WEMAXNova 4K UHD Ultra Short Throw Projector, 150" ALPD Laser TV with Smart Android TV, HDR10 Home Theater, Dolby Audio DTS-HD, UST Projector for Movie, WiFi Bluetooth, Built in Google Assistant

Overall this is an exceptional short throw projector for those that have the space and are thinking of getting rid of their TV. Straight out of the box, product quality is clear to see. It feels like a high-end piece of equipment, which for $2000+ it is, but in the land of ultra short throws it really isn't. I've never had a VAVA to compare it to but I know it's more compact and a nicer looking box. Everything feels quality.One small thing, is I wish it had a source button on the remote, so that I didn't have to access my Fire TV through the menus.I used this on a plain white wall and I have to say picture quality was excellent. You do get a wave at the top though if you have any imperfections in your wall. No way near as unwatchable and scary as people led me to believe with these delicate lasers though. My wall is very uneven and the picture was still exceptional. Colors pop, brightness really good. It's nowhere near as bright as the Bomaker Polaris, but that thing is like the sun when it starts up - practically blinds you. Sound through my soundbar was good also, and plenty good enough without.Make no mistake, this is an excellent projector and generally available for at least $500 less than the VAVA so I think it's the better buy.The real thing that tips it over the edge though is the customer service. OUTSTANDING!Unlike Bomaker, who never replied to my messages, the guys and girls at Wemax are just on it.They reply super fast, are extremely knowledgable and hunt down answers to questions they don't know, like their lives depended on it. Honestly, I've never been more impressed with customer service than this one. Which is a huge concern when buying high-tech equipment. VAVA responded to my questions too, but nothing like these guys. They were superheroes. It's also great to know that were something to go wrong, I can send it off to them in the US (I believe California) and they will repair it and ship it back free of charge. No sending it over to China to get it fixed, no uncertainty, no costs. That's huge.In short, a few little nitpicky things. The remote as I said, woulda been nice to have a few more customisable options in terms of picture settings.But for sheer plug-in and play this thing is a beast.You won't be disappointed!

Had this projector for about a week now. Let me get this out of the way first, I LOVE this projector! With that said, here are my notes for considering the WeMax Nova:1. SETUP PROCESS: The Nova itself is very easy to setup and prompted guide helps you tune the specs. It is easy to "fine tune" the picture using the keystone correction in the menu.2. IMAGE QUALITY: The picture is excellent, contrast is very good, colors are vibrant and image is crisp & sharp. With any laser projector, you should expect deeper colors, but the Nova is very even across a wide color spectrum. You definitely get darker darks, whiter whites, and it lends well for a crisp image quality.3. SOUND QUALITY: The Nova comes with an excellent soundbar, and sounds significantly better than previous TVs i've owned. I'll admit, I only listened to it for a few minutes before plugging in my surround sound system.4. FAN NOISE: In standard picture mode, the fans run at a very low speed - I don't really notice them at all. When I set picture brightness to "high", the fans spin up and are a little more noticeable, but not excessively like it's about to take off. If you're watching anything even at low volume, it's not going to be noticeable.SUGGESTIONS/IMPROVEMENTS:A. REMOTE CONTROL: The Nova comes with a bluetooth remote, which is just fine for me and works as you'd expect. I'd like for it to be integrated with smarthome devices like Alexa and Google Home. This would be preferred because of how I've setup my home - so this critique may only apply to me. I'm still researching what solutions are out there.B. INPUT MODE: The Nova has an input option in settings, which allows us to select Five TV or other contents input. However, it resets once turned off. So every time you power the Nova "on", you need to go to settings and select again.CONCLUSION: As stated, overall, this projector has exceeded expectations and comes highly recommended. Compared to other brands, the Nova is definitely a better bargain for the quality of projector that you are getting. The only one that comes close to performance is maybe the Optoma, but also comes at a greater cost. Upgrading to a laser projector is definitely an investment, but you likely have some idea of what you're getting yourself into. The difference between a standard LED TV and this projector is night and day. If you're looking to make that leap, this is definitely the projector you want to choose...and a screen is highly recommended!

This was an absolutely terrible purchase. It's actually a white labeled projector from another manufacturer so there is no actual support from Wemax. They will not service the unit and there are no replacement parts available. My DMD chip overheated due to poor design and now I have white dots all over the screen that is not fixable. The internal fans that should have been cooling the unit to prevent damage to the internal parts are also very loud.You can get a 100" TV from many places for less than this piece of garbage. The TV will have better picture, no annoying fan noises, and will be a much better viewing experience.I will attach a photo that shows a bright white dot above the Wemax logo, this is one of many that will appear. Also notice how washed out the blacks are in a dimly lit room.My final complaint, and probably most severe, is that the safety sensor to turn off the laser when someone crosses the path of the laser will stop working. If you have a child, like we do, they could be blinded by the laser if it does not turn off. It was an easy decision to replace this with a large TV.
