Thank you Chris! You are the expert on projectors and I appreciate you doing all the hard work so we can just sit back and watch.
WOW it's finally here . Was waiting for this review.
ya really finally reviews coming out for this
Great review as always, I look forward to you checking out the XGIMI Horizon Pro!
Excellent videos Chris! Thanks for your always detailed reviews. I'm currently using an Epson 696ui that I repaired from a lightning strike, and even though its an LCD UST 1080p classroom projector, It's pretty decent for a home unit that we use it for. But like most Epsons I encounter l, they have iffy black levels, but on the bright side, the color reproduction is amazing
Great review! Glad I found this channel
You're an amazing writer and reviewer. Thank you.
Appreciate the honest comment about pricing. nice review, thanks.
I have the VAVA 4K Evolve and I love it! I’m considering upgrading to this, it’s by far the nicest looking projector in existence.
Been waiting for this
Thank you for your review! I was F5ing like crazy 😂
Cant wait to receive my chroma! 😊
me 2 says it in DEC

SO what. We got the BEST deal of the year not worry about
If you're the first 330 backers you should receive it by the end if November I believe
Great review as always
Great video Chris you always deliver.
Do you recommend this Vava or the Optoma P2? Looking at upgrading my current ultra short throw Hd1080gtdarbee. I do love the 150 inch option with Vava but I don't see a bundle for that screen size.
I'm upgrading from an Epson eh-tw4400 1080p which I LOVED. I used it with a cheap pull down screen. Would the current generation of UST match it for black levels in a darkened room?
Great info! I’m curious if it has native 24fps support, or if it *requires* interpolation to be turned on to get rid of bad judder? Also, can you measure input lag with stereo 3D games like Trine and Zen Pinball 2 on PS4?
Chris, how far back to get the 130" and 150" displays from the wall assuming 7.2" for 100"?
Please review the Bomaker Polaris. Very interested to know how it compares. Thanks!
Hello Chris, since VAVA chroma don't use the color wheel but use the Triple laser light source instead. Could I expect that there are no more "Rainbow effect" ? (I like the sharpness from DLP but I have problem with rainbow effect.)
Brother I also planning to setup Theater hall in basement could you help me to find right type of alr electric pull down screen. I prefer 150” for Vava Croma.. thanks.
Have been waiting for your review on this projector (even though as you mentioned, it is the pre-production version). I appreciated the honest opinion you shared regarding the original Vava - including the caveats / shortcomings (e.g. distance from screen/wall, etc.) - which in turn helped make my decision easier of returning it even though I got it at the lowest price last holiday season.
Would appreciate if you could share your opinions on few things regarding this projector:
1. I am very sensitive to rainbow effect (was able to notice the rainbow effect right away while viewing Revenant (initial fight scene as it transitions from dark to bright scenes) while helping a friend setup his Vava / home theater (using your videos as reference) last year. I understand triple laser DLP projectors MIGHT not be as susceptible to rainbow effect but wondering if you noticed any rainbow effect. I am not sure if you might be sensitive to rainbow effect and understand sensitivity varies from person to person (my buddy was not sensitive at all so ended up keeping the original Vava and enjoys it whereas I get a headache every time I go over to his house for football games or movie night or even just being in the same room while his kids play games on it). Would appreciate any input regarding rainbow effect on the Chroma.
2. How does the Vava compare (picture quality wise) to the BenQ v7050i which also uses same technology and which you reviewed recently.
3. I have an older Epson (2010?) 1080p 3D projector and have had not problems with it. Love the image and no rainbow effect. How does the Chroma compare to the LS500 as well as the Epson 5050UB as far as picture quality goes? I understand DLP projectors can produce "richer" colors compared to 3LCD but rainbow effect would drive me nuts as already mentioned. Also, although I would prefer an ultra short throw projector, I already have my basement wired in the ceiling for ceiling mount projector as well so could go either way (e.g. 5050UB or even my old Epson if its worth holding off for couple years for UST projectors to mature).
4. One other thing I appreciated (and helped me decide to return the original) from your old video was finding out how far the original Vava had to placed from the wall. How far does the Chroma need to be placed from the wall?
