PPTV Laser Cinema MAX1 Review: The distance between the living room and the cinema is only one

Why do modern people spend less and less time watching TV at home, while more and more people go to the cinema? Many people believe that one of the important reasons is that the screen in the cinema is much larger than that of ordinary TV, and the visual effect it brings is more shocking.

After all, a large screen that is hundreds of inches in size can not only accommodate more display content, but from the perspective of watching movies, the more prominent picture tension and visual immersion brought by the giant screen in the theater are definitely incomparable to the traditional TV of only a few dozen inches at home.

Therefore, in recent times, a new form of product in the television industry - laser TV, has provided traditional TV users with a new way to upgrade their living rooms into giant-screen cinemas.

As a smart TV that holds both content and hardware as its trump cards, PPTV will not miss the opportunity to enter the new field of laser TV. PPTV Laser Cinema MAX1, which won the "China Created Product of the Year" award during this year's CES in the United States, is the first shot fired by PPTV smart TV in the era of laser TV.

The smallest PPTV is also a "giant screen" TV

Anyone who knows a little about laser TVs will feel that this type of product is like a complex of contradictions. It can easily display a screen of hundreds of inches, and its host device is much smaller than that of traditional TVs.

Taking PPTV Laser Cinema MAX1 as an example, it is definitely the smallest one among PPTV smart TVs. Its dimensions of 420mm*367mm*146mm and weight of about 10kg are similar to those of a medium-sized desktop computer, making it portable and mobile.

At the same time, PPTV Laser TV is well aware of the special position of TV in the home environment. Laser TV certainly cannot be just a simple square box. It should be built into a new product that can add taste and design to the home environment.

In outlining the exterior contours, PPTV Laser Cinema MAX1 cleverly incorporates the "silk" element, emphasizing the combination of curved surfaces and arcs. Even for the ultra-short-throw projection equipment that must have an opening on the top of the body, the exterior details that are difficult to smooth out have been made as smooth and soft as possible.

Coupled with the obsidian body and the black and gold color scheme that runs through the body, the PPTV Laser Cinema MAX1 placed in the living room is like a carefully polished artistic stone sculpture, luxurious and atmospheric, yet extremely stable, and can be perfectly integrated with any high-end decoration style.

The exquisite appearance of PPTV Laser Cinema MAX1 is enough to leave a deep impression. However, when the TV breaks through the limitation of the screen, this smallest PPTV laser TV will present you with a display area beyond imagination.

Thanks to the display characteristics of ultra-short-throw projection, PPTV Laser Cinema MAX1 can present a picture up to 100 inches at a distance of 21 cm from the wall, and the maximum projection size can reach an unimaginable 300 inches.

This means that when using PPTV Laser Cinema MAX1, you don’t have to consider the placement issue like traditional projection equipment. You can still place it against the wall like a traditional TV and retain your original usage habits.

However, the PPTV Laser Cinema MAX1, which uses a wall or an anti-glare curtain on the wall as its screen, can adjust the projection size between 80 inches and 300 inches at will, and can easily operate within the display area that traditional TVs cannot reach.

You should know that when the display area reaches 100 inches, the width of the screen exceeds 2.2 meters, the height exceeds 1.2 meters, and the diagonal length reaches more than 2.5 meters. If a car happens to be coming towards you at this time, then the car really appears in front of you at a scale close to 1:1. It can be said that watching movies on a super-large screen perfectly interprets the shocking sense of presence that people could only experience in the cinema in the past in the living room.

Japanese Ricoh lens + Onkyo custom speakers, pursuing the ultimate audio-visual at all costs

In addition to its giant screen features, the display effect of PPTV Laser Cinema MAX1 is equally as good as that of traditional TVs.

With pure color solid-state laser light source and customized high-efficiency internal optical path design, PPTV Laser Cinema MAX1 has a brightness uniformity of more than 90% and a brightness of up to 4000 ANSI lumens. From now on, the ideal viewing effect is no longer limited to dim nights and dark nights.

The advantage of pure-color solid-state laser light source lies in its ultra-long life and stability. According to official data, the light source life of PPTV Laser Cinema MAX1 is more than 30,000 hours, which is more than 10 times that of ordinary household bulb projectors. Calculated based on 8 hours of viewing per day, it can eliminate the trouble of later replacement for more than 10 years.

In addition, in the selection of internal components, PPTV Laser Cinema MAX1 spared no expense in using Ricoh high-definition lenses imported from Japan, full HD 0.65DMD chips, DLP digital light processing technology, and added 4K hard decoding and support for immersive 3D display.

Leading hardware technology enables PPTV Laser Cinema MAX1 to have a 100,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, 1024 levels of grayscale, and 1.07 billion colors. While providing users with larger and higher-definition pictures, it also has super scene restoration capabilities and color richness, making viewing more shocking and realistic.

