Foreword
Family projection, was once a "tyrant" who toys, and most of the most extensive areas have been focused on the commercial application, but with the continuous development of science and technology, LED light source is a large number of applications, continue to lower the cost of the projector, And with the cooperation of the Android system and the projector , the use of features greatly improved , and you can not use other equipment to watch video , Internet access, etc., now also become one of many family viewing options. In the current projection market competition is quite fierce, in addition to traditional brands, the more active or emerging Internet brands. As a veteran company in the projection market, BenQ announced the end of 2015 for its BenQ I300J smart projector.
First give a short review
First of all, we have to thank Psychonet for providing evaluation products. For projection, it seems that there is a kind of innate love, because in a small machine, the light is projected onto the wall, and even the image can be released, not to mention magic. Although he later became acquainted with a lot of projectors, his hobby was a variety of projections, such as playing with the screen, watching 3D , watching movies, playing games, and so on.
BenQ I300J smart projection as a traditional brand, obviously with a lot of old- fashioned "temper", first of all, there is no bright appearance, the function is not so fancy new brands, a variety of connection holes seem rich and real tasteless. However, the accumulation of projection technology for more than ten years is not what many emerging companies have, such as long-term viewing without virtual focus, sound effects can be remarkable, excellent cooling system and better noise control. In fact, each projection, each brand has its own advantages and disadvantages, how to choose a good projection is to look at their needs, if you just look at the movie, not like playing more tricks, may be BenQ I300J intelligence Projection is more suitable. It seems that I have presented the results to everyone first. Of course, the evaluation is not over yet. The following is still starting from the beginning!
Out of the box
BenQ I300J intelligent micro-investment (below referred I300J) packaging law-abiding, the outside is a simple envelope, you can clearly see the "BENQ" brand logo, side is self-adhesive stickers and barcodes and other product information. (In fact, the highlight of this time is the alliance between Ginger Fruit and today's headlines. As a top player and today's headline writer, the highlights are gracious)
The quality of the box was good and no breakage occurred during the delivery process. Open the box, first see the trial instructions, and the projectors and accessories that are in their place. In addition to the remote control running around, everything else is well fixed in the box. In fact, it is suggested here that a foamed cotton bag should also be put on the remote control to avoid scratching or pressure loss during transportation.
The packaging of the I300J can't be said to be rich. It's not so simple. In addition to the projector, remote control, and power cord, there is a USB charging cable that charges the remote control, and then there is no more. Not to say that the projector has 3D capabilities? That's at least a pair of 3D glasses. Of course, manuals, warranty cards, etc. are still relatively abundant, and the basic operating instructions are detailed enough, but to tell the truth, projection products operate much the same, almost no instructions can understand how to operate.
Huge power adapter, because the camera itself does not have power, so each viewing has to drag a long tail, slightly tasteless. But looking at the same type of home-based smart micro-projection, the power supply is also rare.
USB charging cable is mainly used to charge the remote controller.
Although the appearance of the remote control seems to be traditional, there is no bright spot on the design, but the function is still quite strong, the various functions of the projector complex can basically operate through the remote control, and the keys are not as much as imagined. Another highlight is USB charging, which is a boon for users who have been using batteries for TV remote control. The lack of remote control or long-term use of battery leakage is a “nightmare†for users.
Exterior
The design of the I300J does appear to be a moderate compared to current Internet brand projectors. The slightly tilted tail is where the sound is, and the arc design on both sides is actually a simple change from the more traditional rectangle, but it still looks ordinary. In addition, the overall sense of quantity in the hand is stronger. If the metallic color is more intense, the goodwill level of the product may increase more. Figure 11
Side can clearly see the power jack, focusing pulsator, and the bottom of the cooling hole.
On the other side is a lid that can be opened. The inside of the lid hides various interfaces. The lid is well designed, easy to open, easy to close, and tightly closed. But so many interfaces, basically to be idle, may be used in addition to the USB interface, audio output occasionally use, basically will not be used, after all, the connection is a troublesome thing, and plug in so many lines, not only unsightly It is not always possible to connect with the location of the projection. For example, my home network cable interface is designed on the TV wall, and the projection happens to be on the opposite side, but with WIFI , why do I need to use the LAN interface?
If you look at the sound and say that I300J has no beauty, it may be a lie. LEO is thinking, whether the designer thinks that the sound is the user's point of view. And this position of the sound, so that the vocalization is more clear, and in itself the sound of this projection band, the sound quality performance is still relatively good.
