0:00Hello from the other side. CJ here and
0:03WBO is back with a new smart projector
0:06called
0:07I the Valley 1 Pro. It’s an update to
0:11the OG Valley 1 that we’ve reviewed last
0:14year. And as it stands, the price
0:17remains about the same as before. So,
0:19what’s new about this Pro version? We’re
0:22about to find out. Roll that intro.
0:28Starting with design, the Value 1 Pro
0:30practically looks the same as its
0:32standard version. Our unit comes in a
0:34warm white colorway, which has a more
0:36refined look in my opinion. They removed
0:38the black borders and raised the front
0:40interface instead, flashed with a gray
0:42color accent. It comes with a built-in
0:44stand and supports 200° tilt, so it’s
0:47possible to project the screen to the
0:49ceiling. Sure, this projector is
0:51portable, but it has a bit of heft
0:53weighing at around 2.8 8 kg if the intro
0:57wasn’t obvious. That said, it’s not
1:00going to be as compact as with other WBO
1:03projectors, measuring about 10 in wide.
1:06There’s the included remote in the box.
1:09Nothing fancy here, but it does pair
1:11with the projector quickly. Setting it
1:12up is pretty fast and easy, too. You
1:15just turn it on, project it to a wall,
1:17and it will automatically adjust to the
1:19keystone, focus, and screen alignment.
1:21The option for obstacle avoidance is
1:23enabled by default, so it will try to
1:25find a perfect spot for you, but if
1:27you’re old school, then you can manually
1:29adjust all the settings and whatnot.
1:31Software- wise, the Val 1 Pro ships with
1:33a newer Android TV4 and has that
1:35familiar Google TV OS experience. It
1:38comes with pre-installed apps like
1:39Netflix, YouTube, and Disney Plus, among
1:41others. The TV comes with a quadcore A55
1:44chip, and navigating around is decently
1:46fast. The same goes for connecting the
1:48projector to Wi-Fi internet. It supports
1:50dualband Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5. The
1:52remote it came with also supports Google
1:54Assistant, which is useful rather than
1:56typing on the virtual keyboard manually.
1:58For inputs and outputs, there’s the
2:00power button, a 3.5 mil audio jack,
2:03HDMI, a sound outlet, and one USBA port
2:06on the rear. There’s the power socket on
2:08the stand itself over here to the left.
2:10And above it, you’ll find another sound
2:12outlet and an air inlet. On the right,
2:14there’s just the air outlet. Meanwhile,
2:16on the front, there’s the projector lens
2:18itself. and a camera for that sweet
2:20automatic projector setup. Notably,
2:23there’s now a single 12 watt speaker
2:25instead of the dual 6 watt setup from
2:27the Valley 1. We’ll talk about the sound
2:29quality in a bit. Of course, there’s
2:31Google Cast support here for easy screen
2:33mirroring from your Android phone.
2:35However, there’s still no AirPlay
2:37support for Apple devices as you would
2:39expect with an Android powered device.
2:41Now, let’s finally talk about the most
2:43crucial part, display. The projector has
2:46a recommended 130in display size, but it
2:49can technically go up to as large as 260
2:51in. It features full HD resolution up to
2:54650 ISO lumens and supports HDR10 and
2:58MEMC. With that, the colors are decently
3:01good and the brightness is respectable.
3:03I’d suggest using the projector in a
3:04pitch black room to get the best viewing
3:06experience. It has wide vine L1 support
3:09as well, so I’m pretty sure that Netflix
3:11playback is always in HD. Plus, with a
3:13200° adjustable angle, we can even watch
3:16on the ceiling while laying on the bed.
3:18Talking about the audio quality, it
3:20sounds surprisingly nice. The 12 W
3:22fullrange speaker can easily fill a room
3:24with loud and clear audio. There’s a
3:26good amount of bass and it doesn’t sound
3:28as thin as I expected to be, probably
3:30thanks to Dolby audio support. In other
3:32words, dialogues in movies are clear and
3:34have a distinct separation from the
3:35background music, sound effects, and the
3:37like. However, with it just being a
3:40single speaker, it won’t sound as
3:42immersive, but the loud sound does make
3:44up for it. Despite the fact, I’m glad to
3:46report that fan noise is minimal in our
3:48experience. So, there’s that. All things
3:50considered, the new WBO Vali 1 Pro has
3:53been really good at doing its job.
3:55You’re getting a native full HD clarity,
3:57surprisingly good audio, a user-friendly
3:59Google TV OS, and a practically
4:01well-built, well-designed smart
4:03projector. It’s not perfect, that’s a
4:05given, but it’s a pretty solid option
4:07for setting up a mini home theater. Just
4:10pair it with a surround sound and you’re
4:11good to go.
4:13And before we wrap up, let’s talk about
4:15the price. The WBO Value 1 Pro retails
4:18around 16,000 pesos in the Philippines.
4:20[music] Checking out WBO’s official
4:22store via Shopee. It’s currently
4:24discounted for 14,799 pesos through
4:26various vouchers. So, what do you think
