What is the most recommended bedroom projector in 2023? I would say it is the new thin and light projector D5X from Dangbei Projection; it is the end of the year and I thought that there would be no new product releases in the projection industry. Unexpectedly, Dangbei Projection has released a heavyweight thin and light projector D5X this time. As a digital blogger, I am fortunate to receive the new projector in advance. I am so excited that I quickly unboxed it and reviewed it to show everyone how this new product is.
Projectors have become very popular in the past few years. I asked a few friends around me whether they have several projectors at home, or at least flagship ones that can be used for many years. The TV in the bedroom is basically in a state of gathering dust and is almost never turned on. In this era when everyone is pursuing the quality of life, put a projector in the bedroom, and when you turn it on, it will be a super-large-screen movie, and you can enjoy life when you get home.
Some digital novice friends may be very excited when they see a projector, but there are too many product parameters and they don’t know how to choose one. For professional matters, you still need to find a professional. What factors should you pay attention to when buying a bedroom projector? As a digital blogger, I am here to answer your questions.
For a bedroom projector, portability and easy storage are really important; the space in the bedroom is inherently small, and the daily necessities are also very small. I often worry that there is no place to put things. The thin and portable body of the projector can be easily clipped on a bookshelf, placed in a drawer, or simply placed on a bedside table for viewing. It is also convenient to take to a friend's house for viewing, and it is not heavy to put in a schoolbag.
For a projector placed in the bedroom, picture quality is equally important. Good picture quality will look clearer to the naked eye and more comfortable to the senses; good picture quality requires the brightness and resolution of a projector, etc. Parameters, the brightness of should preferably be greater than 1000ANSI lumens to meet the needs of watching movies in the bedroom with the lights on. The resolution must be 1080P . It would be better if there are some additional configurations.
There is definitely no way to test the experience of using a bedroom projector just by looking at the parameters. Here are some tips for you. You can pay attention to the interactive system of the projector and the effect of side projection. Like , if we want to place the projector on the bedside table in the bedroom, we must test the projector's side projection technology; at the same time, the heat dissipation and noise of the projector are equally important, otherwise it will affect the viewing experience.
So is this new projector Dangbei D5X thin and light projector good to use in the bedroom? I think there must be many people who want to know quickly, what are the features of this projector worth paying attention to, and how is the price/performance ratio? Follow me down.
When I got the Dangbei D5X and saw the outer packaging, I fell in love with it. The packaging box is not big, the color is very fresh, and unboxing is also very ceremonial. After opening
, there is a very thin and light D5X, a remote control, two batteries, and a brand new charger.
Speaking of thinness and lightness, Dangbei D5X really implements this very well. The body is only 47.5mm thick and weighs only about 1kg. I can drag it up with one hand. With the flat body, there is no need to consider freeing up a special place for projection. You can just put it on the table and project a large screen to watch movies.
The highlight of the body is not only thin and light, but also a fashionable design. Dangbei D5X uses a deep space gray color scheme, and the exterior material has a delicate matte texture. This machine looks small and exquisite, which is in line with the aesthetics of contemporary young people. It is equipped with a wall-mounted power adapter , which is also more convenient to store and carry.
Our most intuitive feeling when opening a projector is the startup speed and autofocus speed. This Dangbei D5X uses a multi-point TOF+CMOS dual configuration in focusing technology, so we can feel that the focusing speed is particularly fast can recognize the picture at the fastest speed and achieve precise focusing. can also perform side projection with the same speed and accuracy when placed on the bedside table, which is twice as fast as ordinary thin and light projectors. The startup speed is also excellent, and there are no ads when starting up. It will not waste our time at startup, and we can quickly enter the big screen state.
Of course, in addition to fully automatic trapezoidal correction technology and sensorless focusing, Dangbei D5X also has intelligent obstacle avoidance and screen adaptive functions . Generally, it is very suitable for families with a lot of clutter like mine. It can avoid obstacles in the middle very well. The side projection is also square and very fast. I like this very much.
