Thanks to you I just bought a JMGO N1 to move around the house and finally get rid of my TV but I'm still wondering if the new Xming Page One might be a better purchase for the money, might be a good contender for 2024.

    • @TheHookUp
      @TheHookUp  Před 5 měsíci +2

      The Page One is an LCD projector, probably not meant to compete with tri-laser DLPs like the N1.

      @xtearing Před 5 měsíci +1

      @@TheHookUp awesome, thanks! I was not meaning to compare them, just to know which is giving you more value for your money. I do think the Page One is a banger at that price point, specially soundwise, and could tick almost every spec for the average user.

      How is this projector cause it's going for 700$ ... My concern is that it won't cut out while streaming something on a different streaming site that isn't paid for. Something like old cartoons. Nebula will turn off it if it copyrighted apparently.

    Thanks for the video. Looking for a projector with the quietest (silent ideally) fan noise for a recording studio. Based on your video I grabbed the Mogo pro 2 which is very quiet, but seeing if I can get one even quieter. I'm assuming most of your fan noise read outs are at normal brightness, but I saw another video where you said that if you lower the lumen output that you can get these projector fans even quieter (like on the Halo +). I'm not sure if there is a way to do that on the Mogo Pro. Do you have a recommendation on which projector has the quietest fan noise at a lower brightness setting?

    Hi @thehookup, recent subscriber here and so far loving all your automation and security camera videos. Just one question though, if I was to purchase the reolink nvr and camera package (RLK-810B4A), would those cameras still work with blue iris if I was to upgrade later. Thank you in advance for you reply!

    • @TheHookUp
      @TheHookUp  Před 5 měsíci

      I'm not sure. Normally you can tell because it says which cameras come with the kit, so if it said B800 then those cameras do not work without the NVR, but if it says RLC-810A those would work. However, that kit specifically says it uses RLC-810A's but then says "The cameras of the kit cannot work without the NVR. (Bundle excluded)". So I wonder if they are doing something with the firmware that prevents them from working without the NVR.

  • @Aman9692
    @Aman9692 Před 4 měsíci

    Is there any projector that is basically like an xgimi horizon pro, but with inbuilt battery? I can't seem to find one that has ample lumens to be used during daylight, and is also portable and can be powered by an inbuilt battery. My usecase is specially in classrooms.. I need a projector that i can carry to different classroom, has enough lumens that's PDFs/video are clearly visible even in daylight, and obviously i don't have to worry about sockets. I don't mind shelling out a bit for the same.

  • @Rampampulin
    @Rampampulin Před 5 měsíci +11

    Damn. I ordered the Mogo 2 Pro on Black Friday before there was a review from you. Other youtubers claimed the picture quality but they were all sponsored by Xgimi. Unfortunately most tech youtubers cannot be trusted anymore. You sir are a legend!
    While I still like the XGIMI Mogo 2 Pro seeing it loose against older and sometimes cheaper projectors like the Wemax is a bummer. Should have gone with another projector like the Mars 3 Air or the Wemax. Too bad.

    I'm having difficulty with getting a projector. i ended up with the nebular capsule but I want to be able to stream old cartoons from not paid for streaming sites that are free. Just old 90s stuiff. I think it shuts down if it catches copyright streaming. I also want to be able to air stream without complications from my phone. that has been the big one. I watch alot of stuff from these sites and I would like to seee it on the projector. could you recommend me a good one? This is my 3rd time ordering a projector and I don't want to return things anymore. I like how compact the nebula is. i have no complaints for the quality of the video. I think the sound is pretty good and it seems user friendly. The battery life just isn't long and I am having issues w/ trying to stream shows from other sites.

I've been waiting for months for your video because I bought the Nebula Mars 3 and wasn't sure how I felt about it. I now know it was the best purchase and you didn't even get into how it's able to charge other devices through its USB ports. As you said, one of its only few downsides is the bulk, but for outdoors it can't be beat. I just wish there was a way to recharge it on the go... in any case, you are doing great work and I sincerely appreciate you.

Which projector would you recommend? Battery, Price, Noise, and sharpness/contrast would be the main decision factor. 🙏🏻😊 After watching your review now thinking about whether Mars 3 Air or JMGO Ultra or something else? Many thanks

    • @TheHookUp
      @TheHookUp  Před 5 měsíci

      If battery power is important to you the Mars 3 (not the Mars 3 air) should be your pick. If battery power is not important than the JMGO N1 is a good pick. The N1 Ultra is a much more expensive projector but is significantly brighter.

    Does this extra brightness really make difference worth paying more?

      @mshmslv Před 5 měsíci

      I have MoGo and yes, the drop is brightness is incredibly noticeable. After 5 min of the low brightness your eyes will adjust, and you won't notice it as much, but I still recommend getting an external battery. I'd compare the experience of battery mode to traveling a few years back in time when the first portable projectors had 100ANSI or 150ANSI lumen brightness 😂.

      N1 Pro is significantly larger than the N1. If you are looking for portability the N1 is a much better pick. The N1 Pro does have the upgraded gimble setup of the N1 Ultra, but other than that I'm not sure it's worth $300-400 more than the N1 just for bit of extra brightness.

    wow I've been waiting for this review for a long time!
    As always, the most informative and objective reviews you can find on the web. Well done!
    Because of your review of 2022 I ordered the WEMAX GO ADVANCED and I am super happy with it.
    Including the extras (battery, TV STICK and portable speaker) it is still cheaper and more portable than the competitiors.
    Just two questions If I may,
    Why are there small differences between the reviews regarding the brightness (for example, the Wemax in the previous review was 607 ANSI and now 592 )?
    And is there a chance that one day you will make a rating chart of projectors?
    and again, thanx a lot. always a pleasure to watch your videos!