Of course, as a TV that provides audio-visual enjoyment for users, PPTV Laser Cinema MAX1 has achieved the ultimate in "visual" and "audio" to match the cinema-level giant screen. In this regard, PPTV Laser Cinema MAX1 has built-in speaker units customized for high-end products by Onkyo, a 70-year-old Japanese audio brand, and has undergone professional debugging for half a year. The excellent sound quality has also become a part of PPTV Laser Cinema MAX1 that HiFi enthusiasts can talk about with relish.

Audio equipment enthusiasts know that the characteristic of Japanese audio products is to try to accurately restore every sound. The output power of the Japanese Onkyo custom speaker unit built into the PPTV Laser Cinema MAX1 is 8W, and the speaker is located at the front of the machine facing the user. When combined with the echo wall external audio equipment in the PPTV laser TV package, the sound quality effect is more perfect, which can meet the needs of users with strict requirements on sound quality, and is more than enough for regular home use scenarios.

It is also worth noting that in terms of operating temperature and noise, which are aspects that laser TV products need to pay special attention to, the temperature of the outgoing air vent of PPTV Laser Cinema MAX1 during normal viewing can be stabilized in the range below 45°C, which is already quite excellent for a device that displays images in a projected manner.

At the same time, the operating noise of PPTV Laser Cinema MAX1 is maintained at around 50 decibels, which will not affect the normal sound output effect of the equipment.

The built-in 1T hard drive can store nearly 100 full HD movies.

After talking about the hardware, let's talk about the system and content. Like the mainstream TVs on the market, PPTV Laser Cinema MAX1 is equipped with intelligent and massive Internet content services, which adds points to the product's ease of use.

First of all, PPTV Laser Cinema MAX1 is equipped with a customized Rubic UI 4.5 smart TV operating system, which has a super live broadcast function, integrating radio and television live broadcast and online live broadcast on-demand content, minimizing the steps and costs for users to reach the content they need.

On the other hand, the Rubic UI 4.5 intelligent operating system also turns the PPTV Laser Cinema MAX1 into a large-screen device that supports intelligent voice control. With just one sentence, you can access any content you want to see, fundamentally solving the complex operation of typing and searching using the remote control buttons.

In terms of content, PPTV Laser Cinema MAX1 has connected the content matrix of PP Video, CIBN Micro Audiovisual and PP Sports, covering a large number of popular blockbusters, TV series, variety shows, and 90% of domestic and foreign sports events, with a total value of over 10 billion, making it the largest Internet TV sports content platform in China. At the same time, PPTV also has 66 famous commentators such as Huang Jianxiang, Zhan Jun, Shen Fangjian, Dong Lu, and Li Xin. It can be said that PPTV Laser TV was born on the shoulders of the industry's "content giants".

It is worth mentioning that PPTV Laser Cinema MAX1 can receive 3 years of PP Sports Premium Membership and 3 years of PP Video SVIP Film and Television Membership when it is turned on, so that its excellent hardware products and outstanding content services can be synchronized to users at the first time. In addition, PPTV Laser Cinema MAX1 has a built-in 1T ultra-large storage capacity hard disk, which can store nearly 100 full HD blockbusters, which is absolutely rare in the industry.

For users who are used to watching videos online through the Internet, they may not realize the importance of device storage space, but if you are a loyal fan of high-definition movies, each high-definition movie file is calculated as 10G or even several 10G, you must have hoarded several TB of hard disk. Calculated based on the size of each 1080P full HD movie compression file commonly found on the Internet, which is 10GB, a 1TB hard disk can store nearly 100 movies at one time. PPTV laser TV can be said to have noticed the potential demand for device storage space of professional users in advance.

In addition, PPTV Laser Cinema MAX1 is also equipped with a variety of expansion interfaces around the body, including USB3.0, two USB2.0, and two HDMI 2.0 interfaces that support 4K/60FPS image transmission. It can connect to external storage devices with USB interfaces, and Blu-ray players or high-definition game consoles with HDMI interfaces, providing a powerful display output carrier that can generate interactive connections.

The living room theater switches instantly, and laser TV also has its unique "cost performance"

Overall, PPTV Laser Cinema MAX1 is undoubtedly a masterpiece that caters to the current needs of high-end TV users for cinema-level ultra-large screen products. After completely breaking through the constraints of traditional TV screen size by using the form of laser TV, laser TV has also made comprehensive efforts in display effects and product usability, forming the most acceptable living room cinema solution for ordinary consumers.

As for the price issue that consumers are most sensitive to, the official price of PPTV Laser Cinema MAX1 is 29,999 yuan, which does not seem cheap at first glance. But compared with the 100-inch laser TV and the 100-inch traditional LCD TV that costs nearly 500,000 yuan, PPTV Laser TV can be said to be a very cost-effective product at present. PPTV Laser Cinema MAX1 has a great value price and a super shocking experience. It is so simple to shorten the distance between the living room and the cinema.