Anyway, would appreciate any input especially if there might be any show stoppers (e.g. rainbow effect, too far - back of unit more than a foot - away from wall, etc.) if it might helps me decide instead of regretting my decision if I decide to get the Chroma. Am I being too optimistic regarding the Chroma with the issues I mentioned that I tend to suffer from with DLP? Thanks much!
Hello thank you for this review; Would you recommend the Samsung lsp7t or this one prior its release price increase.? I currently have the Samsung but no 3D I don’t know if I will win in image quality with the 3 lasers thank you
how is the focus uniformity of the zoom lens compared to fixed lens like jmgo u2, samsung, hisense? No review talks about it.
Hey Chris. My family love to be outside around the pool during the day and at night. Which projector and projection screen do you recommend?
hello sir ive been watching your vids for the pas 2 days now. im in collage and i dont want to get a tv again..i want a good 4K projector but in a mid range budget beetween 1.5K - 1.8K $ i cant go to 5K$.. any suggestions on what to buy?
How’s does it compare to the previous VAVA laser project? I have the first Gen and want to know if it’s worth it to get the chroma?
Are there any drop down or electric floor screens for UST that do 150"?
Android TV question. The ones that come with the android stick for example benQHT 3550i. Can I swap that android stick for a Roku stick instead in the same hdmi port? If I want the projector to boot up to a Roku screen? That’s what I have on all of my TVs and what I’m most comfortable with.
Bro I know it’s a pre production but you didn’t mention how the picture quality is compared to the Samsung and the highsense.
Hi Chris, Which did you enjoy and would purchase, Vava Chroma vs BenQ V7050i? :)
Since this is a pre-production unit that was reviewed, will there be an updated review on the final product?
Hey Chris love your videos and your reviews. What are your thoughts on the xgimi aurora?
Nice work! One question: 8:52 Why does the car change color? Blue, Magenta, Green?
Nice video, Chris! Not looking at the lumens between the older Vava, is the Chrome brighter?
Thanks Chris
Great review since I don't work I watch 10 hrs a day my only concern is with most 4k laser tv only 25k and 30k hours so my only question is how much in average to replace the parts you need to use it again thanks hope to here from you soon
Hi Chris, sorry to bother you. Could you please confirm/explain if the source video is HDR but we turn off HDR setting in the Chroma menu is the video still played as HDR and we can apply custom settings to it like brightness, color, contrast… or is that video played as SDR? Sorry for my amateur knowledge.
If you turn off HDR, your streamer doesn't know so it will still send an unmapped image to the Chroma allowing you to do whatever you want.
Hey can you review the nebula cosmos max please as its more in line with my budget thanks.
Hi Chris is possible you share your color calibration for Chroma thanks
Hi, is there a way to switch the Vava Chroma from 60 to 50 Hz for (pal) tv content? With the Vava 4K this was possible
Yo I'm looking for a ust projector for gaming and movie nights, my price range is around £2/3K, any suggestions ?
Would prefer a 4k projector even if it's s little over budget ^-^
Initial feelings vs new Hisense you just reviewed? and what about the screen specs vava vs hisense?
Vava is a no name untested brand...
Nice work Chris! What are your thoughts on this Vava Choma vs Samsung LSP7T
The chroma is better bang for the buck
I am actually looking for the same answer
Not taking into account price what is the best UST projector?
You said it can go to 150 inch. Any chance getting a brief 2 minutes review update video of a much bigger image? I think I can fit around the 140 range. Thanks for the video no matter what
this one goes all the way to 150" screen , only 16/9 ratio ALR screen , AS screen made for short throw Projectors such as is NOT made for that size yet , the biggest ALR SCREEN is 123 " screen. Other material screen u don't get that quality pic from these kinda projectors!
Which did you enjoy and would purchase, Vava Chroma vs BenQ V7050i?
I bought the original (white) VAVA just before the Chroma was announced. Is the Chroma that much better? Should I return the one I bought?
Thanks Chris, Does this supports eARC for soundbar?
Afternoon Chris!
Looking for advise on the option between VAVA Chroma, Xgimi Aura and Optoma P2 & D2. Although I love the Formovie, 3D is a must for me (Which eliminates the Formovie). Which would you recommend between VAVA Chroma & Xgimi Aura?
