After testing several budget projectors, the WEMAX Vogue 100 stands out with its impressive 1600 ANSI lumens brightness. Even in daylight (unless direct sunlight hits), the image remains vivid—like having a giant TV on your wall. At 2.9m distance, I got a crisp ~3m x 1.6m display that made movie nights feel cinematic.

The auto-focus and keystone correction work flawlessly, though I tweaked manual settings for perfection: whitbalance red bumped to 1080, contrast at 60, and sharpness dialed down to 10 eliminated pixelation. Gaming (like GTA 5) felt smooth even without 'gaming mode,' and the projector stayed cool in Colombia’s 32°C heat—no LED burnout fears.

Black levels aren’t OLED-tier due to the high brightness, but shadow details hold up well. For ~$400, it punches above its weight—feeling like a $700-$1K device. Skip the built-in apps (a Fire Stick works better) and external speakers for optimal use.

Minor gripes? Mediocre built-in audio and digital-only keystone. But for the price, it’s a steal—especially if you prioritize brightness and color accuracy over pitch-black blacks.
