I like to watch movies at home projectors. Although the audio and video effects are not as good as those of a cinema, I just like the feeling of enjoying the moment. I am a relatively senior projector user and have been working hard on many machines along the way. I once thought that the ceiling of watching movies at home was a projector. Unexpectedly, I met a more powerful guy - laser TV .
1. Laser TV
1. What is laser TV
The familiar LCD TV, OLED TV belongs to the third generation of TV display technology. Laser TV combines DLP digital movie projection technology (laser light source) with TV technology to form the fourth generation of TV display technology.
Laser TV is a new type of entertainment audio-visual tool that uses semiconductor pumping solid-state laser working substances to generate continuous lasers of three wavelengths: red, green and blue as the light source of color laser TVs, and controls the scan image of three primary color lasers through TV signals.
2. Advantages of laser TV
and mainstream LED TV , laser TV has relatively obvious advantages in display effect, image quality, eye protection, etc.
First of all, from the perspective of display technology, laser TVs are passive luminescence for reflection imaging, which has better health and eye protection effects than LED TVs. According to , the eye protection effect of this display technology is better than paper reading.
Secondly, the laser has very high spectral purity and color accuracy, high brightness and high contrast, which means it can present a very good picture quality to users, and this color expression ability is beyond the reach of other display technologies at present.
Finally, the laser TV has a larger projection size, lower energy consumption, and is more energy-saving and environmentally friendly.
2. Fengmi full-color laser TV T1 appearance and details display
At the beginning of the article I said, "I recently met a more powerful guy," which is Fengmi full-color laser TV T1. In terms of appearance, Fengmi T1 adopts a minimalist style design and a square shape. The surface of the shell uses color sandblasting technology, which is full of texture. This appearance is completely based on the aesthetics of me, a science and engineering man. When I saw it at first glance, I called it "love, love."
Peak meter T1 body size is 550*349.2*107.5mm, weighing about 9.8kg, and the specifications are larger and heavier than most household projectors, but fortunately, you don’t need to move them frequently.
is the audio speaker network on the front, and you can see the logo of "Sound by Bowers & Wikins" in the middle. The audio of Fengmi T1 comes from the customized design of Baohua Wei Jian, and is matched with Dolby Atmos, which shows the sound effect. I'll keep an eye on the sound quality here. I'll talk to you in detail about the audio and video part.
The body has no complex elements. A step-shaped sunken lens area is above, and there is a switch button next to it. There is a very technological atmosphere above the machine.
on the side is a large-area heat-dissipation style grille and audio air duct outlet.
The back of the body integrates a rich expansion interface, from left to right: power interface, HDMI video port*3 (HDMI3 supports eARC function and supports sound return), USB 2.0*2, audio output port, optical fiber digital audio signal output port, and Ethernet port. This port configuration can fully meet the needs of home movie viewing.
3. Interpretation of display quality
Peak meter full color laser TV T1 uses ALPD RGB+ full color laser display technology. It is a laser display technology that forms display effects through the "blue + red + green" laser + color wheel method. It is also a display technology used in many theater laser projection halls. Compared with ordinary full color laser light sources, the advantages are high brightness, high contrast, and rich and delicate colors.
At the same time, Fengmi T1 uses LPSE speckle inhibition technology to overcome the "spots" problem of traditional RGB three-color laser light sources, allowing laser interference to produce speckle phenomenon, the picture flicker frequency is significantly reduced, the picture quality is softer, and the color transition is smoother, greatly improving visual comfort.
The main parameters that determine the user experience of laser TV include: brightness, projection ratio, contrast, hardware configuration, intelligent functions, etc., which are somewhat similar to projectors. Next, I will explain these key parameters of Fengmi T1 in detail with you.
1. Brightness
Whether it is a projector or a laser TV, brightness is one of the very important indicators, usually expressed by luminous flux.
peak meter T1's brightness real standard is 2800 ANSI lumens .
2. Projection ratio
Projection ratio refers to the ratio of projection distance to the screen width. For example, the projection ratio is 1.2:1, which means that the distance between the light source and the wall can project a 1 meter wide picture. The smaller this ratio, the larger the picture width projected by the same projection distance.
conventional projection product projection ratio is about 1.2:1, and only a distance of more than 2.5 meters can project 100-inch images. The projection ratio of Fengmi full-color laser TV T1 reaches 0.23:1. Place it on a TV cabinet about 20 cm away from the wall to cast a 100-inch image. In this way, we don’t have to worry about the lack of space in the living room.
3. Color gamut standard
Peak meter T1 adopts the BT.2020 color gamut standard. It is the standard with the widest color gamut among the mainstream standards. It has a wider color gamut space than traditional BT.709, has better color levels and color transitions, and can display richer colors. Watching movies and watching TV shows can present more realistic pictures at any time.
