The projector industry is heating up with the introduction of many new products, including high-resolution, gaming, and compact models. Recently, there are many things that can be done with a projector, such as gaming and video streaming services, so having one in the house will improve the quality of life. So, for those who say, "There are so many products that I don't know what to choose...", we would like to introduce you to the HVAC industry! For those of you who are thinking, "There are so many products that I don't know what to choose," we would like to introduce the " Dangbei DBOX02," a high-end projector developed by Hangzhou Dangbei Network Technology Co. We were kindly given the opportunity to try it out, so here is a preliminary review!
Dangbei、最大200インチ投射の4K対応ホームプロジェクター「Mars Pro」をレビュー！昼夜問わず最高のパフォーマンスを発揮するハイエンドモデル
Dangbei's brightest ever "Dangbei DBOX02".
The design is as of the time of the preliminary review. May differ after release.
Dangbei has a number of projectors in the pipeline, including the Mars Pro, a 4K home projector with a maximum 200-inch screen, and the Emotn N1, an officially licensed Netflix projector. On Tuesday, May 28, 2024, Dangbei launched the "Dangbei DBOX02", the brightest projector in Dangbei's history!
Saiga NAKDong!
The "Dangbei DBOX02" comes in a square box, and according to Dangbei, it is the world's first 4K laser projector with Netflix-approved Google TV.
Saiga NAKThe Dangbei DBOX02 is a 4K laser projector with a remote control, power supply, cleaning cloth, and paper. It is very simple.
Saiga NAKThe remote control is equipped with Google TV, so there is a Google Assistant button on the remote control. There are hotkeys for YouTube, Netflix, and Prime Video.
Saiga NAKLet's take a 360-degree look at the Dangbei DBOX02!
On the front is a large lens and camera sensor. The lens projects the image and the camera assists with focus and trapezoid correction.
The right side has small holes for vents almost all over, and the Dolby Audio symbol. "Dangbei DBOX02" has dual 12W built-in speakers with Dolby Audio and ...
DTS:X is supported. So, there is a large vent with a collection of small holes on the left side. Do not block them with objects or walls when in operation.
Saiga NAKOn the back, various I/O ports are provided along the seamless ventilation openings. From left to right...
- 3.5mm audio jack
- USB 2.0
- USB 2.0
- HDMI (eARC)
- HDMI (eARC)
- S/PDIF
- LAN
- Power input
The layout is as follows. If you prepare an eARC-compatible sound bar, you can build your dream home theater!
Saiga NAKOn the bottom, there are four feet and a socket for a PTZ bracket. If you purchase a stand (sold separately), it can be installed high off the ground or suspended.
Saiga NAKAnd on the top is a light sensor and LED power button that is also used to adjust the brightness. Connect the power adapter and touch the button to power on!
Saiga NAKDangbei...
Saiga NAKGoogle TV
Saiga NAKDangbei's best ever 2450 ISO lumens... bang! The "Dangbei DBOX02" makes it easy to enjoy the big screen right from the start.
Access to various video streaming services such as "Netflix", "YouTube", "ABEMA", "TVer", etc. is also easy! Wired and Wi-Fi connections are supported.
Saiga NAKThe Dangbei DBOX02 is Dangbei's new flagship model, so its performance is top-notch. Automatic trapezoidal correction is available up to plus or minus 30 degrees.
Saiga NAKAuto focus and manual focus are also available. The recommended projection size is 80 to 120 inches, but it can be used for projection sizes from 60 to 200 inches.
Saiga NAKThis time we could only project up to about 150 inches due to the wall, but we did not notice any roughness in the image at all. 4K resolution is not a feat.
Projection size and distance
- 80 inches (177cm x 100cm): 2.2m
- 100" (221cm x 124cm): 2.8m
- 120" (265cm x 149cm): 3.37m
- 150" (332cm x 187cm): 4.2m
Saiga NAKWe recently welcomed MSI's "Claw A1M" to the Saiga NAK editorial team, and we're going to try connecting it via Type-C to an HDMI connection!
"Intel inside"MSI's portable gaming PC Claw A1M hands on
Saiga NAKThe dragon on the big screen looks cool! The "Claw A1M" has the advantage of being portable, but you want to enjoy it on the big screen at home.
Saiga NAKPressing the side button on the remote control allows you to quickly set focus, correction, speaker mode, and other settings.
Saiga NAKThe advanced settings include a feature called "Smart Eye Protection"...
Saiga NAKThe brightness is reduced when obstacles such as people are detected in the projection area.
Saiga NAKThis is a smart and helpful feature since the light from the projector should never be looked directly at.
Saiga NAKThe "One-Click File Delete" function intentionally raises the fan speed to remove dust from the unit. The misprint of "file deletion" is amusing.
Saiga NAKI didn't notice it until the "One-Click File Delete" function was used to raise the fan speed, but the "Dangbei DBOX02" is very quiet during normal operation. The " Mars Pro ", another high-end model that we introduced previously, had noticeable heat generation and accompanying fan rotation, so we think this makes a big difference in a subtle way.
Saiga NAKDangbei's new flagship model "Dangbei DBOX02" will be released on Tuesday, May 28, 2024! It will be available at Amazon.co.jp,Rakuten Ichiba, Yodobashi Camera, Bic Camera, Yamada Denki, and other electronics retailers. At 269,800 yen (tax included ), the price is commensurate with a high-end model, but considering that a 100-inch TV costs about 1 million yen...it is extremely cheap!
The " Dangbei DBOX02" is definitely an option for those who want to build a home theater.
