Dangbei is once again shaking up the small world of amateur film buffs with a particularly polished high-end 4K laser video projector. Especially since the new Dangbei DBOX02 is the first of its generation to be positioned as a 4K device running Google TV and benefiting from official Netflix certification.
Whether to enjoy a visual experience worthy of a cinema, to follow upcoming sporting competitions with others or to take advantage of the summer to watch films and series outdoors, a video projector remains the best way.
Especially when it has such good value for money as the Dangbei DBOX02 (formerly called Mars Pro 2). It is capable of broadcasting a 200-inch 4K image, while being easy to use thanks to the presence of Google TV. Better yet, it benefits from Netflix certification. We explain to you what that changes.
The best of films and series…
With the abandonment of Android TV, the Dangbei DBOX02 becomes the first 4K laser video projector on the market to benefit from the presence of Google TV. A specificity that opens the way to a plethora of streaming content. In addition to being able to officially enjoy the Netflix application natively, the presence of Google TV instead of Android TV also allows you to enjoy all other platforms in the blink of an eye.
In fact, this means that the device integrates the “purest” version of the Netflix application. The user therefore benefits from all the functions of the service, without experiencing the crashes of the Android TV version. It is also guaranteed to have access to streaming content in the best possible quality.
This certification does not limit the Dangbei DBOX02 to a single streaming platform. The presence of Google TV gives access to the Google Play Store and its vast application catalog. It is therefore possible to retrieve applications like Disney+, Amazon Prime or even myCANAL, france.tv or YouTube to access your favorite content.
…Even outdoors
The effectiveness of the Dangbei DBOX02 is not based solely on the presence of Google TV, as easy to use as it is, but also on its technical sheet. It easily projects an image ranging from 40 to 200 inches diagonally, in an Ultra HD definition of 3840 × 2160 pixels. The presence of InstantPro, AI-backed technology, includes auto-focus, real-time keystone correction, intelligent eye protection mode and other automatic functions. All of these image correction systems ensure a result that is always pleasant for the retina.
The manufacturer has delivered its brightest video projector to date, with a 2,450 lumen laser source (ISO standard). Both on an interior wall and on an exterior wall, the displayed image is precise, without “speckles” (small spots that give a grainy effect) or color fringing, even in direct sunlight. Without forgetting the HDR10+ compatibility which completes the sublime rendering of the Dangbei DBOX02.
Although brighter, the Dangbei DBOX02 remains durable. The manufacturer thus promises a lifespan of 30,000 hours for the device, or 20 years based on 4 hours of daily use. Longevity also guaranteed by the choice of laser technology, which avoids having to change the lamp regularly as with a traditional video projector. The manufacturer has also managed to reduce the electricity consumption of the Dangbei DBOX02, so that long cinema sessions do not cause bills to skyrocket.
Characteristics which, if they are perfect for cinema buffs, will also meet the expectations of athletes. With the start of the football season, the 4K DBOX02 laser video projector will allow all supporters to enjoy a clear, precise, excellent quality image and above all to view the most beautiful actions in unparalleled definition thanks in particular to the MEMC technology which improves the sharpness and fluidity of movements.
Homebodys will appreciate its small dimensions of 22.86 × 17.78 × 15.24 cm and its weight of 3.6 kg which make it particularly discreet. Especially since it only emits 24 decibels maximum once turned on. On the other hand, its duo of 12 Watt speakers, compatible with Dolby Audio and DTS:X, guarantees a clear sound environment even outdoors.
There remains the price. Very complete, the Dangbei DBOX02 manages to keep the bill below 2,000 euros. At Amazon, this 4K video projector is priced at 1,549 euros instead of 1,829 euros, thanks to a new coupon and promo code Marspro2.
The Dangbei DBOX02 is not the only device from the manufacturer to be at the heart of a good plan. The ultra-flat mini-video projector under Google TV Dangbei Atom is sold in a pack with its support for 839 euros on Amazon.
Even the Dangbei N2 miniature video projector, ideal for die-hard nomads and Netflix evenings, fits into a pack with a dedicated stand. This displays a price of 359 euros on Cdiscount.
