Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I’m one of few people that had hands on experience with both the Xiaomi 4K projector and the VAVA 4K projector setup. Here’s a quick comparison: 1. Brightness: VAVA is slightly brighter than Xiaomi. I did some digging and found that Xiaomi has 16 Laser diodes and the VAVA has 20 diodes. 2. Image Quality: VAVA wins. In the screen shot (from an online comparison) you can see that VAVA has better colors and depth whereas some of the details on the Xiaomi are more washed out. In all fairness, to get the best color accuracy, both the VAVA and Xiaomi require fine tuning of the RGB settings out of the box. Once you have that setup, the difference is noticeably in VAVA's favor. 3. Sound: VAVA’s Harmon Kardon soundbar BLOWS the Xiaomi out of the water. 4. Form factor: Xiaomi is about 50% smaller than the VAVA which makes it more portable. The VAVA is a beefier unit that feels more premium with the fabric and heavier feeling plastics. 5. Price: Xiaomi is about $700 cheaper than Xiaomi. 6. Support: VAVA – they are based in the US and have a US support team. Summary: The VAVA is essentially a Xiaomi on steroids. If you are on a tight budget, you can’t go wrong with the Xiaomi since it has fairly positive reviews online. In my opinion, paying a $700 premium for the VAVA for better image, sound, and support in the US is worth it. Winner: VAVA
