12 intelligent mini projectors Hengping
Written in front of the words: After half a month in 2015 Hengping intelligent micro-projector was finally on the line, this time we ZOL projector channel selected the most mainstream market, but also the highest degree of attention 12 smart mini The projector performs a horizontal comparison evaluation. The major test items of the Hengping review included: appearance, system, viewing, color, focusing, data, and other aspects. Based on the principle of fairness and fairness, we conducted repeated testing on each machine, and we will actually test The data is completely open. The main purpose of this Hengping review is to help the majority of netizens and friends understand the mainstream smart micro-projection products on the market. Through our rigorous and professional tests, you can find the one that is suitable for you.
When it comes to smart micro projectors, many of my friends and colleagues around the world have been consulting with me so that I can recommend them a fun, easy-to-use micro projector. So what kind of product can we call a fun, easy-to-use smart mini projector? For those who do not understand the projector, how to choose the right micro-projection among the many brand categories?
In addition to selecting the most mainstream of these micro-project products, we have started with the actual needs of users in the process of testing, through the appearance of products, operating systems, and online movies. Focused accuracy, color reproduction, brightness test and many other professional and rigorous tests are compared horizontally. Help those small white users to understand the practical application experience of mainstream smart micro projectors.
Before the horizontal comparison begins, let me briefly introduce the 12 intelligent pico projectors selected by this Hengping Review. We mainly divide them into two categories: the first is the ultra-portable model, and these micro-projections can all be portable. Mobile, suitable for those who seek the small size of the choice of friends. They are the 7 models such as Polar M4 Air, BenQ i300, Cool Music X6, Huayi V5, Xiaoming M1, Vivitek QUMI Q6 and Nut P1. Then there are 4 models that are slightly larger than those of the portable models mentioned above, but they are more focused on the effects of home video entertainment. They are the Y1K, Z4X, BenQ i500, and Nut G1. (In no particular order) We will put together different brands at the same level to carry out PK, and see what different experiences they can bring us?
◆◆◆◆ Shape design radish greens love each other

This is an era that emphasizes the value of beauty. Smart micro projectors are no exception. Each micro-investment company also attaches great importance to the design of its own micro-projection products. We can see from the following real-life diagrams. Whether it is the bird's nest of the god of painting Y1 or the veteran Z4X of the disc player, it all exudes a unique aesthetic taste. For the part of the design, the main thing is to look at the user's own preferences. In addition, in the appearance comparison, we also mainly examine the number of 12 intelligent micro-projection interfaces. After all, the more interfaces provided, the more comprehensive, the more convenient we can usually connect other external devices.
The outer shape of the Y1K painting is inspired by the bird's nest. The flowing lines are soft and full of technological sense. The piano paint process is used to highlight the texture. In terms of interfaces, Divine Painting Y1 provides HDMI, VGA, USB, TF card slots, network ports and other ports.
The BenQ i500's exterior design combines simple geometric elements with a harmonious curve. The minimalist white body is embellished with local gold and reveals a strong sense of life. In addition, BenQ i500 is equipped with HDMI, VGA, USB2.0, USB3.0 interface each, and audio input and output ports, microphones and so on.
The nut G1 adopts round magnesium aluminum alloy technology. The surface of the fuselage adopts metal wire drawing design, and the metal texture is very strong. In terms of interfaces, Nut G1 provides the HDMI, USB2.0, USB3.3.0, AV, audio, network ports, etc. that are necessary for our daily entertainment.
Comments: These four micro projectors of the same magnitude are slightly larger than the following micro-projections that can be carried around, mainly for living room cinema applications. The four models have different design styles and ideas. The Y1K with auto-focus and virtual touch technology is more convenient for manipulation. The Z4X with electric focus and 3D gestures can make the experience even more cool. BenQ i500 uses a short-focus design, which requires less space, and can be used as a Bluetooth speaker without turning on the machine. The G1 also has an electric focusing function. The highly personalized design makes people forget it. . The interfaces of these four machines are very rich in Z4X, BenQ i500 and Nut G1. They are basically a group of HDMI or two groups plus two groups of USB and network ports. The total number of Y1K paintings is not above three. The money is rich, but it is also very complete, covering the actual needs of our daily use.

The design of the nuts P1 has always been very unique, P1 is no exception, the projector and speakers perfectly integrated. It's very small and light in the hand. In terms of interface, Nut P1 provides a HDMI, a USB and an AV interface.
Comments: The 8 smart miniature projectors are of the type that can be carried around in a bag, so the design is very small. Among them, the polar meters Z4 AIR, Xiao Ming M1, cool music as the X6 are using a metal body design, feel better. In terms of interfaces, the Z4 AIR and the BenQ i300 and the Xiaoming M1 and the Huayi V5 will undoubtedly occupy an advantage in number. The two sets of USB+ HDMI design are sufficient to meet our daily needs.
◆◆◆◆ Intelligent system resource manipulation is the king
God painting Y1K, polar meters Z4X, BenQ i500, nuts G1
Today's smart mini projectors mostly have built a smart operating system based on the Android platform, mainly integrating the current mainstream movie and TV drama resources and various entertainment variety shows, educational resources and games. UI design is very similar, for our average user choice, mainly depends on the richness of video resources and the ease of use of daily use.
