Review: Dangbei MP1 Max projector ups image size, brightness and colour to a new level
Dangbei has upped the brightness and colour with its latest projector, which is now the flagship of its range, having taken over from the already excellent DBOX02. The MP1 Max takes a different tack to the DBOX by offering a hybrid Triple Laser/LED lens. This means you can pump up the size of an image to an incredible 300ins wide, while enjoying a brightness level that I've not see before at the price bracket. So, before we get into the tech jargon, here's what we are looking at. The MP1 Max is a sleek projector that comes with its own built-in stand capable of pointing the image pretty much anywhere you want (even on the ceiling). Because it's relatively compact, you can take it to your friends and neighbours easily enough, and it even comes with its own hard carrying case. And you're going to want to show this off! The 4K HDR projector can deliver 3100 ISO Lumens, which means you're not going to have to pull down all the blinds in a room to see it. The brightness is excellent, and it's this, as well as the vibrant colours, that gives the MP1 its edge. So the picture quality is superb, but what I was most surprised about was the quality of the in-built Dolby Audio speakers. They're 12W but with a larger acoustic chamber than other Dangbai projectors. This seemed to make a real difference to my ears. And that's just as well, because you are a little limited when it comes to external options (more of which later). Setting up the device is quick and simple. The MP1 uses Google TV as its operating system and has licensed Netflix integration, and so you get a smooth experience whatever your streaming options. One thing to note, though, is BBC iPlayer is still sadly lacking from the Google store so you'll have to connect to another peice of hardware to play EastEnders at supersize! The Bluetooth remote is nicely designed and has specific buttons for YouTube, Netflix and Amazon. This same Bluetooth means you can also connect to wireless speakers. I tested this out and didn't experience any lag, which I found was an issue with the DBOX02. Dangbei's InstanPro AI Image Setup Technology is among the best in the business and had just been upgraded, offering automated focus, real-time Keystone correction, screen fit, obstacle avoidance, and AI brightness adjustment. It makes it all super easy, not that taking manual control is particularly difficult. Although the automated settings were so good I never really felt the need to fiddle too much. It's worth noting the Keystone correction is dealt with by software and not hardware, meaning there is some light bleed that might turn off the purist. To be honest, after a couple of minutes you won't even notice it. For TV and movies, the MP1 smashes it out of the park. The quality is stunning and thanks to all those ISO Lumens, it shines no matter how light it is in the room. It also handles gaming with ease thanks to the 240Hz refresh rate. It's fast and reactive, and you can't beat playing Mario on a massive screen. There is a high-performance mode, but I wouldn't recommend it as the fans immediately go crazy and everything else seems to go to pot (or at least feels like it). Which brings me on to a couple of little caveats. Under normal use I wouldn't call the fans whisper quiet. If you're watching a blockbuster you won't notice, but quieter fare might well suffer. You get two HDMI ports to play with, as well as a headphone jack and USB-A, but no optical audio. I found this a little puzzling as this could be a deal breaker for the true home cinephile. Also, it does support 3D and while I have no way of testing this feature, other users say they have found it to be a little underwhelming. Another thing to note is the lifespan has been quoted to me as being more than 20,000 hours. Let feels like plenty, but is down from the 30,000 range boasted by the DBOX02. So if you're using it for a couple of hours a day it will last way over 20 years. So it is the flagship but it's missing a couple of high-end features in return, I guess, for portability. It's a comprimise I can live with. The MP1 Max is the best and brightest Dangbei yet, and delivers a powerful viewing experience - no matter where you are.

This new 4K Google TV projector just had its price slashed by hundreds of dollars
Dangbei If you've been waiting to upgrade your home media experience, Amazon Prime Day is one of the best times of the year to do it. Although we're now in the final hours of the event, not all of the big sales are coming to a close today. For example, Dangbei, known for its home projectors, is keeping the party going by offering some exclusive discounts starting from today and ending on July 16. Surprisingly, Dangbei is even slashing the price of its recently launched MP1 Max. Get the Dangbei MP1 Max for $1,599 ($400 off) It's not often that you see a device that just launched go on sale, but here we are. When this 4K Google TV projector was released just a few weeks ago, it came with a price tag of $1,999. If you act now, you'll be able to get this premium projector for only $1,599. Saving $400 on a major home media upgrade like this is a pretty great deal. The MP1 Max can project up to a 300″ screen, offers an ultrawide color gamut, and supports Dolby Atmos and HDR10+. As mentioned earlier, it uses Google TV, and you'll have access to apps like YouTube, Netflix, Disney Plus, and more. What really makes this projector special, however, is that it uses a triple-laser light source instead of a more conventional LED. This allows it to achieve an impressive brightness of 3,100 ISO lumens, which means your viewing experience won't be interrupted by daylight. Since Dangbei is offering this deal until July 16, you won't need to rush to pick this projector up. At the same time, you don't want to wait too long to take advantage of this offer. Got a tip?

With on-board Netflix and 4K triple-laser output, this Google TV projector is ready for movie night
Dangbei TL;DR Dangbei's MP1 Max is a 4K Google TV projector with built-in stand. The multi-modal light source combines laser and LED output for a bright 3,100 lumen rating. The MP1 Max natively supports Netflix and all your other favorite streaming apps. If you still have yet to upgrade your home media experience with the fun and convenience of a modern digital projector, what are you waiting for? If you've got a blank wall, you've got a screen just waiting to be used, and there is absolutely no shortage of great projector options out there, running the gamut from super-affordable to tricked out with all the latest bells and whistles. We just heard about one of those budget options from Dangbei a little earlier this year, and now we're checking out the company's latest, which definitely shifts things over to that higher-end space. Today Dangbei is launching its MP1 Max, a Google TV projector featuring 4K resolution, a built-in stand for easy positioning, and bright 3,100 ISO lumens output. The projector pulls off that kind of daylight-fighting brightness with the help of both a triple-laser light source and a more convectional LED, and after you've found a spot and aimed things, an AI-assisted setup process handles all the messy keystoning and screen configuration for you. Dangbei If you've ever messed around with old Android TV projectors that offered hacky solutions to sideload Netflix, you'll be pleased to learn that Dangbei is up to no such shenanigans here, and the MP1 Max arrives with proper licensed Netflix — the remote has that shortcut, as well as buttons for YouTube and Amazon Prime Video. While the 12.4lb projector is light enough to easily move around your home, Dangbei finds room for a 750cc acoustic chamber, helping to give the stereo 12W speakers a little extra 'oomph.' And if you ever do want to keep things quiet and enjoy your big-screen content in relative privacy, in addition to the Bluetooth support you'd only expect, the MP1 Max offers an analog headphone jack. Dangbei is selling the MP1 Max for just about $2,000, available both directly and through Amazon, but you can save big with the introductory DBMP1MAX coupon code, knocking $300 off that price.
