The DaVinci 1 Pro (Model Number: DaVinci 1 Pro) Android 11.0 projector arrived with a lot of promise: 4K resolution, auto-focus, Google Assistant integration, and a sleek design. Over the past few weeks, I’ve put this projector through its paces, using it for movie nights, gaming sessions, and even some casual presentations. This review details my experience, both the highs and lows.

The DaVinci 1 Pro boasts a compelling feature set. Beyond the advertised 4K resolution and Android 11 operating system, the auto-focus and keystone correction are significant highlights. Setting up the projector is incredibly straightforward, and the Google Assistant integration adds a layer of convenience. The ability to download apps from the Google Play Store expands its functionality greatly. The compact size makes it surprisingly portable for its capabilities.

Image quality is a crucial aspect of any projector, and the DaVinci 1 Pro delivers a mixed bag. While the claimed 4K resolution is technically present, the brightness (600 lumens) does impact the viewing experience in brighter rooms. In darker environments, the picture is sharp and detailed, particularly when watching movies. The colors are vibrant and accurate, although purists might seek some minor calibration adjustments. The audio, while adequate for casual viewing, isn’t particularly powerful. Gaming performance was smooth, with minimal lag, but the input lag might be noticeable to highly competitive gamers. The auto-focus feature works reliably most of the time, however, I did encounter occasional instances where manual adjustment was required.

The Android 11 operating system is responsive and user-friendly. Navigating the interface and accessing apps is intuitive, even for someone unfamiliar with Android projectors. The 2GB of RAM and 8GB of internal storage are sufficient for most casual users but might feel restrictive for intensive app usage or large downloads.

Pros:

• Easy setup and user-friendly interface.
• Auto-focus and keystone correction simplify usage.
• Vibrant and detailed image quality in low-light conditions.
• Google Assistant and Android 11 integration.
• Compact and portable design.

Cons:

• Brightness could be improved for use in well-lit rooms.
• Audio output is average; external speakers might be beneficial.
• Limited internal storage could be an issue for extensive app usage.
• Occasional auto-focus inconsistencies.

Overall, the DaVinci 1 Pro is a capable projector that offers a satisfying home theatre experience for most users. Its ease of use, smart features, and generally good picture quality make it a strong contender in its price range. The limitations in brightness and audio could be drawbacks for some, but for those prioritizing convenience and a decent viewing experience in darker rooms, the DaVinci 1 Pro is definitely worth considering. I’d recommend it to those looking for a user-friendly and feature-rich projector for movies, casual gaming, and presentations.
