The pinnacle of single chip LCD? 900ANSI True Brightness! Advanced Selection Wanbo M1Pro Evaluation

The competition in the current projection market is very fierce. A while ago, there was a clamor between mixed light projection and tricolor laser projection in the high-end market

The competition in the current projection market is very fierce. A while ago, there was a clamor between mixed light projection and tricolor laser projection in the high-end market. Now, the entry-level market for single product LCD projection is experiencing a big explosion like mushrooms after rain. Each company has developed from the previous roll brightness to the roll function roll experience. Recently, I received the single LCD master level Wanbo new product M1Pro, which has changed my view of low brightness, edge distortion, and dimming in single LCD projection, The overall performance can be said to be the pinnacle of a single chip LCD product, which can catch up with and surpass the DLP projection at a price of 3000 yuan. Below, we will share the user experience of this projection product that costs less than 2000 yuan~

The Wanbo M1Pro uses the classic black and white panda color scheme, with a splicing grid at the front and bottom of the body. This position is the heat dissipation vent, and there is a camera in the center. Many inexpensive single chip LCD projectors use non enclosed light machines, and after using them for a period of time, it will be found that the inside of the lens will fall gray, which obviously greatly affects the viewing effect. The Wanbo M1Pro uses the PixelPro5.0 innovative fully enclosed light machine, which supports IP5X level dust prevention and can effectively prevent dust from entering. The projection screen has no black spots, and the service life is up to 30000 hours.

At the top, the Wanbo M1Pro has a golden power button that lights up the "Wanbo" logo when powered on.

The left side of the fuselage has a sonic vibration magnetic levitation, which can enhance bass performance.

The back interface includes dual USB, 1 HDMI, and a 3.5mm headphone interface. The upper grille contains dual 8W speakers, and the lower grille serves as a cooling air inlet. From the power input on one side, it can be seen that the Wanbo M1Pro adopts a built-in power adapter design, avoiding the embarrassment of traditional projection power cables dragging a "big brick".

The remote control design of Wanbo M1Pro is similar to that of common TV remote controls, using Bluetooth pairing. There is a manual focus button in the lower left corner, which can be easily operated blindly after being slightly familiar with it.

Placement adjustment

If you need to use projection in a fixed position, the projection ratio is an important factor in choosing the projection. The projection ratio of the Wanbo M1Pro is 1.2:1, which can be easily converted into a projection of a hundred inch screen with a distance of about 2.6m from the wall, a projection of 120 inch screen, a projection of about 3.13m from the wall, a projection of 150 inch screen with a distance of about 3.86m from the wall. Typically, the width of the living room in a home is about 3.6m, and the width of a smaller bedroom is 3m, The screen size that can be obtained using Wanbo M1Pro is still relatively large.

In terms of focusing and body shape correction, the Wanbo M1Pro supports automatic focusing, automatic trapezoidal correction (which can be automatically detected when moving), intelligent obstacle avoidance, and automatic screen entry. These functions are only available in flagship projectors, and some low-priced single chip LCD projectors even use the manual focusing knob on the body, which can easily shake the body to cause inaccurate focusing during operation. After the Wanbo M1Pro detects projection displacement, The time for re focusing and correction is about 5 seconds, which is quite fast.

In a non fixed state, using projection can encounter various environments, and the intelligent obstacle avoidance function is particularly important. The front facing camera of the projection will detect obstacles in the image and automatically correct the image. For example, the edge of the image corrected by tens of thousands of M1Pro is almost attached to balloons, achieving the goal of minimizing image loss as much as possible.

Picture representation

In terms of brightness, the Wanbo M1Pro has reached 900ANSI. It has been tested that even with the curtains half closed during the day and the light strip turned on at night, the image can remain clear and bright. In a completely black environment, the 100 inch image looks very transparent without any feeling of gray, which is more than a little better than other 800ANSI products.

The Wanbo M1Pro uses 5 curved high concentration optical glass lenses, which have high transmittance and more uniform light. There will be no visible blurry distortion at the edges and corners. The 4K TV resolution test image shows that the text and characters indicated by blue arrows can be easily distinguished.

The overall transparency and sharpness of the Wanbo M1Pro graphics can also provide a good visual experience. The high brightness and large size graphics are very tensile, which is much better than small screen phones or monitors. The color performance is also more full compared to similar single chip LCD products.

In terms of image modes, Wanbo M1Pro provides four options: standard, vivid, soft, and user-defined. The personal user mode settings are as above, which appropriately enhance the sharpness and saturation of the image.

In terms of color temperature, Wanbo M1Pro provides options for cold, warm, and standard options. Personally, the cool color has the best layering effect, with slightly reduced brightness for warm colors. The standard mode is relatively balanced, and generally the default selection is standard.

User experience

When it comes to sound, it's worth praising the sound system of Wanbo M1Pro. The dual 8W full frequency speakers have a loud and full sound, which can be heard clearly both indoors and outdoors. Equipped with an external acoustic vibration suspension device, the low frequency diving can reach 65Hz, making watching some fighting scenes very immersive.

For example, I recently saw 'The Grievant Fighter 3' where the protagonist is chasing after the villain headquarters in the latter half. The background concert creates a tense and terrifying atmosphere. The overall vocal tendency of the Wanbo M1Pro is medium to low frequencies, with a full voice and excellent analytical ability. Some footsteps and gasps can be accurately reproduced, and I think it is not inferior to a thousand yuan speaker.

Wanbo M1Pro is equipped with the Mango TV platform, which allows for timely updates of homepage resources. Other platforms such as Youku, iQiyi, Tencent, and Bilibili can also view content directly on their homepage, eliminating the hassle of users repeatedly opening the app. Wanbo M1Pro uses a 2+32G storage configuration, with high system smoothness and fast app response.

Wanbo M1Pro uses the Android 9.0 system, with no ads when booted up. After installing Dangbei Market and Sofa Manager on a USB drive, you can freely download and install third-party apps, which is better than many domestic projectors.

What I am more concerned about when watching projection is the timed shutdown function. Sometimes when I watch a drama and swipe some anchor videos, but don't want to get tired, I turn it off on my own. I schedule it for half an hour, and the projection then takes on the role of a sleep aid. In addition, Wanbo M1Pro also supports intelligent speaker function, and it is also good to connect to your phone to play music during normal times.

It goes without saying that watching videos on current streaming media requires fluency. Here, I use a local area network to watch 4K30GB high bitrate videos. The Wanbo M1Pro can process playback and drag left and right to achieve instant playback without stuttering. Its WiFi 6 connection has fast transmission speed and high stability in the 5G frequency band.

When using projection to view a film, the projection is usually closer to the user's text, and the amount of background noise directly affects the viewing experience. The Wanbo M1Pro's forward and backward through air duct can bring extremely high heat dissipation efficiency and minimal wind noise. In the case of an ambient sound of 32dBA, the measured noise value at a distance of 1m from the projection is 35.5dBA, which is basically insensitive.

If you are a Xiaobai user and want to experience an entry-level projection, high brightness must be a top priority. I think Wanbo M1Pro is a competitive choice in the thousand yuan price range!