The system interface of Divine Painting Y1K is divided into five parts: homepage, theater, application, input, and setting. It is almost easy to get started with simple and clear. The virtual touch technology independently developed with Divine Painting is very smooth to control. In terms of content sources, users are also provided with fresh movie and TV drama resources through regular updates.
The system UI design of Z4X is also very simple and intuitive. It is divided into four major items: film and television, music, film, music, games and applications. In addition, the company also strategically cooperates with Mango TV, so users can now enjoy 24 months of mango VIP membership services.
The system interface of the BenQ i500 is divided into four parts: recommendation, classification, application, and setting. Movie and TV drama resources are also very rich. BenQ cooperates with well-known content providers in China and regularly updates it so that users can enjoy high quality at any time. Film source.
The nut interface of the Nut G1 is more diverse, including love, recommendation, TV series, movies, variety, animation, channels, applications, settings, etc. Compared to the three models above, it is a bit more complicated. For control, the remote control of the Nut G1 uses a rocker-style design that is more agile than traditional physical buttons.
Comments: If the evaluation of these four smart micro-projection intelligent system, from the handling experience, the gods painted Y1K virtual touch technology will undoubtedly make the best experience, and other similar products still traditional remote control operation, it A virtual technology that uses a wireless touch stylus to operate a projected picture, which enables precise positioning through absolute coordinates, and truly where to think. In the UI design aspects, the Y1K, Z4X, and BenQ i500 all maintain a concise style that reduces the user's difficulty in use.
◆◆◆◆ Intelligent System 2 Resource Control Horizontal PK

After finishing the previous four products, let's look at the smart micro-projections of these 8 main mobile portable experiences. Apart from the fact that the Vivitek QUMI Q6 does not have an intelligent system, the remaining seven models have a built-in operational intelligence system based on the Android platform. Here we take a look at the effect of the actual experience.
The Z1 has adopted the same intelligent system as the Y1K. Similar to the Z4 AIR, BenQ i300, Nut P1 and other models, the advantage is that it is self-contained and achieves unity of content resources. In addition, it is also easy for the user to experience and it is easier to get started. The divine painting Z1 is also equipped with the same virtual touch and autofocus technology as the divinely drawn Y1K, but it still maintains an outstanding level of control experience.
The Z4 AIR system UI is the same as that of the previous Z4X, so if you have experienced the Mimi intelligent micro-projection users will feel very familiar with, the classification is still simple and clear, easy for users to get started.
The BenQ i300 also uses a unified smart system developed by its own company. Through cooperation with well-known content providers in China, it also regularly updates content to provide users with genuine and high-quality video resources.
Cool music as the X6's system interface is divided into wonderful recommendations, online video, game center, application store, and other five parts, UI design is very simple, allowing users to use at a glance. The place where the X6 is worth improving is the design of the remote control. It needs to be controlled at the rear of the machine, and the experience is slightly inconvenient. In addition, cool music as the X6 can also be controlled by mobile phone remote control.
Huayi V5 system interface is divided into recommendations, video, applications, games, local, settings and other six parts, UI design flagship line, the source of the film brings together the current popular film and television information, and the actual viewing effect is also very clear and smooth.
The system interface of the Xiaoming M1 is mainly divided into five parts: film and television, shopping, education, games, and applications. It is relatively simple to classify users' actual use.
The Nut P1 uses the same UI design on the G1. The main category is designed at the bottom of the interface. I feel a bit tedious in my own experience, but mainly depends on the user's personal preferences.
Comments: In fact, for these systems built-in micro-projector, UI design is very similar, most of them use very simple and intuitive design methods, and strive to make users look more comfortable. Therefore, when it comes to choices, it mainly depends on personal preferences. In addition, in terms of content, most brands, such as Divine Painting, BenQ, and Miji, will cooperate with domestic content providers to provide users with genuine and high-quality content.
◆◆◆◆ It is really good that the quality of online movie viewing is good

For smart pico projectors, no matter how fancy the design is, how compact and portable it is, if the picture quality is not good enough, it cannot be called an excellent smart micro projector. Here we compare the picture performance of these 12 miniature projectors with a fixed movie real shot chart.
From the above four machine real shots, God paintings Y1K and BenQ i500 are the closest to the test sample in terms of the overall color of the picture. The screen colors of the Z4X and the Nut G1 are generally warmer and the color temperature is lower than the test sample. In addition, the clarity and smoothness of the four products are basically at the same level and they are all clear and smooth.
God draws Z1, polar meters Z4 Air, BenQ i300, Cool Lexus X6, Huayi V5, Xiaoming M1, Vivitek QUMI Q6, nuts P1
Among these eight products, we can clearly see that the overall color reproduction of BenQ i300 and Vivitek QUMI Q6 is closest to the original test sample. Among them, the screen brightness of the Xiaoming M1 is obviously higher than that of the original image, which is directly related to the use of the laser ALPD light source. In addition, the picture of Divine Painting Z1 appears blurred, while the picture of Nut P1 and Cool Music X6 is not bright as a whole. This is also proportional to the brightness of our actual test. (The nut P1 measured 174 lumens, and the Cool Lexus X6 measured peak brightness of 197 lumens). In addition, in the process of playing video, Cool Lexus X6 is a new factory product, the phenomenon of crashes, Caton, the control experience is not very smooth.