I'd like to know too
Is it possible to use a Firestick 4k with this ? or is it locked to Roku and other ?
i really don't understand why none of these projectors doesn't have the cover? how hard is it to add the simple cover?
This one Vs LG hu85la which one is better image quality plz plz reply 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you for the great review. Do you have an advice for a normal (not ust) beamer with better specs but equal price? I backed the chroma already, but I‘m not sure after your review.
I just bought LG HU 810 laser projector and after watching this review I am glad i made that decision. In my opinion that is the best laser unit for the money. Image quality of LG seems day and night difference than this vava.
@@Bestfriend-650
Of course if u have extra $2500 to throw around , would BUY those rip offs LG/SAMSUNG OR Hienses for $6000, no one stopping anyone ..basically u paying for name NOT the projector, first VAVA still kicking a** between the other projectors in feathers & pic quality in lower price & this is NOT a final project yet... & I'm sure this CHROMA gonna do the same this time around in lower price, U cant get this projector quality & this BEST OF THE YEAR promotion again even in next year deals from any one or any companies Guaranteed & is almost ending!
No HDMI 2.1 and I noticed that they don't like to talk about input lag on their website. What is the input lag for gaming?
What about the 4K 24p, this version support or is like the old Vava?
Also in 2021/2022 without HDMI 2.1 ?!?! I will never buy, is old before go out!
Hi Chris, greatly appreciate your review as I think your reviews are truely presenting the quality of a product, so thank you for that.
In your opinion if the Vava team fix those bugs around HDR and color would you say that it wouldn’t be far away from hisense l9g, lg hu85la or even benq v7?
Maybe a better question would be, does Vava hardware have a potential to be on pair with other usts mentioned above, are those issues only due software?
i am also interested
Which one the best leasr 4k projector for movie and sports?
what was the source for the ironman clip? is it me or does it seems not as clear and kinda pixelated and color was not that great??
It was a bit out of focus because I was focused on the vava and the sound, not the screen.
Thanks! For a basement with no natural light but controlled artificial light, do you suggest this at crowdfunding price which includes screen? Specially for everyday viewing as tv replacement.
I would suggest the Epson 5050 since you have a light controller room. You can find that for 2500 at times. My buddy has one and I was very impressed with the performance. Plenty bright and better blacks than an ultra short throw.
Great video
Now for today. Is it the best option for that price range? It is available for 2300$ while Bomaker Polaris is available for 1600$. Both are tricolor with 2500 ANSI lumen. Although I am not sure I can trust the Bomaker. What do you think?
From someone who has been mostly out of the loop on projector technology for the past several years, your reviews have been incredibly helpful. I'm curious as to where this projector ranks compared to the Hisense model. Other than refresh rate, are these fairly comparable?
I doged a bullet on this projector people are pissed with the chroma quality is crap out of the box you have to mess with the setting to get a half decent picture and after care is crap. I was one of the lucky ones to get my money back through charge back. The fought tooth and nail to keep my money and give me a shoddy product. Even if it goes down in price DO NOT get the vava chroma.
Chris, thank you very much for the review, really very helpful. One question I have is does the image quality for 150 inch screen is good? because no other UST 4K projector can support this size?
LG hu810 can
@@bman5600 Thank you very much for your help. I have limited distance in my living room, therefore regular projectors do not work for me. I am looking for ultra short throw projectors.
THERE is really NO Pure 150" ALR in market yet , Biggest is 123" , if there is would around $4000, to expensive to buy, would be the same price of projector, so would be not much customer for it ...they made screen similar to ALR for 150" size , but is not that good materiel/ambient in daytime viewing ...BUT still good having this CHROMA goes up to 150" size without paying $6000 for it like other one . to me don't go all up in screen maxed up as they says , because u really don't get that full vivid colors, sharp pic & brightness with budget price short throw projectors ..so always stay under 135" screen!
@@SFBenjaminK Thank you very much for your reply. I really appreciated. I painted my wall with ALR paint instead of using a ALR. Since my living room is in the dark side, also I do not watch anything during the day, only movies at night. I did read a lot about Vava Chroma but not sure about the image quality, also the throw distance a bit too far when I compare to Samsung or LGs UST projectors.
