Are budget Amazon 1080p projectors any good? (Wimius K1 review & buyers guide)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 авг 2024
- It's pretty amazing to think you can get a native 1080p projector on Amazon for only around £200. But is it all too good to be true?
In this video, we review the Wimius K1 1080p Wi-Fi & Bluetooth Projector, and answer that question...

We set up a garden cinema night using this projector and a Vamvo portable screen!
My daughter passed away last year and I want to do a memorial party for her Oregon memory of Kristen Nicole Haynes are there any projectors on the market that will be able to to programming or anything of that nature and are there any of the projectors that have patterns that are amazing God kind of psychedelic fur
Sorry to hear that Bruce may the love of God comfort your heart ❤️ and your family's in Jesus name.!
That’s the best projector review I ever seen on RUclips, like really wow, you need to do more tech reviews. I wish you had projector comparison on different budget.
Thanks dude!
Hoping to get hold of more to review 🤞🤞
I agree. This is definitely one of the best reviews on a projector I've seen. The content is comprehensive, structured, and relevant to what I look for in a projector. Your style is also casual and real - we need more of this instead of sponsored biased reviews. Thank you and great job.
totally agree. So detailed
Just started looking into "budget" projectors and was pretty overwhelmed, but this video was very detailed and informative. You gave info that people wanted to hear and helped to give me a better understanding. Thank you for your time and effort
Awesome! Thank you!
This is not only the best review of projector, this is just a great, well-made video :) Props to you for not adding any background music, I like it a lot
Wow, thanks!
@@PhaseDriveVlogs oh btw man, if you are still interested in projectors, I would say that the best bang for your buck are Blitzwolf projectors, especially BW-VP6. A lot of people say that it's best on the market of budget projectors. Just wanted to let you know, in case you will be interested in an upgrade and didn't know about that one. :)
This was hands down the best specific recommendation the Algorithm has ever made for me. Your video is EXACTLY what I've been looking for, and I couldn't find it by searching.
Finally a useful review covering what you want to know
Glad to be of help!
Any questions about things we didn't cover in this video, just let us know!
One thing he mentioned, that I haven't yet heard elsewhere, but have experienced personally, is that keystone adjustment impacts edge quality... The straighter the projector angle to the screen, the less edge distortion.
This is accurate.
(In my limited experience with only one projector)
This is the best most informative review I've seen. I wish there were more like this one
Not only is this the best review of a projector I have seen in a while, you also know what you are talking about! The amount of distortion some the other designs have with cheap plastic Fresnel lens's is ridiculous. I had a Vankyo V620 for a while, but could never get a sharp image.
yes i have a vankyo 630 and just ordered this projector. finger crossed i get a non blurred right corner lol.
You can use bluetooth speakers! I have the Yaber V6 that I’ve been using for a few months and I use Logitech z407 bluetooth speakers. I connect them to my fire stick. This method won’t work with Roku since Roku doesn’t have a Bluetooth function. If you connect the speakers to the projector itself there is definitely a noticeable lag that is frustrating. I just personally wasn’t a fan of the built in speakers so this worked perfectly for me. I also connect the speakers to my bluray player that I have set up with the projector. I find the projector looks amazing when using a hardwired source like this compared to streaming but streaming also looks great for me as well :)
I understand what you mean by keeping your tv. I also have a 4K tv because I do enjoy 4K resolution and not worrying about walking in front of the image sometimes or if I have ambient light coming in. This is a great review! Very balanced, thanks 😊
I’ve had a yaber Y30 projector for a while and it’s extremely good for the money, put a white screen behind it to brighten it up, hooked it up to some cinema speakers and I can’t complain
Now this a freaking review people! My mind is blown by the quality of this video. Well done...standing ovation sir. Keep up the great work, I will be subscribing.
You got a sub friend. Thank you for taking time and being so honest. I've actually ended up with Artlii Energon 2. There are just so many options out there with the same components under different names it's overwhelming.
Would you please tell me how Well its going with the artlii? Do you know the diferente betwen artlii and vamvo, the same model?
