Product Review

Product Reviewed

WBO da Vinci 1 Pro (1080p projector) with Google TV (built-in smart system).

Price / Purchase Context Mentioned

  • The reviewer paid ~997 PLN (via a Chinese site + coupon).
  • Notes the projector is often promoted through affiliate/referral links, with commission estimated at ~6–8%.

Key Features Highlighted

  • 1080p image with Google TV built in.
  • RGB color temperature / “temperature” adjustments (user-mode calibration).
  • Built-in speakers
    • Low tones present
    • Treble drops quickly
  • Cooling fan
    • Relatively quiet compared to many other projectors
  • Gaming performance
    • Includes a Game Mode
    • Performs much better on console than on PC
    • Low smear / good motion clarity
      • Blur is mostly attributed to sample-and-hold behavior rather than pixel response
  • Image size / throw (approx.)
    • ~70 inches at ~1 meter throw, positioned ~5 cm from the wall
    • “Optimal” around ~80 inches, possibly 85–90 inches in practice

Measured / Observed Performance (Main Points)

Major Problems / Cons

  1. Dead-on-arrival image quality

    • Factory settings look “awful”
    • Image described as extremely transparent/washed and very oversharpened
    • Reviewer reduced sharpness just to make it watchable

  2. Defective unit / artifacts

    • Large black spot / dust artifact inside (likely shipping/handling)
    • Later noted two light-bleed spots (brighter, bluish), especially in darker scenes

  3. Color accuracy / coverage

    • Out of the box, the color temperature is too blue
    • sRGB coverage ~60%
      • Causes faded/unsaturated colors
      • Visible color-chart distortions
    • Gamma behavior
      • Darkens some brighter values, creating “artificial contrast”

  4. Brightness lower than claimed

    • Manufacturer claims ~600 ANSI lumens
    • Reviewer tests indicate actual brightness is much lower than the declaration

  5. Smart security concerns

    • Strong warning against using main Google accounts on unknown/Chinese smart devices
    • Embedded Android/TV-stick ecosystems are described as often not updated, with potential malware/attack risk
    • Dislike of design: “Google TV” is implemented via a regular HDMI-connected Google TV stick inside the projector

  6. Gaming differences: PC vs Console

    • On PC: Game Mode did nothing
      • Input lag tests showed no improvement
    • On console: Game Mode significantly reduced input lag and made it playable
    • Still not recommended as a primary gaming projector due to remaining delay

Good Points / Pros

  • User calibration works
    • Adjusting RGB / color temperature improves results
    • Reviewer calibrated toward D65 “reference white,” but had to compromise due to limited fine control
  • Contrast (full screen)
    • Reported around ~1000:1 full-screen contrast (good for this class)
  • Motion handling / smear
    • Smearing looks good
    • UFO test shows practically no streaks
    • Blur considered mostly natural (sample-and-hold / frame refresh behavior)
  • Fan noise
    • Described as surprisingly slow and relatively quiet
    • No irritating high tones noted
  • Google TV usability
    • Faster and more responsive than older Android projector systems
    • Quick navigation on Netflix/YouTube
    • Works well on 5 GHz Wi‑Fi
    • Includes Chromecast and Google Assistant (voice control; Polish mentioned as a plus)

Comparisons Made

Compared to Ultima P40 (Similar Budget)

Reviewer’s stated Polish pricing:

  • Ultima P40 ~800 PLN (often “naked,” without Smart TV)
  • WBO da Vinci 1 Pro ~1250 PLN (with Smart TV)

When calibrated to best settings:

  • Ultima P40 is claimed to be brighter and better overall image
  • Ultima has better optics/sharpness and better contrast/uniformity (in the reviewer’s unit)
  • Verdict of comparison:
    • If choosing purely by image quality: Ultima P40 wins
    • Suggests adding an external Chromecast to Ultima P40 to get:
      • Better value
      • Smart functionality without the embedded security/update concerns

“Value for Money” vs Cheaper ~400–450 PLN Class

  • Reviewer argues some ~400–450 PLN projectors can be similar in key image aspects.
  • Claims the extra WBO cost goes more to features he considers less important than image quality (e.g., smart functions/automated corrections), not proportional core improvements.
  • Concern: automated corrections (e.g., focus/keystone) could harm sharpness/pixel use if placement isn’t perfect.

