VAVA vs Wemax Nova The Battle of 4k UST Laser Projectors

[@daniel.torrence]

You did not mention anything about the fan noise? Thanks for the comparison.

[@stevelaminack1516]

Thanks for the review, I like the Wemax a little better than the Vava but I would really like to have 3D.

[@OrtodontiaOrtopedia]

Please, is it worth spending twice as much and buying the Nexigo Aurora Pro?

[@cryptli5698]

The Wemax Nova looks identical to the Fengmi Cinema 4k are they? And the Vava looks is identiacal the Wemax A300?

[@duboisad]

Is the motion blur at 4:40 from the projector or due to the camera? Cuz that looks.....baaaad.

[@islaoconnor-lu7728]

This was super useful. The Vava brightness content seemed to be tuned to the red direction - was that using a preset or were both tuned to behave identically? It was hard to tell how much of the "brightness" was actually just richer reds (warm?)

[@MichelleAlexandria-EM]

I want a UST. But is there a UST that has multi angle Keystone capability were I can move the image up and down, left to right so I can actually get it onto my screen without having to put the projector at weird angles? Are there any 4K projectors that do this? I’ve tried 3 different projectors and can’t find one that positions properly on my wall they all are way too high.

[@nujxad]

How many inches above the projector does it project the image on the screen for 100 inches?

[@davidsinclair8740]

I actually tried to buy a VAVA but they don’t deliver or ship to Canada. My other option was to order from Amazon but it would have cost an extra $740 for shipping so I went with the Wemax 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@ericjmasters]

What kind of screen. Did you use.

[@prkeene]

Thanks for the review and comparison. I have a big bonus room that can handle a 100"-110" screen. Wemax is looking like the no-brainer choice for me. The price difference is almost enough to cover the cost of a 100" CLR screen. The built-in Android TV also simplifies the setup and keeps all the HDMI ports free for a UHD BD player, a game console and the ARC port.

[@kassimkamaldeen8779]

How do I buy one from you, I believe it will be cheaper after being used for review

[@stevedixon2920]

The vava (one on the right?), seemed to have more color range. The image with the light in the dark space was more yellow, more contrast, the outdoor scenes seemed to be less washed out. Might look different in person though (could be the footage). Looking forward to the future of this stuff, still gotta save up for it.

[@benjiebarker]

Does the wemax have electronic focus and 8 pioint screen adjustment?

[@JoelsterG4k]

Yes it does.

[@IvanRubin]

I play mostly single player games. I’ve seen your video for the benq tk700sti. But in this video both these projectors look sharper and crisper and the colors look better then the benq. I know you mentioned the benq was brighter. But honestly what do you think ? These two or the benq tk700sti?? Thanks Joelster!

[@JoelsterG4k]

Well, it all depends on the space you have, the BenQ TK700STi is 4k and it is sharp and colorful and it is better for gaming and 3D movies and it is also cheaper, but if you have a small room or don't have enough space then an UST laser projector is the best option.

[@IvanRubin]

@@JoelsterG4k thanks fir the reply Joelster !

[@IvanRubin]

@@JoelsterG4k I think you helped me make up my mind I guess I’m buying the tk700sti!

[@osukais1]

It’s odd I got the projector and it makes my 1080p screen size much bigger than my 4k display screen size.as in my 1080p spills over edge but 4k stays well within the size I set.also wemax is very dark in game mode but that’s easily fix with brightness setting in the game itself.fill all my issues with 4k hdr in game mode because it is endeed very dark.also it won’t switch to hdmi input automatically.will make you want to kick the heck out of it.very very annoying.

[@yurarnd8135]

Bro help, what feels better for Warzone lg oled C1 or qn85 ? brightness , blooming and burn is not important to me, but responsiveness to control is important, I cant choose for ps5 😢

[@JoeSnuffyPC]

I would definitely recommend the LG Oled with game mode. I've owned both... LG Oled looks beautiful

[@yurarnd8135]

@@JoeSnuffyPC thanks, did you play warzone on both tvs? Is C1 better for shooters than qn85?

