Valerion’s range of 4K front projectors has been grabbing attention on Kickstarter, and their latest model, the Valerion VisionMaster Max, was showcased at CES. It was set up in a dark room with a massive 220-inch projection screen. Even with such a large screen, clips from Avatar: The Way of Water looked impressively bright, and the deep, detailed blacks showcased the projector’s claimed 15,000:1 contrast ratio, thanks to a dynamic iris feature.
Like the Hisense L9Q, the VisionMaster Max runs on the Google TV smart platform and features an RGB laser light engine that covers 110% of the BT.2020 color space. It supports both Dolby Vision and HDR10+ formats for high dynamic range, and it can handle 1080p input at 240Hz with only 4ms input lag, making it great for gaming. The projector includes a lens with a 0.9-1.5:1 optical zoom and horizontal/vertical shift. Additional lens options will be available for more flexible installations, and there’s automatic image correction to make setup easier.
The Valerion VisionMaster Max is priced at $3,999 and is currently available for pre-order on the company’s website.