◆◆◆◆ Which color do you like?
God painting Y1K, polar meters Z4X, BenQ i500, nuts G1
Color testing mainly through the contrast between the test sample and the color real shot chart to observe whether the projector color cast phenomenon, color reproduction is accurate and so on. In fact, for the average user, there are not many requirements for the color, as long as you look comfortable and you like it. So today, we look at the color reproduction capabilities of these 12 machines through comparisons between real shots and proofs.

Focus test mainly through the fixed PPT test document to examine the focus of the projector, for the smart micro projector, the focus system is very critical, because the micro projector for portability considerations, so the general design is very small. However, on the other hand, it directly affects the internal light path structure and the heat dissipation effect, resulting in the phenomenon of “thermal defocusingâ€. Let's take a look at the performance of these 12 intelligent miniature projectors in the focus test process.
God draws Z1, polar meters Z4 Air, BenQ i300, Cool Lexus X6, Huayi V5, Xiaoming M1, Vivitek QUMI Q6, nuts P1
Cool music as the X6 uses electric focus, focus button on the remote control to adjust the focus, but the actual experience of the process still appears some problems. The first is that the remote control needs to be used at the back of the machine and at a relatively close distance, so the experience is not very convenient. The BenQ i300 uses the traditional manual knob focusing method, from the real shot, the focus of the two are very clear.
Xiao Bian has something to say: In fact, whether it is auto focus or manual focus and electric focus, the most critical point is to ensure the final clarity of the picture. From the convenience of the experience, of course, the auto focus is the most worry-free, and manual focus and electric focus actually require the user to judge, so the actual experience is almost the same. Judging from the actual PPT documents we shot, these 8 products have a fuzzy picture in addition to the divine picture Z1. The pictures of the other products are relatively clear. The numbers in the center of the PPT file and the letters in the corners are compared. clear.
Brightness measurement data speak
The projector's data testing mainly examines the following aspects: maximum brightness, peak brightness, optimized brightness, and contrast color of the projector. Below, the author first explained several more difficult to understand the technical terminology: First is the peak brightness, especially in the brightest mode, the highest brightness that a single point can reach, generally appear in the center; maximum brightness, refers to the brightest In the mode, the average brightness of the picture can be reached, and the value of the reference value is higher. The optimized brightness, also known as ANSI brightness, is the average brightness of the 13 test points in the case that the projector can just distinguish eight gray scales. Brightness = average illuminance × area.
Data Analysis: From the above four intelligent micro-investment test data with brightness of 500 lumens and the comparison, the difference between the peak brightness and the nominal value of the four machines is 100 lumens or even higher. As described before the test, the peak brightness is the maximum brightness that can be reached at a certain point on the screen, generally near the center point, for reference only. The maximum brightness is the projector brightness and contrast in the maximum case, the screen measured at 9 points to achieve the average brightness. ANSI brightness is the average brightness of 9 test points actually measured when the picture is optimized to exactly distinguish eight color blocks. Because we watch movies and TV shows through the projector everyday, we examine the overall performance of the screen, which truly affects the maximum brightness of the screen and the ANSI brightness. From the chart, the maximum brightness and ANSI brightness of these four machines are all over 300 lumens. Among them, the maximum brightness and ANSI brightness of Z4X have reached 409 lumens. According to our laboratory evaluation experience, the 100-inch screen is projected in the light. In a dark living room or bedroom, a maximum brightness of 400 lumens or more is a clear and comfortable viewing experience. Of course, this type of product can also perform well for small-sized conference room business applications with less than 10 persons or less than 10 square meters.
From the comparison of actual test data and nominal values, the peak brightness of Z4X, BenQ i500, and Y1K are all around 400 lumens. Compared with the nominal brightness value, BenQ i500's peak brightness differs from the nominal value. The minimum is 91 lumens; the peak brightness of the nut G1 differs by a nominal 116 lumens; the peak brightness of the Z4X meter differs from the nominal value by about 159 lumens; the peak brightness of the Y1K painting differs from the nominal value by 213 lumens. Since the machines we selected in this Hengping evaluation are the latest major products of the current major brands and can represent the prevailing brightness performance of the current smart micro-investment market, from the results, smart microbender claims that the brightness can basically reach about 80% of the peak brightness, and There is a big gap between the maximum brightness of the performance picture balance. In this regard, the brightness of the traditional projector specification is worth micro-investment brand learning, usually in the traditional light bulb projector, the nominal brightness is basically based on the maximum brightness, can reach the maximum brightness of 80% or more, or even infinitely close to or exceed The maximum brightness. After all, the closer the nominal brightness is to the actual brightness, the better we can make reasonable judgments and choices based on our own use environment.
Data Analysis: Among the eight ultra-portable smart micro projectors in the above figure, the peak brightness of two machines is very eye-catching: the Xiaoming M1 and the Vivitek QUMI Q6, with a peak brightness of 624 lumens and 497 lumens respectively. Among the 12 machines, they rank in the top two. Among them, Xiaoming M1 due to the use of laser ALPD light source, so the brightness performance is very good. In addition, the remaining six machines have a peak brightness of nearly 300 lumens, such as the BenQ i300 and Huayi V5; others are generally around 200 lumens, like the Z4 AIR, the Cool X6, and the Nut P1. Pay attention to mobile portability, and it is not superior to other machines in measuring peak brightness.
