A Closer Look

Out of the box, the Wemax Vogue Pro looks really clean. Sharp, straight edges with a centered power button result in a simple but effective design. While other devices aim to stay clear of such pronounced edges, considering the size and usage environment as a stationary unit, this works just fine for the Vogue Pro. The projector clocks in at just above 3.5 kg, which feels quite hefty as it is only 200 x 200 x 148 mm in size.


In the front is the lens and a speaker grille which houses the two 10-watt speakers. In the rear is the I/O and power plug. Interestingly, Wemax put the ports at the top edge of the unit instead of the bottom. The square power button on the top of the Wemax Vogue Pro is quite prominent and lights up in a gentle white.


Both sides of the device have large air vents designed to blend into the housing nicely. With a rated operating noise of <28 dBA, the Wemax Vogue Pro will most likely be rather quiet in use as well.


Four feet and a mounting spot are on the underside, so you may hang it from the ceiling or utilize a tripod. Unfortunately, none of the feet are height-adjustable, which would have been useful, especially for the front pair.


The lens of the Vogue Pro is actually placed behind a protective glass pane. This is unique as most brands opt not do so, fearing to trap dust inside the housing. In our sample, things are clean, so that seems to be a non-issue. A 4-channel LED setup is used as a light & image source, which is different than the LED based DLP most other brands go for. It has the advantage of potentially better blacks and colors, but also tends to be less bright than LED based DLP. A small camera is used for the automatic setup of such elements as object detection for a usable image with as little manual tweaking as possible. Lastly, in the rear, the I/O consists of a pair of HDMI 2.1, of which one is ARC capable. Next to those are two USB 2.0 connectors, a headphone jack, digital output, and an Ethernet port. Non-wired connectivity for wireless networks and Bluetooth round things off.