4. Contrast
Peak meter T1 has a native contrast ratio of 3000:1. It has passed Dolby Vision certification and supports standard decoding of three major HDR formats: Dolby Vision, HDR10+, and HDR10.
I have used many 4K projectors before, but the clarity is far less than that of the peak T1 with 4K resolution, especially when connected to my Macmini, the layering of the picture and the delicate color are visible to the naked eye.
5. Hardware configuration
hardware, it adopts MediaTek MT9669 processor, 4-core Cortex-A73 CPU architecture and Mali-G52 MC1 GPU, supports 4K resolution video decoding, 4K@120Hz refresh rate output, and 120Hz MEMC motion compensation function, and AI intelligence is also very powerful.
MT9669 is a popular flagship projection chip at present. The high-end projection that has been reviewed before are all MT9669.
4. Display effect
I restored the projection image seen by the naked eye as much as possible, and stick it with the original image. You can see the actual small effects.
Thanks to the 2800ANSI lumen brightness and the BT.2020 ultra-wide color gamut standard, it can be seen from the comparison picture that the projected picture of Fengmi T1 is very close to the original picture. The picture is clear and transparent, with rich colors and layered, and the viewing is great. Even during the day, there is no pressure to watch the movie with the anti-light curtain.
The sky, lakes and grasslands in picture 1, the small houses in the distance, and the green leaves in picture 2, the brightness and color of these pictures are very accurate, and the saturation of the screen shot is a little higher, which is related to the shooting equipment.
Peak rice T1 fully expresses the delicate beauty of this rose.
also has a very accurate grasp of solid colors.
5. Watching experience
1. Image quality
It is said that the viewing effect of Fengmi T1 is really amazing. From clarity to fluency to color display, I can’t help but applaud. It supports standard decoding in three major HDR formats: Dolby Vision, HDR10+, and HDR10, and the screen details are displayed in place.
In "Avengers", it can set off the Marvel atmosphere while making the dark details clearly visible. After watching the pictures of traditional projectors and then looking at the pictures of Fengmi T1, it feels a sense of freshness that makes you shine.
With the support of MEMC motion compensation, Fengmi T1 can accurately identify dynamic images and improve the smoothness of the visual appearance through interpolation. There will be no faults and afterimage problems when watching high-speed movies or ball games.
2. Sound quality
Fengmi T1 is equipped with 2 15W speakers, glass fiber bass diaphragm, and titanium metal treble diaphragm. As the world's top audio brand, this set of speakers designed and customized by Baohua Weijian Bowers & Wilkins is really not a cover.
Here I will tell you about my subjective listening experience. The low frequency has a strong sense of heaviness, which is quite exciting when watching the fighting scenes; the medium and high frequency sounds are clear and bright, the vocals and music are well-layered, and the overall feeling is very balanced, without particularly obvious shortcomings. Combined with Dolby Atmos sound effects, it brings a more immersive movie viewing experience.
6. Intelligent system
Fengmi T1 is equipped with FengOS system, with a simple interface, no advertisements on the computer, rich resources, and a large number of film and television resources are updated simultaneously. Of course, VIP is indispensable.
Far-field voice, keystone correction, image mode, wireless screen projection and other mainstream functions are available. The keystone correction functions of laser TVs are all manually adjusted. Fengmi T1 supports 8-point keystone correction. Manual fine-tuning can be performed when encountering uneven walls, so that more projection conditions can be faced calmly.
wireless screen projection is very convenient, and it is suitable for Android/iOS/Huawei Cast+/DLNA and other devices. You can directly synchronize the content of your mobile phone to the projection screen, and it is a very pleasant thing to share beautiful moments with your family.
I often get shot directly from the projector, and it feels sour and refreshing. Fengmi T1 has passed the hardware-level low blue light certification to reduce damage to the eyes from the source. At the same time, the light source has an infrared human body detection device. When the human body is close, the light will immediately darken, reducing the harm of strong light stimulation.
7. Noise test
In a room with ambient noise of 40.7dB, the operating noise of the peak T1 machine is only 43.2dB.
8. Summary
Seeing this, I believe you have a better understanding of laser TV and Fengmi T1. If you are building home audio and video system , Fengmi full color laser TV T1 is a very good choice. Regarding projection media, it can directly project white walls. If there are relatively high requirements for picture quality, it can also be matched with Fresnel screen to obtain better viewing effects.
From the daily price point of view, Fengmi T1 is priced at 16,999 yuan, and the current event price is 15,999 yuan. Its actual performance is obvious to all, and it is basically proportional to the price.
So the question is, will you pay for the movie viewing experience?
