Valerion VisionMaster Pro 2

Valerion VisionMaster Pro 2, packshot

Idéal pour : Idéal pour le cinéma et le jeu sur grand écran dans une pièce sombre, après vérification de sa sensibilité aux artefacts tri-laser.

En bref : Les utilisateurs Reddit saluent surtout une image lumineuse, des noirs convaincants avec l’EBL et une excellente réactivité en jeu. Le consensus reste toutefois partagé sur le speckle, l’effet arc-en-ciel et la fiabilité, avec un intérêt nettement supérieur lorsqu’il est en promotion.

« The brightness between both is close, pro2 is like 10% brighter. »

« The models you listed are all solid choices. »

« also please dont waste your money on samsung, its way overpriced and measured at a dim 258 lumens and bad contrast, for comparison the valerion pro 2 is around 1600 lumens »

La faible latence et AirPlay sont appréciés, mais des critiques concernent l’eARC, le VRR et le recours possible à un lecteur externe.

« The Valerion performed slightly better for input lag »

« I personally ordered Valerion Pro 2 last week because it was on offer, also, AirPlay will be nice to have. »

« But went with Valerion Pro as I wanted Apple TV+ and Apple Airplay and both are not supported by XGIMI which was a deal breaker. »

Les utilisateurs Reddit le considèrent compétitif en promotion, mais nettement moins convaincant au tarif fort.

41 34

« J'aimerai simplement avoir le meilleur compromis possible pour mon budget, ma toile est superbe pour le prix je trouve et le projecteur et aussi génial pour son prix, mais c'est juste que… »

« Valerion Pro2 – best value. \~$2,700, RTINGS #1, amazing contrast for dark rooms. »

« Valerion Pro 2 beats them all and you can get it for around 2300€ currently »

Le consensus Reddit valorise le contraste, les noirs, les couleurs et le HDR, tout en signalant speckle, RBE et variations liées à l’EBL.

« I wonder how many of them are disappointed with their non-risky crowdfunded projector that has so many problems and people complaining. »

« The retailer presumably *wants* to sell more units as that earns them more money, so I don't think they'd be lying about these issues. »

« They also made this overhyped Kickstarter people keep talking about and will updating the c2 ultra via firmware to have the same dynamic black levels. »

Les utilisateurs Reddit le trouvent souvent silencieux, mais certains signalent des variations de ventilation ou un sifflement avec la réduction du RBE.

« The projector also emits a high pitch whine from the left side when that reduction mode is on. »

« All issues I've raised (fan noise, incorrect power supply, and turning on in the middle of the night) were handled appropriately and politely, they just had multiple days between replies. »

« But I’m a little worried about the fan noise:/ some users say it’s loud during HDR scenes. »

Le son intégré est jugé acceptable par certains, mais inférieur aux solutions concurrentes ou à un système externe.

La mise en route peut être simple, mais l’absence de lens shift impose un positionnement précis et limite la souplesse d’installation.

16 18

« You will need a nice screen though, which is true with any decent projector. »

« The Valerion is probably the wrong choice for your use case. »

    r/projectors · Laser speckle vs dithering

    Salut et merci pour ta réponse ! Pour moi changer d'écran n'est pas une option car c'est une toile neuve, motorisée et encastrée dans mon faux plafond donc difficile à remplacer (et à revendre). Je ne cherche pas la perfection car de 1 je suis complètement novice, le valerion est mon premier projo et je l'ai que depuis 2 mois, et de 2 je sais pour pour s'approcher de la perfection il faut un projo à 25 000 balles et je ne suis pas disposé à investir cette somme... J'aimerai simplement avoir le meilleur compromis possible pour mon budget, ma toile est superbe pour le prix je trouve et le projecteur et aussi génial pour son prix, mais c'est juste que malheureusement ils ne s'entendent pas très bien l'un avec l'autre donc j'aimerai remplacer le Valerion par quelqu'un qui s'entendra mieux avec ma Black Crystal, tout en restant dans la gamme de prix du Valerion...

    r/hometheater · Best Home Projector for a New Home theater in 2026

    The new triple laser projectors (Valerion Pro2, Hisense C2 Ultra, JMGO N3) have gotten really close to the Epson and JVC level. The gap isn't huge anymore. **Valerion Pro2** – best value. \~$2,700, RTINGS #1, amazing contrast for dark rooms. **Epson LS12000** – $4,500+, 3LCD (no rainbow), motorized lens. Reliable but not better contrast than the Valerion. **JVC NZ500** – $6k+, best blacks, but you're paying a lot for that last bit of performance. **JMGO N3** – wait for real reviews before buying. For 10-12ft seating and 120-150 inches, most long-throws work fine. The zoom range is nice but not essential. If you want best value, Valerion. If you want no rainbow effect ever – Epson. If money doesn't matter – JVC. [I have the top projector options here](https://medium.com/@dejan-k/projector-vs-100-inch-tv-2026-d0b6e18c3c14) – might help narrow it down.

    r/projectors · Unpopular Opinion: Are We Experiencing Peak Hype? My Take on the Valerion VisionMaster Max (And the Echo Chamber Review Culture)

    We haven’t tested the Valerion Max at RTINGS yet, but we did review the Valerion Visionmaster Pro 2 and liked it quite a bit; if the Max genuinely improves on it, and it looks like it does, odds are it’s a very good projector, and could match the Nebula X1 on many metrics. That said, we don’t rely on marketing numbers as projectors almost always measure lower post-calibration (D65), so we’ll reserve judgment until we run our standardized tests on a retail unit.

    r/projectors · Valerion plus vs XGIMI 20

    Hi! Yeah, your impressions mostly line up with what we’re seeing: the XGIMI HORIZON 20 Max is noticeably brighter, has better brightness uniformity, and slightly higher native contrast across different APLs than the Valerion Visionmaster Pro 2, so in a typical living room it tends to look punchier overall. Valerion’s iris/EBL can indeed push the black floor lower in very dark scenes, but that doesn’t change in-scene contrast as much as the big dynamic-contrast marketing numbers suggest.

    r/projectors · Hisense C2 Ultra vs Valerion Pro 2 Questions

    Hi! We have both in-house, and we checked them both to see how their eye protection features work. On the Valerion, it dims immediately and overlays a warning that it’ll shut the image off in 5 seconds; once you move away, it comes back about 2 seconds later. On the Hisense it blanks to black with a “stay away from the light source” message, then also shuts the image off after 5 seconds, and returns about 2 seconds after the path is clear. So yes, it can interrupt a game if kids/pets trip the sensor, so you might want to disable it during sports.

    r/hometheater · Best Home Projector for a New Home theater in 2026

    People are only talking about the positives, but none of the issues here. No projector is perfect. It's all about finding what projector has the qualities, as a tool, to deliver the experience that you are after in your space and determining what compromises you are willing to deal with to get what you need. Before people ask, as I know they would/will, I have seen all of these projectors in multiple rooms and have tested them alone and in direct side by side comparisons. While I am very happy that companies like Valerian and XGIMI are pushing to improve the space, the projectors they offer are not perfect. They have really pushed for viral marketing and have been largely successful with it. Because of that, people have a false sense for how good these projectors are. Side note, just so people are aware, Valerian and XGIMI pay people for posts on social media and forums. They get X money off the projector or a credit as a result. This creates the viral marketing and a false sense of quality. Again, the projectors are good for the money, but they are not immune to issues like many would have you believe just like any other projector on the market. To gain something you always must give something else up. The Valerian, Pro2 and Max, contrary to how people portray it online, has some significant issues. I would not recommend the Valerian Pro2 at all. The Max is a decent projector as long as its had for UNDER MSRP, but the Pro2 is not worth it unless you are restricted to that price point. The Pro2 and Max both have issues with RBE. Yes the RBE reduction modes works to a point, but if you are RBE sensitive the rainbow effects are still there. The projector also emits a high pitch whine from the left side when that reduction mode is on. Valerian is still a single chip DLP projector and as such will have low native contrast. Laser dimming is great, but as with most projectors, there will be a color shift as the laser dims. The Titan Max has the same issues with native contrast, dimming, and RBE. It also has problems with the image being poor and users having to chase settings to get it set for optimal playback. These settings need to change per scene in order to chase what the projector can deliver. XGIMI may fix this in future updates, but as it stands right now there are significant issues when directly compared to more mature products. Im hopeful this improves in the future, but for now I would steer clear. While I am hopeful the Noir is better, I can't speak to it until a see it. For both of these projectors, and really most projectors on the market, people need to understand that you are not getting the full native contrast at full brightness. You must lower the brightness, and ideally close apertures, to gain contrast and equal or at the very least encroach on the spec'd number. The LS12000 is a more mature product, and because of that is more consistent in movie to movie and scene to scene imaging. In my eyes it's a trade or a win in every category against the Valerian and XGIMI, largely due to this maturity and no RBE, with the exception brightness when compared to the XGIMI specifically as its 2700 to 6000. However, what you give up is money as it's a more expensive platform - 6000 MSRP (though it can be had for less) vs the 2500-4000 sale prices of the others. The NZ500 is hands down the best of the bunch, but it's also the most expensive. It has the best of everything with 2 caveats - brightness and motion. Motion is a loss due to the NZ500 having no motion handling options. The JVC has the best native contrast by several magnitudes and it shows in dark scenes. JVC also has the best and most mature dynamic tone mapping making it the most consistent and best performing scene to scene. It's true it does not support Dolby Vision like the Valerian and XGIMI, but as a pro in the industry I have also felt that Dolby Vision is largely unnecessary, especially when a quality dynamic engine is used like what JVC offers. Saying all of that though, and going back to my first statement, which one is best depends on the use case. Things like throw distance, green size, brightness expectation, ambient light, budget and much more will dictate which projector is best for the job. A projector, like all other equipment in home theater, is a tool to reach an end. If used and chosen correctly you a maximize your experience. However, if chosen solely based on what someone else tells you is the best you can find yourself left wanting.

    r/projectors · Valerion - Quality problems

    All your points are promises or claims. Without any evidence that they are actually doing those things they mean nothing. >it’s unfair to label them as “sham” or “fake” Who is doing that? >it’s always better to get information straight from the source. Um, getting information about whether a product is good or bad directly from the company that produces it is inherently biased. Do you also trust 1st party benchmarks and take marketing material as truth? The retailer presumably *wants* to sell more units as that earns them more money, so I don't think they'd be lying about these issues. I would trust their word more than the company producing the product until it puts out tangible evidence that they are actively working to fix the issues.

    r/projectors · Epson 6050UB or Valerion VisionMaster Pro2 in 2026

    I've had both projectors but I'll just start with the pro 2. It was a major upgrade to my eyes versus the Epson. The black levels of the Epson are better, but it's not significantly better when the ebl is engaged. What is significantly better on the Valerian? Its the color volume and the HDR tone mapping. I sold the Epson some time ago which was just a secondary projector once I got the Pro 2. The Max is now better than the Pro 2 including the black levels. So if the Pro 2 was already better than the Epson and the Max to me will be much better. I don't have the Epson anymore obviously so I can't compare it to the max but I already did that with the Pro 2

    r/projectors · Visionmaster pro 2 Vs Benq W4100i

    There's people that have compared the BenQ 5800 which is an even more premium than the model that you're referencing. And the valerian's PQ is better much better. Black levels and tone mapping. And the fact that you have a light controlled room will really make that projector shine

    r/projectors · Hisense C2 Ultra/Vidda C3 ultra/XGIMI Horizon 20 Pro

    Well the projector you didn't mention that has better contrast and dynamic dimming then all three is the Valerian Pro 2. In addition, it has an RBE reduction feature which the other projectors do not. If you are sensitive to Rainbows it's must to have this feature otherwise it could be a projector unwatchable. Not sure if you have experience with DLP projectors?

    r/projectors · Hisense C2 Ultra vs Valerion Pro 2 Questions

    What you mention about the eye protection is still the same on the Valerian. It's like few seconds before it starts playing content again. If you don't like it, you can turn it off. Furthermore, know the C2 has not done any update that gets it closer to the Valerian. The ebl and tone mapping are still better on the valarian

    r/projectors · Valerion Visionmaster Pro2 or Nebula X1?

