The self-entertainment of the bedroom: the direct-viewing ViewSonic ViewSonic projector PRO8200 and domestic maintenance experience

Write in front: lz I haven't written a composition for a long time, and my writing skills have been seriously degraded. Rendered in the text is generated using a home improvement design website.

First, the reason for buying PRO8200

As a dross whose nature is poor but easy to see, many years ago the idea of ​​building a video room was created. The video room had to have a projector. Although the house has no money to decorate, it does not prevent me from buying a projector. Enjoy the shock of the big screen in the bedroom.

So on a certain day after seeing this push, the head is hot and orders are placed.

The reason for choosing this machine is simple: 1. 1080P, 2. The price is acceptable. 3D functions I don't need (good 3D film sources are few), as for what projection technology several color wheel, for a person who has only used the conference room commercial projector to do PPT report, it does not make sense

After going through the stupid mistake of writing the wrong mobile number and calling the Amazon to change the number, the projector finally reached my hand and lasted 14 days.

On the next day after the arrival of the goods, I received the mail, a refund of 18.35 knives and a total cost of 56.36 knives.

Second, out of the box

If it weren't for a repair, people who are afraid of trouble like lz are not ready to post, so they don't have authentic photos of opening boxes. They can only give a few mechanical photos to valued friends. Of course, the machine pictures can be easily found on the Internet, so this part is free to take a look.

Chrysanthemum figure, interface is relatively complete, although lz currently only uses VGA and power connector

Top view, power/menu button, focus knob. Do not tear the film because it is lazy

Front view, wired connection between lens cap and body

Front view, logo details: Three birds next to the model will also appear when no signal is input

Front view, front pad detail

Side view, in order to dissipate heat, such a large cooling hole is necessary, of course, the suction effect should also be great

Remote control, compared with the standard KPW2. Comes with two AAA batteries. When not in use, cover the machine with a silk scarf. Well, it is the background of the remote control and KPW2.

Third, a person's viewing time

Playback Machine: After serving 5 years of black X201i, there is no hdmi interface, only through the VGA cable connection. Fortunately, the projector comes with a good quality VGA cable (now has been used to connect an external monitor, see the movie when you pull Plug it down to the projector);

Source: Various 1080P down on the network

Speaker: Aunt Zhang frequenter EDIFIER R2000DB classic version, the price is pretty good, ¥ 599 (of course, point back I still experienced a month in the machine broke the twists and turns of the replacement) small room, desk box is enough;

Screen: Because the current home is conveniently used to project a white wall with only the bedroom, and it will be moved to its own house in the future. Therefore, in the spirit of conservation, we did not buy a curtain and went straight to the white wall.

The projector is also placed on the cabinet (the floor rack of more than 50 oceans bought by tb is too high and is now used as a speaker rack). The biggest disadvantage is that the focus must be adjusted every time, and the best condition is to hoist (or hang).

Lz bedroom is very small, but it must double as a bedroom, study room, audio and video room, limited to space, only one person can watch the projection

Fourth, viewing evaluation

This machine has only been purchased for more than 30 hours since it was purchased. It also includes the use of the time during the day during the weekend, and lz has never used a high-end machine. The only thing that can be compared is its own monitor. Therefore, the following are all white and short-term use feelings. reference.

★Advantages:

1. The screen is big, this is king.

2. Interfaces are multiple and full.

☆ Disadvantages:

1. Closer to the viewing distance, you can clearly see the particles, the exquisiteness is not as good as the 23.6-inch display (← nonsense), if the viewing distance is 3 meters away, the estimate will be better.

2. The contrast is not enough (parameter is 4000:1). Compared with the screen shots of some high-end brand projectors on the Internet, the screen is obviously gray and the colors are not bright enough, especially the edges of the screen are dark (3800 oceans are still not required what)

3. Some high-speed moving pictures have smears

4. Lumens are not high and need to be watched under strict shading conditions. The PRO8200 has only 2200 lumens. During the day, the pull curtains look dismal (non-blind), lz is usually used at night, the projection distance is 3m, and the maximum is 96 inches (wall width).