Let's take a look at the maximum brightness and ANSI brightness. The Xiaoming M1 and Vivitek QUMI Q6 still lead, while the maximum brightness and ANSI brightness of BenQ i300, Huayi V5 can also be maintained at 250 lumens or more. For our evaluation experience, in the relatively low price of 300 lumens portable micro-projection, the maximum brightness can reach 300 lumens and above, ANSI brightness of 250 lumens or more machines, projection 100-inch screen, to meet our usual home off Entertainment applications in light situations.
Data Analysis: Regarding brightness uniformity and color uniformity, the light emitted by the projector is scattered, so the center of the screen is bright and the surroundings are slightly dark. In order to reduce this phenomenon, a special design is used inside the projector, but it is almost impossible to completely eliminate it. Therefore, we need to test the uniformity of the projector.
In general, the projector center non-uniformity score is less than 1.5, which is acceptable. When it is less than 1.2, the human eye is almost imperceptible. For color unevenness, color deviations that reflect the actual image are acceptable as long as the deviation is in the range of 0.001-0.010. The center non-uniformity scores of these 12 smart mini projectors are all within 1.5, and the majority of color unevenness scores are within 0.01.
From the above chart, we can see very intuitively that the brightness homogeneity scores of the four 500 lumens micro-injection products are in the order of excellent meters Z4X, divine painting Y1, BenQ i500, and nut G1. The color homogeneity scores are in the order of excellent: nut G1, divine painting Y1, polar meter Z4X, and BenQ i500. The color unevenness scores of these four machines are all controlled within 0.01, so the color deviation of the actual screen is within the normal range.
From the above chart, we can see that the center score of the brightness non-uniformity of the eight mobile portability smart microprojections is basically within 1.2, that is, they are all in the normal range. The brightness unevenness corners are divinely drawn by the Z1. Performance deviates more from normal. The color unevenness score, in addition to the nuts P1 deviate from the normal value, the rest are also normal.
Data Analysis: In the contrast table, there are two sets of data, namely ANSI contrast and FOFO contrast. So what does the two sets of data mean? In simple terms, the contrast ratio is the ratio of white to black. The larger the ratio is, the more gradient levels from white to black will be, and the richer the color performance will be.
For the projector's contrast, there are two test methods, one is the ANSI test method, using 16 black and white color blocks, the ratio between the average value of the 8 white areas and the average brightness of the 8 black areas is ANSI contrast. The other is the white/black contrast test of the picture, which is the ratio of the brightness of the full white screen to the full black screen (FOFO contrast) of the test projector. Because the projector is a reflective display, it is easily affected by the light reflected from the surrounding bright areas, scattered or refracted, especially the black screen is affected greatly, often can not get pure black, so it is easy to make the contrast as white as black The method of testing is high, but the ANSI contrast value more reflects the effect of the actual viewing of the picture.
From the 12 smart micro-contrast contrast data table, there are 5 micro-projection FOFO contrast ratios are around 800:1, respectively, pole meters Z4X, BenQ i300, BenQ i500, nuts G1, nuts P1. The FOFO contrast ratio of the two models is about 700:1. They are the Y1K and Vivitek QUMI Q6. In addition, there are three models of FOFO contrast ratio is about 500:1, respectively, the gods painting Z1, cool music as X6, polar meters Z4 AIR. Xiaoming M1's FOFO contrast reached 2442:1. Let's take a look at the ANSI contrast test data. The ANSI contrasts of Xiaoming M1 and Zhimi Z4X are relatively high. Huayi V5, Cool Music X6, and BenQ i300 are also about 200:1. The remaining machines have ANSI contrast ratios around 100:1.
Most of the time, we mostly experience the contrast through the contrast of a picture with a multi-color area. Therefore, the contrast obtained by testing 16 points using the ANSI standard is closer to the actual experience of applications such as PPT presentations. However, if there are some very dark or bright images appearing in the game or playing video, the FOFO contrast level will affect the viewing experience.
Data Analysis: This color saturation comparison chart we can very intuitively see this writing machine in the color saturation data statistics, usually the LED light source projector saturation is more than 80% normal. From the results, there are five machines with measured values ​​below 80%, namely BenQ i500, Nut G1, Vivitek QUMI Q6, Xiaoming M1, and Divine Painting Z1. Color saturation in more than 80% of the machine has 7 products, namely the polar meter Z4 AIR, cool music as the X6, God painting Y1, nuts P1, Huayi V5, polar meters Z4X, BenQ i300. From the data point of view, these machines have higher color saturation and more intense colors.
Hengjuan Xiaobian has something to say
Write here, this year's 12 smart micro-projection year-end cross-appreciation has also come to an end, we from the design, intelligent systems, online viewing, color contrast, focus testing, data testing and other perspectives for this 12 The mainstream smart micro projectors are horizontally contrasted. After reading them, I believe you have a simple understanding and understanding of these 12 intelligent pico projectors.
In this Hengping review, we actually divided the 12 miniature projectors into two groups for comparative testing, among which Y1, Z4X, BenQ i500 and Nut G1 are suitable for home use. The god of painting Y1 has advantages in maneuvering with auto focus and virtual touch technology. It is really easy to experience whether watching a movie at home or playing games. Zimi X4X is equipped with the appearance of a disc player and a wealth of resources, ideal for young artists. The BenQ i500 uses short-focus technology, which does not require much space. If your home has limited space, the BenQ i500 is definitely a good choice. The round appearance design of the nut G1 machine tool and the electric focus technology are very easy to use in practical experience.