    No, I don't agree. You forgot a part of your statement where you claimed that those two were basically toy projectors and not as good as the nx7. I'm telling you the pro 2 is a lot better. That's what I'm saying and the color volume is outstanding to the point. I don't feel like I'm missing anything cuz I'm not watching it on an OLED. The rest of the post is semantics. There is no 120 or 150-in OLED available And if you're looking at an LED wall. Well that's cost prohibited as well so it's not just an immersion thing you're still getting very good picture quality as well as immersion and both those things need to be taken into consideration.

    r/projectors · Hisense C2 Ultra/Vidda C3 ultra/XGIMI Horizon 20 Pro

    Yes, to me it is absolutely worth it. The contrast is that much better and that is not talking into account all the other factors. The comparison video will help you a bit. Two things to note: Xgimi has received several updates since the video. Neither has improved the dynamic contrast in fact the latest one has made the dimming worse than before. In addition, although the C3 is not in the video it didn't change much from the C2. Furthermore, the dimming didn't improve and is inferior to the Valerian. https://youtu.be/F6mFV7XQC3o?si=UMC6zimk73uochKQ

    r/projectors · Epson 6050UB or Valerion VisionMaster Pro2 in 2026

    You heard wrong. Many people with the actually projector are raving about it. Check the AVS forums with people that actually have the units and suffer from RBE. A good number no longer see it at all. Some can still see a bit but not enough where they can't watch. In addition where did I state it was a final solution!!??

    r/projectors · Epson 6050UB or Valerion VisionMaster Pro2 in 2026

    I'm not downloading you but personally the Valerian literally had an rbe update and tons of people have already posted what a revelation that was. So this very thread is literally valerian and Epson. Of course people have brought up other projectors so I noticed you brought up other projectors not related to valerian and the rbe update

    r/projectors · Epson 6050UB or Valerion VisionMaster Pro2 in 2026

    What do you mean with not impressed was that through YouTube videos. I had both and can tell you directly that Valerian Blacks levels are nice and impressive for a DLP and the Epson black levels are only a little better not significant. What is a significant difference is Color volume, HDR Handling, Tone mapping. There is a thread on the Valerion with close to 3 million views on AVS full of enthusiast that have this projector and many others. They are not paid You tubers and they will tell you the same. There is a KC AV group that has just about every high end projector available they recently did a shootout with all projectors calibrated. The Valerian Max was rated on the LS1200. You need to actually view the projector in person before throwing out such confident declarations. Furthermore Shane Lee did not say to buy this over everything else that's a straight out lie or mischaracterization. I will view the other YT but my guess is you took that out of context as well

    r/projectors · Hisense C2 Ultra vs Valerion Pro 2 Questions

    The X1 1 and the Valerian have a ton of side by sides. The Valerian has much better PQ. Of course you already know that And created about 10 troll accounts on the AVS and got banned using the same name you're using now. The S7 does look compelling but I would wait until an international version comes out and we won't really know for about another week or two until some members get that projector in their hands and compare it directly to the Valerian or other tri laser projectors that they

    r/projectors · Valerion Visionmaster Pro2 or Nebula X1?

    No, that's not what I'm saying. I'm saying that the PQ of the valerian is so good. It's better than the nx7. Clearly the black levels of the JVC are better, but they're not so much better that I'm somehow distracted. The ebl actually works very good, but I'm telling you what what's way better than the JVC is the sharpness the color volume and just the overall PQ and the immersiveness of 150 in to me is better than a 77-in OLED or a 65-in OLED. Of course if they were similar sizes, no comparison OLED all day, but clearly that's not the case

    FYI Valerion absolutley destroyed the BenQ 5800 when the two got compared. In addition, I had and Epson 5050 that wasn't close to picture quality of the Valerion. So your entire assertions of "Real" has no weight.

    r/projectors · Visionmaster pro 2 vs TK710sti

    Not the case as the Nebula is not even in Valerians class yet. There are comparison videos available and in The X1 thread on AVS forums there are user with both projectors. The Pro 2 has the better PQ. They may have been the sentiment before people had the projector and just read the specs

    r/projectors · Visionmaster pro 2 vs TK710sti

    Valerian is far from overrated. I have multiple high dollar projectors that cost 2x to 3x that of the Valerian. It is much better than some of those in multiple categories. It competes far above its weight class. Hundreds of users can attest to this in the AVS forums. It's been compared to BenQ flagship projector and the one just below it. It's far better overall with contrast and tone mapping. If you are highly prone to see RBE probably not the projector for you. Most people that chime in on this projector don't have it

    r/projectors · Visionmaster pro 2 Vs Benq W4100i

    I'm sure I've seen the model that it replaced which is essentially identical and it's not comparable. The colors on the Valerian are better wider color glamut better tone mapping and you can easily calibrate this so I am more than sure

    r/projectors · Which projector to buy? Alternatives to ViewSonic LX700-4K?

    r/projectors · Unpopular Opinion: Are We Experiencing Peak Hype? My Take on the Valerion VisionMaster Max (And the Echo Chamber Review Culture)

    I was an early Max backer and received a Pro 2 loaner, so I've been using a VisionMaster for awhile now. I replaced an Optima UHD50X. The Pro2 and Max are absolutely improvements over the Optima, and not just in image quality, which is substantially better, but that would be expected for something at a higher price point and substantially newer. But there were image quality issues as well as issues with overall quality and support. There were significant issues with the UHD50X (notably a split screen issue) that Optima never resolved, there was no ongoing firmware support, and they basically abandoned a flawed product early in its lifespan. I was going to buy the BenQ HT4550 to replace it, but it also has well documented flaws, which it seems BenQ has selectively addressed with replacements. And most projector manufacturers quote the 'best' metrics even if they are in generally unusable picture modes. This is a common topic of projector reviews, where brightness is measured, often well below the ratings, in different and more accurate picture modes. Point being, the VisionMaster is a good product that is not perfect, and there's definitely some overblown hype and fanboyism happening (the Facebook group is overrun with this) but the 'anything' vendors' products you noted have had their own product issues. I had no issues with my Pro2, but a lot of people did (wifi disconnected, image sensor issues, power supplies), and my Max is now working well and it was absolutely worth the Kickstarter price. The build quality, image, and features are at the level I'd expect, in actual usage. In my room, and with my eyes, there is nothing this projector does that is problematic or detracting from the experience, both models just look great. This was not the case with the Optima. The current level of product support is also excellent but time will tell how that plays out. When I got my Max they indicated a firmware update to further refine the software was in development as well, which is a positive sign I think. Only time will tell with ongoing support or reliability.

    r/projectors · Unpopular Opinion: Are We Experiencing Peak Hype? My Take on the Valerion VisionMaster Max (And the Echo Chamber Review Culture)

    I can assure you I am not a salesman for any brand. My job is to verify claims and judge relative performance of each projector within a category. You mentioned that you bought a Pro 2 and are no longer a fan of Valerion, is that because you ultimately ended up with a different projector that you like more? If so which one? I stick by my statement that for people looking for a standard throw projector the Pro 2 is still the highest performance per dollar available until XGIMI can fix DBLE. As mentioned by Chaiscool, I use a Nexigo Aurora Pro MKII in my personal setup, not only because I prefer UST screens, but I also like ALPD light sources more than triple laser due to extremely mild protan color blindness that makes it more difficult for me to perceive the entire color volume of the red laser in a tri-laser.

    Max is the only one that has the RBE reduction right now, but my understanding is that there are plans to bring it to the Pro 2, but no official dates on that yet. If the RBE reduction feature is important to you then you should go with the Max or Pro2. If RBE is typically not a problem for you neither the Horizon 20 Max nor Horizon 20 Pro exhibit above average RBE and I think would be a better fit for your space.

    C2 ultra would be my recommended. It’s the best real (not kickstarter or super engineered samples for review) lifestyle out there. They also made this overhyped Kickstarter people keep talking about and will updating the c2 ultra via firmware to have the same dynamic black levels. So you pay retail price now for a real projector from a brand that doesn’t need to create a “sister brand” to distance themselves from whatever they won’t use the same name for, don’t have to wait and have no risk.

    r/projectors · Valerion - Quality problems

    I personally love mine. I think the general rule should be: - avoid if you have low risk tolerance. ie, if you want to just be positive to have a quality experience, opt for something that has been around longer - if you are okay waiting for repairs, it might be worth it to you ** - if you are into tech and see that Valerion is pushing the envelope (which should result in a bunch of other awesome options the next 5 years), and if that excites you, purchase but understand the risk ** we probably need more data on how the handle warranty claims I haven’t had a warranty claim but my emails with them have been fantastic and timely. In my opinion I’m backing the little guy. My personal experience has been awesome but it’s anecdotal. I will say, on the FB group stats for folks who had no issues compared to those that had issues was like only 5% with physical issues. Again, not good or bad. Just know your risk tolerance

    r/projectors · Xgimi Horizon Pro or Valerion Vision Master 2 - need advice

    You're not using a screen and in a regular room, you don't have to worry about black levels as your room is too bright regardless. Yeah the throw is different, however take note the shorter throw has worst contrast. For the pro2 if you use the 0.9 throw ratio instead of the 1.5, you'll be getting 42% lesser native contrast. You can experiment with plexi mirror to increase the throw distance but it has it's own issues too. The brightness between both is close, pro2 is like 10% brighter.

    r/projectors · Best $2k-$3k lifestyle projector late 2025

    It's not just the windows but you need to treat the surrounding walls, floor and ceiling around your screen as it will reflect light and will affect contrast. If you don't want a cave, then ust + alr will be the better route. Both of your choices are tri lasers so you better check your sensitivity to rbe and speckle. Also, imo both are "old" model and it would be better for you to get newer one with iris, free native contrast booster. If you are sensitive to rbe, you can consider nexigo trivision ultra (mk2 coming soon) and aurora pro mk2. If you're ok with rbe, can consider dangbei ultra s7 max, it's like ~38% brighter than pro2 and has better native contrast.

    r/projectors · Valerion Pro2 vs. Plus2 EBL

    It's inherent to all dynamic dimming contrast, EBL got praised as it's the best one but if such jitter affects you then you can't use it. There's an option for ebl low which is slower version so it won't react in quick scenes - only dim the laser in longer dark scenes. Even their new ust ebl has similar issue, some early users even rather turn it off and simply use iris.

    Wdym? Subtitles do work fine but it just won't dim as low as possible. You can try without subtitles vs subtitles, the dimming will be different. Try [this](https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/du1mu6lmse2uidzz4suor/EBL-Test-2.mp4?rlkey=buzmd0ltt54qnzeaget02af9l&dl=0) test video that uses white text to disengage EBL

    r/projectors · Valerion Vision Master pro 2

    Imo no as the gimbal and audio can get 3rd party ones like sonos etc. However, the upside is that Valerion has direct shipping and support for a lot of countries. Can't find the likes of anker nebula in my area. So it depends on your choices available in your area. Those in US are lucky to get option such as xgimi 20 for $1.2k, not for me though. The subtitle part only affect dark scenes so not that bad. You can change it to grey and darker color ones but do note it's harder to read and it will be the darkest the laser can dim - so in pure black scene with a subtitle the laser will dim not to the pure black but will stop at the subtitle level. It will still be dark but not dim as low as possible.

    r/projectors · Valerion Vision Master pro 2

    Subs doesn't work for any dynamic dimming, it's inherent to it unless you go into zones. See tv blooming with subtitles too. Mere credit scene will light up the whole picture. You go see end credit with pure black will dim but once credit rolls the dimming will disengaged.

    r/projectors · Hisense C2 Ultra vs Valerion Pro 2 Questions

    Darken the room is not simply light but reflection too fyi so you need dark wall, ceiling and floor too. Subtitles part is imo individual preference as you need to darken it for ebl to work. Imo it's too much of a compromise so it's hard to read and I prefer regular white subtitles, some ppl are okay with such subtitles so it's up to you. IMO don't think it's possible for software, tv have similar problem with subtitles blooming on mini led, the only solution is more zones which projector doesn't even have. You should check your sensitivity to rbe before diving too far as it will make your choices easier if you know about it.

