INTRODUCTION

   Even though nowadays my free time is very limited and so even watching a movie is not something i do a lot that wasn't always the case and so i used to spend lots of money on TV sets. For good or bad however even though i had many TV sets over the years i only used but a single Full HD projector back in 2016 (mid-end model) the results of which left me somewhat disappointed. That being said i was clearly not oblivious to the fact that if one was willing to spend quite a bit on both a good projector and a good screen results could be overwhelming (and i didn't spend that much on a screen). Well, it's been 6+ years since then so i decided to see what the current state of technology is and whether or not people on a budget can enjoy watching their favourite movies, series and shows on 100"+ screens and to do that with me i have two of the latest Native Full HD projectors by Vankyo, the Leisure 470 Pro and Leisure 495W.

   Since its creation in 2017, Vankyo’s story has always been about innovation. As one of the most trustworthy projector brands, Vankyo is focused on delivering immersive, fantastic, and exciting visual feasts to people worldwide. While that innovation lies at the core of our business, it has transformed into our mission to empower people to explore and enjoy a better life.

As our work continues to evolve, we stay focused on delivering prime products and services to customers across the globe.

   Even though both the Leisure 470 Pro and Leisure 495W are LED projectors sporting a Native resolution of 1920x1080p (Full HD - 576i/720P/1080i/1080P are also supported) the former features a contrast ratio of 600:1 with a maximum brightness of 170 lumens whereas the latter features a contrast ratio of 1000:1 with a maximum brightness of 220 lumens. Both projectors can also be installed in various locations (Front/Rear/Ceiling), support the same screen formats (4:3/16:9/Auto), come with the same 3W/4Ohm speaker (495W model also supports Dolby Audio), feature media playback capabilities (support AVI/MP4/MKV/FLV/MOV/RMVB/3GP/MPEG/H.264/XVID video formats, MP3/WMA/MP2/AAC/FLAC/PCM audio formats and BMP/JPG/PNG/JPEG photo formats), can be connected wirelessly to your smartphone for screen mirroring (WiFi for the 470 Pro and Wi-Fi 2.4/5GHz and Bluetooth v5.1 for the 495W) and have the same keystone adjustment of up to ±15° but the Leisure 470 Pro can output a screen of up to 250 inches whereas the 495W can output a screen of up to 220 inches. Both models are of course considered to be entry-level ones so the only question that really needs answering is whether or not they are ideal for introducing consumers to the world of video projection.
