Valerion makes its GCC debut to transform the home entertainment landscape

Valerion, a leading specialist in home cinema projectors and the premium sub-brand of AWOL Vision, has officially debuted in the UAE and Saudi Arabia. The brand's VisionMaster Pro 2 and StreamMaster Plus 2 triple laser 4K RGB projectors are now available in both markets, marking Valerion's entry into one of the world's fastest-evolving home entertainment landscapes. The GCC is witnessing a quiet transformation in how people experience media at home. Open-concept layouts, multi-generational living, and a growing appetite for immersive content have turned living rooms into high-tech, multi-purpose hubs. Once limited to dedicated media rooms, projectors are now being integrated into everyday living environments, and Valerion is at the forefront of this shift, backed by a global community of home theatre enthusiasts. 'The way people consume media at home has changed', said Andy Zhao, founder and CEO of AWOL Vision and Valerion. 'In many households across the region, the living room now serves multiple purposes, from streaming and gaming to family gatherings. Our projectors are designed to thrive in these shared spaces, offering a seamless experience without the complexity of traditional AV setups'. At the heart of the launch is the VisionMaster Pro 2, part of Valerion's premium RGB triple-laser lineup. The projector delivers 4K UHD resolution with up to 3,000 ISO lumens of brightness, capable of projecting vivid images up to 300 inches (around 7.6 meters). The VisionMaster Pro 2 comes with an optical zoom function that adds rare flexibility, allowing precise placement without pixel distortion, making it ideal for both large majlis-style setups and compact urban flats. Meanwhile, the StreamMaster Plus 2 is built for simplicity and streaming. Designed with modern families in mind, it runs on Google TV OS, offering instant access to global and regional platforms like Netflix, YouTube, and Shahid, eliminating the need for external streaming devices. With Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, built-in speakers, and voice control via Alexa or Google Assistant, it's a true all-in-one smart entertainment solution. For gamers, both models support refresh rates up to 240Hz and an input lag as low as 4ms, catering to both casual and competitive players. Dedicated gaming modes, including RPG, SPG, FPS, RCG, and FPS Crosshair, are available on both models for a customised experience. The VisionMaster Pro 2 and StreamMaster Plus 2 are now available on Amazon UAE and Amazon Saudi Arabia, with same-day or next-day delivery for Prime members and local customer support. Retail availability and after-sales services will expand across the GCC in the coming months. To celebrate its regional launch, Valerion is offering a 20% store-wide discount on Amazon from July 25 to 31, in conjunction with Prime Day. As part of its expansion strategy, the brand is also actively seeking distribution partners across GCC countries. Image Credit: Valerion

Want a high-end laser projector without the $2,000 price tag? Check out this new Google TV projector

TL;DR Dangbei has launched the DBOX02, a new 4K Google TV projector that offers projection sizes of 40 to 300 inches and can get as bright as 2,000 ISO lumens. Other features include licensed Netflix, HDR10+, HLG, dual 12W speakers with Dolby Audio and DTS Virtual:X support, and an AI-assisted setup for focus and keystone correction. The Dangbei DBOX02 is priced at $1,599. Thanks to the launch offer, you can get it for $1,219 until July 7, 2025. TVs are great for viewing content, but projectors are growing in popularity these days, thanks to their relatively lower prices and flexibility in usage and installation. There are plenty of options across price ranges, too — the Dangbei N2 Mini starts at just $229, and you can go all the way to the Dangbei MP1 Max for $2,000. If you are looking for a higher-end projector but don't need the overkill that the MP1 Max brings to the table, Dangbei has launched the new DBOX02 projector that will suit your needs. The Dangbei DBOX02 is a 4K Google TV projector with licensed Netflix support as well as support for HDR10+ and HLG. Dangbei mentions that the new projector comes with 'LaserVibe' laser technology, but there's no real information available about it. While the MP1 Max can output 3,100 ISO lumens, the DBOX02 sticks to a more practical yet impressive 2,000 ISO lumens. Both projectors have projection sizes of 40 inches to 300 inches. The DBOX02 also has a built-in 360° stand, but it can tilt 120° compared to the 135° on the MP1 Max. Once you have the DBOX02 positioned, an AI-assisted setup process automatically handles focus, keystone correction, and even brightness adjustment. Audio duties are handled by the dual 12W speakers on board that support Dolby Audio and DTS Virtual:X. However, note that the 600cc acoustic chamber, albeit impressive, is ultimately smaller than the 750cc chamber on the MP1 Max. The DBOX02 also weighs 4.8kg/10.6lb, compared to the 5.62kg/12.4lb of the MP1 Max. Dangbei DBOX02 pricing and availability The Dangbei DBOX02 is available on Amazon and Dangbei's website for $1,599. As a launch offer, you can use the code DBOX02PRO to get it for $1,219 until July 7, 2025. Got a tip? Talk to us! Email our staff at Email our staff at news@ .