    r/projectors · Valerion Pro 2 and understanding screen light bounce/bleed

    Imo it depends on which kind of room you prefer to view your content. Some do prefer the cave as it's more "cinematic", while others prefer a normal room and some even prefer to have the room with lights on. For speckle, you need to see it yourself as you might be ok with it or you don't even see it. Wab or spandex is a way to reduce the speckle. You can also consider alpd or hybrid projector as they have less speckle. Imo don't get a long throw like valerion pro2/ max and use it with alr/clr screen as long throw ones don't work as well. If you need alr/clr screen then go for ust. There's the upcoming nexigo ap mk2 and hisense px4 pro. For screen size 150" will definitely be a nice experience but if you rather not deal with a completely dark room or alr screen then imo going for 98" tv is the better choice. However, do note if you can fit the tv into your house as mine is limited to 86", like physically can't even fit into the door.

    r/projectors · Unpopular Opinion: Are We Experiencing Peak Hype? My Take on the Valerion VisionMaster Max (And the Echo Chamber Review Culture)

    Best part is when you call out such people they hide and say they're not "reviewers" but just someone giving feedback. While Valerion feature them in a video hyping the product for marketing, they also eat dinner with Valerion team during conference. So for example the person say valerion max is brighter than nebula x1 despite x1 having extra headroom, the person just reply it's what they can see. So no need to post actual lumens numbers and simply say brighter while not even under NDA but is just being respectful to them by not giving out the numbers. Now it turns out the valerion max is even dimmer than the pro2 lol. Even if your points are valid and correcting the person, they would play victim card and act like they're being harassed while ignoring the points made were needed to correct them.

    r/projectors · Valerion VisionMaster Pro2 washed out colors

    Did you test with sdr? Epson 3800 iirc has iris so should get higher contrast. Advantage of laser projector is color coverage for bt2020 and laser dimming without subtitles - so in dark scenes the laser can dim to have even better black floor. If you watch non dark content with subtitles then just keep the epson. Also, contrast ratio is affected by zoom level - try the same throw ratio on the others to match the epson. Maximum throw gives higher contrast, so your valerion at its biggest picture vs smallest picture will have like 40% contrast difference. Smaller picture has better pq, so you need to put the projector further back.

    r/projectors · Valerion Vision Master pro 2

    Yeah ebl is useless for subtitles user, go for higher native contrast ones. Depends on how much you can get the pro2, I was offered $1.5k by valerion so it was a good deal. Can consider anker nebula x1 - cpu slow though, dangbei s7 - china import so no warranty and xgimi 20 pro / max if you need more brightness.

    r/projectors · First Time Projector Owner - Choice?

    Not just pumping but subtitles won't active the dimming ebl. Brightness level is not just for ambient light as most will use it in the dark too, but for screen size. If you don't need the extra brightness then can consider the xgimi base model. Do note laser dims over time, so it's useful to have a headroom of brightness. You don't want to use max brightness from the start and slowly get dimmer and have no room to boost brightness.

    r/projectors · Unpopular Opinion: Are We Experiencing Peak Hype? My Take on the Valerion VisionMaster Max (And the Echo Chamber Review Culture)

    Lol agree with the echo chamber. You post negative things on their avs thread and fb page, they'll call you trolling haha. I got banned from both for pointing out their bias. Valerion fanbois are also big fans of dynamic contrast as they don't seem to use subtitles. You can see their comparison videos / pictures showing ebl and how great it is are all without subtitles, which is fine for americans who only watch english content. Think you might saw my comment on x1 with iris having better contrast but the gap is not that big and it's due to valerion max throttling. Valerion does have upside with ebl (if you don't use white subtitles), global support, english menu, faster chip compared to x1, rbe reduction. Downside, it's losing in terms of brightness to newer ones like nebula x1, jmgo n5, viddda c5 and dangbei s7. X1 is sharper too. Valerion retail price is unnecessarily high too. Their support is non existent and feels like abandoned ware. Pro2 only has 1 fw update in ~9 months and still got plenty of bugs. For users sensitive to rbe and want English menu, global warranty support and want snappier built in google tv, Valerion seems to be the only option for tri laser. Don't buy retail price though.

    C2 users are not into dynamic contrast like ebl. All dynamic contrast have similar issue, it's mostly noteworthy for Valerion due to it being their main difference maker. Their ebl works better than others but it still have the same inherent issues as any other dynamic contrast but it's better and less worst than others.

    r/projectors · Projector for a living room advice needed

    Imo get a big tv. Long throw like the valerion is out of the question as it needs dark room. Ust + alr is the only viable option but it still won't beat a tv for pq. Project is only an option if tv is too expensive or can't physically fit the door.

    r/projectors · Projector for a living room advice needed

    Yes but all long throw are like that, you can't beat physics as unlike ust that's nearer to the screen. Also, long throw are affected by ceiling, walls and room reflection, even if you close the blind and turn off the light there's still light from the projector that's bouncing off them at bleed the screen (the black turns lighter). If you going for 120 then ust + alr is the only route then. Also, for ust you might want to consider factors like rbe, hotspot and speckle.

    r/projectors · Valerion Visionmaster Pro 1 or Hisense C2 Ultra

    For some people they can be too sensitive that even reduction feature won't help. Best to use other solution like 3lcd and alpd. I say the other is due to if rbe is not an issue, i prefer c2 ultra due to the speakers. I use subtitles so not a fan of dynamic contrast hence Valerion advantage is a wash for me.

    r/projectors · Hisense C2 Ultra vs Valerion Pro 2 Questions

    Sure 2x native contrast losing out, drink that dynamic contrast kool aid. You must be confusing pro2 and the max cause x1 has iris. Lol avs ppl chasing ghost. Troll? Wtf 7 year old account is now a troll account? Easier explanation is avs ppl just seeing ghost.

    r/projectors · Hisense C2 Ultra vs Valerion Pro 2 Questions

    Imo neither, should get something with iris as it's a free 2x contrast booster. Consider the likes of nebula x1, dangbei s7 max etc. Also, ebl in Valerion doesn't work with subtitles or non dim scenes. So if you don't have a cave and don't watch foreign contents or non dark movies then it doesn't really matter imo.

    r/projectors · Best Projector to Buy in 2026? (Price, Brightness, Resolution)

    A bit of a loaded question as there's no "best" and it depends moreso on your room specifications, usage, accessory support requirements, and budget. I post this in most projector help requests in this range: https://youtu.be/9QqnfJ0-I_s?si=Phw3ImvlKIbuu7TT I think the freestyle isn't a great projector for the price compares to the other ones you listed, but it is widely advertised and built for commercial appeal. I'm very excited to try the Valerion line for my next upgrade (from a 1080p Benq Ht2050a). I'll probably go with a Valerion Visionmaster plus 2 unless I can stomach forking out the extra for the Pro/Pro2. XGIMI horizon 20 is highly rated, but does have a few specifici (mostky software) issues that may or may not be addressed and is very overpriced in some countries. Hisense C2/C3/M2 are highly rated too, but typically fall behind the Xgimi/Valerion series equivelants from what I gather.

    The problem as I see it is they are no longer selling at Kickstarter prices, but they still seem to be offering a Kickstarter-esque product with all of the risk and growing pains… and none of the financial incentive. The Pro 2 is now $3000 and the Max is $4000. That’s a far cry from the original $2000 and $2200. At those price jumps, I would expect a refined product with software and quality control issues worked out.

    I don’t own one of these, but that was a common issue and reports seem to indicate it still might be a problem, although perhaps improved somewhat with newer firmware. Typically the suggestions are to not use it, or keep it at a less aggressive setting.

    r/projectors · Valerion - Quality problems

    Yeah as an owner of a Pro2, I can definitely say the product is solid, its got some issues to work out, but overall I'm really happy with it. However, the company is struggling in a few spots. Mainly quality checks before shipping, and responding to inquiries quickly. All issues I've raised (fan noise, incorrect power supply, and turning on in the middle of the night) were handled appropriately and politely, they just had multiple days between replies. They need to scale up, and they need to hold their production partners accountable for quality and logistics challenges. These aren't surprising issues, they are a startup whose product kinda blew up, and now they are trying to fly the plane and build it at the same time. I've bought lots of devices in my life within their launch window. *Every* one had bugs and issues of some kind upon launch. When it comes to TV's LG & Sony routinely acknowledged them and addressed them, LG did it faster than Sony, Samsung basically said "deal with it". Valerion has given me no indication they wont support their products, but they haven't been around too long. My interactions tend to show they want to make their customers happy and are working on it.

    r/projectors · Valerion - Quality problems

    For sure, I'm eyeing the Max too. I really wish the Pro2 had lens shift. I'm certainly on a wait and see approach on the Max, but I've recommended the Pro2 to lots of people since I've gotten mine. I have no hesitation about doing so. People who have been over and seen it are all impressed.

    r/projectors · Hisense C2 Ultra vs Valerion Pro 2 Questions

    Personally, for me, the Valerion is worth the wait for a sale. For the following reasons: * GoogleTV is a clear winner over the Highsense custom OS * The Valerion has superior picture quality as shown in many reviews * The Valerion performed slightly better for input lag * Highsense has a terrible reputation in the TV market, I wouldn't expect much in the way of post release support The Pro 2 is $2500 right now on amazon for October Prime day. Otherwise, yes, they do go on sale or run a promotion semi-frequently. Valerion didn't really exist last year during BF so hard to gauge exactly how deep that discount will be. I imagine it would at least be equal to their current discount.

    r/projectors · Is the VisionMaster Pro 2 right for me?

    There are really good options in the Valerion price point. Any of them are solid choices, but whether the Valerion is worth a few hundred extra is tough these days. The horizon 20 didn’t exist when I purchased mine and I’d probably give it a hard look these days. I’d say you really don’t need the Max. I own several pro 2s and have seen the Max in person. I didnt see a large enough performance difference to justify the price jump. Screen wise I’m partial to ceiling mounted for stability, keeping everything dialed in, and more flexibility in material choice. But again, very much a user preference. Don’t cheap out on screens, it’s equally as impactful as the projector on image quality in my opinion.

    r/projectors · Valerion Max Launch Value

    I’m pretty pro Valerion, I own several, and I just don’t see enough value difference between the pro 2 and the max to justify the price. You can get the pro2 on sale frequently for cheaper and it’d be my pick hands down. All the goodies they are offering in this promo are fine but not the best. I feel like the max was created to justify the price of the Pro 2.

    r/BenQ · BenQ W4100i 4K/3200lm/100% DCI-P3 Home Cinema Projector Review

    I have not reviewed the Pro2 but I got to spend time with one. The Valerion is even brighter still and covers nearly all of the REC.2020 colorspace— which is mighty impressive. It also has higher measured contrast. On the flip side it is not as color accurate, its dynamic contrast system introduces noticeable color shifts, and it has very limited optical flexibility forcing you to rely on keystone. To be fair though it IS a lifestyle unit and, despite its premium price, more aimed at folks who just want a quick to setup and quick to take down projector. While the W4100i is similar in size and weight (obviously different in shape) it is more designed for folks that want to mount their projector to target a fixed screen. In addition there are significant differences in the light engine. The Valerion uses the .47” DMD paired with a tri laser light source. The BenQ utilizes a 4LED light source paired with the larger .65” DMD. With tri laser some folks will notice laser speckle depending on screen pairing. I also noticed more RBE with that unit but that could be down to the added brightness. Like most all .47” DLPs the Valerion can exhibit screen door effect. The .65” utilized here exhibits no SDE in 4K.

    r/projectors · What would be the best 4k projector for under $4000 for this room?

    Sorry but the native is not meaningless. Dynamic CR doesn’t always work and only improves some scenes. Native still limits simultaneous on screen contrast. There are scenes that look better on the LS12000 due to the much higher native CR. RBE is not able to be mitigated. I have seen one of these and the RBE is constant as it is for me with any 1-chip DLP. The Hookup is only 1 guy with 1 opinion. I know others who have seen them and have a very different opinion after watching them. I’m a perfect example. I see RBE always on any 1-chip and it bothers me to no end. I also hate dynamic CR systems as I see them changing and adjusting and that also distracts me. That’s why I use a JVC in the first place because the native is higher and I can disable dynamic entirely.

    The native contrast numbers are meaningless when the Valerion's EBL makes the contrast better in actual use. Yes, RBE is something to be aware of, but its impact is subjective and able to be mitigated. I don't have either of these, so I have no skin in the game here. I've linked the head to heads from The Hookup. The Pro 2 is not subjectivly a better picture than the LS12000. It's very clearly a better picture. LS12000 fanboys couldn't believe it and had him run the shootout again with different settings for the same results.