5. Since the projector is close to people, noise is inevitable. After the economy mode is opened, the noise is significantly reduced, and the viewing will not be affected. At night or in a well-lit room, the economic mode of view is quite sufficient

6. The wall is smooth and reflectively serious (well, what's the problem with the projector?)

In general, positioning in entry-level models, taking into account the price, these disadvantages lz can be tolerated

The following is a look at the picture. I wanted to put a few movie pats on it, but I didn't have any camera or technology to make a slag residue (small black card 1 generation, non-photographic enthusiasts, handheld), the movie screen shot really can not see what can see the picture, down some movies from Douban Static picture shoot, you make do.

It should be noted that the dynamic picture of the projected movie is not the same as the static picture. It seems that the following pictures are better.

Basic details of the monkey's face, of course, clear cartoon lines, more easily than the effect of the film, can be compared to the original watercress

Due to limitations in filming techniques, the queen and white rabbit have a slight loss of facial detail and the actual effect is more delicate.

The goddess's pleats will always come out and the actual picture will be more delicate

This is lz screen shots, mainly like the composition of this scene, you can see the right side of the wall reflective effect touching

The original image from watercress, projection color expression is general, the details are still improvise

Such an eye-catching person is covered with an entire wall, and it is possible to see dawn from darkness.

Still no good shot

The only one hold down the pause screen is not ambiguous. . . Guess which movie this is

V. Domestic maintenance

After buying more than 1 month, I turned on the projection and watched the movie one night. I was pleasantly surprised to find a colorful spot.

What is this ghost? . .

The first thing to open the Amazon website to check the order, open the order when clicking on the return, the relentless facts hit me

The machine was used for 31 hours and the purchase time was 40 days. . .

Real Nima, point back

The next day is the weekend. Although I don't want to disturb Amazon's customer service, there is no way to solve the problem.

After receiving the answer, the customer sister who answered the call answered me with sincerity:

This answer I heard almost

Insert one sentence: ViewSonic non-global warranty, the United States to buy the goods, the Americas can guarantee, but Asia is not in the scope of UNPROFOR, domestic ViewSonic maintenance is paid.

After talking with her sister for a while, the last sister suggested me

Well, it's always better to push it. Happily ended the phone of harmony.

Since the maintenance point did not go to work on weekends, he contacted the specific technicians on Monday. According to my description, the other party reply

- It's not as simple as I started naively thought of entering the ash. Contact the machine to send in the past, disassemble check, quote.

Another sentence, after the domestic dismantling, foreign countries can not guarantee - of course, lz is impossible to send the machine to foreign warranty. . .

The service point will reply to me soon after receiving the machine

So once again calling Amazon aftermarket, and huddled to the second customer service sister about the situation, if not the second sister is also full of sincere reply:

Lz quickly said the promise of the last customer service. This time the sister listened to lz's miserable statement, went to find the last customer service record, checked for a long time, and then said with a blush:

Last promised to bear half of the expenses, this time the heroic reimbursement to full reimbursement, lz was deeply moved

The repair point soon replaced the Guangtong and sent the machine back. By this time, it was another weekend.

After checking the machine, I couldn't help but loneliness. I called Amazon's customer service for the third time.

This time is a little brother. The third contact, lz speaking ability has been greatly improved, smooth and concise to all the situations including the customer service before the reply to the little brother, the little brother listened to, very skillfully reported lz:

Things have now basically completed, lz wait for a refund.

Thanks to Amazon conscience after sales

Of course, the lesson is not absent.

1. There is a risk of sea scouring. If large items are not available for free domestic warranty, they must be carefully considered when picking up.

2. The maintenance personnel told me after teardown inspection that 1 this machine was definitely not demolished, and 2 was not used badly – ​​then it was the problem of the machine itself.

3. If it is not just a return period, if there is a problem after a few months of receiving the goods, Amazon will give the same treatment? . . .

Lz felt that he was still looking for a koi and saying goodbye to pray not to point back. . . .