[@JoeSnuffyPC]

So as far as sound goes.. either of them won't run Dolby Atmos/vision? No e arc?

[@JoelsterG4k]

No, only HDR 😬.

[@rooster80]

[@joeydelmarsjr.646]

i would like for you to add and break down to each projectors to include there specs and compare

[@dpfreedman]

Inexplicably crazy sale on the Wemax Nova 4k projector until May 27, 2022. With code BBV1499 the price drops from $2700 to $1200! Even though I recently purchased a Fengmi R1 1080p projector (excellent so far), this Wemax deal was too good to pass up. My Nova should be delivered next Tuesday. I just hope mine doesn't suffer from the high pitched whine problem so many Novas seem to suffer from.

[@johndoe-dj3iy]

update? did it suffer coil whine?

[@dpfreedman]

@@johndoe-dj3iy Absolutely delighted to be able to report no discernible coil whine. Of course, it could be my hearing but no one else has noted the whine either. Very relieved. Something of a crapshoot, isn't it?

[@adharith]

Thank you for the review, honestly speaking which one will you go? VAVA or Wemax Nova in term of picture quality?

[@JoelsterG4k]

Both perform great, VAVA is a bit brighter but Nova has better black levels and colors look more natural out of the box plus is a lot cheaper now so I would go for the Wemax.

[@adharith]

@@JoelsterG4k Thank you so much for the information

[@chuckcooley59]

What's the fps on the wemax??? The PS5 runs 120fps is the wemax compatible with this

[@JoelsterG4k]

Both them are 4k60hz, no 120hz.

[@antwanwilliams1972]

Hey there jolster! Big fan of the channel and the content you produced. Keep up the good work. I was digging around on the net and came across the JMGO 01 Pro. This is the first UST I’ve ever seen that is priced at $1000. I would like to know if you have heard of this and ever seen one in your passing at trade shows? If so, what’s your thoughts? Thank you.

[@JoelsterG4k]

Hi, thanks for all the support brother, yes I have heard of it, there are 2 models, the O1 and the O1 pro, I will be reviewing them soon when they release the english OS version so stay tuned.

[@TheArtOfJerry]

The video i am looking for. Thanks bro. Detail comparison

[@Mika73x2]

Is this model same as Fengmi Formovie 4K ?

[@JoelsterG4k]

Yes they are from the same family, there are some subtle differences but the Wemax is designed for US customers.

[@curionion]

What is the sound bar that you use??

[@JoelsterG4k]

Actually i like the pic of Wemax little more then VAVA , Wemax the pic & colors more deeper pops & clear then VAVA in most scenes ...BUT this is NOT a fair comparing anyway VAVA is 2 years old Wemax just came out in 2021.... U should done comparing like between Wemax with that NEW BenQ just released instead this old VAVA ..is a REAL comparing would be Wemax with NEW VAVA CHROMA or maybe 2 VAVAS together, BUT THE REAL comparing is BETWEEN the VAVA CHROMA, NEW BENQ & This Wemax , that would be kick a-** comparing .. either way is good to know!

[@leongregorio]

Well by the time that i saw this video, WeMax has since increased the price on their Nova series, making it on par with the VAVA (currently on sale at 2500) 4k.

You didn't do justice to the VAVA. The projector is so good that it even edged out the big boys like LG and Epson's USTs of its category. Wemax Nova is good,but not anywhere near VAVA UST 4K.

Im just asking what specifically makes the VAVA worth a thousand more? 🤔 Bias or no Bias that's a lot of dough! Lol I have a large sound system so don't need the upgraded sound of the VAVA. The android built in seemed nice... smaller footprint. I'm seeing a lot of great things here are you sure you aren't just being close minded and fanboying the VAVA?