    Okay, I’ve been eyeing the Valerion for weeks. The reviews say it’s a beast for movies in dark rooms, which sounds perfect. Gaming is a big thing for me too. The 15ms input lag at 4K/60Hz sounds smooth enough for my PS5. But I’m a little worried about the fan noise:/ some users say it’s loud during HDR scenes. The manual lens adjustments are a win for my weirdly angled setup, but the price… oof. At $3K, I’m torn between this and a giant OLED TV. Still, the projector’s immersive size and portability (for movie nights in the backyard?) might tip the scales. Anyone here own one? How’s the day-to-day experience? Does the auto-brightness really get weird in mixed lighting, or is it manageable? And is the fan *that* annoying? Trying to avoid buyer’s remorse!

    " all units shipped through their official channels (like Kickstarter) go through rigorous quality checks."" well you haven't spent enough time on the Facebook Launch Group.

    r/projectors · Valerion - Quality problems

    I understand that a shop would not want to sell them if 50% of them have quality issues. Imagine the amount of returns and issues they'd have to deal with. As a consumer, it's a little different: if the company acts in good faith, they will fix the problems slowly. So individually, it might be OK, but you'd need to be lucky, and have time ahead. My bet is that the V2 (or the V1 in one year) will be phenomenal. At the moment it's a bit of a gamble. This is coming from someone who has pre-ordered a Max.

    r/projectors · Valerion vs Hisense

    The Valerion is excellent. But has 1600 native contrast and you need to rely on EBL for the rest. Not too much a problem if you don’t use subtitles and are ok with some artéfacts but otherwise, the X1 has 5000 native contrast because it has an iris. On top of it they’re developing an EBL. I would rank them like this: Valerion Max > X1 > Pro 2 > C2

    I've seen a myriad of issues: power blocks dying, intermittent fan issues, plugs not aligned with outside structure, light leakages, device waking up at night, etc etc Don't get me wrong it is an amazing product, but it's absolutely evident that they're not able to keep up with the demand \*at this moment\*. Amazon won't communicate about their return rate, unlike this shop who knows they will have to deal with a lot of customer returns.

    Nice that you're happy. I'm seeing many issues on the FB group. I have no doubt that in 1 year from now, this will be a thing of the past and this projector will be fantastic for everyone. But I also understand why a shop cannot sell them in the current state of things.

    r/projectors · Valerion - Quality problems

    I've been following threads on AVS, here, and on FB. Other than the power supply issues and a some failing wifi modules nearly everyone has been pretty happy as far as I'm aware. Sure, the software is kind of buggy and EBL isn't perfect, but nothing is really a dealbreaker for me personally. I'm really enjoying my high risk Pro 2 at $1499. Will probably get downvoted on for saying this but it even outperforms my 6050UB in quite a few ways.

    r/projectors · Valerion - Quality problems

    I did mention the power supply issues. The fan issue could be QC related or possibly something with the software causing the fans to bug out. Device waking up at night is likely related to CEC, maybe a device is waking it up. I haven't had that happen and I've had the Pro2 for 2 months, probably a couple hundred hours on it by now. I haven't seen the light leakage issue, where was that? Was it a single case or multiple? The connections not aligned probably happened during shipping, it is possible that multiple got rattled so we could see more cases of that. Other than the power adapter failures and the Wifi being disconnected (I noticed some more recent teardowns where they added tape to prevent this from happening) I do not think these out of the ordinary. I had a 5040UB that I had to get the power supply replaced three times. I sold it after getting it replaced the third time and picked up a 6050UB which has been fine, but it does have that blue colored black floor that Epsons are known for. Sony with their panel degradation issues after a couple years. Even JVC has had some QC issues, such as bright corners. I've read recently of several NZ500's with stuck pixels. Nothing is perfect.

    r/projectors · Valerion - Quality problems

    Which issues specifically? I haven't seen any major widespread issues other than the ones mentioned above. I'm not sure the reason. Amazon and a few other shops have no issue selling them even with the bugs. Maybe the margins aren't high enough for them to deal with potential returns. Time will tell as far as the bugs being fixed, I do hope they fix things but there is no guarantee anything will be fixed to be honest.

    r/projectors · Choosing a video projector for a semi-lit room

    You have to be realistic, that never in your life have you gone to a semi-lit movie theater. That doesn't mean you can't project, but there is a reason theaters are dark, and your image will take a significant hit when you add ambient light. It won't make the projector unusable, but it will definitely remove that cinematic feel. As well, about half of the theater impact is the sound treated room that is painted completely dark. It's a quiet space with excellent audio. Something many people don't want to address with anything more than a speakerbar these days. The models you listed are all solid choices. BenQ thrown in is a good choice as well. At the end of the day, these models are all DLP projectors using the same DLP chip inside of them. They are more similar than different. The worst one would be considered very bright and high resolution from what we had 15 years ago. I personally think that models with optical zoom and a good amount of lens shift are the best purchase as they make setup far easier. So, I lean heavily into the Horizon 20 being a solid choice. If you need more brightness, and can afford it, get the better models. You have to understand throw distance, and learn to use this tool... [https://www.projectorcentral.com/xgimi-horizon\_20-projection-calculator-pro.htm](https://www.projectorcentral.com/xgimi-horizon_20-projection-calculator-pro.htm) You should also spend some time watching videos from a proper review YouTube channel. I like this as one of the best because of the real world comparisons of models put head to head at various price points... [https://www.youtube.com/thehookup](https://www.youtube.com/thehookup) You aren't going to struggle at your price point to find a solid projector that looks good. You will still only get part of the theatrical experience if you don't have great audio. You will probably be shocked at how good the image actually is after dark.

    r/projectors · Valerion Pro 2 outside optical zoom range for 120” — how bad is the real-world quality loss?

    Those suggesting the XGimi Titan Noir Max are giving the best information I would say. Yes, you can use a projector with a shorter throw distance like the Valerion, which is a solid product, but the XGimi has better throw range, and really good lens shift, which should make you setup much better overall. You will need to figure out audio as well here. The projector speakers may be decent, but they are behind you and decent would be the best case. Bluetooth is a bad option. So, cabling is required between the projector and a speaker to get decent audio.

    r/projectors · Suggestions on first projector?

    I'd struggle not to get the Valerion Pro 2 or Hisense C2 Ultra over the LS11000. Both are nice models, but the Epson simply isn't priced where it should be IMO, and the LS12000 is where people should be spending their money if they are chasing best image quality. I'd definitely stick with a 120" diagonal or you might as well get a 100" TV instead. (yeah yeah, OLED already) You will want a tab-tensioned motorized screen to go with this if you aren't using a fixed frame screen for best results.

    r/projectors · Recommendations please.

    Keep in mind 1440p is a common monitor resolution, but no projector is 1440p on the consumer market. They are 4K through pixel shifting (or JVC/Sony native) of 1080p panels. So, your best results generally will come from a 1080p input. Especially at 120hz or 240hz. Those will give you the lowest lag times in the world and DLP is absolute king when it comes to this. 1440p may give you slightly better resolution, but will not give you faster pixel response time, which has been proven to be the king of importance when it comes to competitive gaming. This is also, generally, why 1440p is not lag tested on most projectors and why most projectors don't support that resolution. There are definitely some projectors advertised for gaming use which absolutely support an input resolution of 1440p, but then it must be scaled to 4K/60 or dropped down to 1080p/120hz. This is an added scaling step which may add some lag to the overall performance. This is all just stuff to be aware of. The X3100i is a beast as is the Valerion Pro 2. The C2 Ultra is also a beast in this class. I think when you are talking fastest response time, the X3100i is the best in class with 4.2ms advertised, and 5ms confirmed at 1080p/240 input. That's about as fast as DLP allows for at this point. It is up to you to do the chasing on 1440p as a resolution. You won't get those response times from LCD, for darn sure. Simple as that. LCoS (JVC/Sony) can often fall somewhere between, but can come close to DLP speed. Lots more $$$ for LCoS. Good questions really, and this is going to be a personal question at the end of the day. Especially with regards to how much RBE impacts and bothers you. It varies from projector to projector, so do keep that in mind.

    r/projectors · Epson LS12000 vs Valerion VisonMaster Max

    I've been using the same standard mount for years through different projectors and it never drifted an inch, including now with the Valerion since April (First Pro2 now Max). I was able to adapt it to their tripod-like mount without problems and it didnt move either (They even sell an adapter now). If you have drift, I'm afraid the problem is not the projector but the mount... so I would say this is not really a thing to consider when deciding.

    r/projectors · Hisense C2 Ultra vs Valerion Pro 2 Questions

    C2 ultra does the same thing as always for eye protection; it just cuts off the image for a bit. It does detect movement pretty well. If kids walking in front is a concern, have you considered an ultra short throw? Hisense released an update for the C2 ultra months ago but I still haven't gotten it (in Canada for reference). It does not come anywhere close to the EBL of Valerian.

    r/projectors · Trying to decide on next projector (Nebula X1, Valerion Visionmaster Pro 2, XGMI Horizon 20 Max or other?)

    Yes: - Valerian's whole claim to fame is their EBL (enhanced black level) which is a proprietary algorithm that they use to achieve strong image contrast, and as a result great picture quality. The Pro2 is recognized for achieving excellent contrast when using EBL. However, EBL is not perfect. Some users report colour shifting or flickering when using EBL. This is commonly seen when using subtitles because the subtitles are adding another bright element to the image and EBL struggles with normal subtitles. So, when watching content with subtitles with EBL, you will see colour shifting, flickering, or other artifacts. There are work arounds for this but it involves buying a different media player and changing the colour of the subtitles which is a lot of work imo. For most people this is irrelevant but for me I use subtitles all the time so it's a deal breaker. - The Nebula on the other hand achieves great contrast using an iris, which is a physical mechanism that limits the amount of light coming out of the projector. I believe there are 5 or 7 different iris levels but not sure. So depending on your use case, you can set the iris setting to give the image as much brightness as you want while maximizing contrast. Because an iris is a physical mechanism (not an algorithm) it enhances image contrast regardless of using subtitles. TLDR: Valerian uses EBL (software) to achieve great contrast. EBL struggles with subtitles. Nebula uses an iris to achieve great contrast and is not affected by subtitles.

    r/projectors · Best 4K projector under 3k?

    I love my Pro 2. Just watched The Return of the King yesterday and my jaw was on the floor during the trip up the stairs into Mordor. It’s a major plus that the projector itself is beautiful, and built solidly. Not like the plastic projectors that are usual in this price range.

    r/projectors · What would be the best 4k projector for under $4000 for this room?

    I'm just going to add that the Valerion Max has the review samples out now and reviews should be coming in soon. If you can wait a few months for the projector then maybe the Max is for you. Otherwise the Pro 2 is awesome. I've had mine for a few months and everything they say is accurate. You can't do better for this price.

    r/projectors · Unpopular Opinion: Are We Experiencing Peak Hype? My Take on the Valerion VisionMaster Max (And the Echo Chamber Review Culture)

    TBH I would expect 90 to 99 percent of users using these "lifestyle" projectors are going to be getting close to or the advertised lumens. Because the majority of the buyers aren't going to be breaking out calibration tools and subsequently getting lower numbers than the advertised lumens. Especially people using these in brighter or non light controlled places, they're going to sacrifice colour accuracy for a brighter more usable picture. Now as many have already pointed out max brightness is an especially tricky number to believe since some brands crank the green up for super high numbers but it does not give a usable picture. As for other marketing complaints, I honestly don't believe the complaints about ebl and dynamic contrast are reasonable either. Clearly the process works and makes the picture better and more usable. Hell sony and most other brands have some sort of dynamic dimming but Valerion has managed to do it way better, so subsequently it is a meaningful selling point. As for lumen marketing contrast marking is also full of fuckery and for some reason valerion is the straw that breaks the back? Idk I have my complaints with my pro 2 and they're even noted in the post, I think I've been the only one here and on avs forms to complain about abberation in the menus. But I'm just not a fan of the unequal criticism to a product that is trying to move the tech and pricing forward to compete with the big 3 who have stayed stagnant and not innovated.