@@manuelmena2958 My Artlii Energon works great. As far as the difference between the two I think it's just in the name. Same components.
Best projector review I have come across
One of the best reviews out there for this category of projectors. Very detailed and helpful! Thank you so much!
Wow, thanks!
Hi! I don't know if you'll read this, but I just wanted to thank you for making this video! I love watching films, and I've been thinking about buying a projector but I don't have much money to do so. Therefore, I searched for an affordable projector but with a '1080p' / high quality. Thank god I stumbled upon this video! You've explained everything so clearly, and thanks to you I was able to made up my mind. The projector's arrived today, and now we're using it. It's absolutely worth it! The quality is amazing! Thank you again!
Happy to help. Enjoy!
This is the second or third time I've stumbled across your channel when searching for specific things in the last couple months, and I just want to thank you for this in-depth look at an actually affordable projector!
I've been looking around for a couple days now for a decent one myself. We did have an extremely cheap one from Amazon a few years back (like £20-£50 cheap) but that one had a horrible green-tint to everything no matter what, was barely 480p and never seemed in focus. I was beginning to think that you HAVE to spend £500 minimum for a decent viewing experience, but it's nice to see that there are affordable options out there, so thank you for this.
Just found this review. Brilliant mate. A good down to earth proper review that isnt heavily biased or paid for. New subscriber earned
Good review, but I did buy and just today returned… love the Amazon return process, so easy. Biggest gripe, fan noise, 2nd biggest grip, keystoning has a huge affect on focus. Impossible to get focus when text is on the screen with keystone set to -10. Could only get a sharp focus on one part of the screen and no happy medium. Picture was more than acceptable and brightness was fantastic. My db app had the fan at 53db while my 12 year old 1080p Optoma that’s in dire need of a bulb was only producing 42dB. Even in full 7.1 surround, you still have parts that are quiet in the movie and all I can hear is that fan. So, I guess I’ll just splurge on a bulb, old is still good lol. Cheers.
grab an optoma, they are genuinely well built and last and a 1080p one really isn't that expensive anymore
@Phase Drive Vlogs
I subscribed 5mins in because this was a very solid & honest review. I wish you could buy & review a lot more of these generic Amazon/EBay electronics, as not all of us can afford high end gear all the time
Thanks for the review. I'm still kicking it around vs VILINICE 5000L Mini Bluetooth.
Sam - we’ve just ordered this model based on your review, as a birthday present for our daughter. Good review - you sold it to us. Thanks! We’ll see what she thinks!
Hope you enjoy it!
Thanks for providing such a clear and straight forward review. Especially good to hear about the fan appearing to be a user serviceable part.
Convinced me to purchase, cheers!
Great review. I probably agree with your preferance against the manual keystone adjustment, however for a different reason. You say it adds an extra layer of poor optics. I would say it's more the fact it knocks the focus out between the top and bottom of the picture. When you lift the lid, your projector has a 45 degree mirror. It's just yours is fixed apposed to a manual adjust that moves. I would advise anyone to try to mount the projector as central as possible to the screen.
Just buying my first projector. Brilliant presentation. I’ve subscribed. Thanks
Excellent review and guide! Covers pretty much all the relevant points for me to choose to purchase for my nephew and his family. I come from a home movie background of Super 8mm, 9.5mm and 16mm and for many years electronic projection didn't "do it" for me. Raj and I finally went digital about 10 years ago and in 2012 I splashed out on a used Panasonic PT AE 1000 which we project on to a 60 ins wide old tripod screen and play sound through Yamaha 5 channel receiver. Oops ... I am starting to ramble! I love the projected image. Cheers!
Great review, very helpful. I'd been looking at this projector and this video was full of info and answered all the questions I had. Bought this one now. Can't wait for it to arrive now!
