The CHiQ V8S 4K laser UST projector is the next generation of Chiq projectors following on from the award winning B5U.
The new V8S home cinema offers high brightness, enhanced contrast with 8 point keystone correction and a very understated official 2500 ansi lumens.
In fact this competes well against other 5000 ANSI lumen models and has an equivalent marketing lumens rating of 15,000.
Stand out Features B5U v V8S
- Brightness: 1900 ansi (B5U) vs 2500 ansi (V8S)
- Keystone Adjustment: None (B5U) vs 8 points keystone (V8S)
- Colour wheel: 4-segment RGBy colour wheels (B5U) vs 8-segment RGBYRGBY (V8S). 8-segment colour wheel offers better colour reproduction.
- DMD chipset: PICO S316 0.47”4K (B5U) vs ECD S410 0.47” 4K (V8S). ECD DMD delivers higher brightness.
Image Quality & Ultra Short Throw
The contrast and overall image quality really stand out against the competition due to its impressive real life 4K Ultra HD (native 16:9) image.
Whilst the lumens are quoted at 2500 ansi lumens, when compared with equivalent premium brand competitor products it compares well to 3500 to 5000 lumens and it’s massively understated in terms of its official brightness rating.
In terms of contrast ratio it compares well to products showing 3 million: 1 contrast despite a mere 15,000:1 advertised rating.
The pure laser light source and wide colour gamut of 130% guarantees true and natural colours.
Use the V8Ss Ultra Short Throw feature to project a MASSIVE screen size of up to 80” to 150” (or bigger than any 4K TV) from just inches away from the wall, making it much simpler and easier to install. It’s easy to enclose in a glass topped cabinet (with ventilation / fan) and project up through the glass so it can be totally hidden from view.
Magnificent Colours & Contrast
The 8-segment colour wheel offers vivid colour reproduction.
Eye Protection
The V8S also features an eye protection function to avoid accidental damage to your eyes. With its built-in sensor the projector will shut down the light source temporarily (5 seconds) if it detects anybody moving in front or too close to the lens.
Perfect for Gaming and Sports (MEMC Processing)
With Motion Estimation and Motion Compensation (MEMC) technology the V8S can eliminate motion blurring or image judder. It also has an input lag of around 73ms making it great for gaming and TV/Sports.
Sound Quality
Whilst most home cinema aficionados will connect external speakers to their projector, the CHiQ V8S does actually have a decent internal sound system with its two 10 watt in-built speakers.
Bluetooth connectivity for audio is also available.
Low noise is key for any projector and this one comes in at a relatively quite 35db helped by the laser light source which generally uses less power than rival lamp projectors.
The V8S supports DTS and other audio connections- here is the list of supported audio decoding
MPEG1/2 Layer1/2, MP3, Dolby (AC-3), DTS, AAC, HE-AAC
Connectivity
The CHiQ V8S projector offers a full range of connection ports including ethernet, coaxial output, audio output, VGA audio Input, VGA input, 2 x USB 2.0, 2 x HDMI 2.0, built-in WiFi (5GHz/2.4GHz Dual Band) and built-in Bluetooth 5.0.
2 year Warranty & Lamp Life: Hassle Free
As a lamp-free laser projector, the V8S has a maintenance-free 25,000 hour lifespan.
All CHiQ projectors include a 2 year UK warranty as standard and a 5 year right to repair. The latter ensures spare parts are guaranteed to be kept for 5 years so it can always be repaired within that time.
In addition, this is serviced in the UK ensuring hassle free returns without the need to return goods to China, pay huge return postage costs or argue with Chinese sellers over warranties.
