Vankyo V600 In-Depth Review | Budget 1080P Projector | $250 Amazon

[@evansworkspace]

bro i just wanna say thank you. most reviews on projectors don't go through this level of thoroughness. i salute you king

[@twistiv]

Jesus, that unboxing was fantasitic

[@DiskoKDiskoL]

Looked like howtobasic. I expected flying eggs and baseball bats.

[@vankyo2027]

lol I think so

[@Zots_OMT]

Love the into how you show every angel of the project came in handy! Keep up the good work my dude!

[@rhinogear]

Best unboxing Ive seen yet! Precise, quick, to the point. TY!

[@vankyo2027]

Thanks

[@GamerDan89]

Great Video! I bought it too. Try this out: Aspect ratio "point to point" and check out the contrast set to 60, brightness 46 and sharpness 60. I figured out that in ptp you get a much more accurate color space out of this little beast. My red have been pink a lot of times. After changing that, it got fixed! It adds much more shadow details to the picture and still got its deep blacks ;)

[@rh6777]

Wow, this has been perfect...I was pulling my hair out with settings, thanks! Any suggestions for colour adjustments? Appreciated!

[@stevenparker8163]

This reply needs sticking to the top of this! Absolute game changer, no longer do my reds look pink. Honestly, thanks so much.

[@rh6777]

@@stevenparker8163 yep, agreed!

[@owaing]

Many thanks for this! TL;DR: Aspect Ratio "Point to Point". Picture Mode "User" Contrast: 37, Brightness 53. Color Temperature "User" R: 63, G:40, B: 70. The "Point to Point" mode is totally undocumented in the manual, and the actual Aspect Ratio stays the same as "Just Scan", so no idea why it's in that menu, also it doesn't appear at all until you scroll past "Just Scan" to the next page! But as you say, it completely changes the contrast/colour response, and better yet it no longer blows out the bright highlights, nor lose details in the dark areas. This is the only mode where you can achieve this. I used AVS HD 709 to calibrate mine in "Point to Point" mode, and my settings came out at: Contrast 37, Brightness 53. Colour and Sharpness I left at 50. (I'm not sure Sharpness does anything in "Point to Point" mode, I couldn't see any difference between 0 and 100. Also in "Point to Point" mode the Noise Reduction option is disabled.) Then also for Colour Temperature: User, R: 63 G: 40 B:70. Set like this the picture is very good indeed with excellent colour reproduction, and fine detail in dark and bright areas. Of course, there's quite a bit of variability between units, and screen/wall colours, ambient lighting, etc. but these settings should be a decent starting point.

[@olentennery7359]

Nice review! I’ve been in the market for a good quality low budget project for a while now. But most budget projects are misleading and don’t get good reviews. However I stumbled across this one today. And have already seen over a dozen reviews on this. It’s has had all positive feedback and everyone has recommended it. I just ordered mine off Amazon about 2 hours ago. Should be here by Thursday. Really looking forward to trying it out. Thanks so much for sharing :)

[@Proteinpapi210]

Olen Tennery how you like the projector? I mounted mine so far so good

[@olentennery7359]

I absolutely love it. Only had it 2 days and I’m impressed. I was scetchy at first about it having 5,000 Lumens. There is so many misleading information about Lumens on budget projectors. But after I put it in a heavy lite room and it still had a ok picture I was definitely very into it. I’ve got it on a Projector Stand and it’s doing great. Sound quality is not bad but I have it hooked up to a nice Samsung All in one sound bar. It’s probably the best $250 I ever spent on a device!

[@Proteinpapi210]

@@olentennery7359 That's good man, I have mine running to a sony 7.1 dts 4k receiver with Onkyo thx speakers, the fan noise is noticeable but it's much quieter than my old projector so definitely no complaint! I'm glad I went the budget route and found this bad boy! maybe down the road ill upgrade to an actual 4k projector and utilize this one for outside viewing parties.

Thanks

how many hours were you able to game on it before it had to take a break?

[@johnjacobjingleheimershmidt]

Dude you are wayyyyy too underrated! Thanks for the info.

[@k1ngk0ng1986]

The screen looks uneven.(right side larger) It’s probably the reason the right side looks blurry and the left side is fine. You need to turn the projector left a bit. Use a measuring tape to make sure the left and right side vertical measurements are the same. Awesome review btw! The only review that actually shows refresh rate. Do you happen to know what the input lag and response time of the projector? I’ve been trying to search for the info online, but couldn’t find any.

[@LifeKommando]

The wall has kind of a slightly steper angle going inwards for the right side its just not flat. As for the numbers they are provably no where to be found unless tested. Maybe i can test it against a set of monitors and see which ones match up lol. But none the less pretty great mouse responsiveness. Since controllers have the power to mask lag some how for TVs

[@eat.travel.play.5947]

Thank you. Its on amazon for $200 at this moment.

[@WiiNV]

Jedx M18 is the same device and can be found for considerably less!