User Experience Notes

  • Out-of-box setup not satisfactory
    • Needs reduced sharpness and likely color temperature adjustment
  • Smart TV experience
    • Generally smooth after loading
    • Main concern is security and long-term updates
  • Disassembly / maintenance difficulty
    • Many glued connectors
    • Reviewer reports breaking/misalignment of internal parts (Fresnel/panel shift), causing visible effects in dark scenes
    • Needed to reopen to fix

Numerical Values Explicitly Mentioned

  • sRGB coverage: ~60%
  • Full-screen contrast: ~1000:1
  • Brightness claim vs test
    • Declared: 600 ANSI lumens
    • Tested: much lower (no exact measured number stated in subtitles)
  • Price
    • Paid: ~997 PLN
    • Poland typical: ~1250 PLN (WBO with Smart)
    • Ultima P40: ~800 PLN
    • Chromecast HD estimate: ~200 PLN
  • Fan / motion timing
    • 60 Hz frame interval mentioned: ~16.1 ms
    • Blur explanation references effective refresh ~16.5 ms and sample-and-hold behavior
  • Speaker comparison
    • Bluetooth speaker around ~200–250 PLN referenced for sound comparison

Unique Points (Consolidated)

  1. Out-of-box image described as washed/“transparent” and oversharpened; factory mode unusable.
  2. Black spot/dust issue on the left side; later intended to fix by opening.
  3. Two light-bleed spots (bluish/brighter) visible in dark scenes.
  4. Factory color temperature too blue; sRGB ~60%.
  5. Gamma darkens some bright values, creating “artificial contrast.”
  6. Brightness lower than the 600 ANSI lumens claim (tests show less).
  7. RGB/color temperature adjustment noticeably improves image (toward D65, limited fine control).
  8. Built-in speakers: low tones OK; treble drops quickly; “cold” sound; speech remains understandable.
  9. Fan described as relatively quiet and slow.
  10. Gaming:
    • Game Mode doesn’t help on PC (no measured input-lag improvement)
    • Helps on console (playable, but not ideal)
  11. Motion clarity is strong; blur is mostly “natural” due to sample-and-hold.
  12. Google TV feels faster than older Android projector systems; quick streaming navigation; Chromecast + Assistant with Polish voice support.
  13. Security warning: avoid logging main Google account; use separate credentials due to uncertain updates/malware risk.
  14. “Google TV” design uses an internal HDMI-connected Google TV stick; reviewer prefers external streaming for reliability/updates.
  15. Screen size guidance: ~70” at ~1m (~5 cm from wall); ~80” typical; 85–90” possible.
  16. Disassembly is difficult (glued connectors); internal optics misalignment caused visible dark-scene issues.
  17. Ultima P40 comparison outcome: Ultima is brighter and higher image quality; even with Chromecast it’s still better value.
  18. Value critique: WBO price is only compelling at much lower cost (~800–900 PLN); otherwise weak vs alternatives.
  19. Criticism of “review culture”: some reviews are subjective and not always measured; argues for affiliate-free/argument-based reviews.

Speakers / Additional Perspectives

  • The subtitles appear to show only one main speaker (the reviewer).
  • The reviewer references:
    • Manufacturer promises vs measured results
    • Other reviewers/materials (including an example such as “Mr. Przemek Kuciński”)—as commentary, not a separate speaker viewpoint.

Concise Verdict / Recommendation

Overall: A decent projector whose image needs tuning (sharpness + color temperature) and that has real hardware/quality limitations (notably ~60% sRGB, lower real brightness than claimed, and uneven black/light-bleed in the reviewer’s unit).

Smart features are convenient, but the reviewer strongly distrusts the security/update reliability of embedded smart sticks and prefers external streaming.

Recommendation from the video

  • Buy only if you find it at a much lower price (~800–900 PLN) or if you specifically want built-in Google TV despite security concerns.
  • For best image value: Ultima P40 (with external Chromecast) is recommended over the WBO.
