The strongest micro-projection of the year: LIGHTANK 3LCD smart projection D1 experience

The D1's physical specifications are still very attractive. It is a lot more compact than conventional projectors. It is only a slightly larger body than conventional micro-projectors. It integrates the Mstar 6A928 (Cortex-A17 architecture) that will be used on high-end smart TVs. 4-core 1.75GHz) processor, Mail-T760 MP4 GPU, 3G RAM, 16G body storage, and Android 5.1 system. Combined with a physical binning rate of up to 1920 x 1200 and a brightness of 10,000 ANSI, everyday applications are more than enough to spike most intelligent micro-projections on the market. However, it should be noted that the D1 itself does not provide a built-in speaker, but can achieve audio output through HDMI's ARC channel or lossless Bluetooth.

● Packed like a fortress

LIGHTANK D1's package size is not small, even close to the traditional projection packaging.

The machine was shipped from the factory in a double-packed package. Although the difficulty of unpacking was increased, individuals liked it very much.

The main features of D1 are reflected in the packaging, including higher physical resolution than 1080P, 3LCD technology types, and support for 3D and 4K.

The design of a very abundant, thick, cushioned protective layer like a fortress, no wonder its box size will be close to the traditional projection. Here you can like it.

● Small fresh appearance

D1 is not the first product of "LIGHTANK". The products released by LIGHTANK before this time are more or less biased toward applications such as business and other serious occasions. Therefore, when you first see D1's real machine, it may be somewhat unexpected. Surprise.

D1's overall style is more inclined to take the fashion road home machine. The mesh grille on both sides of the fuselage not only plays a decorative role, but also benefits the airflow inside the fuselage.

The back of the fuselage is designed with a dense grille. For the D1 brightness level machine should be more than enough. In addition to the D1 terminal equipped with two ARC audio return path HDMI, also provides fiber, headset, LAN, and a USB2.0, a USB3.0 terminal, plus Bluetooth 4.0 and WIFI, connection performance Reached the level of large-scale traditional projection.

D1's whole body revealed that this thick range of artistic literature, especially the support of four solid wood, greatly enhanced the "forcing."

Black and white with the Bluetooth remote control also showed a strong artistic style.

The fuselage is not designed with physical buttons, and full-touch buttons also allow the body to look even further.

A manual focus ring is designed at the bottom. The D1 supports 1.2x optical zoom, allowing you to flexibly adjust the size of the picture without adjusting the projection distance.

Solid wood foot close-up, this is the key to let the machine's texture and temperament instantly improve.

Another surprising design of the D1 is the built-in position of a 2.5-inch hard drive. There is no need for a screwdriver during the installation. Simply push the top panel away. It can be seen that designers have a very strong sense of space use. And this feature is also very practical, especially for those who do not like their own download.

● boot experience

Thanks to the use of Mstar's 6A928 processor, the operation speed of the D1 is very smooth, and thanks to its high brightness performance and 1920 x 1200 resolution, it can be seen in general home environments without too strict shading or with all the lights off. It is clear and there is almost no big picture of the lattice.

D1 provides rich color and brightness customization

D1 also supports trapezoidal correction, such as the screen placed on the head of the bed can also project the center.

The content is still basically the same as other models of the Extreme Rice. The online video platform is provided by Mango TV. The quality of the content is the mainstream level.

● Quality measurement

(The following shots are shot directly on the white latex paint wall. If you use the projection screen, the color and brightness effects will change according to the characteristics of the curtain.)

The color transition is smooth and there is no significant color scale.

Although the clarity cannot reach the level of 4K products, it is completely OK with the 1080P standard.

D1's dynamic resolution performance is particularly excellent, continuous dynamic picture stability, fluency are good, smooth than many LCD TVs.

The 3LCD model is also generally superior in terms of contrast. In this scene where the dynamic range is extremely large, D1 can also take into account the details of the dark layer and brightness.

D1 is also a good example of the advantages of 3LCD technology in terms of color. Not only has a good color saturation, but also the color accuracy, as well as the comfort of the eyes are very good, the picture is natural and comfortable, unlike the LCD TV for a long time, prone to eye soreness and other symptoms.

D1 can better take into account the details and color performance

In the scene of great contrast, the performance is also very stable. The brightness distribution around the picture and in the central part is also relatively uniform.

When playing online video, the entire screen is full of details and levels.

Dark parts show a good sense of depth

Although the D1 is a 1080P-level projection, but because of the use of high-end 4K TV-level processor, the whole decoding ability is very strong, testing a variety of formats 4K video can be played smoothly.

The unique image quality of the projection makes the image look less exaggerated than the LCD TV and feels more realistic.

to sum up:

The appearance of the "LIGHTANK" D1 is a pleasant surprise on the whole: it breaks the previous perception that the brand only focused on serious application scenarios such as business, not only in business situations, but also as a cross-border The home machine also has no "pear." In particular, after adopting 1920×1200 physical resolution and 3LCD technology, the display performance of the whole machine greatly exceeds the traditional micro-projection products, and has reached the scope of the traditional full-size projector, while being in the size and convenience. Top, connectivity and other aspects continue to retain the characteristics of micro-projection products. Generally speaking, those who have high requirements for display quality (simplely speaking, disregarding the quality of micro-projections), who have no conditions, or who are too cumbersome to install traditional projections, are recommendable choices.
