VANKYO Leisure 510 Review - HD Projector

[@harveycobb386]

I brought this projector 2 weeks ago and i love it~ got it when it was $169, now they have jacked the price to $199 on Amazon. I love this projector, picture is great and gives you a real home theater feel.

[@Hiphop4freshmen]

Harvey Cobb how do you switch it to play from the usb? Trying to play videos from my iPhone X...

[@vankyo2027]

Hi Harvey, thanks for your feedback,Vankyo didn't jacked the price,this projector was in sales promotion when you purchased it, the regular price is $199, thank you.

[@vankyo2027]

Hi Allen, sorry for checking your message late, please use a himi to lightning cable to connect the projecor with your phone ,as the current of lightning is very small, the other USB output of the cable is to get power by plugging into the projector or socket. Hope this helps, thank you.

[@buhmanbaracus]

@@vankyo2027 Can you tell me, why you do not release projectors with better, more quiet fans? An additional 20-30$ more in price would be completely acceptable for this nice feature....

[@vankyo2027]

​@@buhmanbaracus Hi Buhman, sorry for my reply, thanks for your feedback and trust,as for this projector, we have received little feedback from the fan so far, it is not affected when playing the videos,right? We're also keeping an eye on it , yup, we will release new-version high quality projectors in coming days. Thanks for your trust and support.

[@jam3sh3n13y]

The sound on this projector is pretty amazing I was completely blown away by how it actually fills the room

[@HopelessWanderer87]

Question: How is the picture with the lights on?

[@brianbayer3224]

I've been using this projector hooked up to my pc and stereo, it replaced my 42in tv, I now have my 92in screen hanging. I love it, its a tv replacement.

[@GaugingGadgets]

[@BoomingCreation]

How far do toy have the projector from the screen to make it 92inch? Thinking about that size in my bedroom

[@SuperFredAZ]

This is NOT a 1080p projector, it is a 720p that accepts a 1080p signal and down-samples to 720. Please make the distinction! At least this proctor is hd, but NOT Full hd.

[@tomlarson1205]

@Alton Kilbourne It's the manufacturers marketing BS. You need to dig deep into the specifications to find the "native resolution" for the device. This will tell you what the actual projected image is. What they are saying is very misleading, it will accept a HD image source and display it, but reduced or scaled down to a lower resolution (the native resolution). A rough analogy would be a well recorded symphony on CD. You can play that CD on a $29.00 Walmart stereo and hear it but it will not sound anywhere near what it would sound like on an expensive stereo set-up.

[@TheFrogInYourClosetWatchingYou]

It's advertised as a 768p projector everywhere I see it sold I'm sure it was an accident... I am curious why it's 768p though when there are some cheaper models that support 1080p.

[@SuperFredAZ]

@@TheFrogInYourClosetWatchingYou there is a pixel layout of 1366 X 768 that is a "standard" for some lcd monitors. In any case this projector "accepts" 1080p which means if you give it a 1080p signal it will play it at the best resolution it can, which you now tell me is 1365 X 768, which DOES NOT make the unit 1080P. Thanks for the correction.

[@TheFrogInYourClosetWatchingYou]

@@SuperFredAZ yeah I had read the description wrong on the one I thought was native 1080p. They are all 768p it's just some sellers try to lead buyers into believing it's native 1080p just because it can play 1080p videos. But like I said with this specific projector I've only seen it advertised as 768p native and 1080p upscale.

[@Lw2201]

Dude...I bought this thing last week. It's my very first projector. Then I picked up a vankyo performance v620 native 1080p projector. The sound and slightly larger screen size/shorter throw distance is why I'm getting rid of the v620 and keeping the leisure 510, even though the screen is barely less bright and the pixels are larger because it's only 720p, literally everything else about this projector is better than the v620. The sound is amazing, the surround sound works great!! And there is less motion blur for some reason compared to the 1080p v620 which gives me a headache playing games on it. I'm keeping the leisure 510 and getting rid of the other one. I just wish I could find a leisure 510 but with 1080p and brighter led, but I can't seem to find a leisure 520 or whatever that would be. The entire line of v600,v620,v630 all suck balls compared to this thing. They all have really shitty audio and louder fans with a noticeable annoying ring to it like a jet engine. Get this leisure 510, you won't regret it.

[@hoosierdaddy9377]

Hey man quick question. Trying to take this projector on a camping trip. Is it possible? What would I need for it to work?

[@kikoport5263]

Can it be used during daytime? Or in brightly-lit room? How's the picture quality if used in such conditions? Planning to use in a classroom setting or in churches using the PowerPoint presentation.

[@CoroaEntertainment]

Not very good. Depending on how much light is in the room, the projected image could be washed out. Most projectors need some form of light control to help get the best/brightest image possible.

[@kabbaaurora168]

A good friend of mine gave this for a gift to replace my old Panasonic 1080p plasma TV. My viewing room isn't big 4m x 3m am still able to run this with a screen. Hooked up to my 5.1 B&W set. Breath taking for the price. Great entry level projector, see for self😁

This is my second time ordering one and the remote didn’t work for either projectors. Did you have to sync it somehow?

[@livedavid2]

Make sure the back cover on the remote is fully snapped on. Mine would not respond to the down directional arrow. Had to snap the cover on better. That worked, but the remote still seems unresponsive sometimes. Definitely the weak point of an otherwise surprisingly good little budget unit.

[@AlexShadow500]

Hello! If I wanted to do rear projection on a supported screen, does the VANKYO 510 have the ability to flip the image?

The gaming reviews I’ve seen say the lag isn’t really noticeable, I ordered one on amazon today so I hope they were right lol. I believe the input lag will be similar to a budget 4K tv in the 15-20ms input lag range

[@kaskenova]

@@IMking20 since this has been 2 weeks ago I'm wondering if you have the answer? Also wondering if sport games like football or basketball are okay on this.

[@IMking20]

Brecht Wilms The lag isn’t bad at all. Racing games will be the most noticeable for you due to all the turning and brake timing probably, but I’ve been playing Destiny 2 & COD blackout with no lag issues. The screen size is ridiculous so I have no regrets. Graphics aren’t bad either using a PS4 pro. Just noticed you said sport games not racing LOL you should be fine with sport games too though

[@Beatbyawhiteboy]

This is a budget projector.. You can only move it back to enlarge.

[@CoroaEntertainment]

There's an option in the menu for a "digital" zoom, but all that does is zoom in on the projected image (it basically cuts off the top/bottom of the video if you use it). If you want to zoom this projector (and not just cut off the top/boom as the digital zoom does), you have to do it the old fashioned way, by physically moving the whole projector closer/farther away from the screen you're using.
