(The specs for the projector cite 6,000 lumens for the light source, but what’s important is the brightness of the image on the wall or screen itself.)Īs ever with a projector of this brightness, it can struggle to show shadow detail when playing in light environments – especially in summer, and in rooms with a lot of outside light leakage. While some truly high-end models, like the Epson LS100, offer up to 4,000 nits, the Vava projector is certainly capable of bright and vivid images. The Vava 4K projector boasts a peak brightness of 2,500 lumens, which is what we’d expect for this price point (the ‘peak’ being the brightest that individual sections of the projection can go).

You can organize via name, date added, star rating, or number of downloads, but a little more curation would have been helpful here. The main issue here is that more commonly used apps aren’t listed first, making it difficult to comb through the hundreds of options to find what you’re after. There is a huge amount of app support, including (but not limited to) Disney Plus, Now TV, YouTube TV, JustWatch, Syfy, Amazon Prime Video, AMC, Showtime, BBC News, ESPN, iflix, Deezer, DC Universe, HBO Go, HBO Now, and HBO Max. It’s mostly simple to use, though, with a home menu that lists HDMI inputs (very handy) as well as the App Store, File Manager, and Multi-Screen (for casting).

You’ll find a relatively basic Android 7.1 operating system, despite there being an Android 10 OS for smart TVs these days. It requires two AAA batteries (included, as is a cleaning cloth for the projector lens). The Vava logo is inscribed at the bottom end of the remote, and identical upside down, which is a pleasing touch. The remote is also sleek, with an identical two-tone color scheme and a minimal button layout, including volume, home, back, menu, power, mute, and navigation buttons. There’s an Ethernet port, too, for connecting to the internet, S/PDIF, and a single USB port.

There are also audio input and output ports, for connecting to a wider audio setup or using the Vava projector as a speaker from another device source. The ports at the rear include three HDMI 2.0 ports, with one support eARC for connecting an external soundbar (if you wish to).

It should go without saying that, if you don’t have an 80-inch patch of wall to spare in your home, this projector isn’t right for you.Ī motion detection system also ensures that, if you peer over the top of the projector (as we did during testing), the picture will cut out and be replaced by a warning sign, asking you not to look directly into the lens (you know, like you’re not meant to stare right at the sun?). Vava tells us a distance of 7.2 inches results in a 100-inch image, with a total range of 80-150 inches, depending how close you place the projector to the wall. As with most projectors, ports are hidden at the back, facing the wall, which is great for a clean appearance, though any jutting cables or streaming sticks can prevent the projector getting more than around 5 inches from the wall, though you shouldn’t need to get any closer. Most of the blemishes on the casing – say, for the vents at the projector’s sides – are out of view and kept away from the front of the model. (Dimensions are 533 x 368 x 107mm, if you need to measure it up with your counter, too.) With soft edges, an inoffensive white/gray (or black/gray) coloring, and a soft fabric mesh covering the front and sides, it’s one projector that should fit in easily with the decor. The Vava 4K projector certainly has a winning appearance. (Image credit: TechRadar) Design and features