The bottom is designed with two non-slip mats and a rotating screw. The secret is here, suitable for desktop users, and the height of the projection can be adjusted with this screw. In fact, I tried, may be too high for my home screen, if it is fully projected, the trapezoid will be larger. Although there is trapezoidal correction, the actual effect is not very satisfactory. The most appropriate projection method is still recommended to use a tripod or front or top lifting.
Forgot to mention, the front dust cover design is still very good, the lens played a very good protection. Of course, if you can combine the switch key and lens cover switch, it may be more convenient. (Of course, suggestions only)
System Experience
The I300J main interface uses the excellent friends desktop, although not common, but the overall module layout and system operation, is still relatively simple, and similar to the popular UI experience. And the video content is still relatively rich, the installation of third-party applications is not as restrictive as the TV box, and its own application market is Chipco market, that content can be described as everything.
However, after the third-party application is installed, it will not appear when page turning to the right, but it will be focused on the application and it will be necessary to open the application to see all applications. Whether this design is to avoid certain policy actions, this is for users. The experience still has a certain impact.
If you feel that your own effects are not very satisfactory, you can also connect Bluetooth sound with better sound quality. Or connect the Bluetooth gamepad during the game. Therefore, it seems that the front audio hole design is a tasteless.
The actual effect of projection
First of all, because it is a mobile phone shooting, the actual definition may be better than the photo. The brightness of the I300J is 400 lumens, but in the case of turning on the lights at night, the projection effect is relatively poor, the overall whitening, the clarity is also much worse. If you turn off the lights at night, the clarity is good, if you add a good sound, and then put a large movie, it really has the feeling of a small box in the cinema. If you pull the curtains during the day, the effect is not bad. Of course, many people say that projection will replace TV, but from the I300J point of view, this statement is somewhat over. In fact, according to the current projection technology, it is still too early to replace TV. However, if you are trying to replace your TV with a new family entertainment device, it is still very good.
Actual experience
In pursuit of drama, the most popular TV drama is “Ode to Joy,†perhaps. “Struggle†embodies ten years ago the people’s outlook on life, values, and the hopes and awkwardness that came from it. Today, they are struggling in the north. This generation has more or less seen his own shadow from Fan Shengmei, Guan Yuer, and Qiu Yingying. People have accumulated from past experiences and experiences. Each person uses his own way of looking at these experiences and experiences, so that the current life is affected , but in real life, why don't we?
After a busy day and a quiet night, I may want to relax myself. I don't want to watch dramas, be too long, and don’t want to watch horror films and fear nightmares. That may wish to look at a star reality show. Although it is known that it is also acting and all kinds of contrived works, it's just as good as it is. What we want is to laugh, and what we want is for the stars to be “stupidâ€, “trick†and “intimateâ€. Let yourself think that you can explore the real character of the stars, and then full of a sense of accomplishment.
Of course, playing a racing game against the front wall is also a good choice. And the system comes with Feizhi game hall, and just has a game controller with Taiwan flying wisdom, perfect match. When you are bored or when you are really lazy, come and play a "big screen" game that lets you completely indulge yourself in the game world.
Regret in the experience
As mentioned earlier, the player has 3D playback, but it is not equipped with at least a pair of 3D glasses. But unfortunately it is not only this, use the 3D broadcast app , click on the 3D function, everything is normal at this time, but then enter the next choice, it will direct the screen, but the sound of the movie is still playing, at this time if Press the Home button to return and the screen will open again. I don't know if there is a problem with this software, or if the 3D function itself has a BUG .
I300J does not play for a long time and it is really much better than many projections of the same grade. The basic viewing of 80 to 100 inches is the best viewing effect, but if you continue to increase, you will find that the pixels can be seen in the middle, but the surrounding display is Obviously relatively vague.
Â
Post-experience summary: The advantages and disadvantages have been more apparent in the above experience, and may be relative to the professional evaluation. This assessment may not appear to be particularly professional and complete. I would like to express my apologies first. But for ordinary users to choose the projection may be enough, in fact, as mentioned in the previous article, we choose what is the purpose of a projection, which is crucial. After all, product performance and price are also closely related, but at night to see the movie, there is no need to purchase a million-dollar home theater (except Tyrant). BenQ I300J smart micro-projection should be sufficient for the average home user, and it is suitable for fixed and positive projection and hoisting positive projection.