For those who are pursuing mobile portability, they recommend the second group of models, such as the BenQ i300, Xiaoming M1, Vivitek QUMI Q6, Huayi V5, and Z4 AIR, all of which are compared in this Hengping evaluation. Excellent model. The Xiaoming M1 uses a laser ALPD light source, which occupies an advantage in brightness, and the metal's body feel is also very good. Although Vivitek QUMI Q6 has no built-in smart system compared to other micro-projections, the picture performance is very fine and outstanding. The measured peak brightness ranks second among all the machines, which can provide users with a bright picture for daily use. The only downside is that the remote control needs to be used not far from the machine, which is inconvenient during the actual experience.
Extreme Z4 AIR uses a pure metal body design, not only visually more beautiful, but also very good to use. The BenQ i300 has an advantage in terms of focusing and content sources. With the strength of the big makers, the BenQ i300 uses a pure glass lens design and a new wind path to ensure the stable operation of the machine for a long time. Cool music as the X6 also uses a metal shell, the new UI system interface is refreshing, but in the process of experience, because the remote control also needs to use the receiver at the back of the machine, so some inconvenience. Huayi V5 uses a piano paint material, the body design is small and exquisite, easy to carry, the measured peak brightness of 270 lumens can also provide users with a good picture quality output, suitable for those who pursue quality and portable friend choice.
Written in front of the words: After half a month in 2015 Hengping intelligent micro-projector was finally on the line, this time we ZOL projector channel selected the most mainstream market, but also the highest degree of attention 12 smart mini The projector performs a horizontal comparison evaluation. The major test items of the Hengping review included: appearance, system, viewing, color, focusing, data, and other aspects. Based on the principle of fairness and fairness, we conducted repeated testing on each machine, and we will actually test The data is completely open. The main purpose of this Hengping review is to help the majority of netizens and friends understand the mainstream smart micro-projection products on the market. Through our rigorous and professional tests, you can find the one that is suitable for you.
When it comes to smart micro projectors, many of my friends and colleagues around the world have been consulting with me so that I can recommend them a fun, easy-to-use micro projector. So what kind of product can we call a fun, easy-to-use smart mini projector? For those who do not understand the projector, how to choose the right micro-projection among the many brand categories?
In addition to selecting the most mainstream of these micro-project products, we have started with the actual needs of users in the process of testing, through the appearance of products, operating systems, and online movies. Focused accuracy, color reproduction, brightness test and many other professional and rigorous tests are compared horizontally. Help those small white users to understand the practical application experience of mainstream smart micro projectors.

Before the horizontal comparison begins, let me briefly introduce the 12 intelligent pico projectors selected by this Hengping Review. We mainly divide them into two categories: the first is the ultra-portable model, and these micro-projections can all be portable. Mobile, suitable for those who seek the small size of the choice of friends. They are the 7 models such as Polar M4 Air, BenQ i300, Cool Music X6, Huayi V5, Xiaoming M1, Vivitek QUMI Q6 and Nut P1. Then there are 4 models that are slightly larger than those of the portable models mentioned above, but they are more focused on the effects of home video entertainment. They are the Y1K, Z4X, BenQ i500, and Nut G1. (In no particular order) We will put together different brands at the same level to carry out PK, and see what different experiences they can bring us?
◆◆◆◆ Shape design radish greens love each other

This is an era that emphasizes the value of beauty. Smart micro projectors are no exception. Each micro-investment company also attaches great importance to the design of its own micro-projection products. We can see from the following real-life diagrams. Whether it is the bird's nest of the god of painting Y1 or the veteran Z4X of the disc player, it all exudes a unique aesthetic taste. For the part of the design, the main thing is to look at the user's own preferences. In addition, in the appearance comparison, we also mainly examine the number of 12 intelligent micro-projection interfaces. After all, the more interfaces provided, the more comprehensive, the more convenient we can usually connect other external devices.
The picture shows the god painting Y1K
The outer shape of the Y1K painting is inspired by the bird's nest. The flowing lines are soft and full of technological sense. The piano paint process is used to highlight the texture. In terms of interfaces, Divine Painting Y1 provides HDMI, VGA, USB, TF card slots, network ports and other ports.
The picture shows the pole meter Z4X
The Z4X is designed with a vintage vinyl phonograph. At first glance, this is definitely a smart mini projector. In terms of interfaces, the Z4X provides two sets of HDMI, USB3.0, USB2.0. , AV, 3.5mm headphone jack, network port, including a relatively complete interface.

◆◆◆◆ It is really good that the quality of online movie viewing is good
God painting Y1K, polar meters Z4X, BenQ i500, nuts G1
For smart pico projectors, no matter how fancy the design is, how compact and portable it is, if the picture quality is not good enough, it cannot be called an excellent smart micro projector. Here we compare the picture performance of these 12 miniature projectors with a fixed movie real shot chart.
