WEMAX Nova 4K UHD Ultra Short Throw Smart Laser Projector - Android TV - HDR10 150 Inch Projection - UST Laser TV for Movies, Video, Gaming - Voice Command Remote - Projectors with WiFi Bluetooth

Overall this is an exceptional short throw projector for those that have the space and are thinking of getting rid of their TV. Straight out of the box, product quality is clear to see. It feels like a high-end piece of equipment, which for $2000+ it is, but in the land of ultra short throws it really isn't. I've never had a VAVA to compare it to but I know it's more compact and a nicer looking box. Everything feels quality. One small thing, is I wish it had a source button on the remote, so that I didn't have to access my Fire TV through the menus. I used this on a plain white wall and I have to say picture quality was excellent. You do get a wave at the top though if you have any imperfections in your wall. No way near as unwatchable and scary as people led me to believe with these delicate lasers though. My wall is very uneven and the picture was still exceptional. Colors pop, brightness really good. It's nowhere near as bright as the Bomaker Polaris, but that thing is like the sun when it starts up - practically blinds you. Sound through my soundbar was good also, and plenty good enough without. Make no mistake, this is an excellent projector and generally available for at least $500 less than the VAVA so I think it's the better buy. The real thing that tips it over the edge though is the customer service. OUTSTANDING! Unlike Bomaker, who never replied to my messages, the guys and girls at Wemax are just on it. They reply super fast, are extremely knowledgable and hunt down answers to questions they don't know, like their lives depended on it. Honestly, I've never been more impressed with customer service than this one. Which is a huge concern when buying high-tech equipment. VAVA responded to my questions too, but nothing like these guys. They were superheroes. It's also great to know that were something to go wrong, I can send it off to them in the US (I believe California) and they will repair it and ship it back free of charge. No sending it over to China to get it fixed, no uncertainty, no costs. That's huge. In short, a few little nitpicky things. The remote as I said, woulda been nice to have a few more customisable options in terms of picture settings. But for sheer plug-in and play this thing is a beast. You won't be disappointed!

This is the fourth projector I have owned over the past 6 years, and the Nova out ranks all of them as the best of all of them. Pros: 25000 laser life – this is absolutely a godsend for heavy use. Most people don’t realize how much of a pain it is to replace bulbs every year and Nova's laser life span is truly above the mark. The ultra short throw makes installation a lot more clean and convenient. Not to mention you don't have the clutter of a large TV. The sound quality is really quite good for an integrated setup, but I have a high end system already. Pciture Quality - Absolutely beautiful. The colors are very vivid even in lower power setting, which looks great to the typical user but might be a bit over saturated for people who prefer a more realistic images. You have the option to tweak with the settings for a more realistic tone. Big time wow factor right out of the box. Cons: Many of the apps are those I haven't heard of, and typing on the remote can become somewhat of a pain. A streaming device like Apple TV or Fire TV is highly recommended - which you'll need if you want Netflix. I get netflix from my cable box so it doesn't bother me, but it might to some. Summary: As I mentioned, this is a very good projector out of the many I've owned. From Optima, to Anker (this is the second laser projector) this is by far and large miles ahead of all others. The picture quality you will be getting is like moving up from a 4 cylinder to a V12 engine.

I’ve been using this projector for about a year now. It has a great picture but there are a lot of things I don’t like about it. I’m using a Marantz 11.2 channel receiver with it and if I use the smart features of the projector (Home Screen), I can only hook it up to the receiver for sound with a fiber optic cable. Also, whenever I try to switch the input, the projector doesn’t read the input most times and I have to constantly restart the projector. When I bought it, I thought it was a good price for a 4K projector but if I could do it again, I’d buy a different brand. If I was able to return this projector, I would. There are so many glitches. Also, it’s hard to use the key correction to align the screen. This is not my first ultra short throw projector. No matter how close/far I put the projector, I can’t fill the screen and my screen is 128”. This projector has a max of 150”. For a $2000 projector, I just thought it would be better. My personal opinion would be to keep looking for a better projector. There are so many now for around the same price. A lot of more well know projectors that are 4K and affordable now too. If WEMAX sees this review, is there anyway I can return or exchange this projector? The HDMIs not reading inputs is really annoying and I’ve tested it with another projector and I don’t have the issue so it has to be the WEMAX. Update- this projector is garbage. It doesn’t connect to any inputs. I spent well over $10k on home theater and it never connects to any selected input. Don’t waste your money on this projector. There are so many actual 4K projectors, long and short through that are so much better and a lot of them are way cheaper than this one. I’ve updated my review to 1 star because that’s the minimum I can give. This thing is useless.