    Salon lumineux
    r/projectors · Unpopular Opinion: Are We Experiencing Peak Hype? My Take on the Valerion VisionMaster Max (And the Echo Chamber Review Culture)

    I believe his take away in the end anyway was to go with the pro2 because you get like 80 percent of the performance. For its performance and price point I think they've innovated more than sony, epson, or jvc, and it really seems that china or these new laser projectors don't get credit for these things until epson or one of the others comes out with similar tech or software(ebl).

    Yup i m keeping ebl off most of the time due time this, i may turn it to low in very dark movies. If movies alternate a lot with bright and dark scene ebl bother me too much for the gain. I can see the benefits of it in very dark scenes but I don't feel the trade off is worth it. The rbe reduction feature is a game changer for me i could never watch movies on warm 1 due to my sensitivity to rbe, it was rainbow paradise, sadly i preferred the color rendering in warm1 but could not use it.

    Yeah measurements is key, id cut a cardboard shape of the tv measurements to be sure . Whether its a tcl hisense or even better a bravia for great color reproduction they will all be magnitude better than most projector. If i compare my 5 year old 75" miniled tcl image and my pro2 there is no match even if the pro 2 is pretty good (and i m in a batcave, black velvet fabric on the walls,ceiling and black carpeting) Still i could not ever fit a 100 or 115" tv in my staircase. Projector have a calmer light bounce though which lends it great for movies.

    r/projectors · Valerion Pro2 vs. Plus2 EBL

    For Rbe its night and day for me. If i focus to see rbe i can still see it in very problematic situation ie a white light in a dark scene but if i m not looking for it i don't. Only down is that rbe reduction doesn't work on 3d content but for whatever reason i m less sensitive in 3d maybe due to the glasses.

    Well not sick but i could very very easily see it, i have used it for nearly a 1000 hours since last january including 300hr of playing games. However with the new update that allow rbe reduction , the rainbows have disappeared. I feel its a game changer for DLP and people sensitive to it

    r/projectors · Valerion Vision Master pro 2

    Just installed it, it is indeed night and day for me too, noise is tiny bit higher due to pitch but i will happily trade that for a lot less rbe. I have to force my eyes on very white text and change quickly position to even see a little bit while before as soon as i changed my focus while there were highlights or even worse white surfaces i could see quite a bit of rbe without even trying. Was still waiting for ota update but decided to download and be done with it

    r/projectors · Valerion Vision Master pro 2

    Have one since last january so for a year its been great, very little fan noise, great color, sharp. I run it at laser 6 for movies,8 for 3d. Projecting on 115" at 11.5' with no keystone. Full velvet on wall,ceiling and floor (its a black hole when no light is on) Its great for playing with my ps5pro. Only fault is ebl for me , i m very susceptible to color tone apparently and i feel it vary too much skin tones when its activated and engage. I keep it off most of the time except in very specific movies. Active contrast is set to medium. If you want i can take picture of my settings (using warm2 as color setting) however i have not touched much of them versus the defaults. Great decision to support the kickstarter for me. We watch nearly a movie a day, i m mostly watching physical (dvd,br and 4k as i have about 4000 titles but half on dvd) using the native netflix and prime app of google tv os when watching them Audio is run on a atmos receiver (from arc for the app, players connected direct to receiver) I m very happy. I m susceptible to rbe but its manageable on warm2, i have not yet tried the update for rbe reduction. My screen has a little bit of laser speckle even though its matte white but it doesn't bother me much. Maybe someday i ll try to change it

    r/projectors · Valerion Visionmaster Max bowing issue

    So just to be devil's advocate here a little bit. The bowing and thermal throttling is a unit-by-unit variation (which in no way excuses it). For example I went through two Pro 2 units which had a very annoying thermal throttling issue where the red laser would tank output by a huge amount when it was up to normal operating temp. Even with external fans it didn't help because operating at 35c (internal temp reported by the OSD) would be fine but then going to 36c+ would start seeing the dramatic drop on the red laser. The proj would operate at at 40-42c with the internal fans and even with a massive external fan I could only get get it down to 36-37c so would still experience the laser throttling. The throttling also affected the native contrast ratio. I posted detailed measurements on the avforums regarding this. The 3rd unit I have is absolutely perfect and performs amazingly. So I truly believe that Youtubers reviewed in good faith, but received cherry picked units which do perform very well. But unfortunately it's a bit of a lottery as an end user. If you're like me and you've got the eye and patience to deal with this kind of thing (and order from Amazon for the easy returns), you *can* get a great unit. This is in no way a total defense of Valerion, their QC is dogshit and when I emailed them about it, with hard evidence re: unit-to-unit variance their response was essentially "yeah, but it's acceptable". But good units absolutely exist... (lol).

    r/projectors · Valerion pro 2 used or XGIMI horizon 20

    They both have the same 1400:1-1600:1 native contrast, similar brightness, but the Valerion EBL algo is better than the Xgimis. Plus the Valerion Pro 2 has RBE Reduction which has completely eliminated any visbility of the rainbow effect for me.

It seems like for a dedicated theater space, the Valerion comes out way ahead, and would be where I go.  You could always get both from Amazon and return whichever looks worse too, Valerion themselves have a satisfaction guaranteed return policy from what I’ve seen

    I have the Valerion Pro 2 and love it. Other posters and reviewers call it a light cannon and that is not an exaggeration. The built in google tv has been a breeze to use. We use the Pro 2 with a 120” remote drop down screen in a room with a decent amount of ambient light (remote blackout shades are in future plans) and it still looks great in the daytime. You will need a nice screen though, which is true with any decent projector. That will probably run $700+ (I think a saw some options around there, but that’s a bit “entry” level tbh). Our screen was on sale for $1100, but it was worth it. Keeps the room looking great when we aren’t using it. Keeps the picture amazing when we are.

    r/projectors · Valerion Pro 2 outside optical zoom range for 120” — how bad is the real-world quality loss?

    Sounds like placement flexibility matters way more than specs here. I’d probably look into the N3 Ultimate too. The lens shift and 0.88–1.7:1 optical zoom range seem pretty relevant for your throw distance and mounting situation. Also the practical thing is that the N3U is an actual unit you can buy now. Personally I’m always a little cautious with high-end gear that’s still mostly tied to crowdfunding pages, since you’re paying upfront and may still be waiting months.

    r/projectors · Valerion Pro 2 outside optical zoom range for 120” — how bad is the real-world quality loss?

    The Valerion is probably the wrong choice for your use case. I would go with an UST if you're planning on having this in your living room as a TV replacement. I was also deciding between a Valerion Pro 2 and an UST Hisense PT1. I'll be putting mine in a basement dedicated theater though so I went with the long throw. If I would have been putting it my LR upstairs I would have got the Hisense no question. The downside is it's harder to find a quality screen that doesn't cost as much as the projector for ust. As far as image quality though from what I can tell the ust keep up with the long throw no problem so it would be better all around.

    r/projectors · Valerion VisionMaster Pro vs OLED

    I used to have the Valerion Visionmaster Pro 2 and a 120 inch screen set up at a viewing distance of 11 feet, although I really liked the immersion of the huge screen, the lifted black levels (even in a dark room) and lack of contrast was the breaking point for me. I ended up returning the projector and buying a 77 inch LG G5 OLED flagship TV for $2,100 refurbished on ebay and tbh it’s probably the best decision I’ve ever made. Not only am I paying less for a flagship OLED TV, i’m also having a way better viewing experience. I have the TV set up on a portable TV stand at 5.3 feet away (basically on the edge of my bed). The true black levels and infinite contrast combined with the immersion due to the TV being so close, it pretty much beats the projector experience by a mile.

    The lifestyle projectors are very enticing for their ease of use and good quality for a decent price, but the difficulty in finding a location to set them up was why I didn’t choose the valerion pro 2. If you have the space to mount a long throw projector on the ceiling, it’s a lot easier to line things up with lens shift and not have to worry about setting it up and taking it down all the time. I went with the epson ls11000 instead and it’s amazing and allowed me to have a giant screen now. I love oleds and the contrast was very nice before but nothing can top the size.

The RBE reduction was also flawless, so now I can enjoy the specular highlights and HDR in full brightness. Just watched an hour of Arrows The Good The Bad and The Ugly. Amazing details and 35mm colour density and blacks. Wonderful. I think Valerion definitely give you value for money.

My reasoning was that Valerion is the top performer but based on the Hookup review Xgimi is close and with way to improve with software. If the image I get is good and the lens shift works for me then I'll keep it even if Valerion is a bit better on the dark department

    r/projectors · Advice on buying a projector

    The max is good, don't like the pro 2. I've seen both the Pro 2 and the LS12000, and both on default settings, the LS12000 destroys the pro 2. I like the Hookup, but I don't like the screens he uses, because it doesn't show the true sharpness and black level. I would choose the LS11000 over the 12000 AND the Max. The LS11000, Horizon 20 max, and refurb HT4550i are all projectors I would choose over any of these. Maybe just me, but I would buy all these over the max.

    r/projectors · Xgimi horizon 20 pro or Valerion visionmaster pro

    With the Black Friday sales is it worth getting a projector from the last generation? The Visionmaster Pro 2 is I think $2299. Granted I suppose everyone has to draw a line somewhere. I would think the Horizon 20 would be the easy choice between these two and the Horizon 20 is the newer product and it's also $250 cheaper than this.

    r/projectors · Early days with the Xgimi Horizon 20 Max

    Appreciate you listing the cons, so many review especially on Youtube ignore the negatives, so refreshing to read! I am tempted by this projector as currently have the Valerion Pro 2 but the laser speckle is awful as he RBE. What's it like on the Xgimi? Their website says it has laser speckle reduction etc. Also, no-one mentions the boot up time. If this is to replace a TV, it needs to start quick. The Valerion is about 7-10 seconds. The Nexigo Trivision I had previously was almost a minute which is no good. I hope they fix the DBL on Dolby Vision issue.

    r/projectors · Hisense C2 Ultra vs Valerion Pro 2 Questions

    Thanks alot for your quick repsonse. Just re-doing me living room, and making space for a 150" screen + projector (I can darken the room/windows). Coming from 110" inch (and a BenQ 1070), its gonna be a "great" step up - at same time i am considering better level of projector than what i had (although I have been super happy with the BenQ 1070 - my first projector ever). I do whatch movies either by streaming or BluRay, but with subtitles as I am from northerm Europe - And after reading on different projectors, I am pretty hooked on the Valerion Pro 2, although if the subtitle is an issue I would have to find another product. How good would you say the work around is, by changing the subtitle color to dark or higher opacity ? And would you believe some eventual upcoming HW update of the Pro 2, will fix it more "proper" later ? Thanks again!

    r/projectors · Hisense C2 Ultra vs Valerion Pro 2 Questions

    Agree on the best and optimal circumstances is black wall, aswell as ceilnig and floors - At current time I wont be able to do that, sinse I dont have a dedicated room for cinema purpose only, using the living is the compromise for now to live with. But at same time I have used living room also with a 110" screen + BenQ for 10 years, mostly at night time, and it still has been a joy with some app. 4000 hours usage :) I understand the current work around with darkend subtitles isnt so good, believe I do feel the same like you, that subtitles to be white. The Hisense C2 doesnt have this issue with subtitles then ? Regarding RBE/Rainbow Effect, I havent really been bothered on that - at least not with the 110" + BenQ W1070

    r/projectors · Valerion Max Launch Value

    Max will have a decent brightness bump but a masive contrast increase, so if you want the best possible contrast and combined with high brightness get the max. Pro 2 will give you good brightness with ok'ish contrast so get it if you only need the brightness and want to save the cash, if you want the best contrast and don't need the best brightness i would look at Nexigo aurora mk II pro which will have Max level contrast for around 2k cheaper.

    r/projectors · Valerion - Quality problems

    Very unfortunate. That's always the risk with pre-orders and the like, you're rolling the dice. The review units seem to all have been superb, pity they can't maintain quality.

    r/projectors · Formovie Theater Premium or Valerion VisionMaster Pro 2

    You make "requires a special screen" sound like a negative, when an ALR screen and a Formovie Theater Premium would absolutely shit on the Valerion from a great height if there was any light in the room whatsoever. The ALR screen is a huge advantage, especially in a living room where total light control may be difficult. Price is not really my concern, that's entirely up to you, but I'd be absolutely shocked if the Theater Premium didn't mop the floor with the Valerion in a living room. And you'll be paying more, as noted. The Valerion is an excellent lifestyle projector by all accounts, and it is even an excellent projector compared to some dedicated long throw home cinema projectors, but the ALR screen would be a huge differentiator in my book.

    r/projectors · Valerion Visionmaster Pro2 or Nebula X1?

