Optoma P1 (UHZ65UST) vs VAVA 4K Projector | Which 4K Laser Ultra Short Throw Projector is Best?

[@TexanWolverine]

when mentioning input lag you didnt saying anything about the gaming mode on the P1. Gaming mode is suppose to reduce the input lag. I would love to know what the input lag is with gaming mode enabled. Best answer I found: 55ms (4K UHD, 60 Hz, Game Mode) SmartFIT and PureMotion must be disabled for Game Mode

[@allthingstech]

Your'e right down to 55ms in gaming mode. Thats twice lower than the VAVA

[@meloapa]

I wanted one of these and got the Vava because it was available much sooner (USA) and $500 cheaper. I regretted the choice and sent it back because of the noise. I could hear it clearly through quiet scenes in movies & TV and it was distracting. I bought the Optoma later on and it is decidedly quieter. I think the picture was quite similar. There were also interface differences that made the Optoma slightly better to me but the noise of the Vava was just a deal-kiler for me. If that's not an issue I think someone could be quite happy with the Vava as well.

[@preezy1981]

In my honest opinion vava was brighter and more vivid. For the price and overall quality vava wins!

I agree.VAVA has much better,brighter and sharper picture than optoma.I wouldn't mind much about little noise,design and OS.We buy these machine for picture quality and nothing else.Based on most reviews I have seen so far, I would go for VAVA again and again if I could afford one.Its an amazing machine judging by the fact that it's their first on the market compared to Optoma who have been there long enough.I love it a lot and I know they're going to improve a lot on their next flagships.

[@countreekidd]

look at the blinds at 8:22 and 8:32. They're not oriented the same, and that's why the ambient light is worse for the vava unit. If you look at the black area underneath the screen, you can tell it's not an apples to apples comparison, one is clearly more illuminated than the other, and it appears the light source is from the window on the left.

[@GaryDownes]

I saw the exact same thing. Great review overall though

This is by far one of the best reviews out there, if I can just give some constructive advice, it would be great if you could label the takes, it’s a bit hard to follow which image belongs to which projector at times, and I think you forgot to compare sound quality?

[@crazydrifter13]

This tech will get much better it seems.

[@brois841]

Great comparison, but I think the update should be made about additional ambient light during the day-time brightness test and also the $3,299 price from Optoma was an introductory price at launch and it actually sells for $3,799. Which makes it a full $1k more expensive than the VAVA in the US. Not an insignificant amount. Optoma is also available from more many more retailers, while the VAVA is basically limited to Amazon in the US. Optomas experience in the projection space really shows with all the options they give you. VAVA has some known picture adjustment settings especially if you switch sources/ports, picture settings, SDR/HDR and so on. Prior to this comparison, I was leaning towards the VAVA, after watching it, at similar price points, I'd buy Optoma. However with the pricing as it is.... it's hard enough to justify VAVA, but Optoma is even more expensive. Ugh...

[@blablub1990]

i bought the optoma two weeks ago and from my point of view you clearly missed the coloring settings on the optoma. i got mine far more accurate to the source image. and in every aspect of the picture quality i got a better result. but thats just me. maybe the circumstances in the room are different. still i had the washed out picture with the default settings. after i changed the color settings everything was amazing. i recommend checkeng those again. on both devices.

[@allthingstech]

What settings did you change to?

[@blablub1990]

@@allthingstech the settings for red and cyan are toatally off in my opinion. i chnged the intensity of these both the most and played around a little, the result was incredible. the other colors were pretty much ok. yellow is debatable, should be more intens than the default settings in my opinion. you have three settings per color that you can change. it would be too much to cover it all in the comment section

[@jclmedia6729]

Great review and super detailed! Thank you for a professional comparison 🙌🏼

[@reptilexcq2]

I think it depends on the screen material as well. There are materials that absorb the lights better and that will make the Optoma stands out since it is brighter. I have a $1000 screen and it absorb lights pretty good and make my Optoma look amazing, no washed out even in day light.

[@allthingstech]

Screen is really important and for these UST projectors a ALR screen is a must.

[@juliocesarromero9889]

Which screen do you have?

[@dwindeyer]

Just wanted to say that the weird ambient light test results appear to be as a result of different levels of ambient light hitting the projection screen... It's very obvious at 8:40 that more light is hitting the screen for the VAVA unit, you can see the greatly increased reflection in the black matte area under the screen. I suspect the same is for the open blinds test, the Optoma seems to have a very bright window vs a not as bright window for the VAVA.

[@PiquedFlow]

very good comparison and reviews. Thanks

[@MakeAMark1755]

Thanks for the review. I got the Vava while it was on the black Friday sale. After watching this feel that I made the write decision and I see the black levels is a whole lot better which is pretty important

[@Asif24960]

I’ve seen both in real life. The 2020 version of the Vava does come in black and today you can with some searching get both at the same price. I prefer the Vava, during the day it looks noticeably better and black levels are important to me over colour (I’m an OLED guy). Overall both great but for me the 2020 Vava is the one that suits my needs

[@andrewvu3083]

Is it possible that the camera exposure setting could have skewed the tests? If the camera's exposure level was left on automatic instead of manual, the iso and shutter speed could have made one video image darker/lighter than the other.

