Xiaomi Laser 150 Projector - Review - Recorded in 4K 

Haha :D I really cant hide that

I had no problems understanding your English, it’s really good actually.

Moving to Californiaaaah anytime soon ? :))

How could you hear the difference between the Austrian accent and the German? 😊

@@RobertJohnsson There's something real 'Arnold-y' about Austrian English that distincts itself from regular German English.

Sure is! :)

Thats strange. Surly the laptop works with any different monitor? Have you tried all the different HDMI ports? Do you have a different device to test it with?

Serwas und hallo! :D No i didnt. But the benefit should be quite big.in terms of image quality!

Also der Projektor hat eine Chromecast Funktionalität integriert, also mit einem Gerät dass das ebenfalls unterstützt kannst du wireless Apps auf den Projektor abspielen. In meiner Erfahrung funktioniert das jedoch nicht immer perfekt und gibt dir dennoch Einschränkungen. Apple Airplay unterstützt er nicht. Das wirklich einfachste ist wenn du so etwas wie einen FireTV-Stick anschließt, dann hast du alle Apps wie Zattoo, Netflix und usw. direkt auf einem Gerät, ohne das ein Kabel vom Projektor weggeht.

netflix und disney+ zb. sind inzwschen integriert. amazon prime nicht

I hope i can help you. I am not sure if I understand your question. I dont use any kind of projection screen with the projector, it's just my white wall. But if you want to know how big the picture was in my review, its about: Diagonal 177,8cm / 70 inch Width 155cm / 61 inch Height 87,2cm / 34,4 inch So by far not the biggest picture possible that this projector can do.

That was from two meters. The fan is really noisy, but i would say you get used to it. If you are able to sit further back its going to be quite a lot better, that was not an option for me in that old living room. Luckily the speakers do a very good job covering the noise.

Here is a calculator for this model: www.projectorcentral.com/Xiaomi-Mi-projection-calculator-pro.htm

@@LICHTCATCHINGTOBY OH THANK YOU!

I do not even have the space for that, sorry. But I really wouldnt recommend it. Xiaomi lists the maximal size at 150", and even at that size the image is becoming way more dimmer than at around 100 inches

I only know that you can use other remotes if you program them first (but for that you would need a working remote) Did you already try to reach out to Xiaomi in any way?

Yes you can. Tested it with the fire tv stick 4k. The Netflix situation is still the same and probably will never change.

@@LICHTCATCHINGTOBY Yes...This is the Chromecast problem. That shait is not Netflix compatible because Google wants you to watch only RU-vid...Thanks for the answer :)

I would say its a little bit louder. But maybe its actually quieter for you, if you sit further away then to a traditional projector which would be mounted over / right behind your couch. Really depends on your distance

Thanks for your comment! The projector only can output a resolution of 1080p, but can handle 4k and HDR signals just fine. If you want a native 4k output then you have to take a look at its successor: Xiaomi mijia 4k laser projector. But it seems to be quite hard to find this model. But please keep your distance to the screen in mind. At a certain distance you are probably not going to see the difference between 4k and 1080p.

Yeah it can be quite hard. I would say its way easier if you come really close to the wall / projection screen. That brightness problem sound weird. Try changing the picture mode as well as the brightness and check out if changing the brightness in a different picture mode works.

No, i dont have the PF1000UW or have ever seen it in real life. The contrast and the brightness is clearly going to be significant better on the Xiaomi (based on reviews / technical specs). I dont think you are going to find good videos that compare them two though :(

@@LICHTCATCHINGTOBY I don't mind the brightness so much as it will be ib my office/gaming/man cave. But yah it would be a nice comparison as they are both short throws and HD

@@ghanimal-ghanim568 Yeah but compare videos on specific UST projectors are unfortunately quite rare :/ What kind of games do you play? Fast paced games? Just keep in mind that both devices have quite a lot of input lag.

@@LICHTCATCHINGTOBY no I won't be gaming on it unless I play with my ps4 or 5 by the end of the year, but thank you for the info that they have lag. So would you recommend non-short throw projector. I usually game on my pc and play fps like ETF and other games like Football Manager Dayz civilization

Mostly I'll be using the projector to watch movies and football matches

This should help you, you just need to subsctract the length of the projector which is about 29cm: www.projectorcentral.com/Xiaomi-Mi-projection-calculator-pro.htm because this tool calculates from the front. There are also some values in the manual on page 13, which you can find here: www.china-gadgets.de/downloads/xiaomi-laser-projector-anleitung-englisch.pdf

Yes, that works.

Hallo Sigi! Das ist wohl das gefürchtete Spulenfiepen. Ein paar Modelle leider anscheinend dran, meiner hatte es nicht. Soweit ich weiß kann man dagegen nicht viel machen. Ich google nachher nochmal und sende dir gegebenfalls Links dazu. Falls es dich sehr stört, und du noch ein Rückgaberecht hast, kannst du notfalls auch davon Gebrauch machen. LG Tobi

@@LICHTCATCHINGTOBY vielen dank schon mal!!