Thanks for the Review. I was considering the Hisense 9 and the Vava Chroma. I got the Chroma and a 120 inch screen for $2800. This is $3100 less than the Hisense. What do you think
You got the projector shown in this video w/ a screen for 2800? I'd LIKE to say that's a deal but if I'm being honest, I believe that should be the normal price. It's msrp is probably high due to the current inflation, chip shortage and production setbacks from the pandemic.
How did you get it for 2800 though?
@@thelonestranger777 launch day special, no longer available. They still haven't shipped, of course. Chris has a review sample.
me 2, got it for $2800, no any f*n company or deals or blk Fridays can come close to it this year or NEXT year ,hands down to VAVA, even the first VAVA still kicking ass in pic quality , plus for $3500 is now worth every penny compare to others rip offs , ..BUT another hand if wanna pay $5 or &6000 for maybe one or 2 feathers more go right ahead , no one stopping U lol 👍
Isn't there a new version of this coming out soon?
What kind of 3d glasses should i get for this?
Backed the fund raiser hopefully it pans out otherwise im out of pocket 😬
What's the logic behind Vava sending out for review, a pre-production unit? Given how the company has been around for some time, sending out a post-production unit would be more informative, and any changes can be made through software upgrades. If I am a restaurant reviewer, for example, and the chef sends me a steak to sample, then tells me that they are going to be making changes before they start permanently serving steaks, really doesn't help me in my review, because I can only review what is, and not what's to be.
I’m not sure if you reply to comments but could you or someone please tell me if 2000 lumens is more than enough for brightness ina. Dark theater like room. BenQ HT3550 for example. I’m having trouble finding this answer for lumens needed in a dark room.

Hi Chris or anyone here, LSP7T or vava chroma, I'll be pairing either with the vividstorm ProS floor motorised ALR screen
Plz plz make a video on side by side comparison between Samsung Lsp9t vs Vava chroma plz plz plz
When are you going to review the wemax nova short throw projector?
Nice video. Can it be fixed on the ceiling ?
How did you get Netflix to work? I couldn't get them to run.
What about rainbow effect? Is it noticable?
Please review JVC nz3 vs lg hu810
I have Hisense px1 pro. Should I switch to Vava
Can you test out bomaker brand for me
Thanks for the review!!! question? without eARC means no Atmos output?
Correct
Will need Av receiver or if you have a atmos sound bar. You will need HDFURY
Pena que no Brasil o preço é um absurdo 🙏🙏 se tiver ainda srs
This or jmgo u2 pro?
Rule No.1 we do not talk about Chris’ t-shirt
Rule No. 2 we do not talk about Chris’ t-shirt
Anyway Chris thanks for the review, much appreciated.
you get some internet points today, bud!
Looks nice, the original VAVA also has CEC support, I am able to control my firestick and soundbar with the VAVA remote.
Bro do you know how the picture quality is compared to the Samsung and the highsense?
Vava good enough... but I'm sure the samsung, hisense and even the Benq is better quality.
@@ricky3506 I don't have the new Chroma projector but I will review it when they send me one.
hdr mode turns every movie into Hellboy
Wyze should release a projector
I'm confused why they use the term "native" for 4K resolution when it's pixel shifting. Shouldn't it be native 1080p with 4k pixel shifting tech? Less deceiving, I guess?
Ok here is the deal. People are interchanging them for some reason. "True" 4k mean that they use pixel shifting tech to get to a 4k image so they manufactures say it's a true 4k image. Its not it is phony 4k using tricks to get to that image. NATIVE 4k means that they have a 4k native chip and do not pixel shift. All you really have to know is 99% of the projectors on the market are using pixel shifting including every UST projector. The only models that are really "Native" 4k are the Sony 397 and its successor models and the JVC NX7 and its successor models. They both use native 4k chips and are around $9,500 range. SOME reviewers are trying for some reason to say some of these projectors present a "Native" image when they don't. It may be close but none are native. People are interchanging Native and True and its is miss information IMO on some of these projectors that people are reviewing. Not saying he does it but others do.
