One MAJOR Feature Changed The Standard For Lifestyle Projectors: Valerion VisionMaster Pro 2

[@NewStuffTV1]

In this video, I used the ALR screen Valerion sent with the projector. For my own personal setup, I use a matte white electric drop down screen seen in some of the clips and it looks amazing. As for the ceiling mount, I'm using combination of two mounts I put together over 5 ago that I adapted to a much older projector. Sorry, I don't have links to provide. Get it here...

[@lordzee2947]

Was there a huge difference between using your Matt white screen vs the one Valerion sent??

[@P.SomasekharReddy-r1p]

Can it be a replacement for LS12000 (or) RS1100?

[@francismedina4547]

The XGIMI Horizon Ultra also has optical and digital zoom. It's weakness is the black level. I'm upgrading to the Valerion's Max when it comes out.

[@davidsilberhorn]

How does the picture of the Pro 2 compare to the Hisense px3 pro? Which one has the better black level? I would be interested in a video like this.

[@ricanman85]

I pledged for the Max, the EBL, dark detail and brightness was all I needed, and the 110% of REC 2020, I was saving for a JVC NZ700, but the way this has gone for the money, has me pretty excited

[@BMWorks_NL]

What screen are you using? how is the speckle?

[@TScottT]

What a fun review! Your enthusiasm is contageous, but you also keep it real.

[@fsugrad03]

Great video, brother! I’m glad I found you and I’m excited about my Pro 2 arriving one day. Subscribed!!

[@NewStuffTV1]

Thanks for watching. I hope you like it as much as I do!

[@bucclao209]

Should I get the plus2 or the pro2?? What’s the difference besides the lumen???

[@cgott42]

How long did it take to setup via autosetup? What screen are you using?

[@NewStuffTV1]

The projector can be set up witin minutes after logging into your Google account. I'm using the ALR screen they offer with the package. I've also tried it on a cheap matte white screen and it looks fantastic!

[@dylankarim2083]

​@@NewStuffTV1Hi. Would be interested by the link of your cheap screen please. And great review as always 😊

[@bossanegra3490]

@@NewStuffTV1 Did you notice any laser speckle with this screen? And did you use it while the Valerion projector was mounted to the ceiling? If so, did you need to rotate the screen to get the best ALR effect?

[@a.s.5280]

Fantastic upload, thx alot 👍. What screen do you have? Looks amazing. A white or grey (ALR) one? What will be the best option for a room with controlled lights?

[@NewStuffTV1]

Thanks! In the video, I'm using the grey ALR that Valerion has. For my actual setup, I use a 120" matte white screen.

[@TRX25EX]

​​@@NewStuffTV1 You Mean Fresnel or regular ALR? I believe they have both and which one you recommend mate white or the supplied screen

[@Mark-p8h1c]

Question.....can this projector crop the black bars wether on the sides or top and bottom. Not zooming ,mind you. But being projected on a wall with no screen , can these bars that are normally masked with ugly distracting methods ,be simply cropped off?? And if not. When the heck are projectors going to make that simple thing a reality lol. I realize some have the ability to project with no black bars of wasted pixels. Basically I'm asking. Can this projector do that?

[@NewStuffTV1]

To my experience, no... it can't do that. Isn't this due to the way the films are shot?

[@Mark-p8h1c]

@NewStuffTV1 yea it is but in this day and age lol one would think that at least a simple crop feature could be added )even if one had to use it manually ) to eliminate the problem of the lit up black bars. Lol.

[@rromerojr]

Thanks for posting this! Since it only has the single mounting point how did you ceiling mount? Did you use any special adapters or hardware? If so, would you mind sharing links to what you used? Thanks again!!!

[@NewStuffTV1]

I'm sorry, but I don't have a link for the mount. A long time ago, I had a projector with a single 1/4" mount like this one. I had to combine two different type of mounts to adapt it to my setup. Luckily, I saved the mount and was able to dig it up and use it for the Valerion.

[@DVDIT]

Where did you get your mount? I have been looking for single thread PJ mount for the Pro2.

[@gregclare]

Me too! No add-ons avaiable in my country, so I can't get the "official" ceiling mount.

[@richardknott2021]

Great video..

[@dennissimiyu3109]

I was thinking of getting the 98-inch TCL QM8, but now I am in a dilemma!

[@NewStuffTV1]

That's definitely a tough decision, considering how awesome the QM8 is. Good luck! Lol!

[@diymktavgs3772]

I've an old JVC RS500 projecting a 120" screen. The Pro 2 should have no problem projecting a 150" image, FWIW. Since I do not have the pj yet, I would not know how the contrast would be. The old JVC is about 2x the Pro 2 when new. This Kickstarter is a bargain, comparing to the TCL. GL.

[@vineetbhardwaj8633]

I have a high celling and my current EPSON 8700 UB is mounted 4 feet below from the ceiling. Can I use the existing mount to mount the pro 2? Or do I need to get something different? Thank you for the video!

[@NewStuffTV1]

The Pro 2 only has a 1/4" hole for mounting. I'm assuming you'll need to adapt it somehow. I had to combine two separate mounts to figure this out.

[@vineetbhardwaj8633]

@@NewStuffTV1 mind sharing the mounts model u used, I am new to all this. The one they are offering on their kickstart website does not seem to go beyond 43 cm in total but I am sure there are third party mounts that I should be able to use for this

[@NewStuffTV1]

@vineetbhardwaj8633 I don't have links to any of the hardware I used. It's something I put together over 5 years ago to use with a different projector.

[@altodata2617]

Great review.

[@NewStuffTV1]

Thanks for watching!

[@marc202i]

This is wild !!!!! What is the screen you have ? Can you see laser speckle? From what they'll start to blend with the image and are not disturbing factor

[@brucesmith1754]

Laser speckle from triple laser projectors usually results from projecting onto a reflective surface. Use a matte white surface screen or non-glossy/semi-gloss on painted walls.