    I own both. The short answer is that the valerion is a better projector in terms of image quality and responsiveness. However, the nebula x1 is very flexible and much easier to set up in different environments. I use the nebula as an outdoor projector and for events, but keep the valerion in my dedicated home theatre. The valerion is really fantastic, and I love it. Smarter people than me have said all the different technical aspects of it that I am sure you are familiar with. The nebula, has imo a very similar image quality but loses out on the EBL that the valerion has. That’s the biggest difference and is ultimately a worthwhile deciding factor. However, if you don’t have a dedicated home theatre and plan to use your projector outside or bring it to events, I would go for the nebula for the sheer convenience. It’s a bit laggy - which can be frustrating- but is otherwise a very seamless experience. Happy to answer any questions you might have.

    r/projectors · Valerion Visionmaster Pro2 or Nebula X1?

    For real, screen reflections are THE WORST. No contest there. I’ve seen that video before. I don’t really know what to think about it as my own experience has been VASTLY different. My experience has been that an OLED or mini LED direct view display will trump any projector in black level, brightness, sharpness, color saturation, or any other category of evaluation at the same size. But when you get over 98” (or 83” for OLED) a direct view display is cost prohibitive. So if you absolutely must have a larger screen, there’s no better option than a projector, and the Pro2 or X1 are fine choices. I love my JVC NX7 on my 120” screen for immersion. I get it. It hits different. But if you take those projectors and cast them to a 83 or 98 inch size and compare to OLED or mini LED, the direct view displays will have better picture quality. Maybe not immersion or overall enjoyability which is highly individually subjective. But PQ is an easy win.

    r/projectors · Valerion Visionmaster Pro2 or Nebula X1?

    If you’re used to an OLED and you value picture quality above all else… you won’t like either one of them. I have an a80j, a Bravia 8, and a JVC NX7. The projector is fun because of immersion, but it’s nowhere near the picture quality of either of the OLED screens. And the JVC is considerably superior to either the X1 or Pro2. If I were you, consider the 98” Bravia 5 if you want something close to OLED in PQ and want a more immersive experience than your 77”.

    I bought the Pro 2 but eventually returned it. The rainbow effect was tolerable, but the severe color speckle on a white wall was a deal breaker for me. I also found it too bright as I am mainly using it in a light control room. I think the Pro version might be just right. Aside from that, it is a great projector

    Speckle doesn't get that much better from distance, imo it's really bad. But if you can mount a fixed frame, there is one good and cheap screen that eliminates speckle well. I don't know. I have only seen the W2720i and black levels were terrible.

    r/projectors · Visionmaster pro 2 Vs Benq W4100i

    Don't be so sure. Better blacks, yes. Better PQ in general - I don't know. The w4100 has excellent (!) colors and is calibrated out of the box. It is way, way more accurate than the Valerion.

    r/projectors · Visionmaster pro 2 Vs Benq W4100i

    w4100i has been around for quite a while in Europe. It has lens shift, the Valerion does not. But black levels are shit and way better on the Valerion. Choose your poison. I'd prefer the w4100i since it doesn't have speckle.

    r/projectors · Valerion vs Hisense

    I chose the Hisense C2 Ultra (USA) vs the Valerion for several reasons: * Hisense provides the hardware to Valerion * Valerion's EBL gets comments from WOW to WTF (not everybody is reporting awesome results) * C2 Ultra was $500 cheaper * Valerion wasn't very responsive when I was making my purchase decision which made me nervous As others have stated the Vidaa C3 Ultra appears to be mostly an increase in brightness, and brings Dolby Vision to the Chinese market. I already run my C2 Ultra at 4/10 luminance in my room so don't need more brightness, and it has Dolby Vision. I wish I knew if there were other reasons to consider the C3 instead but I cannot discern any for my needs. I do not use the Hisense equivalent to EBL (Scenario Enhancement) for the same reasons many Valerion users leave it off, it can struggle in mixed lighting scenes and shift the color tone at times). I do use their Dynamic Contrast which I find excellent (Valerion has this too).

    r/projectors · What would be the best 4k projector for under $4000 for this room?

    Seems like the Epson may have deeper blacks vs Valerion, and also no rainbow and likely almost no speckle. The Epson will not have Dolby or its own OS. I'm not sure why Epson continues to ignore Dolby Vision but every chance I get to see movies mastered in it I do it, it does look incredible.

    r/projectors · Looking for a projector with a low input lag

    Here’s what I’ve found in my hunt for something quieter. Valerion VisionMaster Pro 2 is surprisingly quiet at 28dB, great 4K visuals, and insanely low input lag (\~4.6ms). It's laser-based and seems like the best balance for movies + casual gaming. Downsides? Not much user feedback out there yet. Epson LS12000 has amazing HDR and overall image quality. Input lag is solid for casual play, but fan noise reports are mixed. BenQ LK936ST looks perfect on paper (16ms lag, 5100 lumens), but there's barely any info on real-world usage or how loud it actually gets and sony VPL-XW5000ES profuces beautiful image, and fairly quiet. But it’s on the expensive side unless you grab a used unit.

Sounds like valerion has a solid product but just needs to step up on quality control and support response times, but it’s reassuring to hear that they’re actually addressing issues rather than ignoring them like some brands do.

    r/projectors · Hisense Laser Cinema PX3-PRO Vs. VisionMaster Pro 2.

    I don’t have any experience with the Hisense so I can only speak about the Valerion. It’s super bright and the colors pop, which I think is pretty common with DLPs. The black levels are pretty damn good. It’s not the inky blacks that my LG OLED produces but honestly it’s good enough for me and the huge image it produces more than makes up for it. I’m using it in a room that is not light controlled and my setup is far from optimal but it looks fantastic. It runs super quiet and the build quality and design is impressive. I feel like if Apple made a projector it would be something like this (just in terms of material and attention to detail). No major downsides so far. 3D has been okay, nothing mind blowing. Lack of vertical lens shift isn’t great but I knew that going in. Even though it has built-in Google OS, I feel like my ONN dongle works better for consuming content. Overall I’m really happy with the purchase. Only slight regret is that maybe I should have waited for the Max but I’m too impatient for that.

    r/projectors · Valerion Visionmaster Pro 2 - Enabling High Refresh Rate is Noticeably Blurry

    Going to follow up on this after 6 months. I was wondering if the issue was settings in the Nvidia Control Panel and found a recent video on YouTube. After going through changing the registry key and tweaking the sharpness, it's big difference in graphics settings. Note: I restarted the computer after tweaking before the changes were noticeable. [\*NEW\* Best NVIDIA Control Panel Settings for Gaming (2026 GUIDE)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIuYjqBiSPM&t=501s)

    r/projectors · Valerion Visionmaster Pro 2 - Enabling High Refresh Rate is Noticeably Blurry

    120hz 1080p looks great, enable high refresh rate that pushes it to 240hz looks like crap (big enough difference it get's annoying.) Messed with the scaling options in the Nvidia Control panel with no success. Just tried Nvidia Super Resolution and noise, didn't change anything that I can tell. I run DLP Turbo mode (required) in order to get low latency on 165" screen. I have 180" screen from Valerion that's coming. It's possible most people don't notice the issue on high refresh rate on smaller screens but since I'm going 165" to 180" might get worse. The new projector is still an improvement over the UHD38, so maybe if they release a new update I might see improvement. "Valerion projectors offer high refresh rates for gaming, achieving ultra-low input lag like **4ms at 1080p/240Hz**, enabling competitive play, with models like the VisionMaster Max and Pro 2 supporting up to 240Hz at 1080p and 120Hz/60Hz at 4K, using features like "Enhanced Pro" mode and low-latency settings for smooth, responsive gaming on consoles (PS5, Xbox) and PCs, though 4K@120Hz isn't fully supported yet. "

    r/projectors · Help for first projector purchase

    I would strongly recommend investing in a screen. An entry level unit projecting onto a screen will usually outperform a mid tier unit projecting onto an untreated wall. You’ll want a motorized drop down screen with tab tensioning. The tab tensioning is important for avoiding ripples in your screen down the line. Regarding your choice of unit: the Titan noir Kickstarter is currently the best deal in projectors. At $3k it outperforms the Valerion Max, which retails for a couple grand more. I believe that you have until 15 June to order from the Kickstarter. For a less expensive option I’d investigate a secondhand or discounted Valerion Pro2. That unit is also tri-laser and can often be found at a discount as Valerion sent many out to buyers of the Max to use while they waited for the company to finish the Max’s manufacturing. The Max has now been released so there are a number of barely used secondhand Pro2s on the market. If you’re uncomfortable buying secondhand (or can’t find a well priced Pro2) you might also investigate the Nexigo TriVision Ultra, the Xgimi Horizon 20, or the Valerion Streammaster, all of which use laser or hybrid-laser light sources for brightness and gamut that often significantly outperform comparably priced units that use lamp or LED light sources. The Nexigo uses a hybrid laser-LED light source, which is a worse performer than pure laser but avoids the speckling issue inherent to current laser tech to which some users are sensitive. You should also consider whether or not your mount point would benefit from a unit with optical zoom or lens shift. A ceiling mounted projector must mount to your joists (unless you live in an apartment with concrete framing). Depending on where your joists are vis a vis your projection area you might need zoom in order to hit the size at which you’re aiming or lens shift in order to hit your target area with minimal digital keystone, which cuts your resolution if used. Many entry level units lack those features.

    r/projectors · valerion visionmaster max or xgimi titan noir max

    You have the problem right: the Noir Max is better spec’d on paper, though Valerion’s DBE is in a league of its own and does a lot to close the (narrow, all things considered) gap. Whether the IQ improvements are worth the wait and cost vs the (very capable) projector you have now is a question that only you can answer, unfortunately. I use a Valerion Pro2 and personally don’t notice the color/brightness shifting issues that early adaptors wrote up—I suspect they’ve been fixed in firmware, though it’s possible that I’m just not that sensitive to them. Overall the Valerion is the best looking home projector I’ve ever experienced, especially given its sub-$3k price point. Users here are very picky and often have big budgets but you’ll be thrilled with the Max if you decide to keep it. Don’t let forum-induced upgradeitis ruin your enjoyment of this golden age of projectors. There will always be something better around the corner. Personally the wait and cost for the Xgimi weren’t worth it for me—the Valerion already gets bright enough to hurt my eyes and its gamut massively betters my old OLED. If you want to wait and spend on the Xgimi, though, you’ll also enjoy it.

    C3 would be the better pick. Keep in mind sound is important too. So which is noisier and which one has the better onboard sound. I own the c3 ultra it's silent has a great picture (100inch white valerion screen) I've got it paired to a fire tv cube and the Google tv dongle. Sound from the internal speakers is excellent. The built in Chinese operating system is a pain in the arse to deal with. I tried to like it, but nope. Some of the auto settings don't work properly for instance auto keystone just goes to max screen size. Overall very happy with my purchase. I would of chosen the valerion pro2 if they were priced the same. the c3 ultra has better specs and performance at a price better than valerion pro1. Not being able to use the built in operating system is the let down.

    r/hometheater · Best Home Projector for a New Home theater in 2026

    For a dedicated 120–150” home theater at around 10–12 feet viewing distance, you’re already in the range where image quality differences really come down to contrast, black levels, and lens quality rather than just brightness or specs on paper. That’s why models like the Epson LS12000 and JVC NZ500 are still considered the safest “endgame” choices if your priority is true cinema-like depth and you want to install once and not think about upgrades again. The newer triple-laser projectors like the Hisense C2 Ultra, XGIMI Horizon 20 Max, Valerion Pro 2, or JMGO’s upcoming N3 Ultimate are definitely closing the gap and offer a lot more convenience with smart features and easier setup, but they still don’t quite match JVC-level contrast in a fully dark room. Something like the Dangbei DBOX02 Pro is a good example of this newer generation, very easy to place, strong brightness, and flexible enough for changing room plans, but more focused on convenience than absolute reference image quality. If I were you, I’d mainly decide based on whether you want “best possible cinematic image” (Epson/JVC) or “modern all-in-one ease of use” (triple laser options), and the biggest thing to lock in early to avoid headaches is your exact throw distance and screen size before choosing anything.