It depends how you define the price. If you order it in china you sure can get the projector for around 1000€. A lot of people are not a big fan of ordering something directly from China though (warranty, long shipping time, tax problems, customs problems). I just checked a price search engine for Germany and Austria: The best price is 1450€ for the non 4k Version. But still you are right: the price of that thing changed quite a lot already.

It seems like that the new model is almost identical with the old model. The main difference is, that the new model supports 4k pixel shift and is also quieter. I didnt find anything about the boot time though, but i would imagine that its pretty much identical. Here is a review in french if you havent already read it: www.passionhomecinema.fr/blog/index.php/11/10/2020/test-xiaomi-mijia-1s-4k-lavis-de-gregory/

@@LICHTCATCHINGTOBY Merci pour la réponse, en effet, j'avais vu ce site, j'ai laissé des questions concernant le bruit et le temps d'allumage dans les commentaires des utilisateurs du Xiaomi 4 K 1 S. Pour le moment j'hésite entre l'optoma CinemaX 2 et le Xiaomi 4 K 1 S.

@@gfbozier5700 But the linked review mentions the noise level: The comparison with the old version turns to the advantage of the Mijia 1S. In »highlight » mode, the most powerful, I measured 38dB and the « movie » mode displays 32dB; this is much better than the 47/33dB of the old version. If you do have the money for the Optoma Cinema X2 then i would definitely recommend you to buy that one. The operating system is way more sophisticated. Also, if you ever have any warranty issues, or need to repair the device then im pretty sure that Optoma is going to handle that situation better than Xiaomi. A lot of users already complained that Xiaomi didnt help them in anyway when their projector began having problems.

@@LICHTCATCHINGTOBY Effectivement, Optoma est bien implanté en France, c'est appréciable en cas de problèmes.

Haha im sorry. I hope you still got your necessary information.

The projector is rated for 25 000 hours. So for exmaple, if you would watch 8h every day the lamp should last 8,5 years.

@@LICHTCATCHINGTOBY oh wow that's great then.What about if i have to order a bulb in the future? How do i go about it?

@@therideshareentertainer8636 Too be honest, I am not sure. Xiamoi is not selling spare parts / lamps in their online shop directly as far as i know. So you probably need to ask the Xiaomi support for a define answer. The thing is, the lamp life is theoretically so long that you probably have to worry about other parts breaking first, or that you want to upgrade your device anyway. I like that you are asking, people dont seem to care about longevity that much anymore :/

@@LICHTCATCHINGTOBY oh i see

@@therideshareentertainer8636 i think after 8 years u would like to get better one more than fix lol 😂😂😁

That not an idiot question at all, the situation is quite complicated with this projector due to the different versions. Yes, I have the international version. So my projector was in English out of the box and even only had an European outlet. You have access to an app store on the projector, but it is very limited and by far not as big as the typical google play store. There is a plex app, but there is no official support for Netflix and Amazon prime. There are some work arounds like rooting the device or installing apps via USB stick, but the main problem is that the projector does not offen the DRM features that Netflix requires. Long story short: You are way better off if you just connect something like an FireTV Stick or something similar to the device. I hope i could help you

LICHTCATCHINGTOBY very well answers. thank you. In my opinion, if I use fireTV Stick why I pay this cost. It is worthless.

@@LinaninBabasi The xiaomi projector is still one of the best UST projectors (considering the price) on the market. So a fireTv is quite a cheap fix for a major problem of the device. Still, it would be way better if the device just would ship with a normal android TV os.

I just looked on Amazon.com and checked out the questions about the product (just click the Amazon US Link in my Video description). It seems like you need an adapter for it

thank you.

Its still the same, and I would not expect that the situation ever changes with this model.

Get apk and use hard drive to install. I did it works 😎😎

Too be honest, for this review i pretty much used the default settings

I have sold the projector because I decided that a conventional TV suits me better!

@@LICHTCATCHINGTOBY when did u sold, how long hv u used it for?

@@FilmTheGap Close to a year. But I then moved to a different apartment, and the projector didnt make sense anymore.

@@LICHTCATCHINGTOBY i see, hope you enjoyed your new tv then!

@@FilmTheGap I really do. I made a RU-vid review about it as well.

Selbstverständlich kannst du deine PS4 einfach via HDMI anschließen. Einige Nutzer haben nur beschrieben das der Inputlag ein wenig höher ist als bei TVs. Falls das für dich ein Problem ist musst du das bedenken, aber bei manchen Spielen ist der riesige Screen sicher genial

​@@LICHTCATCHINGTOBY Woran sehe ich welches Betriebssystem auf dem Gerät ist ? Einige haben China System die anderen Android 8 oder so. Was bedeuten diese Bezeichnungen: MJJGYY01FM SJL4005GL

@@michaelstalder4782 Wenn du es in Europa kaufst, zum Beispiel von Amazon dann hast du Android TV drauf und alles ist in Deutsch (oder Englisch). Nur wenn du es von Importhändlern wie Gearbest oder so beziehst kannst du die chinesische Version bekommen.

@@LICHTCATCHINGTOBY Ich kaufe es in der Schweiz. Nun habe ich gesehen, dass 2 Modellbezeichnungen dabei auftauchen. MJJGYY01FM SJL4005GL Nun weiss ich nicht was der Unterschied sein soll.