Judging from the MT9699 used in Dangbei D5X, it is really hard to imagine that it is a smart projector worth more than 2,000 yuan. Generally speaking, the MT9669 processor is used in flagship projectors worth 5,000 to 6,000 yuan. After all, this master-level processor is very good in image processing capabilities. The
MT9669 processor is the flagship AI chip launched after the merger of MTK and Mstar. This processor has a quad-core Cortex-A73 architecture, and the NPU computing power can reach 1 trillion times per second. In addition to having powerful graphics decoding capabilities, it can "leapfrog" improve the picture effect; it can also speed up the running speed, that is, the speed of the autofocus, trapezoidal correction and other technologies mentioned above; it also supports 4K resolution decoding and maximum support for 4K 120HZ refresh rate output, supports MEMC motion compensation technology.
Evaluation Projection How to look at the picture imaging effect, first look at the picture parameters of Dangbei D5X: Brightness: 1100ANSI lumens
Resolution: 1080P
Display chip: 0.33DMD
This time Dangbei D5X has achieved a brightness of 1100 ANSI lumens, which can be said to be very sincere. From the perspective of the picture effect, the overall picture brightness is relatively uniform. With the blessing of AI Zhencai Engine Pro technology, the color of the picture is also delicate and full. The skin texture of the characters' faces is very natural, and there will be no exposure when the layout brightness is too high.
Some thin and light projectors still have a built-in 0.23DMD display chip. The 0.33DMD display chip used by D5X has a much higher picture definition. ; with the same resolution of 1080P, the 0.23DMD picture will have a grainy feel, but this phenomenon will not occur on the 0.33DMD machine.
Here are some real photos for you:
When it comes to bedroom projections, everyone is afraid of loud noise and poor heat dissipation. After several days of use and evaluation, we found that this Dangbei D5X has the best heat dissipation and noise reduction of its type.
After using the projector for a long time, the heat around the machine has always been relatively small, and there is no phenomenon of hotness around the machine; the noise is almost non-existent. This time Dangbei D5X has reduced the noise index to <24dB. When the machine is running, you can hardly feel the sound of the fan running. The advantage of noise reduction is that you can safely use the projector on the bedside, and it will not interfere with daily viewing.
After playing a TV series and a few pieces of music, I can feel that the sound quality of Dangbei D5X is really good. The Viper sound system plus ’s 2*5 high-quality speakers really have a 3D stereo surround effect when watching movies.
When evaluating Dangbei D5X, we also found some other highlights, such as the eye protection function. The diffuse reflection principle of the projector itself is more eye-protective than a TV. Dangbei D5X also adds an eye protection function . When people get closer to the projector, the screen will automatically reduce the brightness, and no strong light will shine directly into the human eyes.
Dangbei OS system is still fast and convenient in operation, with many resources and many functions; I personally like the remote control retrieval function and desktop DIY function.
You can see some of the most popular film and television resources on the Dangbei OS homepage. The video preview function allows you to see the most exciting parts of the film in advance. You can quickly decide whether the film is good or not.
I also like to play some games. This Dangbei D5X supports HDR10+HLG dual decoding technology and MEMC motion compensation technology. When playing games, the picture does not have a trace of lag and is very smooth. ; Dangbei screen projection function also makes it easier to play games. I was deeply impressed. The screen projection speed is very fast and there is no advertisement interference. If you can’t find the remote control, don’t panic. You can use the remote control retrieval function on the Dangbeijia APP. You can also use the magic same-screen function to control the projector, which is very convenient.
Well, the review ends here. In summary, the overall quality of this thin and light projector Dangbei D5X product is really good. In addition to its high brightness and good picture quality, it also brought me a lot of surprises. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a small steel gun with thin and light performance. It does not take up space in the bedroom, and the picture quality is good. It is a recommended bedroom projector.
