In today's increasingly rich landscape of smart home products, projectors have become the preferred choice for more and more consumers due to their large-screen viewing experience. Dangbei, as a dark horse brand in the rapidly developing projector industry, has been committed to creating high-quality, high-performance projector products. In the current highly competitive projector market, Dangbei, with its outstanding technical strength and innovative ideas, has successfully brought users a brand-new viewing experience. Recently, Dangbei has launched a new product, the D6X series projector.
For users who have purchased a projector, the biggest concern is often low usage after the purchase, leaving it to collect dust in a corner. The D6X series from Dangbei is designed to address this issue. With a 6.95-inch touch-sensitive flexible screen and a dual-screen design, this series enhances the projector with more functions, ensuring it doesn't gather dust anymore.
The series includes the standard D6X projector and the "Pro" version D6X Pro projector. According to official announcements, the main differences between these two products lie in smart voice control and optical parameters, especially the light source. The Dangbei D6X uses a three-color laser with excellent monochromaticity, high brightness, strong directionality, and correlation, covering 136% sRGB color gamut to display more colors. On the other hand, the Pro version utilizes ALPD laser with advantages like high brightness, wide color gamut, and no speckle. Apart from the light source, the two products also differ in brightness and chip technology.
So, how does this newly added small screen perform? How well does the BeD6X Pro function as a projector? Today, we will use a review to let everyone experience the answers to these questions.
Touch-sensitive dynamic screen, multiple uses for more fun
The biggest highlight of the BeD6X Pro projector is the 6.95-inch touch-sensitive AI dynamic screen. This screen is similar in size to a phone and feels smooth to use, almost like a small tablet. The dynamic screen has two main functions: one is dual-screen interaction, making the use of the projector more efficient and convenient; the other is independent use of the small screen, with a variety of functions to keep the projector from being idle.
First, let's take a look at the small screen functions of this AI dynamic screen. This dynamic screen can truly be described as multi-functional, without an increase in price. A dynamic screen is equivalent to a floating lyrics speaker, an electronic album, a dynamic clock, or an art gallery.
When not using the projector, the D6X Pro can still be used to listen to music, or placed on the desk as an electronic photo frame or clock. It truly maximizes its utility, eliminating the worry of a pricey projector sitting idle, making every penny spent worthwhile. The actual user experience is also very smooth, whether it's switching clock styles or adjusting song progress, everything feels seamless without any lag.
Let's take a look at this dual-screen collaboration feature. With just a press of a button and a gentle swipe, you can activate the projection function. A light flip enables seamless switching between the large screen and the small screen. It can also serve as a touchpad to assist in remote controlling the large screen, allowing you to navigate and interact with the projection through swiping and tapping. This way, even if the remote control is not within reach, you can still perform basic operations.
An All-in-One Gimbal, a New Portable Projection Experience
In addition to its dynamic screen, another eye-catching feature of the D6X Pro is its all-in-one gimbal design. This design solves the problem of thin and light projectors lacking a stand, as it comes with a built-in gimbal device. There's no need for fixed installation or height adjustment, with a super wide 225-degree angle that allows projection from tabletop to ceiling. Whether indoors or outdoors, you can pick it up and start projecting, breaking free from environmental constraints and unlocking more projection scenarios.
Take a look at our test screen, from bottom to top, it's almost like the projector has done a full circle. The internal axis uses carbon steel material, the same as that of laptop hinges, ensuring the D6X Pro stays stable at an angle and significantly extends the lifespan of the axis. The "tightness" of this axis is excellently balanced, as even a girl with less strength could effortlessly operate the device during our tests.
Furthermore, the D6X Pro projector cleverly integrates the sound system with the bracket. This unique design not only gives it a slimmer body, but also optimizes internal space and enhances heat dissipation while ensuring performance.
Not only that, the Beidou D6X Pro has also streamlined its interface options, featuring just one HDMI 2.1 port, one USB port, and a power port. With no more tangled mess of cables, it gives you a clean and tidy projector setup.
ALPD Laser Light Source Leads the High-Definition Visual Feast
As an intelligent projection product, the D6X Pro not only excels in design philosophy but also delivers impressive audiovisual performance. Let's now take a look at how well the D6X Pro projector performs in its primary function.
From the official configuration data, we can see that the D6X Pro from Dangbei is equipped with an ALPD laser light source. This is not Dangbei's first product to feature an ALPD laser light source, and in previous products, this type of light source has shown excellent performance, with the D6X Pro being no exception.
