Review on 🎥 Vamvo L6200 1080P Full HD Projector: Max 300” Display, 5000Lux. Perfect for Outdoor Movies, Home Theater & More. Compatible with Fire TV Stick, PS4 & More – HDMI, VGA, AV & USB by Jeff Drollinger

I heard about this Vamvo projector from a colleague who was very happy with the projector he bought. It turned out to be just what I needed for a small outdoor event in Austin to showcase the art and music of Burning Man. The first photo shows my first backyard test with a temporary setup. I was blown away by the quality of this projector given the affordable price. I built a sturdy stand to use the projector unattended outdoors at my event and it was a great success. I'm impressed with the Vamvo's image clarity at 1920 x 1080 and most notably the 5000 lumens brightness which was very noticeable even at full throw with a double garage door as the screen in low ambient light. I also love all the I/O options available: two HDMI ports and for older hardware main band/component ("AV") and even VGA! For audio output at VJ sessions, I brought along a 1/8-inch Y-cable so I could drive powered speakers, and a Bluetooth connection to a chain of wireless speakers. Micro SD as well as a high capacity USB stick like a flash drive and supports a wide range of popular video formats/codecs (there is also a handy powered only USB port to power 5V devices so you can charge your cellphone For my project, I wanted to view recorded content, so I bought a 128GB SD card and a 128GB SFF flash drive. I found that the projector's operating system couldn't read my new drives because they were formatted as exFAT, so I reformatted them to the more generic FAT32. SD card and USB stick, I had a backup in case of damage but if I wanted I could use the combined 256GB to store movies. The OSD system is simple but sufficient. I rarely use the touch buttons on the projector to access menus, preferring the more feature-rich remote control instead. (But it's nice to know that if I ever lose the remote, that option is there.) The projector has two IR receivers for the remote, one to the front and one to the back, so you can control the projector independently whether you sit in the back or in the front. This. With the projector behind me, I simply point the remote at the screen and send the signal back to the projector; it's as convenient as controlling a television. One feature I'd like to see on the remote is a skip (next/previous) command specifically for media files. The workaround is to either go back to the menu and select the next or previous file, or fast forward to the end of the current video (there are two FF/Rew speeds), which may take a while. I took a (half?) star off the remote's rating for that, but maybe that's a bit harsh for this minor inconvenience. But compared to all the other very thoughtful features, this inconvenience stood out. I have now used this projector in a variety of indoor and outdoor environments and am impressed with both the performance and the intelligence. and design variety. The housing around the LEDs gets warm, but not hot to the touch; The internal fan proved to be a good balance between noiselessness and efficiency. There's even a pair of removable flaps to allow the user to blow through the dust screens in a lint-rich environment if needed. The projector has a moderate (15 degrees?) keystone correction, a manual control that only adjusts the optics when the screen is above centerline, not below. However, this shouldn't be a problem if you're hanging the projector from the ceiling, as there's an invert setting that allows you to turn it upside down (I'm planning to use this feature in my media room) and even left/right side swap mirrors so you can project from the back of a translucent screen (I could use it in an art installation to project through a screen). Other user controls affect aspect ratio (auto, 4:3, 16:9) and image quality (contrast, brightness, sharpness, etc. if I remember correctly). personal viewing, but as with any projector, connecting to a decent sound system is best for watching movies. The remote control has a volume control for the internal speaker. In my opinion, this company has done everything to provide a great user experience, right down to the nifty soft case and the included cables (HDMI and 1/4). 8 inches per component) to facilitate most adjustments. To the included accessories I've also added a long and extra-long 1/8" stereo cable (for speaker placement away, but you can also use a Bluetooth transmitter) and a USB cable. - an HDMI adapter so I can watch videos I can stream from my phone or tablet. I have yet to test the projector with a Fire TV Stick or Roku. I think the Vamvo projector is a great solution for such a versatile, well designed and high quality product. I highly recommend it.
