I have found that you REALLY need to dial in your settings via the Personal Options. (The blue plastic around the lens aperture has nothing to due with the blue tint. This is more likely a sideffect of using RGB LEDs which will tend toward cool blue if not calibrated carefully/are cheap.) This is almost impossible using any of the internal playback tools because you can't have the adjustments up while something is playing. You can, however, make adjustments when using an external HDMI source. These were my settings that worked for internal and external. Although, I wouldn't even bother with the internal playback as the hardware decoding is pretty much garbage all the way around. External HDMI (MacBook Pro) Brightness 70 Contrast 45 Saturation 40 Sharpness 0 Hue 50 Red 80 Green 46 Blue 30 Internal Playback Brightness 90 Contrast 40 Saturation 40 Sharpness 0 Hue 45 Red 60 Green 30 Blue 20

Used my "APEMAN LC650 True 1080 Projector" a few times, i really like it, with it's softer image, and the contrast is good for an LCD, i prefer it to my 3 DLP's, 2 died, , , i'm using an 8ft throw, but i have noticed that when i connect a USB drive and play movies that way , the GPU struggles and it drops a few frames here and there, it is worse when there is a full screen pan, the scrolling end titles judder BAD !!, , , , Now using my 3mtr HDMI cable with the LC650 , No dropped frames, works perfect !! I am using my Acer 1080 laptop to play the videos through HDMI, i use VLC but also like MPC-HC (Media Player Classic), because it has a 20 second buffer, and am using it with +15 contrast that works perfect with the LC650 Do not get a DLP projector, , ,they may last a few hundred hours, but they will die !!, , the 1080 2x3 cm DMD chip has 2,073,600 microscopic wibbly wobbly square shaped mirrors that pivot, because they are physical moving parts, they fail dramaticly, , thousands of dead pixels, , ,also with my Optoma DLP, when i dart my eyes left and right, there are RGB vertical striped line artifacts - USELESS !! when you view a 72" display at 5 meters, 1080 will look the same as a 720, because of what the eye can resolve at that distance, , that goes for 4K aswell, there is an optimum distance for each resolution, if you go beyond it, the res will go down

I am confused between formovie s5 or dangbei atom ??
@zas7863 ай бұрын
@FlauntAarna Dangbei Atom has a better interface, since it runs the full Google TV software. S5 has a chinese interface, so you will need an external device for your apps. Image is very comparable. Both run on lasers and similar brightness and contrast. S5 has a usb-c port which makes it easier to hook up external battery packs. Atom does not. Atom is slighlty better overall but it also costs more than twice as much as S5. Really depends on what you are looking for.

Could you possibly tell which type of external battery pack you are using? I think that it should have a USB C output of at least 60 Watts and that's a little hard to find, since most online vendors either do not specify the wattage or it is too low (ca 30 Watts, at best)!

@marceloggero1170 this is a standard throw projector, so a white screen works best. ALR screens do help with viewing in light conditions but I would only buy those for short throw projectors. As you can see in my video, it performs reasonably well even with some daylight. But, it's still at its best in a dark room. Hope that helps.