I’ve been using this projector for just over a year now and I really like it. I bought it because initially I had limited space for the projector and wanted an ultrashort projector and this item was slightly cheaper than VAVA and other brands. I should say the brand is kind of confusing because although it says WeMax, almost nowhere else you’ll see that brand and you’ll see Huawi are over the place. The operating system is Google OS which I have conflicting feelings toward it (don’t really like it but it’s easy to use, I personally use my Roku). The setup is relatively straightforward, keystone and focus corrections are easy and pretty user-friendly 8/10 . I have thrown the picture over a huge white wall and on a screen, both had very good qualities but in bright sunlight, the screen is much better. I haven’t bought a fancy screen yet and therefore, unfortunately there’s some wavyness on the screen which is the downside of laser projectors 7/10. As far as picture quality, I haven’t compared it to other ultrashort projectors but comparing to conventional projectors, it’s definitely far better and almost identical to a real movie theatre 9/10. Sound quality is excellent, it’s quite deep and loud but it’s not Dolby and obviously you’d need a home theatre for that 8/10. The ability to use it as a Bluetooth speaker is a plus. Overall although this projector is expensive but I’d recommend it if you’re a cinephile 8/10.

Had this projector for about a week now. Let me get this out of the way first, I LOVE this projector! With that said, here are my notes for considering the WeMax Nova: 1. SETUP PROCESS: The Nova itself is very easy to setup and prompted guide helps you tune the specs. It is easy to "fine tune" the picture using the keystone correction in the menu. 2. IMAGE QUALITY: The picture is excellent, contrast is very good, colors are vibrant and image is crisp & sharp. With any laser projector, you should expect deeper colors, but the Nova is very even across a wide color spectrum. You definitely get darker darks, whiter whites, and it lends well for a crisp image quality. 3. SOUND QUALITY: The Nova comes with an excellent soundbar, and sounds significantly better than previous TVs i've owned. I'll admit, I only listened to it for a few minutes before plugging in my surround sound system. 4. FAN NOISE: In standard picture mode, the fans run at a very low speed - I don't really notice them at all. When I set picture brightness to "high", the fans spin up and are a little more noticeable, but not excessively like it's about to take off. If you're watching anything even at low volume, it's not going to be noticeable. SUGGESTIONS/IMPROVEMENTS: A. REMOTE CONTROL: The Nova comes with a bluetooth remote, which is just fine for me and works as you'd expect. I'd like for it to be integrated with smarthome devices like Alexa and Google Home. This would be preferred because of how I've setup my home - so this critique may only apply to me. I'm still researching what solutions are out there. B. INPUT MODE: The Nova has an input option in settings, which allows us to select Five TV or other contents input. However, it resets once turned off. So every time you power the Nova "on", you need to go to settings and select again. CONCLUSION: As stated, overall, this projector has exceeded expectations and comes highly recommended. Compared to other brands, the Nova is definitely a better bargain for the quality of projector that you are getting. The only one that comes close to performance is maybe the Optoma, but also comes at a greater cost. Upgrading to a laser projector is definitely an investment, but you likely have some idea of what you're getting yourself into. The difference between a standard LED TV and this projector is night and day. If you're looking to make that leap, this is definitely the projector you want to choose...and a screen is highly recommended!