[@marc202i]

@brucesmith1754 I'm a Max backer. Currently, i own Elitescreens Cinegrey 5D and scratching my head if this screen is any good?

[@NewStuffTV1]

In the video, I'm using it with the ALR screen Valerion provided. I personally us it with a matte white 120" drop down screen. I on the ALR, the speckle isn't even noticeable until you actually look for it. On the matte white, I cant see it at all. I also own an Elite Screens CineGrey 5D, I'm going to experiment with that one in a couple of weeks.

[@brucesmith1754]

@@NewStuffTV1 Great job, Antione! Thanks!

[@marc202i]

@NewStuffTV1 I'd be very grateful if you could find it faster than a couple of weeks. Actually, b4 Nov 24th, when Valerion Kickstarter ends, I don't want to lose the price offer for frensel ALR if my Cinegrey 5D sucks

[@tbip2001]

Man inwish there were more options for ust lcd panel projectors. Rainbow effect is still visible in fast moving sections

[@NewStuffTV1]

Have you ever seen this rainbow effect in person? I haven't. When filming videos of TVs and projectors, there is are sometimes bands and rainbows due to the camera sensor and the lasers or the frequency of the contents shown. This is not seen with the human eye in person.

[@gregclare]

@@NewStuffTV1 I just fan my fingers out and wave them side to side in front of my eyes, and with a DLP I can see all 3 primary colours seperated! Although, I don't recommend doing this, as once you've seen rainbows you've open the door to seeing them. But, on the positive side, I've seen a few reviews that say RBE is much improved compared to older DLP projectors. I couldn't cope with them on the first generation DLP's, back in the day.

[@cgott42]

What's the shortest distance needed to project a 110" image?

[@12Vencedor]

218 cm or for non metric guys 7 feet

[@brucesmith1754]

for the Max/Pro2 model (contains .9-1.5 optical zoom lens) you have a throw range of 7 to 12 feet for a 110". for the Plus/Plus2 model(contains 1.2 fixed lens) you need a specific throw distance of 9.5 feet.

[@stefanklein1863]

Great projector, but at 7:30-7:33 I see a heavy rainbow effect in those buildings.

[@NewStuffTV1]

That's from the camera sensor responding to the lasers. The human eye can't see that in person. Filming tvs and projectors is TOUGH!

[@stefanklein1863]

@@NewStuffTV1 If you look closely (and stop the video) , you can see that the 3 colors are offset to each other, which is a typical rainbow effect during fast motion. Cameras capture all colors at the same time and can´t produce that effect IMO. But maybe you can correct me....hopefully ;)

[@we8463]

Why is half the lens covered?

[@samirka1292]

Where do you think the plus 2 stand from this model ?

[@brucesmith1754]

The quality features are the same but it has a fixed lens ,1000 less lumens and the EBL dynamic contrast ratio is lower.( Pro2 model and above 15K:1, Plus2 model and lower 10K:1)

[@samirka1292]

@ and it cost 600$ more. I wanted to know how much of a difference is the 600$ translate in picture quality.

[@madegy9895]

How does it compare to the Hisense c1, that you used before?

[@NewStuffTV1]

Completely blows it away. In the video, you can see me replacing it. I know there is also the C2 Ultra, but i haven't tested that one yet.

[@madegy9895]

So even though it haven’t been put on the market yet truly you would buy it without a doubt? What If it comes damaged or needs fixing. Do you know if Valerion will cover that support?

[@NewStuffTV1]

@madegy9895 It's a Kickstarter product as of right now. There are always going to be risk with that. However, Valerion is a sister brand of AWOL, which is a very reputable company.

[@brucesmith1754]

@@NewStuffTV1 Most of the risk is in investing in a new company doesn't have a track record of bringing a quality product to market. When I heard the name Valerion alone, I cooled my heels at first. Once I later found out that it was a sister company of AWOL I pledged for the Plus 2. Cant wait!

[@brucesmith1754]

How long ago was it, a month maybe , when I was telling you to look out for the Hisense C2 Ultra. Then AWOL drops this Valerion VisionMaster on us. EBL is the killer app for lifestyle projectors! Is it safe to say that your Hisense C1 has now been put out to pasture?😉

[@NewStuffTV1]

Yep! I even said it in this video. I it's a blessing and a curse that this technology is moving so fast. One week you have the best on the market... Then literally next Tuesday something comes out with a new feature that blows it away! I still haven't tried the C2 Ultra though. I'm sure it doesn't have the optical zoom which is a major deal to me.

[@brucesmith1754]

@@NewStuffTV1 The C2 Ultra does have the same optical zoom but it does not have the dynamic EBL software for contrast level improvement. Also, the popular KZbin technical reviewer, "the hookup" made a comparison last week of all the new 4th quarter lifestyle projectors and states that, he was looking for flaws but the Valerion is the best he's ever seen. My pledge is in!

[@TheFirstRealChewy]

I was considering getting the Hisense C2 Ultra and was waiting to see more reviews when I came across the Valerion some time back. I ended up going for the Max. From all the hands on it seems good, but the Max has a few more tech, which also means more failure points. The main question now is reliability and customer support. I'll at least see how people are responding to it until May. I can't say I'm a fan of the reward for hitting the $5 million stretch goal, but getting the gimbal is good since I plan to move this around and use it outdoors in the summer.

[@brucesmith1754]

@@TheFirstRealChewy You're not a fan of being one of the few eligible for the lottery of 500 kickstarter pledgees' that can receive a "loaner" Pro 2 until the Max arrives in May 2025?! BTW. Valerion is AWOL. They have an outstanding record for producing products to market and great customer service.
