CONCLUSION

    Wanbo isn’t a manufacturer I was aware off even just one year ago but ever since some of you came forward and asked me to check their Mozart 1 and Mozart 1 Pro models I became very interested to the latter (initially because of its color). Yes, it’s not a high-end model and so its 1080p native resolution combined with its on-screen detail may not blow you away (yes, I was expecting slightly more in this regard) but it does produce very good colors with surprisingly smooth movement. It also comes ready with every auto-screen adjustment out there and let’s not forget a zoom function which is something missing from most similar models. Unfortunately, the single USB 2.0 port and the lack of RJ45 and S/PDIF ports may not satisfy some people but I guess we can’t have everything, not from a mid-range model. Audio quality was good for the most part with bass levels standing out the most. Power consumption is slightly high and yes, I was expecting less from such a compact projector (then again, the Vogue Pro by WEMAX got even higher). One of the things that did annoy me slightly was a small time lag between the when i pressed a button on the remote control and the action appeared on screen. This has actually not happened to me with any other projector I’ve used and/or tested to date so it certainly was something new (and of course it could be an isolated issue with my sample).

    Currently the Mozart 1 Pro Smart Projector by Wanbo retails for USD399 directly from their online store (wanbostore.com - use code Mozart1Pro_Nik for USD130 discount at checkout) and so it’s priced relatively well for what it brings to the table. Once again it all comes down to what your needs are so if you’re looking for a compact model that delivers on just about everything you’d ever want from a mid-range projector then the Mozart 1 Pro by Wanbo deserves your attention and for that it gets the Golden Award.