I have a JVC X790 for the home theater and this projector for the kid's bedroom. There is no comparison, of course. The JVC is superior in every way imaginable. However, these inexpensive Chinese projectors generally work well for the price. The kids love it. It's also nice to watch sports from time to time or UFC PPV or just have a movie night outdoors. Just be sure to use the Bluetooth audio from the Firestick or nVidia Shield, not the Bluetooth built into the projector.
An outstanding review with lots of useful information not only tied to the product that is being reviewed. Thanks a lot.
Great review, just what I needed to make my desition
Glad we could help!
Just found you searching for a projector and I already like you, thanks buddy, great informative vid 👍😊👍
9/10; would invite this guy to dinner
Why thankyou! :D
What's on the menu?
Hey! Thank you for this great video. Do you still use the VP after 2 years?
Exactly what I needed to know! Thank you.
Very good and honest review this guy covered a lot of the points to look out for in projectors. However there was no mention of whether there was any 3D capabilities maybe it has none where as most projectors have that feature which I believe is an awesome feature which 3d TVs could never match.
But as I say the guy has given a very good and honest appraisal of a budget projector for the price you can't really complain.
those cheap project doesnt have 3d capabilities
Very helpful. Thanks, mate.
Glad it helped
Nice in-depth review covering all the important bases, thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Great review, answered a lot of my questions. Thanks 👍
It's still WAYYYYYYYYYY better than what I grew up with in the 1970's, 1980's, and 1990's!!!!! Even way better than the 2000's!!!!!
just got one of these today after watching your vids and i am gob smacked with it mate you where spot on for the price its a no brainer cheers bud
Great review man. Honest and to the point on all aspects. I would like to mention that I'Ve used several Anker speakers through BT and never ever had any issues with them. Also, it could be just be because I'm watching through RUclips but the fan noise did sound quite loud in fairness. Obviously movie audio can drown that out depending on your projector placement...
used projectors are often fine at most replace the bulb, the build quality tends to be so much better that a good projector can last a lifetime, im still running an optoma HD141x which is 1080p and even 720p120hz for gaming, running great for 6 years so far and only recently replaced the bulb, when the projector was only £399 when i got it back then and only £90 for a bulb it stands to reason that paying that extra ammount for quality projector that will definitely last and will mostly definitely have a standard 4 to 6 year warranty for the extra price definitely outweighs the negative that cheap projectors often come with, namely the short bulb life and how much dimmer they get quickly and finding replacement parts for a none brand projector is next to impossible and even when they do put out parts they again become difficult to find after only a year or two
Thanks A LOT! This is exactly the kind of review i needed, and feel very identified with some of the experiences you told with other proyectors, and a bunch of doubts you've cleared that i could say "I knew it!" (but i didn't, lol). Really, great job.
Glad it was helpful!
Really great review; I did think the super high lumens number was a bit suspicious!
Great video! I've been watching dozens of budget projector reviews and this is going to be my last one. I'm also a quality snob, but I'm on a budget so this seems perfect. Plus this projector is on sale for Black Friday! Thanks again
for the cost its pretty allright, I bought the toptro on sale for around 180€ since we just moved in another apartment where there's this giant empty wall in the living room, I didn't want to spend 1k on a 75'' tv to fit that space so... this was the perfect option...what u lose in resolution from a 4k smart tv, you forget right away the first time u chill there in front of this giant "screen" that costs me less than a 24'' monitor...
the most comprehensive review ever, well done
I'm so glad I watched this. Thanks for doing the heavy lifting more me. So many variables!
You're so welcome!
Most informative! I have been thinking about a digital projector for a while now, but I know next to nothing about them and the price also put me off. I took in a lot of good info with this video, and it seems I don't have spend a fortune to get a good start at least. If I find it suits me then I can maybe think about investing a bit more, but this is a good 'give it a try' option.. Thanks a lot, appreciated!
I've been searching youtube for days watching reviews on projectors. I've seen loads now but yours is definitely the best and most informative 👌 thanks. I have a £500 budget do you have any recommendations?
I have a Yaber one for the kids. They do animated movies, cartoons, kids shows real well. But for movies, especially in low light scenes, it's no match for a high end projector. But for things kids enjoy, it's perfect and cheap and you will definitely get your money's worth for that.