The ALPD laser light source boasts high brightness, high contrast, compact size, low power consumption, no speckle issues, and a clear picture. This has significantly enhanced the performance of the D6X Pro, starting with its brightness of 1200 ANSI lumens. As we all know, brightness is a crucial indicator for a projector. A projector with high brightness can adapt to more complex lighting environments, providing a better viewing experience.
To test the brightness performance of the D6X Pro, we specifically chose the brightest time of the day, around three to four in the afternoon, when sunlight is most abundant. With the curtains drawn, whether playing blockbuster movies or nature documentaries, the brightness and clarity of the images are excellent, showing clear details of facial expressions, clothing, and bird feathers.
The D6X Pro projector also features a rare 0.33 DMD chip, which provides improved 1080p resolution. Paired with the AI Color Engine Pro, the D6X Pro can decode and display 4K quality, delivering clearer and more detailed images.
We can see that this 4K high-definition image looks very comfortable when projected by the D6X Pro projector from Dangbei. The picture has clear and delicate colors, without excessive exposure or speckle, as well as heavy chromatic aberration or color distortion.
The D6X Pro projector still comes equipped with motion compensation and a high MEMC refresh rate of up to 120Hz, effectively reducing motion blur and frame drops, providing you with smooth and clear dynamic images.
The All-Knowing AI Visual Algorithm, a new frontier in intelligent projection
With the advancement of AI technology, more and more fields are incorporating AI, and projectors are no exception. The D6X Pro is equipped with the All-Knowing AI Visual Algorithm, aiming to enhance user experience through AI technology.
The addition of AI algorithms brings features such as automatic screen entry, automatic focus, obstacle avoidance, and automatic keystone correction to the D6X Pro. During testing, we rotated the projector, moving the projected image from the wall to the ceiling. We could clearly see that throughout the entire process, the projected image remained distortion-free and properly aligned, without noticeable blurriness. When the image stopped moving, it immediately refocused and corrected its alignment. Within seconds, a clear and well-aligned image reappeared before us.
Fluent system, intelligent voice response at lightning speed
In terms of internal systems, the Dangbei D6X Pro is equipped with the all-new Dangbei OS 4.1. Dangbei's systems have always been known for their fluency, and OS 4.1 is no exception. During use, whether it's scrolling up and down or switching left and right, everything is smooth and seamless, without any lag. The homepage still features a customizable modular design, giving users considerable customization options.
Far-field smart voice is still useful, whether for listening to music or checking the weather. Just give it a command, and you'll immediately receive a response.
Fashion design perfectly integrates into home aesthetics
The D6X Pro from Dangbei boasts a remarkably stylish appearance. With its fashionable milky white color scheme, whether placed on a desk, a bedside table, or a coffee table as an accent piece, it effortlessly harmonizes with the surrounding home decor, seamlessly blending in. Its versatile design concept not only injects a fresh vitality into living spaces but also elevates the overall quality and style of the environment.
The environmentally friendly ABS resin material, combined with a smooth curved edge design, exudes warmth and softness. The rose gold-rimmed lens adds a touch of exquisite fashion. The simple panel has no extra decorations, giving it a clean and sophisticated look that appears luxurious and unforgettable.
It is worth mentioning that the body design of the D6X Pro is compact and mini, not only exquisite and cute, but more importantly, it does not take up valuable space in the home.
At the end:
After a detailed experience with the D6X Pro projector from Dangbei, it is easy to see that this product not only showcases a more user-friendly creative design concept but also reaches new heights in performance and user experience. Its exquisite appearance, outstanding performance, and user-centric design concept reveal to us the new trend of modern home technology.
The projector market is undergoing an unprecedented era of transformation. With consumers' increasing pursuit of high-quality living and the rapid development of technology, projectors have evolved from being a single audiovisual device in the past to becoming intelligent centers that integrate audiovisual entertainment, smart home control, interactive experiences, and more. The D6X Pro from Dangbei epitomizes this transformation, successfully initiating an innovative start for projectors, expanding the functions of small screens, and enhancing the experience of large-screen viewing. It can be said that it is not just a projector anymore but a smart companion for future home living.
In the continuously growing projector market, only by meeting users' functional pain points and making corresponding upgrades can one stand firm in the market. We look forward to Dangbei bringing us more innovative products like the D6X Pro, not only meeting consumers' pursuit of high-quality audiovisual enjoyment but also leading the new trend of smart homes.
