Xming at the 2024 International CES showcased their latest smart projectors. The Episode One and Page One are aimed at mid-segment short-throw projection in a domestic environment, where you take advantage of its smart features to cut out the need for a HT receiver, and directly pair it with a Bluetooth speaker set. Episode One is at the entry level, with 250 CVIA Lumens brightness, Full HD (1080p) resolution, 1000:1 contrast ratio, and Google TV with Netflix. Page One is a step up from Episode One, and is claimed to be the world's first Google TV with Netflix certified projector. The Page One features a brighter 500 CVIA Lumens light source, superior photosensitive glass lenses, and is meant for screens as large as 120-inch. The resolution is still Full HD (1080p), but with 2000:1 contrast ratio. The projector encloses a pair of high-grade speakers by Boston Acoustics.

The Xming V1 is the company's flagship compact home projector series, powered by an S60 LCD engine, with the same Full 1080p resolution as the others, but with an 800 CVIA Lumens brightness, 2000:1 contrast ratio, the ability to throw onto 120-inch screens, and motion enhancement technologies.

TPU turned up for a second visit at Dangbei's demo room as things were wrapping at this week's Las Vegas trade show—where Vahid checked out the Chinese brand's flagship projectors. Their Mars Pro 2 model represents the "next dimension in 4K laser home cinema"—it offers 2450 lumens of performance, two 12 W DTS:X-enhanced speakers, and marks the debut of HDR10+ in a Dangbei home cinema projector. The Mars Pro 2 is also capable of producing three 3D modes.

The Dangbei X5 Ultra is another high-end 4K Ultra HD in the company's stable—it also is their first model to be fitted with a full-color LED hybrid light source system. The latest upgrade—ALPD 5.0 technology—assists in covering 110% of the BT.2020 color gamut with great accuracy, and to hit a maximum brightness of 2500 lumens. Integrated sound is produced by a pair of 12 W DTS:X-enhanced speakers. Dangbei is targeting an international launch this year, but buyers in their native market have already spent time with the X5 Ultra triple-laser projector.

Nexigo at the 2024 International CES showed off the Tri Vision Ultra, a portable projector with triple-color LED laser light sources; a projection technology usually reserved for larger projector form-factors, including the workhorse cinema DLPs you find in theaters. The Tri Vision Ultra meets ALPD 5.0 spec. It uses three independent LED light sources and projections for the RGB channels; the resulting output is comfortable for extended viewing. The Nexigo Tri Vision Ultra supports 4K Ultra HD, with 4 ms response time, and 60 Hz refresh rate; with 110% coverage of the BT.2020 color gamut. with ΔE being <1. HDR10 and Dolby Vision are supported. The projector has a maximum brightness of 2,500 ANSI Lumens, and is suitable for screens as large as 200-inch. Not that its target userbase needs it, but it also integrates 26 W RMS speakers. The Nexigo Tri-Vision Ultra just picked a CES Innovation Award, we can see why.

Formovie Technology, Chinese maker of laser TV and smart projectors, unveiled its latest innovations at CES 2024 this week. The company showcased several new projectors leveraging cutting-edge laser technology to deliver new visual experiences. The star of the Formovie lineup was the new Formovie Theatre 4K Triple-Laser UST Projector. As the world's first 4K ultra-short throw projector with triple laser technology, it produces a staggeringly bright 2800 ANSI lumens image with 3000:1 contrast ration at a spectacular 150-inch scale. Viewers can expect true-to-life colors and infinite contrast thanks to Formovie's advanced laser light source. The company touts the product as the world's 1st Dolby Vision & Atmos UST projector, which also features ALLM and MEMC for smoother gaming. The sound system is a bespoke work by Bowers & Wilkins. A few booth demos were available to paint the picture of the technology.

In addition, Formovie introduced the slim and portable Formovie S5 projector. Weighing only 6.5 pounds, it's an ultra-compact model ideal for on-the-go use. The S5 still outputs a bright 1100 ANSI lumens image with smooth 4K quality enabled by ALPD laser technology. Rounding out the product showcase, Formovie displayed the award-winning Formovie V10 home theater projector. Recently honored with a CES 2023 Innovation Award, the V10 stands out for its 240 Hz refresh rate, 12 ms low latency, and 2500 ANSI lumens brightness—making it a top choice for gaming and movies.

Chinese consumer electronics giant Hisense showcased its latest audio-visual innovations at the 2024 CES show in Las Vegas this week. The company unveiled massive, ultra-high-end televisions as well as advances in its Laser TV lineup. Headlining Hisense's CES showcase was the 110UX, a 110-inch television with 40,000 backlighting zones and a searing 10,000 nits peak brightness. With unmatched contrast and brightness, Hisense calls it one of the most impressive 100+ inch TVs ever made. Also on display was the 98UX, a 98-inch set capable of 144 Hz refresh rates alongside over 10,000 local dimming zones. Beyond these flagship models, Hisense also introduced its thinnest Mini LED TV to date - the 75UX. At just 14 millimeters thin, Hisense claims it sets a new industry benchmark for slim design without compromising picture quality.