Test sample

On the left is BenQ i500, right side is nut G1
From the above four machine real shots, God paintings Y1K and BenQ i500 are the closest to the test sample in terms of the overall color of the picture. The screen colors of the Z4X and the Nut G1 are generally warmer and the color temperature is lower than the test sample. In addition, the clarity and smoothness of the four products are basically at the same level and they are all clear and smooth.

On the left is Huayi V5. The right side is Xiaoming M1.
Left-hand side is Vivitek QUMI Q6 with nut P1 on the right
Among these eight products, we can clearly see that the overall color reproduction of BenQ i300 and Vivitek QUMI Q6 is closest to the original test sample. Among them, the screen brightness of the Xiaoming M1 is obviously higher than that of the original image, which is directly related to the use of the laser ALPD light source. In addition, the picture of Divine Painting Z1 appears blurred, while the picture of Nut P1 and Cool Music X6 is not bright as a whole. This is also proportional to the brightness of our actual test. (The nut P1 measured 174 lumens, and the Cool Lexus X6 measured peak brightness of 197 lumens). In addition, in the process of playing video, Cool Lexus X6 is a new factory product, the phenomenon of crashes, Caton, the control experience is not very smooth.
◆◆◆◆ Which color do you like?
God painting Y1K, polar meters Z4X, BenQ i500, nuts G1
Color testing mainly through the contrast between the test sample and the color real shot chart to observe whether the projector color cast phenomenon, color reproduction is accurate and so on. In fact, for the average user, there are not many requirements for the color, as long as you look comfortable and you like it. So today, we look at the color reproduction capabilities of these 12 machines through comparisons between real shots and proofs.

Among the above 8 products, the color reproduction of the BenQ i300 and Vivitek QUMI Q6 is closer to the original than to the other 6 products. The color picture of the Z1 has been blurred and the Huaiyi V5 has some color images. Rough display of grainy, which has a certain relationship with the HDMI interface optimization. The polar colors of Z4 AIR, Coolo X6, Xiaoming M1 and Nut P1 are colder. The color temperature value is higher than the original figure, and the brightness of the color is not high.
◆◆◆◆ Focus on who is the clearest
God painting Y1K, polar meters Z4X, BenQ i500, nuts G1
Focus test mainly through the fixed PPT test document to examine the focus of the projector, for the smart micro projector, the focus system is very critical, because the micro projector for portability considerations, so the general design is very small. However, on the other hand, it directly affects the internal light path structure and the heat dissipation effect, resulting in the phenomenon of “thermal defocusingâ€. Let's take a look at the performance of these 12 intelligent miniature projectors in the focus test process.
The left side is the god Y1K. The right side is the polar meter Z4X.
On the left is BenQ i500, right side is nut G1
Among these four products, the Shenyue Y1K adopts autofocus technology, which eliminates the need for users to manually determine the projection distance by manually focusing the projector so as to present a clear picture, which is very convenient and convenient. In addition, both the Z4X and the Nut G1 are powered by electric focusing technology. Focus can be adjusted through the physical buttons on the remote control or the rotary knob. The BenQ i500 adopts the traditional manual focusing method. The user can rotate the knob on the side of the camera to achieve a clear picture. However, from the actual shooting of these several PPT, the focus of the four machines are relatively good, whether it is the center of the screen or the surrounding corners of the position did not appear blurred.
God draws Z1, polar meters Z4 Air, BenQ i300, Cool Lexus X6, Huayi V5, Xiaoming M1, Vivitek QUMI Q6, nuts P1
On the left is the god Z1. The right side is Z4 Air.
The divine painting Z1 uses the same autofocus method as the Y1, but the actual effect of this machine tested is not very ideal and there is a blurring phenomenon. Polar meters Z4 AIR uses a traditional manual knob, focusing effect is more clear.
On the left is BenQ i300 on the right is Cool Music X6
Cool music as the X6 uses electric focus, focus button on the remote control to adjust the focus, but the actual experience of the process still appears some problems. The first is that the remote control needs to be used at the back of the machine and at a relatively close distance, so the experience is not very convenient. The BenQ i300 uses the traditional manual knob focusing method, from the real shot, the focus of the two are very clear.
On the left is Huayi V5. The right side is Xiaoming M1.
The Xiaoming M1 also uses an electric focusing method. The sharpness of the screen is adjusted by the focus button on the remote control, and the Huayi V5 is adjusted by a manual knob. From the actual picture, the brightness of the picture is brighter due to the use of a laser ALPD light source.
The right side of the nut P1 is Vivitek QUMI Q6
Both the Nut P1 and the Vivitek QUMI Q6 have adopted a manual focusing method, and the PPT real-time document is also very clear, with no ambiguity. The Vivitek QUMI Q6 looks brighter due to its higher brightness.
Xiao Bian has something to say: In fact, whether it is auto focus or manual focus and electric focus, the most critical point is to ensure the final clarity of the picture. From the convenience of the experience, of course, the auto focus is the most worry-free, and manual focus and electric focus actually require the user to judge, so the actual experience is almost the same. Judging from the actual PPT documents we shot, these 8 products have a fuzzy picture in addition to the divine picture Z1. The pictures of the other products are relatively clear. The numbers in the center of the PPT file and the letters in the corners are compared. clear.