    Compared to other budget brands, Voplls' performance and product quality are well worth its price. Although I often see them on Amazon, I hope this brand will increase its presence in physical stores or at trade shows. I saw the Valerion Vision Master pro2 and MAX at CES 2025,and it was truly amazing. its design gave it a high-end feel, and the display effect was quite realistic. Of course, it was also quite expensive. It was indeed an axcellent machine.

    Thanks 🙏 I’ll look into it for sure. I ended up already deciding that I’d get the pro2 instead of their visionmaster max or the aetherion, because the difference between the pro2 and the max screens was barely noticeable to me imo (the max did have better blacks and shadows but it was very subtle and not worth the extra money for me), and for the aetherion I didn’t want to go with an UST for a couple different reasons. The titan looks good, definitely better blacks than the aetherion, tbh the actual picture quality looks very very similar to me, I think the noir’s blacks look really good and dark but the picture quality itself was super similar to me tbh. I’ll look into it more, I’m a bit unfamiliar with kickstarter (I’ve used it before but I prefer Amazon due to easy returns in case of an issue and shipping estimates etc) but I’ll keep the noir in mind for sure, thanks!!

    r/projectors · (Newbie) Looking for a nice projector and decided on an awol/valerion, but not sure if I should get Valerion vision master Pro2, Vision master Max, or AWOL Aetherion

    Thanks 🙏 so I decided against the Max and the UST’s and I’m going with a pro2 I think. So the max was kinda out of my budget by a little ways already, I was just considering it because if I’m already spending 2k then I didn’t want to regret spending so much and missing out on a good experience. The UST tbh I don’t know that much about them but I think long throw would be better. I was looking at the aetherion but I didn’t want to spend $2k, wait until may at the earliest, then also have to buy a 150-200 inch screen for it, and I learned with the short throws you absolutely have to buy a screen and level it perfectly etc. I know this might sound like putting ketchup on a $500 steak here lmao but I’m just going to be projecting onto my wall until I buy a projector screen eventually. I think with the pro2 on sale rn that’ll be good enough so that I can be wow’d by the image and when I’m ready I’ll get a nice screen etc. and you were right with my room’s paint especially the max and the pro2 are identical, and with just using my wall for rn it’s definitely not worth the max

    I was absolutely SOLD on the Valerion Pro2 UNTIL I read this review-: [https://www.projectorjunkies.com/anker-nebula-x1-in-depth-review/](https://www.projectorjunkies.com/anker-nebula-x1-in-depth-review/) Read all the way through and he has side by side 3 projector footage which is very exhaustive and comprehensive. Personally I prefer the Nebula for true iris controlled black level dimming and just all round better looking optics. The colour shifting and diming on the Valerion scares me to death albeit not noticable in these videos, it\`s like a dynamic contrast on a tv and I always see the dimming and brightening lag, personally. I have read elsewhere that the Valerion is susceptable to it. Hope this helps and will surely give you a better insight into the different techs.

    r/projectors · Valerion Visionmaster Pro2 or Nebula X1?

    Just compared both. Valerion had better picture quality and the software was smooth compared to Nebula’s laggy performance. The only concern for Pro 2 is the fan noise which I guess would only become apparent after days of use.

    r/projectors · Recommandation between XGIMI and Valerion (or other?)

    I think the Valerion actually has a slightly broader zoom range (AKA distance to the screen), but the Pro2 Valerion doesn't have lens shift, which means you have to align it horizontally and vertically in the precise correct spot or rely on digital keystoning. The Xgimi claims to have both horizontal and vertical lens shift, but apparently you can only use one or the other, and the horizontal shift is pretty small. If you're going from a tripod next to the sofa, it will probably help with getting the image at least closer to centered. The less you have to digitally keystone, the better (ideally none).

    I love mine (VisionMaster Pro2)! Inky blacks, great color, and decently easy to set up. Watch a setup video to get the best results. The only issue is the RGB speckle, but I personally don't mind it too much. Do research, though. Projector Junkies has a great review of it.

    r/projectors · Benq W4100i vs Valerian visionmaster pro 2

    BenQ sent me the W4100i because I had the previous model that had so many issues they gave it to me for free. Theres a weird issue where the light source will shift color temperatures for a flicker and go back. you can force this by chaning the volume on an AVR, it's weird and annoying. The W4100i is bright, really bright it's great, but the black levels are lacking what they could be. Also the Visionmaster pro 2 always goes on sale for $2,400 which is much cheaper than the BenQ. I like the BenQ but it's not better than the Visionmaster and it's more expensive.

    Personally I think Valerion projectors look the best design-wise (I like the industrial look) but they are a bit overpriced imo at least the Pro 2 and Max. I still bought the Max for my living room and I’m very happy with it and its iris and EBL produce deeper blacks than I thought they would even on a white wall.

    I heard the improvement on rbe is not big. Still noticeable. It also add stress to the unit for more noise and maybe shorter life, so No, it’s not the final solution. The RBE is so bad that I want to dig my eye out, and the white subtitles on dark background is so bad that any high contrast scenes is in the garbage zone.

    r/projectors · Screen for Valerion VisionMaster Pro 2

    Hey, I know how difficult it is to choose a right screen and it’s holding me back so far, specifically since a lot of the screens are costly. I have the Pro2 since 6 weeks and temporarily projecting it on my spraypainted white wall. A good source I can recommend you is [this](https://youtu.be/T8BEmAtjc_U?feature=shared) video comparison. It touches the different types of screens and you might be surprised with some of their findings. It’s a lot to digest and imagine what could work the best in your environment. Maybe I can share a bit of my current thought process: - when will you watch content the most? If it’s also during the day, you might want to look into a fresnel screen. Although the Valerion Fresnel screen had some downsides (check the video). - matte screens are better in very dark rooms - check out CLR screens - since the Valerion has a fixed throw distance, you carefully need to think where you’ll place / hang it, because that also contributes to which screen would be needed. Also think of ceiling lights. Right now I’m contemplating if I’ll get a motorized floor protector which gives me added flexibility in positioning - if it’s not what works best it’s also easier to return instead of drilling / (un)screwing a hanging/fixed sceen. Looking into Vividstorm, they ship to NL, so I assume FR as well.

    The glasses are impressive, better 3d than I've seen at the theatre. I didn't have any blu-ray 3d so got the Hobbit series and Guardian of the Galaxy. It's nice to experience but it's also nice to just watch normal. I've been thinking about getting a 4k player and build up a 4k collection but right now just fine with streaming service. Enjoy your purchase, I'm kind of biased but I also don't have another projector to say otherwise but very happy after over 8 months.

    That's great, which items did you bundle? I had an old BenQ 1080p that had a decent picture but no comparison in the brightness and contrast. I was really itching to upgrade, was tired of replacing bulbs too.

    r/projectors · Valerion Vision Master pro 2

    I've had mine since the end of April last year. I was wondering if I should have waited for the max but after setting it up I don't regret the purchase. They did start bundling accessories so I did contact them and worked out a deal on some 3d glasses and a screen. Search for "The Hook Up" on YT. He's very knowledable and has a comparison of the Pro 2 and also one for settings. Overall very happy with the pro2.

    In a similar situation with my BenQ. I've been researching and the Valerion Pro2 or Max would seem to be a good replacement. Rated for 25k hours. I'm not one to take a risk on kickstarter but if it proves to be all that it claims then it will be my next purchase. Hopefully all the bugs will be worked out by then.

    r/projectors · Valerion VisionMaster pro 2 - dark border on the bottom (top) of the screen

    I’m not real sure how the physics of the optics work when flipping or rotating images. Sometimes they do things you would not expect, but it may be possible you’re seeing the inner/top portion of the black light reflector that’s covering part of the front lens blocking part of the light beam. Similar to what happens with some digital cameras when you zoom out all the way when using a hood on the lens.  I don’t know how sensitive these are to the angle, but maybe the projector is not fully level. If you want to test the front lens thing maybe find something dark and flat. Place that flush against that reflector on the front lens, then push it slowly into the light beam if you know what I mean. If it happens to show up in the exact same spot on the screen that reflector may have something to do with it. Maybe it’s crooked, etc.

    I didn’t update the post about the new replacement, apologies for that. The replacement had the same issue as the original one so eventually I gave up and returned both valerion projectors. In the end I did some research and got a BenQ W4100i which has been amazing. For a small extra in price the colors are amazing and blacks look very dark, a significant improvement over the valerion. My two cents would be two avoid valerion, as they might just be selling projectors that look good on paper.

    r/projectors · Help deciding what way to go

    Update: setup the floor rising screen and ended up getting both the Valerion and the Nexigo Aurora pro MKII. Currently I have the screen on the floor in front of my entertainment center, this makes the screen a little closer than I would like. First I setup the Aurora watched a movie on it and even coming from an OLED the black levels were amazing. On issue is that the overall picture is dim except in DV/HDR he bright scenes. The setup is a PIA each time I need to setup the projector position and everyone says not to use keystone as it lowers picture quality. So it takes me about 10 min to get it right. Looking to try a solution to make it easier to position. Next the Valerion. I set it up on a barstool and on top of the box, this made the height about 37” about enough to clear the back of the couch. I aimed it at the screen and with very little effort got it dialed in perfectly. Picture was way brighter than the Nexigo, also had amazing black levels. I did have some issues with a bright line on the screen caused by a reflection from the projector along with RBE and speckle. The next day, went to watch a movie, now with the wife and dogs, here is where the issues started. The projector placement was now if my wife wanted to move around on her side of the couch. The dogs walk on the back of the couch a lot and would block the image or even worse they continually looked into the light of the projector. So ultimately I have to use a UST projector. There was no place I could place the valerion that would work, even tried off center but then I hade alignment issues. So next step is figuring out a way to move the projector back and forth and position it for easy setup.

    Thank you for taking the time to reply, but I didn't quite understand this part: “but that there is manufacturing variability that makes it so some units cannot meet the Pro 2's specifications after automatic calibration so they are sold as Pro's instead.” I'm getting the Pro on Thursday, and I'm a little afraid of being disappointed and regretting not getting the Pro 2. The price difference played a big part in my decision :D

Unless the Visionmaster Pro2 has a zoom or something similar. I guess I'm kind of in between those two right now, another thing I am worried about is the RAM with the X1 not being the best might make it a bit laggy as well.

    I also am evaluating these two PJs. But for me the lack of lens shift on the Valerion is the deal breaker, even though most reviewers are saying Valerion is better. Are you going to be able to place the PJ in the perfect position in your living room (I am not able to)? BTW, too bad that the Xgimi is now sold out on Amazon. It was a good price for 1750, quite a bit cheaper than the Pro2. It is available for the same price on Xgimi's own site, but then I do not get the interest free split payments option.

    r/hometheater · Help a Noob Choose 120" UST + Screen ($5k Budget) - LS800 vs. Aurora Pro vs. Others?

    Some of the reasons why I would lean towards a TV over the projector are as follows: 1.) You talk about wanting brightness for ambient light situations when it's not perfectly dark. A TV will be vastly superior over a UST projector even with an ALR screen in this regard. Superbowls, parties, even binge watching TV shows are very rarely done in pitch blackness. 2.) Your concern about having the projector so far out in front of the screen to get the 120". Just go with a large format TV and not worry about that. 3.) Where is the center channel location if you go with a UST projector? I would maybe go with a normal ceiling mounted projector like the Valerion Pro2 over a UST if you must go projector. 4.) The 120" screen looks too big and too high to begin with as it's very close to your side wall. Leaves little room for an 8-9" wide speaker to be "toeing -in" towards your seated location. 5.) You mention casual viewing. A TV is an order of magnitude easier to use day to day than any projector. Especially if others than yourself are going to be attempting to operate it. 6.) Then you have all the spec improvements a TV brings over a projector such as more vibrant color, better contrast and black levels, improvement in brightness and ambient lighting situations as stated before, superior motion handling, lower input lag just to name a few. I would not be buying a projector at the end of 2025 unless I was going with a 135" or larger screen. The trade offs to me seem too great to overcome the strengths of a large TV. Some 100" TVs do not physically fit into every space but even in those situations, I would likely go with an 85" TV. I know some disagree and that's okay.

