Wemax Go Pro Portable ALDP Projector Review

Performance & Use »

Setup


One of the big drawbacks of the non-Pro projector was that it does not offer auto-focus or any keystone functionality. The Wemax Go Pro provides a very effective auto-focus that kicks in during the initial setup or may be triggered by the user at any time. On top of that, it manages to keystone pretty well, and its obstacle avoidance works most of the time, too. You may also tune the keystone through four points yourself, which is nice, but not quite as good as the eight-point ones on other products out there.


To connect the Wemax Go Pro to your wireless internet, you are provided with the classic Android interface where you first pick the network and then enter the password using the onscreen keyboard. This is essentially the de facto standard for non-Android TV or Google TV devices that utilize their own UI on top of a generic Android system and works just fine.

Settings

Image Settings


Usually, portable projectors don't offer many image-adjustment options. The Wemax Go Pro, however, goes all the way by giving you access to all kinds of adjustment possibilities, so those looking for the best-possible image quality can tweak to their heart's content. On top of that, Wemax had the simple but brilliant idea to use the right half of the screen to gently cycle through various colorful scenes so that you can see the real-time effect your changes have on those test images.


On top of that, you also get some detailed access to the unit's focus and keystone setup. Thus, the level of image control Wemax provides for the Go Pro is excellent.

Sound Settings


You may adjust the sound the Wemax Go Pro provides using several presets found under a setting called "Wanos Sound." That said, I am not clear on how these really affect the audio in a tangible fashion. To me, it would have been more intuitive to have an EQ to adjust freely instead.

General Settings


You will also find a general settings section with all the usual security aspects and the ability to change the main menu wallpaper and adjust what the Wemax Go Pro does upon start-up.

About Settings


Wemax also provides a surprisingly easy way to figure out the brains of the Go Pro. There is a setting under "About" which shows you that it is running on Android 9 utilizing an Amlogic T972-H alongside 2 GB memory and 16 GB storage. Included also is an informative screen on the storage state of your device, ability to update the OS via the cloud, and further technical information, like the current network setup.

Other Settings


We have three options under the more ambiguous entry "Interconnections"; one to let you know which remote is connected, a microphone test app, and the ability to adjust the wireless speaker mode. My guess is that this last setting is for multiple Bluetooth speakers and how they could be combined to form a single, multi-channel audio setup.
