Design does not require merit
To say that the appearance of this MiZi Z5 is not too special, there is no Z4X vinyl record design, nor CC like a playful handle, but this metal brushed, silver and black color matching, Integrating a modern home environment is basically zero mistakes. The volume is a lot smaller than I expected, not larger than the desktop speakers, 1.7kg weight is also easy to move. However, it does not have a built-in battery like CC. It still needs extra power to work. In order to be tidy, I usually stay at home and put it away.
Since there is no built-in battery, it must be connected to the power supply
Of course, this is much more convenient than installing a TV or a projector. And it's true that modern people are busy. How much time can you really watch movies or listen to music? (Excluding the number of lying money) so the main appeal can still be opened to see the film.
Power on, adjust focus by remote control, focus, connect to the network, and then you can operate like a smart TV. Since the screenless TV is similar to the projection + intelligent system, the operation modes of common smart TVs can be found on the Z5 meters, such as the screenless assistant. After the mobile phone is installed, it can be converted into a remote controller, and the mobile phone screen can be mirrored to the projection. on. The GMUI3.0 desktop is also a little different from the smart TV, and the response is smooth, so as long as you will use the TV, it will not be difficult to get started with the Z5.
The remote control is consistent with previous generations of products and supports voice control
Increased brightness, better picture performance
The difference with TV is that it is a projection after all, and it is further constrained by conditions such as light and distance. The Z5 uses a 0.45-inch DMD RGB-LED DLP device with a brightness of 1000 ANSI lumens, and its flagship H1S has a brightness of 1100 ANSI lumens. The overall brightness and conventional home projectors are already flat.
I said in front of me that it is convenient for the screenless projector to focus on the brightness. The brightness of the screen is directly displayed on the white wall. There is no problem at all. The room does not require special blackout curtains. At a distance of about 2 meters, a projection area of ​​about 100 inches is obtained, whether it is a bedroom or a living room, which is also an advantage of projection compared to television. In addition, Z5 has also added a left and right trapezoidal correction. I have tried to deliberately place it in a position that deviates from the center of the white wall, but in the end I can get a regular rectangular picture.
Indoor shading is better in the shooting picture, contrast and saturation are good
The resolution of 1280×800 used by it is equivalent to 720P image quality, which is indeed a pity. Fortunately, the new DLP components brought about by the contrast, saturation of the picture has greatly compensated for the effect, if you can pay attention to the shading, viewing experience will not be lower than the traditional home projector.
What I also care about is the motion compensation function. In fact, many flat-panel TVs have been equipped with this function for a long time and there is no need to explain it more. However, it is still the first time on a screenless TV. Its role is to make the motion picture look smoother and smoother. For example, when watching a football game at home, I purposely set "motion compensation" to "strong", obviously feeling that the player's movement became more pleasing to the eye.
In addition, the Mstar 6A838 chip equipped with the Z5 has also been able to decode HDR video for the first time. It is easy to see that this Z5 is intended to be a flagship.
After turning on the lights in the room, the screen can still be seen clearly
You can also temporarily serve as a bookshelf
The only thing left to talk about is the sound of the Z5 Z5. After all, what it claims is that it is also a smart speaker with no screen TV. In fact, listening to songs in the bedroom at home, I have been using a mini Bluetooth speaker, but also want to buy a bookshelf speakers, but really no place to put.
Sometimes you don't want to watch videos, just use Z5 to listen to songs, connect to WiFi network to enter music mode to play Baidu music, or play songs in your phone through Bluetooth. In terms of sound quality, the Harman Kardon 40mm dual speakers and my small speakers used in the Z5 are absolutely not a hierarchy. Especially in the small space of the bedroom, listening to the vocals of popular songs is still quite sensation. The treble has to go and the bass comes. Some deficiencies are that the sound is not full and full.
The bottom speaker is printed with the harman/kardon logo
By the way, under the fan sound, it is also a matter of bedroom use more concerned. I noticed that the Z5 fan speed was in the 1-2 range, and the temperature was maintained at about 40°C, which was much less than the traditional projector wind noise. But I originally wanted to project the screen vertically to the ceiling, but it was easy to block the fan and stop it.
Finally, it is necessary to make a statement, because of personal reasons, the main use of the scene in the bedroom, for the Mi Z5, the living room can actually give it more room to play. For example, during the use process, there was a firmware update once, a dual screen mode was added, two screens of different sources (dual HDMI interfaces) could be displayed at the same time, and the position and size ratios of two screens and sound output settings were also supported. Look at the left side of the film, the right PS4 can play.
Top touch volume adjustment indicator, left or right to increase or decrease volume
Rear interface and fan, wind noise are within acceptable limits
Summary: Different gameplay focuses on problem solving
From the perspective of the layout of products without meters, the Z5 is not as good as the flagship H1S, but it is obviously the main sales of the meters in the market. It not only satisfies our expectations for projection and television, but it also provides more than expected. Such as the built-in Harman Kardon speakers, not only is a simpler home projection solution, but also brings better sound quality, two modes are free to switch. In effect it is not inferior to the entry home projector, but also have the advantage of free movement and wiring. It can be said that whether they are compared with TV or traditional projectors, their gameplay is completely different. If you also have very specific problems like me, or if you are currently uncertain among the three, you can still make the right decisions based on the quality, size, cost, and other needs.
