INTRODUCTION

   Unlike regular TVs which people tend to pick based on size, resolution and of course cost projectors require extra steps. Yes, you still choose them based on resolution, size (both in regards to the projector itself and the projected screen) and cost but on top of that you also need to take into account the distance between the projector and the screen, various projection features which make it easier for the end user and even the type of screen itself (surface quality, installation). So even though long throw (standard) models are ideal when you have over 2-3 meters (6+ feet) between the projector and the screen short-throw and even ultra-short throw models are ideal for distances way less than 2 meters. The updated version of the Vogue Pro called the Vogue 100 Smart Projector (M135FGE-Pro) is the latest long-throw projector model from WEMAX and this is what today's review is all about.

   Just like with the Dice Mini Projector again by WEMAX the new Vogue 100 Smart Projector (Vogue Pro) is also based on a four-channel (RGB+BP) TI-DLP technology (0.47" DMD) thanks to which it delivers Full HD (1080p) resolution (4k@60Hz max supported) together with an NTSC color gamut greater than 85% (125% Rec.709), brightness of 1600 ANSI lumens and 2500:1 contrast ratio. It also supports HDR10 content, uses the Android TV 9.0 operating system (Feng OS) and comes fully equipped with automatic keystone correction (4-Point manual keystone correction available) with auto obstacle avoidance and side projection, autofocus (auto/manual), zoom function and support for Chromecast, Miracast and Airplay mirroring. Inside the body of the Vogue 100 (Vogue Pro) WEMAX has placed the Amlogic T972-H Media Processor SoC (Quad core ARM Cortex-A55 @ 1.98GHz CPU - ARM Mali-G31 MP2 GPU) together with 2GB DDR3 RAM and 32GB eMMC flash. Inside the chassis we also find two 10W Dolby Audio & DTS HD speakers and both Bluetooth v4.2 and 2.4/5GHz Wi-Fi (802.11 a/b/g/n/ac) modules. In terms of available connectors, the latest WEMAX Vogue 100 sports one HDMI v2.1 port, one HDMI v2.1 ARC port, two USB 2.0 ports, 3.5mm aux port, SPDIF port and an RJ45 LAN port. So, let's see what is most probably the best long-throw projector model by WEMAX capable of.