    • @TheHookUp
      @TheHookUp  Před 5 měsíci +2

      I retest and remeasure every projector for every video so they can be accurately compared. A difference of 15 lumens could be explained by something as simple as different battery level in the lux meter. In actuality a +/- 5% brightness value will be seen in all projectors, even ones with perfect quality control. So if we consider 600 to be a baseline for the Wemax Go Advanced that would mean you could end up with 570-630 lumens.

    Been watching for a couple years, love your reviews, just got a 4k OLED and noticed in the shot comparisons at 16:44, only in the 4k feed, looks like you've got a couple burnt pixels in the upper right quadrant of your camera. Freaked out for a second because I thought it was the TV, but they only showed up during that shot and I can see them on my 1080p computer monitor when I turn the playback resolution up to 4k. Not being critical; love your consistent methodology, just didn't want any flawed gear muddying the overall high quality of the information you provide.

    • @TheHookUp
      @TheHookUp  Před 5 měsíci

    • @link05g
      @link05g Před 5 měsíci

      If you look at Mary Elizabeth Winstead's hair in the Vava Mini window at the timecode provided in 4k, you'll see it. A burnt pixel happens when when your camera's sensor looses the ability to capture light, dark or both, and sometimes a specific color, in a pixel. Yours looks fine with bright colors, but stays white when it should be black. It's also visible when you are messing with the image settings at 17:01, top of the menu, in Brightness mode, to the left of Normal. @@TheHookUp

    @ThisHandleIsTakeAlso Před měsícem +2

    Great video review, as usual!
    Bear with me, this is a long message but has what I think for some may be helpful information regarding the N1. If you wrap a thin strip of clear silicon tape about 8" long and 2-4 mm wide around the joint spaces between the gimbal arms and the projector body, it will provide plenty of friction to keep the projector from angling up, even when an HDMI cable is connected, while still allowing the projector angle to be changed and not being very noticeable. The plates that are supposed to help provide friction for the gimbal arms screw into plastic holes which are almost immediately stripped if you try to adjust any of the plate screws. So IMO don't bother trying to adjust any screws, because the fix will be both inferior and temporary compared to wedging something between the gimbal arm and projector. If someone finds a better solution than a strip of silicone tape, please do share....I was thinking maybe a silicone split washer might work, but I'm not sure what dimensions would be optimal. With the silicone tape you could probably just wrap one side to provide enough friction, though I did both for a bulletproof solution. If you're changing the angle a lot (e.g. putting it in its case regularly) it might be better to do just one side.
    I have the N1 and N1 Ultra. Despite the Ultra having better specs I prefer the N1. It's smaller which I like , is plenty bright, it doesn't have a dolly for me to accidentally rotate it when plugging something in, the loose gimbal issue can be easily fixed, and the sound is still quite good despite being half the speaker wattage in a 40% smaller projector body. And the N1 is about half the price. I also like to put videos and music on a USB flash drive to watch/listen to on the projector, and if I were to get 4k movies for the Ultra my 1TB flash drive would fill up quickly.
    Also, in case it helps, there are recommendations on reddit and other forums to enable developer settings to disable animations, limit number of processes, and a few other things, in order to help speed up Android 11 for the N1. I did this and also disabled just about any bells and whistles that might negatively affect performance (turned off all notifications, uninstalled and disabled any dead weight stock apps I could without using ADB). The main apps I have installed on my projector are projectivity launcher (simple user interface without all the clutter of the android tv home screen), VLC, browser (the one with the red no -ing logo), and Poweramp for Android for listening to my music collection (it's a process to install--upload your music and the Poweramp .apk to a flash drive; get a license key from the Poweramp website [not Google Play store]; enable file access legacy mode and set the directory to the music folder on your flash drive; set up settings in a phone [can't change some settings in Android TV], export the settings to a .setting file and copy to your flash drive, import the .settings file using Cx File Explorer; maybe most importantly, avoid a full rescan or you will have to uninstall Poweramp and start all over).
    Also, in case anyone else has this issue, when I first set up my projector the flash drive wasn't recognized and the projector would reboot instead of power off. I tried a few things to fix the issue, including reformatting the flash drive until the projector recognized it then slowly loading content onto it a little at a time, and clearing the cache for most apps. I think just letting the projector settle into a routine is what actually fixed these issues. So if you are experiencing these problems, have a little patience with the projector and experiment a little with possible solutions in the meanwhile. Both the N1 and N1 Ultra had the exact same issues for me, and I think something about how I am setting up my projectors, maybe a certain app I am installing or setting I am enabling/disabling, is contributing to the issues. But both projectors experienced what seemed like spontaneous remission from these technological illnesses and now work without any problems.
    My philosophy with smart projectors and technology in general is the less bells and whistles, the less that can go wrong, and the less clutter the more efficient, streamlined, and consistent the experience. Keep things simple and problems will be less likely to crop up, OS is less likely to be laggy, and perhaps also the projector will last longer with the hardware being more efficiently used. If you made it to the end of this comment, congratulations. I am notorious for making long comments and messages but hopefully some of this is useful...