Brightness measurement data speak
The projector's data testing mainly examines the following aspects: maximum brightness, peak brightness, optimized brightness, and contrast color of the projector. Below, the author first explained several more difficult to understand the technical terminology: First is the peak brightness, especially in the brightest mode, the highest brightness that a single point can reach, generally appear in the center; maximum brightness, refers to the brightest In the mode, the average brightness of the picture can be reached, and the value of the reference value is higher. The optimized brightness, also known as ANSI brightness, is the average brightness of the 13 test points in the case that the projector can just distinguish eight gray scales. Brightness = average illuminance × area.
Eight gray levels and 13 illumination test points
4 intelligent micro-projection brightness test results
Data Analysis: From the above four intelligent micro-investment test data with brightness of 500 lumens and the comparison, the difference between the peak brightness and the nominal value of the four machines is 100 lumens or even higher. As described before the test, the peak brightness is the maximum brightness that can be reached at a certain point on the screen, generally near the center point, for reference only. The maximum brightness is the projector brightness and contrast in the maximum case, the screen measured at 9 points to achieve the average brightness. ANSI brightness is the average brightness of 9 test points actually measured when the picture is optimized to exactly distinguish eight color blocks. Because we watch movies and TV shows through the projector everyday, we examine the overall performance of the screen, which truly affects the maximum brightness of the screen and the ANSI brightness. From the chart, the maximum brightness and ANSI brightness of these four machines are all over 300 lumens. Among them, the maximum brightness and ANSI brightness of Z4X have reached 409 lumens. According to our laboratory evaluation experience, the 100-inch screen is projected in the light. In a dark living room or bedroom, a maximum brightness of 400 lumens or more is a clear and comfortable viewing experience. Of course, this type of product can also perform well for small-sized conference room business applications with less than 10 persons or less than 10 square meters.
From the comparison of actual test data and nominal values, the peak brightness of Z4X, BenQ i500, and Y1K are all around 400 lumens. Compared with the nominal brightness value, BenQ i500's peak brightness differs from the nominal value. The minimum is 91 lumens; the peak brightness of the nut G1 differs by a nominal 116 lumens; the peak brightness of the Z4X meter differs from the nominal value by about 159 lumens; the peak brightness of the Y1K painting differs from the nominal value by 213 lumens. Since the machines we selected in this Hengping evaluation are the latest major products of the current major brands and can represent the prevailing brightness performance of the current smart micro-investment market, from the results, smart microbender claims that the brightness can basically reach about 80% of the peak brightness, and There is a big gap between the maximum brightness of the performance picture balance. In this regard, the brightness of the traditional projector specification is worth micro-investment brand learning, usually in the traditional light bulb projector, the nominal brightness is basically based on the maximum brightness, can reach the maximum brightness of 80% or more, or even infinitely close to or exceed The maximum brightness. After all, the closer the nominal brightness is to the actual brightness, the better we can make reasonable judgments and choices based on our own use environment.
8 intelligent micro-projection brightness measurement data
Data Analysis: Among the eight ultra-portable smart micro projectors in the above figure, the peak brightness of two machines is very eye-catching: the Xiaoming M1 and the Vivitek QUMI Q6, with a peak brightness of 624 lumens and 497 lumens respectively. Among the 12 machines, they rank in the top two. Among them, Xiaoming M1 due to the use of laser ALPD light source, so the brightness performance is very good. In addition, the remaining six machines have a peak brightness of nearly 300 lumens, such as the BenQ i300 and Huayi V5; others are generally around 200 lumens, like the Z4 AIR, the Cool X6, and the Nut P1. Pay attention to mobile portability, and it is not superior to other machines in measuring peak brightness.
Let's take a look at the maximum brightness and ANSI brightness. The Xiaoming M1 and Vivitek QUMI Q6 still lead, while the maximum brightness and ANSI brightness of BenQ i300, Huayi V5 can also be maintained at 250 lumens or more. For our evaluation experience, in the relatively low price of 300 lumens portable micro-projection, the maximum brightness can reach 300 lumens and above, ANSI brightness of 250 lumens or more machines, projection 100-inch screen, to meet our usual home off Entertainment applications in light situations.
4 smart micro projectors brightness and color uniformity
Data Analysis: Regarding brightness uniformity and color uniformity, the light emitted by the projector is scattered, so the center of the screen is bright and the surroundings are slightly dark. In order to reduce this phenomenon, a special design is used inside the projector, but it is almost impossible to completely eliminate it. Therefore, we need to test the uniformity of the projector.
In general, the projector center non-uniformity score is less than 1.5, which is acceptable. When it is less than 1.2, the human eye is almost imperceptible. For color unevenness, color deviations that reflect the actual image are acceptable as long as the deviation is in the range of 0.001-0.010. The center non-uniformity scores of these 12 smart mini projectors are all within 1.5, and the majority of color unevenness scores are within 0.01.
From the above chart, we can see very intuitively that the brightness homogeneity scores of the four 500 lumens micro-injection products are in the order of excellent meters Z4X, divine painting Y1, BenQ i500, and nut G1. The color homogeneity scores are in the order of excellent: nut G1, divine painting Y1, polar meter Z4X, and BenQ i500. The color unevenness scores of these four machines are all controlled within 0.01, so the color deviation of the actual screen is within the normal range.