    Holy cow ok! This is so helpful thank you…the $500 or so jump to the Pro2 was more than I wanted to spend overall for upgrading our space because I know I’ll need a mount or shelf and other minor items to help install. Ok phew! I was wondering if I should go with a wall shelf or wall/ceiling mount so I’m figuring it out now. Seems like a wall shelf or wall cabinet like IKEA Besta would have to be pretty deep to accommodate the projector because the manual asks for about 6” behind the projector for breathing room, so I’m guessing I may have to do a mount instead I’m not sure. If I do a wall cabinet I get to hide gaming consoles and controllers etc…I also have to figure out the right height as well to avoid as much alignment changes as possible…super excited to see how this turns out..any other tips you have are greatly appreciated!!

    r/projectors · Valerion Visionmaster Pro2 or Nebula X1?

    I haven't owned both, but I can tell you what my research found last month and how the Pro2 has gone for me. The Pro2 has been a great experience. EBL is great. There's precisely one caveat for me, which is it has issues with fans ramping up and down repeatedly. You wouldn't think it's that hard to mitigate, but so far they haven't. If you're watching action movies you're not going to notice, but if you're watching suspenseful things it is more noticeable. The X1 gets a lot more firmware updates. My impression is the X1 is Nebula's genuine flagship, and treated as such. Whereas Valerion have (most likely) been laser-focused on the delayed Max flagship and so there's been minimal firmware updates. The X1 is quite a bit cheaper. I've seen the X1 on sale for something like £1800. By contrast the Pro2 is always £2599, but sometimes comes with a free screen. The X1 is very easy to carry, but the Pro2 comes in a good foam carry case. At least in the UK, you can buy a 3-year warranty for the X1 via Amazon. Whereas Valerion offer a free warranty registration to 2 years. The Pro2's onboard Google Home works very well, whereas I've heard the X1 is kinda underpowered. If you care about built-in sound, the X1 sound is supposed to be superior, but the Pro2 sound is pretty respectable too. I'm very happy with my Pro2, except for the fan issue. It seems to not just be a me thing - I've seen several mentions on various forums. Considering building a Hushbox if they don't patch it soon.

    r/projectors · What would be the best 4k projector for under $4000 for this room?

    Keep in mind, this is an informal comparison; he goes into far greater detail with comparisons and reviews on his main channel. Regardless, the out-of-the-box accuracy is a very good detail to be aware of for a prospective buyer. He matched the settings and made the comparison as fair as possible without calibration. The green tint may be due to the Epson running at 100% laser luminance. Though the valerion was also set to max laser luminance and it has no such issues. This is a real out-of-the-box experience. Both projectors were factory reset and set up using the best recommended settings from AVSForum members. Neither one was calibrated, so any issues you see with the Epson apply to the Valerion as well. The difference is the Valerion still managed to look this good without professional calibration, which is a big deal for the average user.

    In regards to the Valerion, I'm concerned about the throw distance for my setup. I have a bookshelf in the back of my room, so rather than install a ceiling mount, I just built a simple box placed on top of the bookshelf in which I mounted the projector upside down. Approximately 15'6" throw distance to the opposite wall. Based on the projector central calculator, at 15.5" and 1.00x zoom (no zoom), the Valerion Pro2 would project an 143" image. Is it true that with the .9 optical zoom, I can actually reduce the image to a minimum of 128.7" (143x.9)?

    r/projectors · Ditching my tv for a 120'' projector

    you’re not gonna hear this from probably anyone, but the Nexigo Trivision Ultra is absolutely the best of both worlds. Down to 4 ms response at 240 hz at 1080, 2600 iso lumens, beautiful 4k pixel shifting and it’s easy to set up. If you wanted to really kill it for gaming, Nexigo showed off the Trivision mk2 at CES25. They advertise it will release end of 25 and boast a grand sub 1 millisecond response rate, 4k lumens. Genuinely a fantastic projector, and only 1500 on sale on amazon. Only thing to make sure is that you don’t keystone it, as it will lower the input lag (that’s general knowledge of any projector) except the Valerion Visionmaster or any others that do optical zoom. Which leads me to my next point. If you have the 2500/3000, the Valerion Visionmaster pro 2 is the single best sub 5k dollar projector on the market. It has EBL (Enhanced Black Level) Tech that makes dark scenes insanely vibrant without shifting colors blue or green. 4k 120 hz gaming with 4 ms response.

    r/projectors · Valerion - Quality problems

    Wait...all that and they start off with this? Fan noise: The fans do not operate consistently, leading to significant differences in operating noise levels. It's like....yeah if they come on when it reaches a certain temp there will be different operating noise levels. This cant be real. Find out if theyre an authorized Epson dealer. Thats the worst criticism of a projector Ive ever seen. Funnily enough...they seemed to do exactly what you mentioned about drawing conclusions too quick.

    r/projectors · Valerion - Quality problems

    As a pro owner, I'm very happy with my purchase and genuinely impressed overall. Again, anything like this is a risk that could be said about most things you buy. Look at the Nvidia products as of late and intense recall issues? Some of these bugs exist. Also this is a sister company of AWOL so it's important that they get things right and honor warranties, overall I didn't have any issues with my interactions with the company as was able to contact and ask questions and got nearly quick responses. It's like with anything when buying something on the bleeding edge, there is always a risk. While there is this issue, there are also a lot of positive comments and reviews on the facebook channel. Also, the source has never really been confirmed, and it's one thing for someone to post something they have seen, but it's another for it to come from a first-party source. So, while I wouldn't dismiss what is mentioned, I would question the validity of the claims, and would be better if the company / dhop can make a public statement on this.

    r/projectors · Valerion - Quality problems

    It’s understandable to be frustrated when expectations don’t fully align with the final product, especially when a brand gains traction quickly. althoguh it’s worth noting that early-stage production runs often go through growing pains, and many respected brands have had similar experiences when scaling up. I’ve seen plenty of satisfied users with the Valerion Pro 2, while there are areas for improvement as with any tech product. Of course, retailers have their own standards and business decisions to make, but that doesn’t necessarily mean the product isn’t worth considering. I’d be more interested in seeing how Valerion responds to these concerns moving forward, rather than writing them off completely.

    r/projectors · Hisense C2 Ultra - Is It Worth It?

    What I don’t get is why AWOL decided to spin out Valerian as a separate entity. That usually concerns me, but perhaps it was more risk management for a riskier project that really pushes the boundaries. If it didn’t work out they didn’t want it to impact their brand. I’d like to think that the risk is no longer there as customers have their products and all seems to be going well, but it’s still a concern and so I’d probably like to wait and see what happens They look incredible though, I’m super tempted to just go for the Valerian

    r/projectors · Hisense Laser Cinema PX3-PRO Vs. VisionMaster Pro 2.

    Have you considered the c2 ultra? I finally took the plunge and have one arriving tomorrow. I was on the fence between the horizon s max, the c2, and pro 2. The s max stopped being on sale (went back to $1900 instead of $1600), dramatically decreasing the value benefit. Then it became a shoot out between the c2 and pro2.. and while from a purely picture quality standpoint the pro 2 is probably better.. I wasn't sure if was gonna be $500 better. On top of that, I plan on actually moving it around, and taking it places, so and the c2 won out on those features, with the built in gimbal and slightly better sound capabilities.

    r/projectors · Need HALP! First time buying a projector

    Appreciate it. I ended up going with the xgimi horizon s max. Got out for 1609 on Amazon and found it really hard to justify spending almost $900 more for what looked like a some what better projector. Unless they were on discounted even more

    r/projectors · Epson 12000B still the king of Dark room PJ choice in 2024?

    Check out Valerion if you haven’t already. If you can work with short throw, it might be a solid alternative for you. Their second highest offering Pro 2 compares well with 5050 and even JVC. The top offering Max will start shipping only in May, but it has vertical lens shift and dynamic iris.

    r/projectors · 5050ub vs Valerion Visionmaster Pro2

    I think the Visionmaster Pro2 or max is the go here, look at the [JVC NZ8 comparison video](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ujlSRtiwjxw) by The Hook Up. The valerion obviously falls short of the 16k projector but damn it honestly shows a fantastic value proposition and beats it out in some scenes. Because they already have pro 2 units ready to go with great reviews I decided to go for it but I went for the MAX model which I feel like is a bit of an gamble because it could be poorly executed in the end and wait 6 months (or more if delays) when I could've just gotten the pro 2. The other gamble is that competitors could come out with something better around a similiar price point. No doubt they will also be working on a new visionmaster by the time it actually gets to me. If you do decide to make a last minute pledge, please consider using one of the many referral links from the [Kickstarter comments](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/valerionvisionmaster/valerion-visionmaster-cinematic-grade-rgb-laser-projector/comments), or [mine](https://valerion-visionmaster-cinematic-grade.kckb.me/5c00e235) to help someone out at no cost to you :) Good luck!

    r/projectors · Visionmaster pro 2 vs TK710sti

    Is go BenQ. As others have mentioned, valerion has yet to prove itself long term. Also, the Nebula X1 kind deflated the valerion IMO. If I were to spend that much on a lifestyle projector, I'd go with the X1. For a real home theater though, get BenQ or Epson unless you can afford Sony and JVC.

    r/projectors · Valerion - Quality problems

    I read the test on projectorcentral from the pre-production sample and the issues they mentioned ( black pumping and fan noise) are just worse in real world products. They are actually too expensive for what they just offer. Even 1000$ is too much for such inferior product 🤷

    r/projectors · Projector Recommendation Request - $3000 budget

    VisionMaster Pro2, I bought the 120" bundle off of Valerion's website that comes with the ceiling mount and fresnel screen for $4200(just checked, sadly the bundle is now $5k) and it is AWESOME, I seriously couldn't be happier with it(without spending another arm and leg). I also wouldn't want anything less, especially if your goal is to have a television replacement. It's my first projector, I bought it to replace my 75" Sony Bravia. I took a big risk because I had no personal experience with projectors before this, it's also a huge endeavor to setup, but despite all that I am so happy I pulled the trigger. Seeing that massive screen light up puts a huge smile on my face every time. But I cannot stress it enough, if you want something that will have the quality of and act as a 100+ inch television, you don't want anything less than the Pro2. The fresnel screen also plays a big part in having the picture look amazing even in rooms that have ambient lighting, be it windows or lamps. If you don't get a fresnel screen, you'll probably want to turn all of your lights off whenever you're doing anything. But this projector is so good, that it'll still look great regardless. Another big plus to the VisionMaster that I dont see mentioned enough, it uses GoogleOS. Which is, imo, the best OS for smart tvs(and projectors!). Seamless youtube, netflix, Disney plus, etc. integrations. I will say though, getting the screen assembled and mounted and finding the perfect location/distance for mounting the projector on the ceiling is not easy, both physically and mentally lol

    OP They did a side by side comparison of the Epson and Valerion https://www.reddit.com/r/projectors/s/z9TOrxH7P2 The Valerian is a lot cleaner and comes in well under budget. They have it on Amazon and with prime day tomorrow it might be on sale. https://amzn.to/4lKdbma but for under 3K it’s a great projector

Questions fréquentes

Le VisionMaster Pro 2 est-il bon pour le cinéma ?

Le consensus Reddit est très favorable à son contraste dynamique, ses couleurs, son HDR et son niveau de détail, particulièrement dans une salle sombre. L’EBL peut toutefois provoquer des variations visibles et perdre une partie de son intérêt avec des sous-titres clairs.

Convient-il aux jeux vidéo ?

Les utilisateurs Reddit le jugent très réactif et adapté au jeu occasionnel comme aux consoles. Certains signalent néanmoins une image moins nette dans les modes à très haute fréquence, et les témoignages divergent sur la prise en charge du VRR.

Le speckle et l’effet arc-en-ciel sont-ils gênants ?

Les avis Reddit sont très variables selon la sensibilité de chacun et la toile utilisée. Les mises à jour et le mode de réduction atténuent fortement l’effet arc-en-ciel pour beaucoup d’utilisateurs, mais ne le suppriment pas chez les plus sensibles, tandis que le speckle reste parfois rédhibitoire.

Est-il fiable sur la durée ?

Plusieurs propriétaires Reddit rapportent des mois d’utilisation sans incident. D’autres mentionnent des alimentations défaillantes, des poussières internes, des pixels morts, des ventilateurs irréguliers ou des bugs, ce qui entretient des réserves sur le contrôle qualité et le support.