Portable projectors specialist XGIMI brought several new innovations to the 2024 International CES. First up, is the Horizon Max, which the company claims is the world's first portable IMAX smart projector. This is an official IMAX licensed product, featuring a high-intensity dual lamp light source. The Horizon Max projects in the 1.9:1 and 1.43:1 aspect ratios, and is suitable for 100-inch screens, making it fit for home-theater setups, if you can find screens in this aspect ratio.

Next up, is the XGIMI Alladin. This thing looks like a downlight and a vacuum robot had a baby, but is actually a projector that you ceiling-mount in a room. It doubles up as a downlight, a Full HD smart projector capable of 100-inch screens across 8 ft, and a fairly powerful integrated speaker system that's backed with some clever spatial audio DSPs to give you the feel of surround sound.

The Dangbei Atom is barely the size of small, ultraportable projectors that tend to put out 200-400 ANSI Lumens, but don't be fooled by its size, its designers claim a maximum brightness of 1200 ISO Lumens (around 1500 ANSI Lumens)! It does so using a laser light source, and is able to project a Full HD display head onto a large 100-inch screen over a roughly 8-foot distance. The only drawback is that this isn't quite a portable projector, it lacks a battery, and you rely on a 12 V DC wall wart. 5 W stereo speakers make for the rest of it. Google TV comes pre-installed, so all your streaming apps from the Play Store just work. Besides Wi-Fi, the projector takes in an HDMI source, and a USB 2.0 (for mass storage). Dangbei is pricing the Atom at $899.

Anker and its constellation of lifestyle consumer electronics brands brought in a trove of new gear to the 2024 International CES. There's a lot to cover, and we begin with Nebula, a brand focused on portable audio and projectors. The Capsule 3 is a 6-inch tall cylindrical "pocket cinema" projector that's slightly larger than a portable speaker (it encloses one, too). Besides an 8 W Dolby Digital speaker set, it included a 52 Wh battery that can offer around 2.5 hours of playtime on battery power. It takes in USB-PD, and has a type-C USB port for power. The Capsule 3 throws a 200 ANSI Lumens beam as a DLP, with its lamp rated for 30,000 hours. The projector's resolution is Full HD (1080p), and is suitable for short-range projections (within 6 ft), with automatic keystone correction. Display inputs include HDMI, and playback from USB mass-storage devices. On the software side of things, the Capsule 3 packs Google TV, so all apps from the Play Store should work here.

Next up, we have the larger Nebula Mars 3 Air, a picnic basket-sized projector with a grab handle. This may be a Full HD DLP just like thew Capsule 3, but with double the brightness, of 400 ANSI Lumens, the same 8 W Dolby Digital speakers, and a 64.8 Wh battery for up to 2.5 hours of playback (more if you reduce the brightness). The higher brightness means that you can project onto larger screens, around the 80-inch to 100-inch range, from a distance of roughly 8 ft. The connectivity options and software loadout is exactly the same as the one on the Capsule 3. Available for pre-order, the Capsule 3 is priced at $549, and the Mars 3 Air at $599.

Samsung Display at the 2024 International CES showed off its latest Freestyle line of projectors. You can have these set up on the floor, or have them mounted on the ceiling, with the device automatically correcting the keystone (tilt in the projection). You can also have it paired with a battery base that aligns almost flush with the base of the Freestyle. Other accessories include a canister that lets you safely transport it, a frosty white lens cover, and a lightbulb socket adapter. As a projector, you get a short-through Full HD output up to 8.8 feet away, for screens as large as 100-inch. This is a smart projector, and is backed by a Samsung in-house OS based on Android, which comes with Bixby AI voice assistant. On our way out of the brief stroll in this pre-CES booth, we also spied Music Frame, which is quite literally a square photo frame with an in-built Bluetooth speaker set.

LG Display at the 2024 International CES showed off its artisan CineBeam Qube projector. This 4K Ultra HD DLP is suitable for screen sizes ranging between 50-inch to 120-inch, and uses a powerful RGB laser light source, with a 450,000:1 contrast ratio, and 500 ANSI Lumens brightness. Its membrane offers 154% coverage of DCI-P3 color gamut. Sweetening the deal is the full LG WebOS smart TV feature set, so the CineBeam Qube, an Internet connection over Wi-Fi, and a bunch of streaming service subscriptions, are all you need. The projector takes in HDMI and USB-C inputs, and a digital audio passthrough, so you can connect it to your sound system. The UltraGear G9GS95QE is a gorgeous 39-inch curved gaming monitor with a steep 800R curvature, a UWQHD (3440 x 1440 pixels) resolution, and a solid 240 Hz refresh rate, along with 0.03 ms (GTG) response time. The monitor meets VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400 specs.

LG Electronics (LG) is introducing its latest lifestyle projector, the unique LG CineBeam Qube (model HU710PB). The new 4K model can quickly transform an indoor space into a movie theater and features a compact and light design with a convenient 360-degree rotatable handle. LG's projection solution also serves as a stylish interior accessory, its eye-catching minimalist aesthetic adding a touch of modern sophistication to the room.

Although one of the smallest projectors available, LG CineBeam Qube is a powerful performer, capable of projecting 4K UHD (3,840 x 2,160) resolution images measuring up to 120 inches. Equipped with an RGB laser light source and LG's cutting-edge image refining technologies, the new model delivers exceptionally clear, sharp pictures boasting a 450,000:1 contrast ratio and 154 percent coverage of the DCI-P3 color gamut.