@@scotttild yeah. I was thinking the same thing. The term “Native” should only be used when referring to projectors that actually meet the criteria of having the native chip in them. Got no issues with pixel shifting. It produces great images and I also enjoy 1080 being upscale to 4K. It’s the disingenuous nature of these reviewers I don’t like. It’s not necessary, I feel.
Can you do an update?
thanks for the amazing review as always. If compared to hisense and samsung, how much will I miss If i go with the vava chroma?
Brightness, color, and HDR performance
@@ChrisMajestic so technically i will miss whatever are the best features in the movie world😢😢
Chris if price is not an issue it seems like you would recommend canceling the Vava Chroma and getting the Hisense L9G

why not Gary , u always can cancel $3500 and pay $6000 instead for Hisense L9G0

@@ChrisMajestic Thanks for the great review 👍. Do you think with improvements the VAVA CHROMA could be ad good as the L9G? Would you recommend canceling the VAVA chroma and buy the Hisense
Vava chroma vs Hisense trichroma?
I need some help making a new movie theater room
Sorry one more question. On a scale 1-10 when you tweak Vava chroma picture settings how much would you give Vava vs Hisense L9g?
I mean I wouldn’t mind manually tweaking the picture settings as long as the outcome is great.
There are certain things you can't change like brightness. The L9G is much brighter and has a much better menu system and OS. The vava looks okay after bring tweaked but it's still not great. They have some work to do with the colors and tone mapping.
@@ChrisMajestic thanks, mate. Im a backer and a bit concerned that Im supporting something that will not be easy to correct, like that colors snd tone mapping.
I get that its a preproduction unit but they should have done better job with a prototype and then go crowd funding.
When is the Official Release of the Vava Chroma ...?
Thank you!!! Still don't have TIME to install 120`` screen? OMG.. please review it asap.. we're waiting..
I was really tempted by this but I have a hard time opting for anything without HDMI 2.1. I get that most things don't really need it but if I'm dropping this much cash i want it to be relatively future proof
THIS one dose a great job as he says for games ...BUT if u have XTERA $2500 to throw around for HDMI 2.1 & get that $5000-$6000 Samsung & hinese rip offs no one stopping u
@@SFBenjaminK Or I could just wait for the next generation?
@@tomgreen2058
Yeah its couple of years away
@@SFBenjaminK you think? I reckon we'll see them sooner than that. Let's meet back here in a year and discuss
@@tomgreen2058
VAVA MAKES IT EVERY 2 YEARS, the first one was 2019, this one like really count as 2022 model, 2022 we there in 2 months
They need to come out with a minimum 3000ANSI lumens already. Hisense has the right idea with brightness. Why don't they release higher ANI lumens?
2500 would be amazing if this projector could make a 40inch screen. sadly the smallest it can go is 80inches meaning you'd want about 7000lumens to get something nearly HDR1000 spec. if VAVA can hit 120Hz I think TV makers would be in full panic mode.
Hmmm, seems reasonable.
So I'm guessing the L9G is still your preferred UST at the moment? The black level is a deal breaker on the L9G for me.
Yes I would still choose the L9G. Black levels are only marginally better on the Vava but the hisense is considerably brighter.
@@ChrisMajestic Is the VAVA outperforming anyone in the middle of the pack? I know the L9G is your current favourite, but you recently reviewed the BenQ as being pretty good too.

well i bought VAVA CHROMA on launch day for $2800/120" screen included , U cant f*n beat that , LOVIN IT ...BUT same time my friend bought a projector dont know about call JMGO U2 he bought it on launch day for $1800, now is $2100 on promotion , still f*n good , of course got less feathers, BUT comes to pic got a Stunting pic quality for the price he paid only $1800, just WOW liked it alot
@tobi9 yeah my Samsung LSP9T just arrived yesterday... It was the black levels that made me pass on the Hisense too... Such a shame because I really wanted to know I was future-proofed with those HDMI 2.1 ports!! But I also didn't want to be locked into a fixed-focus either in case I ever move or want to upgrade the screen size in the future.

Awesome. Thanks for the reply Chris!!
the way i thinking base on ur question , I paid $2800 with 120" screen or now is $3500 >>Chroma VS. $6000 Hisense L9G for only couple of feathers different LOL