[@GaryDownes]

When you show the Optima and Vava side by side in ambient lighting, you can clearly see that the Optima is in a darker setting. Not saying you're trying to be bias towards the Optima, however I can visually see a difference. First time I've seen your videos as well, and I really liked how you frame your reviews.

This is a very well done comparison. It's hard to match light levels with a daylight source, of course. I think the Optoma is the winner overall, myself. I wish laser projectors would come down in price to the level of LED or lamp-based. I would love to escape the tyranny of the lamp hour counters, but I don't want to drop $4000-plus.

[@markkaupas8921]

Comparison is useless without a proper calibration and knowing what gain the screen is. I would wait to pull the trigger until a proper calibration is done on both projectors. There were no actual test done on either projector. This comparison on picture performance is misleading. Personally I wouldn't have a white projector under my screen, it's just to distracting.

4:00 -- What do you mean "almost identical connections"? I see 3 HDMI connections on the VAVA and 2 on the Optoma. That's not insignificant. The HDMI ARC is going to go to an external soundbar for surround sound, and one HDMI is going to be taken up by a Fire Stick or the like. Leaving no additional HDMI connections available on the Optoma for a gaming system or DVD player. Am I missing something?

[@peTeMelster]

The VAVA keystone correction is so limited and bad, so I'm left with a super wavy line on my wall (doesn't seem to show up on my projector screen though). It only has Rec 709 (compared to the better Rec 2020 of the Optoma P1) also. The VAVA's HDMI CEC function isn't working fully either, only partially, with my Nvidia Shield Pro 2019. Aptiode TV is trash -- can't even play KZbin videos from it properly (ads will play, but the actual KZbin video will not), which is why I bought the Nvidia Shield. However, the VAVA can go up to 150" and requires less space from the wall, versus only 120" for the Optoma P1. So I ultimately decided VAVA was better, especially for far cheaper. I don't get such washed out images in a dark room on my VAVA as shown in your review video either. And VAVA absolutely looks stunning in daylight with all the windows open and bright light streaming in (combined with my VividStorm ALR screen).

[@DeathStickD]

That wavy line has nothing to do with keystone, that's an imperfection in your wall. That's why it doesn't show up on the screen. Any UST projector would have the same thing.

[@allthingstech]

Try Smart KZbin on Aptoide I had it working perfectly

[@peTeMelster]

@@DeathStickD Well, the point of keystone is to fix any slight imperfections. However, the VAVA's keystone correction is so limited that it can't even fix a minor imperfection that is imperceptible to the naked eye. If VAVA had 16 points instead of 8, it might have been able to fix the issue.

[@DeathStickD]

@@peTeMelster it still wouldn't have, and that's not the point of keystone, the point of keystone is for when your screen or projector (your floor or ceiling) aren't level thus giving you a trapezoid image. It will not fix imperfections in your wall such as dips and dents. That's why a screen is recommended especially for anything that's short throw. The shorter the throw the more drastic an impact it'll have on your image.

[@kevinguthmiller8510]

YES!!! My VAVA has a wavy line on the upper left and the lower right that I can't get rid of. It's not keystoning I don't think because it is not a straight line but rather it is truly wavy. I was projecting onto the wall, so I thought maybe that was it, so I moved it to another wall, and the curves are in the same areas of the screen edge. I am wondering if I have a defective unit.

[@dions.2518]

Hi Kevin & Chris, yes. I found the Vava was noiseir than the Xiaomi and colours was way to over exposed. Similar to comparing the colours of a picture in an iPhone vs Samsung. Xiaomi is iPhone where the colours are natural and not over expose. I used the Vividstorm electrical UST screen for the comparison. Optoma daytime viewing was not very good and for the price, it should have better than both Vava & Xioami. I would think that between the Xioami vs Vava, it's individual liking. I know some which liked the Samsung bright colours rather than the true natural colours of the iPhone.

When it comes to contrast, I think that in a light room, the brighter projector will seem better. To really compare, don't you need to set brightness and contrast to some measure of equality versus using out of the box settings? (Anyone can ship a projector with default brightness on a higher setting.) Or, is out of the box testing what you are after? I know I spent hours setting up my projector and out of the box settings are not worthy of serious evaluation.

How long does the Optoma take to turn on? I didn't like how long the Vava took to start playing a video, because with a chromecast, I'd miss the first 30-40 seconds because it had to boot Android every time. Also, can you turn off the Optoma with Google Assistant? Chromecasts can turn off most TVs that support CEC, but the Vava just crashes and shows a black screen while keeping the laser on.
