With the continuous progress of display technology, home TVs and computer monitors have stepped into the 4K era. What's the best home theater projector? Home projectors as large-screen display devices are better able to fully demonstrate the advantages of 4K. In recent years, projectors have made great strides in picture quality, sound quality, and intelligent experience, and many expect it to make a breakthrough in the 4K as well. Recently, the projection industry leader Dangbei released a new 4K projection one by one Dangbei laser projection X3 Pro, known as the "ceiling of projection within 10,000 yuan".
This new product is the upgrade of the 2021 model Dangbei X3, on the basis of retaining the advantages of the previous work, and further heavy upgrades to the software and hardware configuration, aimed at creating the highest level of projectors in the industry. Today, we will take a look at the Dangbei laser projection X3 Pro through experience testing to see what upgrades have been made.
The picture quality is upgraded again, and 4K reshapes the original film-level color
Projector experience naturally sees the brightness first. Familiar with the Dangbei X3 laser projection friends should know that the Dangbei X3 is a product of industry significance, it will projector into a new "laser era". It is with ALPD laser technology, Dangbei X3 brightness of up to 3200ANSI lumens that has become one of the few home projection world "daytime can also use the projector", favored by users.
This time, Dangbei X3 Pro continues the high brightness of its predecessor, also using a high-end cinema-grade laser light source, the brightness reached a staggering 3200 ANSI lumens, horizontal comparison of other explosive projectors on the market, the brightness is definitely properly standing in the C position. The following is about 12 noon, pull up the curtains and open the curtains effect picture comparison, the strength of the actual picture to speak!
If the brightness is the advantage brought by the laser source, then the overall picture quality effect and color performance are more dependent on the performance configuration and color tuning technology of the product. How to make the projector brighter? As an upgrade of the previous generation flagship, Dangbei Laser Projection X3 Pro is equipped with TI's latest generation ALL IN ONE 4K platform DLPC6540, which integrates FPGA and keystone correction chips to bring 4K UHD resolution with 8.3 million pixels and 4 times the clarity of 1080P.
The Dangbei X3 Pro's ultra-high-definition picture quality is also made possible by its MT9669 flagship AI TV chip and self-researched AI Perfect Color Engine Pro, which can intelligently reshape colors for the screen and achieve a 110% REC.709 color gamut. As you can see in the picture below, the vivid colors in the actual sample are truly restored and projected on the wall in a very clear and soft way, which greatly refreshes our sensory perception.
From the above group of the sample, tests can be seen, Dangbei X3 Pro's image quality performance is very good, with clear and stable picture details, color vividness and saturation is just right, neither too bland, nor too gaudy, and the overall real natural, comfortable viewing.
In addition, Dangbei projection X3 Pro also supports HDR10+ high dynamic image technology, with 3200 ANSI lumens high brightness and 4K image quality, which can more perfectly restore the light and shadow effect of HDR video. In the HDR demo film, the falling sunset and the transition between light and dark leaves are very well placed.
Performance innovation, intelligent experience faster and more convenient
In addition to excellent picture quality, Dangbei Laser Projection X3 Pro has also made some hard work in hardware configuration, it is equipped with an MT9669 flagship AI TV chip, storage upgraded to 4GB + 128GB, smooth and smooth operation, more than enough for daily use.
The projector has a new built-in keystone correction chip, ToF laser sensor, and CMOS HD camera, plus a 6-axis gyroscope and upgraded spatial geometry algorithm, which enables faster and more accurate keystone correction to align the projector with screen, sensorless autofocus, automatic screen entry, and automatic obstacle avoidance, greatly reducing the debugging time after adjusting the body position, and the picture edge is subsequently enhanced.
In addition to faster operation, Dangbei X3 Pro also upgrades the intelligent functions, realizing the trinity of "screen-in, correction, and obstacle avoidance" at the same time, without separate operations. After we move the projector at will, the machine can quickly adjust the projected image to a square, clear state, while avoiding all obstacles and adjusting the projector screen size, which is very clever!
Through the sensor, Dangbei X3 Pro can also achieve intelligent sensing dimming, which can automatically adjust the brightness to a comfortable level for human eyes according to the ambient light. When the lens is working, if it senses someone passing in front, it will immediately and automatically reduce the brightness of the screen to prevent eye damage.
Speaking of which, it must be mentioned that in terms of eye protection, Dangbei X3 Pro has two other major tricks. One is that it has obtained the Rheinland low blue light certification, and the picture performance is softer; the second is equipped with a full mode of human eye protection, in addition to the protection of children in the mode can protect the eyes, other modes, and scenes are also applicable.
4K film and TV resources plus more, remote caching is more humane
For the Dangbei OS system, I think many people are full of praise. This X3 Pro is equipped with a Dangbei OS system, its main interface is left and right double area, the left side is the column area, the right side is the content display, and the upper left corner is the quick function area, search, settings, and message notification. Not only are there no boot-up ads to disturb, but thanks to the flagship chip and 4+128G memory, switching movies continuously within ten minutes is very smooth and silky, with no lag at all.
In terms of resources, the Dangbei OS system built-in "You Ai Teng Meng" and a large number of video variety show resources, users can also download their own APP applications according to their needs.
Surprisingly, Dangbei X3 Pro also launched the "X Vision" zone, which exclusively introduces 4K genuine sources. Users can enjoy ultra-high-definition lossless 4K sources when they open it, with 20 blockbuster movies updated every week, covering theatrical hit movies and restored old movies, and reaching 15-20Mbps HD bit rate, which is 4-5 times higher than ordinary online 4K movies, achieving true HD picture quality.
Of course, the data volume of ultra-HD sources is also very large, and the frequency of loading when the network is not good very affects the viewing experience. This point is Dangbei X3 Pro also for you to consider, through the cell phone "Dangbei home" APP (formerly known as Dangbei remote control), you can remote offline cache movies, dozens of G 4K film and television blockbuster said under the next, click on the cache at work time, home can be directly watched, think about it is a little beautiful.
4K silkscreen body + metal remote control high-end texture a machine embodiment
Finally, let's take a look at the appearance and design of the Dangbei X3 Pro. On the whole, Dangbei X3 Pro continues the atmospheric style of its predecessor, the black aerospace aluminum shell is stable and introspective, the 2.5D nano-skin glass top cover is delicate to the touch, and the high-end texture.
A block of industrial-grade wear-resistant gemstone glass on the front of the projector covers the lens module and TOF+CMOS camera module, protecting them from abrasion and dirt.
In addition, a 4K ULTRA HD gold silkscreen is added to the upper left corner, which coordinates with the gold Dangbei logo in the lower right corner, making it beautiful and atmospheric.
Behind the side of Dangbei X3 Pro is a large area of mesh structure, hidden under it are dual 10W large-cavity full-range speakers and a heat sink module, providing excellent sound quality while ensuring efficient heat dissipation, and the measured noise is as low as 46.4dB (45.1dB ambient noise).
The rear has a rich interface design with a power port, a wired network port, a S/POIF audio output port, an HDMI port, an HDMI/ARC port, two USB ports, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. Whether connecting speakers to projectors and monitors or using storage devices to play audio and video, there is ample interface hardware support. You also can connect iPhone to the projector via USB.
It is worth noting that the X3 Pro's remote control has been replaced with a metal one, echoing the high-end technology of the product, and it is more comfortable to hold in your hands with a full texture. In addition, the side of the remote control also has an additional red side build, a long press to achieve autofocus, a short press to manual focus, and a short press of the side down button to enter the quick set function, which is greatly convenient for users to operate.
