With the dramatic changes in user entertainment scenes and the expansion of small household size in the home market, the demand for intelligent projectors has become more and more vigorous, and the limelight has already surpassed the LCD TV in the past. In addition, in recent years, with the continuous iteration of technology and intelligence of projector products, lightweight and intelligent adaptation has already become the core selling point of new projector products.
The Lenovo Xiaoxin 520 intelligent projector recently released by Lenovo made a high-energy debut at the new conference of consumer ecology, and the selling points were quickly released one by one along with the "licensing" rhythm of the conference. Once the product appeared, it quickly attracted my attention. Next, let's take a look at the actual experience of this new intelligent projection after real evaluation?
"Dark chocolate" appearance design
In the appearance design part, the Lenovo Xiaoxin 520 intelligent projector has two color matching designs: Midnight Black Qiao (black) and passionate white Qiao (white). This time, we got the black version. It is very consistent with the naming method. The main body of the host is like a piece of dark chocolate. It is minimalist and very thin. The appearance value of "idol school" is really a little high!
Even in the relatively small bedroom space, the projector can also have a flexible use experience far beyond the traditional smart TV by virtue of its thin and compact volume. This big advantage is reflected incisively and vividly in the design aesthetics of Lenovo Xiaoxin 520.
The Lenovo Xiaoxin 520 is only 4.8 cm thick, weighs only 1kg, and has an ultra small volume of 195*195*48 (mm), which is basically the size of 2-3 game consoles. It can be easily packed into various backpacks.
**Hardware configuration
In the hardware configuration list, all daily needs are available: in addition to the projector host, remote control and two No. 7 batteries, a new portable adapter with typec interface is also included in the package, which is very portable and compact.
The streamlined remote controller also has an exclusive patent design. There is a special corresponding button on it. When you change the position / posture of the projector, press the circular Logo Button on the left side of the top row of buttons to quickly perform an automatic focusing to adjust the most appropriate picture display effect.
At the same time, it also has a built-in "hidden function" for retrieving the remote control. By touching the small hole next to the 3.5mm earphone hole of the host through objects such as a card pin, the remote control paired with the host can continue to make a drip sound, helping you quickly find the remote control under the sofa. Such a humanized design also has a deep insight into the pain points of consumers in the use experience. Lenovo's operation is quite warm.
In addition, in the host interface configuration part, the Lenovo Xiaoxin 520 is configured with a USB 3.0, an HDMI 2.1 and a 3.5mm headphone interface. Of course, the most noteworthy is the HDMI 2.1 interface that only appeared on the 10000 yuan flagship smart TV in the past.
If you have already purchased xbox Game players of series X or ps5 next generation game consoles can choose HDMI 2.1 devices to ensure that the interface will not become one of the restrictions on the display effect of game screens in the next few years.
Software optimization
In addition to the hardware, in the actual use experience, the key factor that can determine whether the projector is easy to use or not still lies in the optimization of software functions, which also comes to another highlight of the Lenovo Xiaoxin 520.
As one embodiment of intelligent software, if Lenovo Xiaoxin 520 is projected on a curved surface or small obstacles (such as wall paintings, sockets, etc.), the automatic obstacle avoidance function can actively calculate the screen display effect after avoiding obstacles through the system's built-in image algorithm. This process is also very "lazy friendly". Except for advanced effect adjustment, there is no operation requiring manual intervention.
Android mobile phones can use the music broadcast projection app to project mobile phone images into the projector system. Huawei / Apple Devices can also directly find Lenovo Xiaoxin 520 projector in the "screen image" setting of the system, and can complete the projection of screen or video without installing any other tools.
In the field of smart TV content services, Lenovo Xiaoxin 520 is equipped with an intelligent version system customized by Lenovo Zui for large screen projection devices, which integrates a large number of film and television resources from multiple video platforms, including youaiteng, mango TV, BiliBili, etc. daily movies, TV dramas, animation can be found, and an open system customized based on Android, Users can also manually install their commonly used apps in Lenovo Xiaoxin 520 to further enrich the playing methods of the projector.
In addition to the common aggregation of film and television resource platforms, Zui intelligent investment edition also has a built-in children's content area, so that parents can not only use the projector to meet their entertainment needs, but also take into account their children's entertainment and distance learning needs.
Image quality viewing experience
After finishing the hardware part of the Lenovo Xiaoxin 520, in terms of viewing experience, the light source projection effect of the Lenovo Xiaoxin 520 projector is 850ansi lumens. Even if the curtain is opened in the daytime, the picture is still bright, and the brightness and color temperature of the picture can be automatically adjusted according to the changes of ambient light. In the color gamut, the official data provided by Lenovo is 120%srgb. With the support of hdr10+, hdr10 and HLG high dynamic contrast image decoding capabilities, the Xiaoxin 520 has full colors, excellent color restoration, distinct layers and strong immersion.
In addition, the Lenovo Xiaoxin 520 projector supports 1080p Full HD image quality projection and 8K decoding. The addition of MEMC motion compensation algorithm, which is only available in high-end flagship computers, also enables the HDMI 2.1 interface device mentioned above to output the image display effect more "fully", and there will be no problems such as image jamming and dragging caused by software, This is already a very surprising performance on a portable projector with a price of less than 3000 yuan.
Considering that even in the bedroom environment, the indoor light will still change greatly day and night, so the built-in ambient light adaptive function of Lenovo Xiaoxin 520 system is quite practical: the projector supports automatic recognition and real-time adjustment of picture brightness and color temperature through the ambient light sensor, and automatically switches between sharp and soft picture display effects in different light environments.
In the part of sound effect experience, the Lenovo Xiaoxin 520 has built-in a group of 2*5w speakers with Dolby sound effect algorithm. At the same time, it has conducted in-depth cooperation with the professional Nordic sound brand VIFA, which has been established for 89 years. The sound effect is also professionally adjusted by the Danish chief engineer. When you watch a movie at home, the powerful audition experience makes you feel like you are on the spot. I tried to watch the Hollywood movie crazy max with it. In the process of rapid transformation and connection of pictures, it can still clearly restore the beauty of each picture, and there is no Caton in action blockbusters. The penetrating power of the treble, the cleanness of the midrange, and the depth and clarity of the bass make me feel like I have a small cinema. The dream of immersive movie watching is not far away!
The built-in sleep smart speaker function of the system can also directly link the projector through the Bluetooth of the mobile phone to act as a stereo speaker for the whole room; With the built-in screen saver display function of Lenovo Xiaoxin 520 system, it can be used as a decoration that makes the room no longer monotonous even if you don't watch movies everyday.
From the actual picture display, it can be seen that the Lenovo Xiaoxin 520 has self-evident advantages in the price segment of 2000+. In the light dark transition, it has a more natural picture performance, and the dark details can be preserved. When watching movies with stronger contrast, it is difficult for a brand to achieve such a real and flagship audio-visual experience.
Summary
As the first projection product of the Lenovo Xiaoxin brand, the Lenovo Xiaoxin 520 focuses on the product positioning of "young and excellent products, exquisite life", and is also a 2000+ gear acceptable to the public in terms of price. In addition, the performance of super expected picture and sound effects and the intelligent and humanized function design make the comprehensive experience really superior!
Therefore, whether you are a home office worker who often stays at home or a student party who wants to use a projector to meet more daily needs, I believe that when choosing a projector, the Lenovo Xiaoxin 520 can meet your projection needs with its advantages of high performance, high cost performance and professional hard core.