8 Micro Projection Brightness and Color Uniformity
From the above chart, we can see that the center score of the brightness non-uniformity of the eight mobile portability smart microprojections is basically within 1.2, that is, they are all in the normal range. The brightness unevenness corners are divinely drawn by the Z1. Performance deviates more from normal. The color unevenness score, in addition to the nuts P1 deviate from the normal value, the rest are also normal.
12 intelligent micro-contrast contrast test data
Data Analysis: In the contrast table, there are two sets of data, namely ANSI contrast and FOFO contrast. So what does the two sets of data mean? In simple terms, the contrast ratio is the ratio of white to black. The larger the ratio is, the more gradient levels from white to black will be, and the richer the color performance will be.
For the projector's contrast, there are two test methods, one is the ANSI test method, using 16 black and white color blocks, the ratio between the average value of the 8 white areas and the average brightness of the 8 black areas is ANSI contrast. The other is the white/black contrast test of the picture, which is the ratio of the brightness of the full white screen to the full black screen (FOFO contrast) of the test projector. Because the projector is a reflective display, it is easily affected by the light reflected from the surrounding bright areas, scattered or refracted, especially the black screen is affected greatly, often can not get pure black, so it is easy to make the contrast as white as black The method of testing is high, but the ANSI contrast value more reflects the effect of the actual viewing of the picture.
On the left is the ANSI contrast test sample. The right side is the FOFO contrast test sample.
From the 12 smart micro-contrast contrast data table, there are 5 micro-projection FOFO contrast ratios are around 800:1, respectively, pole meters Z4X, BenQ i300, BenQ i500, nuts G1, nuts P1. The FOFO contrast ratio of the two models is about 700:1. They are the Y1K and Vivitek QUMI Q6. In addition, there are three models of FOFO contrast ratio is about 500:1, respectively, the gods painting Z1, cool music as X6, polar meters Z4 AIR. Xiaoming M1's FOFO contrast reached 2442:1. Let's take a look at the ANSI contrast test data. The ANSI contrasts of Xiaoming M1 and Zhimi Z4X are relatively high. Huayi V5, Cool Music X6, and BenQ i300 are also about 200:1. The remaining machines have ANSI contrast ratios around 100:1.
Most of the time, we mostly experience the contrast through the contrast of a picture with a multi-color area. Therefore, the contrast obtained by testing 16 points using the ANSI standard is closer to the actual experience of applications such as PPT presentations. However, if there are some very dark or bright images appearing in the game or playing video, the FOFO contrast level will affect the viewing experience.
12 micro-projection color saturation
Data Analysis: This color saturation comparison chart we can very intuitively see this writing machine in the color saturation data statistics, usually the LED light source projector saturation is more than 80% normal. From the results, there are five machines with measured values ​​below 80%, namely BenQ i500, Nut G1, Vivitek QUMI Q6, Xiaoming M1, and Divine Painting Z1. Color saturation in more than 80% of the machine has 7 products, namely the polar meter Z4 AIR, cool music as the X6, God painting Y1, nuts P1, Huayi V5, polar meters Z4X, BenQ i300. From the data point of view, these machines have higher color saturation and more intense colors.
Hengjuan Xiaobian has something to say
Write here, this year's 12 smart micro-projection year-end cross-appreciation has also come to an end, we from the design, intelligent systems, online viewing, color contrast, focus testing, data testing and other perspectives for this 12 The mainstream smart micro projectors are horizontally contrasted. After reading them, I believe you have a simple understanding and understanding of these 12 intelligent pico projectors.
In this Hengping review, we actually divided the 12 miniature projectors into two groups for comparative testing, among which Y1, Z4X, BenQ i500 and Nut G1 are suitable for home use. The god of painting Y1 has advantages in maneuvering with auto focus and virtual touch technology. It is really easy to experience whether watching a movie at home or playing games. Zimi X4X is equipped with the appearance of a disc player and a wealth of resources, ideal for young artists. The BenQ i500 uses short-focus technology, which does not require much space. If your home has limited space, the BenQ i500 is definitely a good choice. The round appearance design of the nut G1 machine tool and the electric focus technology are very easy to use in practical experience.
For those who are pursuing mobile portability, they recommend the second group of models, such as the BenQ i300, Xiaoming M1, Vivitek QUMI Q6, Huayi V5, and Z4 AIR, all of which are compared in this Hengping evaluation. Excellent model. The Xiaoming M1 uses a laser ALPD light source, which occupies an advantage in brightness, and the metal's body feel is also very good. Although Vivitek QUMI Q6 has no built-in smart system compared to other micro-projections, the picture performance is very fine and outstanding. The measured peak brightness ranks second among all the machines, which can provide users with a bright picture for daily use. The only downside is that the remote control needs to be used not far from the machine, which is inconvenient during the actual experience.
Extreme Z4 AIR uses a pure metal body design, not only visually more beautiful, but also very good to use. The BenQ i300 has an advantage in terms of focusing and content sources. With the strength of the big makers, the BenQ i300 uses a pure glass lens design and a new wind path to ensure the stable operation of the machine for a long time. Cool music as the X6 also uses a metal shell, the new UI system interface is refreshing, but in the process of experience, because the remote control also needs to use the receiver at the back of the machine, so some inconvenience. Huayi V5 uses a piano paint material, the body design is small and exquisite, easy to carry, the measured peak brightness of 270 lumens can also provide users with a good picture quality output, suitable for those who pursue quality and portable friend choice.