Excellent Honest Review, Very Helpful And Informative. Many Thanks For Sharing.
INCREDIBLE REVIEW, I just wanted a decent product at a relatively affordable price and you gave me that, THANKYOU! Most of the youtube vids covering projectors are terrible for some reason. would you recommend any projector screen for this unit at a good price?
Fantastic review by the way, concise and informative.
Pittsburgh Resident here, the Mr. Rogers footage was kind of hilarious lol. I don't live far from the Mr. Rogers house either.
Amazing in depth review, very informative! Thank you
You forgot the low power consumption of these Chinese LED projectors, these run at about 145 watts in use,while most ( XENON) BULB projectors consume around 300 to 400 Watts per hour,also in summer these don't heat the room to much...
Thanks for the review. Really informative and thorough.
This is amazing, you cant imagine how much you have helped. Great review, really honest. Keep it up!!
I just bought it and when I connect the phone to see Netflix, it reproduces the sound but not the video. Also when I connect HDMI to my laptop, it shows the screen duplicated and on the bottom a green square. Does anybody know how to change it?
@@laeradelviaje Likely a software issue - contact the seller or manufacturer
Excellent review, with a clear concise explanation!
This is the balanced informative video I was looking for.
This is a really great video. Thanks for making it!
What appears to be the same projector is sold in Australia under brand ‘Devanti’ and they list their version as 300 ANSI Lumens
Great vídeo probably the BEST i have seen about reviews and all this stuff, thankkk u bro
Glad it was helpful!
nice work ...i got what i wonder ....fan noise
like yor faq section too . very informative
It's perfect except for the gaming aspect - I really wonder about what the best budget projector for gaming is. Everything else is wonderful though, it's a shame about the response time!
Really great objective review, set expectations well. You get what you pay for, and these projectors are great value
Thank you for such an informative review. Any plans to review the Wimius K8/ Toptro X3?
superb thorough review, thanks. i've had mid range and budget projectors and always had to send them back due to dust and brown heat patch on inner lens. great that you can open this to clean. thanks for showing that - 3 questions
1 - there seems to be a removable panel on one side - is this a cleanable filter access?
2 - the fan noise, do you have a do you have a db measurement?
3 - i'm pitching this against a Bomaker 9000:1 contrast that seems to have much more punching colours, whilst your video shows them to be pretty pastel even with your adjustments - for example skin tones are crucial as you know, but so are whites and block colours in things like clothing. i know you're never going to get it perfect but do the image controls allow for realistic saturation without losing say fabric texture and even fastenings on someone's coat? with cheap projectors these are the things that determine quality, so that people don;t walk around in dull clothing or clothes that are just blocks of colour.
4 - there is NO, NO 4th thing, is that clear?
1) yep, there's a removable dust filter which you can very easily access and clean
2) I don't have a proper measurement, but I believe it falls between 30 and 40db if you're sat reasonably close
3) I can't really comment on specifics of contrast ratio and colour reproduction. But all I will say there is I was able to get a reasonably accurate image based on the settings shown in the video (though I have since dropped the contrast and brightness a little to reduce highlight blowout).
4) And I have no answer 😉
@@PhaseDriveVlogs thanks, i know you didn't expect a Spanish Inquisition
Thank you so much! This video was very useful!
Glad it was helpful!
I didnt mean to watch this video but it was playing in the background and this was a helpful review
Great comprehensive review. Really enjoyed this, new subscriber here!
Thanks very much, just the review I needed.
Appreciate this review tremendously. Very well done sir. Makes my decision easier
Excellent unbiased review, thanks.
It may seem a silly question, but: My wife has a 720p projector, and would like upgrade to 1080p as we have lots of movies of that format on SD Cards and USB sticks as well as SSD cards. So, the question is ... What is the maximum capacity USB drive that can be plugged in? I have approx 200GB of movies stored.
Great review, well done picking up all of the key issues. What external Bluetooth receiver would you recommend for this product please?
