget man cave - or take with you on holidays to get the kids to leave you alone.

    • GandalfTheCheap on 14/06/2023 - 00:52

      A real projector does beat a TV. It's not as bright or real-feeling as an OLED (that costs triple the price), but the size will be more important in some cases.

      This is not a real projector. This is a cheap toy, impressive for the price, but not something you'd end up watching instead of a TV.

      You really have to find a review from an actual projector expert for each model you're considering.

      Some are good enough to watch occasionally, like this one, but most in this price range are scam products with outright lies in the specs (e.g. it says 4k and 9000 lumens, but it's 540p and 200 lumens) and image quality MUCH worse than a budget Android phone screen, so loud you can't hear the movie, stuck pixels, etc.

      Is that dust on or behind the lens?

    Worked well for a day, then the whites started to blur towards the center of the frame. Also have some of the white dots when the screen is dark. Would be a good projector otherwise :(

    I have the same white dots when screen is dark issue. Will probably just get a partial refund if they offer it rather than sending it back. Seems like a common issue.

      They just sent me a video showing how to clean the dust out. No offer of partial refund. Hope you have better luck.

        @FlowerJam - Can you post the link? Did it work?