[@LifeKommando]

Looks like you are right, I remember seeing a similar design a while ago. Found one of them on Gearbest www.gearbest.com/projectors/pp_009416088396.html?wid=1433363&lkid=41858323 But not everyone is willing to order overseas sometimes if they have amazon access But the price difference is enough, will see if Vankyo has responds to this comment, maybe they have done some changes on the inside

[@cbw4sho]

WiiNV, There are a few differences between the V600 and Jedx M18. The V600: 5000 LUX to Jedx M18 3000 Lumens, Contrast Ration: V600: 5000:1 vs Jedx M18: 1000:1 (which is less than Vankyo's bottom line projector the Leisure 3) So that may be the best comparison here. I just don't want people to be misled by the appearance of the two.

[@WiiNV]

@@cbw4sho Still penty of other rebranded M18's by other companies with equal spec going cheaper!

[@danieljoyce4844]

i have this projector and it works great with my custom alr silver screen

[@nfm.1707]

Very good video, liked it very much! How far away was the projektor from the wall? Would really like to know because I plan in maybe buying it

[@LifeKommando]

About 2-2.5 meters

[@filmkatonakino]

what color calibration did you choose?

[@rodneyking4183]

This was a great video though, you went through everything and showed us exactly what you get for $250 and I greatly appreciate the time you took to do this for us. I gave you a LIKE and I even hit the subscribe button just to help as much as I could. I will even go back and turned off Ad Remover and watched this whole video with that off. But Optoma is one the best projectors. I have tried a few other brands and for the $500 to $850 range this is the best. Stay away from 3LCD, the colors look weird, (sorry Epson) stay with DLP if you want that TV look without the thousands and thousands of dollars to get anything bigger than a 70 inch.

[@LifeKommando]

Thanks, yea projectors are becoming cheap and way better. The low end or even mid tear brand names are great now. Its worth paying for a good projector, maybe I will try and see if I can review a brand name projector in the future once i clear my backlog.

Wheres the power slot/ cord?

[@MrAWGlossop]

A question on these budget projectors: Do they have to be set centrally to get a square image, or do they correct the image if off-set?

[@LifeKommando]

You can set it to the right aspect ratio if its square (4:3)

[@MrAWGlossop]

@@LifeKommando Thanks for reply, but I guess I didn't explain myself properly! What I mean is: If I want the projector in the corner of the room, and project the image at an angle onto the wall, can I adjust the picture so it is perfectly rectangular?

[@LifeKommando]

@@MrAWGlossop I dont think so, i recently compared the V630 in my latest video and the V630 has that feature

[@LifeKommando]

But the focus is probably going to be bad at such an extreme angle, but I dont know what your room layout is like so it might be just ok

[@ricardomunoz2010]

I just bought this. I saw some reviewers had technical issues like video/audio cutting out or complete loss. And some lcd's burning out creating large spots in the projected image. These occur after days, weeks or months of usage. So how is your projector functioning today?

[@JS-cb7rx]

Any suggestion for a pop up screen for outdoor using this unit? I saw elite Yard 2 on Amazon. Also any reason to get this over the 510?

[@LifeKommando]

The Elite Screens i want to try and review once i am back from my trip. The only reason you would get the one in the video is for its price and flexibility if you have trees in the right place to tie it. Reasons to get the yard 2 elite are for its multilayer material. Included metal frame. And how it reflects light properly to get clean colors without bleed and things should overall have better black levels and more clarity. Otherwise i would try and invest in a good screen in the end its what will make the biggest difference Hope this helps

[@chambagames8122]

is 60hz the max refresh rate?

[@AndyTomT]

Nice editing. No bs!

[@andrewskaterrr]

So I was looking at buying this last week. I saw two Amazon reviews that said that the video processor could not keep up even with 24fps video and drop below. Did you have this issue? It’s possible they got faulty models. Also I was looking at buying it and putting a Noctua fan in so I’d like to see that. I ended up buying a used BenQ HT1070a for $300 with 20hr on the bulb and no remote ($20)

[@LifeKommando]

Yea as I have mentioned in the video i dont recommend using the built in player. Always use a dedicated tv media box of Some sort for any standard projector.

[@andrewskaterrr]

Life Kommando oh ok, so you only saw it when using SD/USB playback. Ok that clears it up. You should totally do a fan replacement or open it up so I can see if it’s possible. No one has made a fan replacement post that I can find. Judging by the grill It looks like it uses a 92mm fan

[@LifeKommando]

It also sounds like a blower style fan so it may make things tricky. But wont be able to do it till i am back from my trip

[@andrewskaterrr]

Life Kommando that’s cool. I subbed so I’ll keep an eye out. I’d like to recommend these projectors and fan replacement would be a big bonus

[@caseyodom7257]

Is this thing decent for gaming?

[@LifeKommando]

Yes in the video I show and talk about that.

[@WeebLabs]

Based upon the desktop demonstration, I count six frames of input latency. That would be 100ms at 60Hz, which is equivalent to a very slow TV and would not be particularly usable for FPS titles. For many users, that is actually significantly greater than the latency between their game client and the server.

[@doms6741]

My room is only 2m wide. Is that enough?

You can work with that, you will just end up with a smaller image but a much higher quality & brighter image overall

Vankyo sells more newer models in USA and old outdated garbage models in Canada. Example V700 or V630W or VF630T or VF620T (Newer models) are sold only in USA and not in Canada. What a partiality service that is Vankyo ???? By this Canadian customers are forced to only buy outdated models. I didnot buy V630 for its very high fan noise. Many had complaints with V630 for its fan noise.