Absolutely terrific content. Very helpful.
After a year of purchasing my wimius k1 I started to see a brown haze appear on the screen.I emailed the manufacturer about it.. They responded asking for photos which I then sent them. I am yet to hear from them.
Great review mate! Very honest!
Great in depth review 👏
What will be better for the garden, one of these or an optoma 145x ? Will the optoma be worth the extra money ?
Thanks
I bought an epsom a few years ago 3000 ansi lumens. They are great projectors but much more expensive. I decided to buy a portable projector for convenience and learned one thing, once you’ve had a real deal home theater projector these budget ones just suck! They really only work casting a smaller image at a closer distance once you hit 100 inches or so the image fades considerably. My Epsom can cast a 350 inch image and is brighter than the budget protector at 60 inches. Thought I’d add to the conversation sometimes it’s just better to save for something better.
Good job! Very informative.
Excellent review 👍 I think I ll buy currently on sale on Amazon uk
The fabric on top really bothers me though
Sending equipment with batteries is always a bit problematic, the packages can not be stored everywhere in case the recipient is not at home.
I think that's why they are sent without.
And of course thanks for this review, the brightness is a bit too low for me. Even in your dark room, the picture looked very dark, which is why I will probably opt for a somewhat more expensive beamer.
they are 320 Ansi and the manufacturer is rigal model rd828
Great review very informative
Thanks for the review. Can you make one of interactive projectors?
Will look into it...
Thanks, it was a good explanation, Can you try the winius k8 please. Watching since Colombia
hiya - loved the video!! just wondering, what are some signs/how can you tell that you probably need to open up the projector and dust it?
You'll start to notice dust particles on the screen. I usually give it a clean when I start to see more and more dust build up.
If you're using it often, I'd say maybe once every 2-4 weeks unless it's not really bothering you.
What sound amplifier would you suggest. We use a sound bar but we find that the sound is slightly off to the image and also it's not loud enough and everything's hardwired
Great review just subbed looking forward to seeing more, atvb Ged and Shan 👍
Great video thanks so much! I'm torn between the K1 and the K7. Which would you recommend?
Well made review, subscribed!
Much appreciated!
Great video. The hue or tint maybe available only in ntsc mode as opposed to pal if it can be switched or 50-60 KHZ?.
8:16 - "white label" might have been the better term to use here instead of "private label"...
However, the actual point is still relevant/valid regardless of which term is being used
Thanks for the video. I decided to buy one, it came today but I can't get the lens cover off. Does it just pull off? Thanks again.
@@chriswalker83cw Sometimes the cover is a little stiff and needs a little extra force. Try turning the focus wheel until it's pushed out.
@@PhaseDriveVlogs thanks, I managed to pry something under it, it was really on though. Really impressed with it £50 off atm on amazon too.
Very informative, thank you! One question: Is the firestick’s bluetooth good enough to use for audio?
Hi, yes the fire stick's bluetooth should be a good alternative to the crappy bluetooth in the projector itself.
I usually use my firestick bluetooth connection with sony wireless headphones or a soundbar with the projector and it works great!
Who knows I returned mine after the chromecast with googletv didn’t work with it! No sound…
Great review 🙂👍
You have to try the Quest 2 for a personal cinema experience, it’s fantastic, I’m sure you’d love it
I have actually tried it on the original Quest and it was definitely cool! Though it hurts your eyes after a while
@@PhaseDriveVlogs it affects some people more than others unfortunately.
3D movies are fantastic in it too, the sense of depth is remarkable ☺️
Did u use a screen or wall when projecting? Can you just show images / picture from iPhones , usb stick etc. great review
I got a 1080p projector for 140 US dollars on amazon but it was also a lightning deal
Which one pls
Your review is specific good review👍
Thank you so much 🙂
A well presented first rate review......Is it true that this projector is also good for presenting powerpoint?
You can certainly use it for office presentations, though you would need curtains/blinds closed and lights off for people to be able to see it properly
