Instead of having to be mounted ten feet away from the projection screen, either with a ceiling mount or on a stand, the VAVA sits mere inches from the screen. The VAVA 4K Projector doesn’t look like your typical home projector with a lens protruding from one side towards the screen, and that’s primarily due to function. VAVA Ultra-Short Throw 4K Projector – Design and Features At $3,500 it’s certainly not an inexpensive display option, but still falls in the low- to mid-range of 4K laser projector prices. It has Harman/Kardon stereo speakers built into the front, can display an image up to 150 inches using ALPD 3.0 laser technology, accepts HDR10, and only needs to sit less than a foot from the projection wall. Relative newcomer VAVA, founded in 2015, is going up against that big name competition with the simply-named VAVA 4K Projector (see it on VAVA's website). Major display manufacturers Optoma and LG announced their products during CES this past January.
VAVA UST PROJECTOR FULL
They have depot service at their US Region office in California.There’s a projector trend over the past couple years that’s hitting full steam in 2019: ultra-short throw 4K projectors with built-in soundbars.

(The two screens I used in the course of this review were 100” diagonal, and 120” diagonal respectively.) Before I forget, the warranty is 1-year parts and labor.


VAVA says the projector will support screen sizes up to 150” diagonal. With the right screen, the VAVA can handle a room with a good bit of ambient light, as you can see in some of the photos in this review. As we like to say: "there are always trade-offs." But, overall it was hard not to like this VAVAīefore we get into details, I wanted to talk about screens a bit more. It's brightness for the price is rather good, but there are significantly more expensive competitors, at least a couple of which are noticeably brighter. Nothing too serious.Īlso, though, the VAVA could be brighter. It's priced aggressively, but does have a rough edge or two (including a shorter warranty than most).
VAVA UST PROJECTOR TV
I've awarded the Vava Laser TV our Special Interest award. The point being, they don’t have to design everything from scratch, and I expect TI provides a lot of great support to their projector manufacturers. (For example “Brilliant Color” found on many DLPs, is from TI, but gets configured by the manufacturer, so that they work a bit differently. That's because Texas Instruments not only makes the DLP chips but offers manufacturers a range of optical and image processing solutions, essentially the building blocks of a projector. Here’s a thought: VAVA had a very good chance of getting the picture pretty right, their first time out, thanks to this being a 4K UHD DLP projector. Despite early promises from the manufacturers of Q2 2019 shipments, they all slipped into Q4 two, one being this VAVA CES 2019 saw the initial announcement for this Laser TV as well as announcements of competing projectors from Optoma, Nebula, LG and more. Officially the VAVA Laser TV is VAVA's model LT002, although they don't focus on that, rather that it is the VAVA 4K UHD Laser TV.Ģ019 saw the announcement of a number of Ultra Short Throw projectors, including the VAVA Laser TV, which started shipping in Q4, 2019. Like all Laser TVs, it will work best in rooms with ambient light when paired with one of the screens designed for both UST projectors (Laser TVs), and ambient light rejection (ALR). It will sit several inches away from and several inches below your screen. With an MSRP of only $2799, it claims 2500 ANSI lumens, at a price point well below the better-known brand names. The VAVA Laser TV LT002 looks to be about the least expensive projector of its type to hit the market to date.
