Speaking of projectors, in the impression of the general public, in addition to the high price, it is probably its huge and bulky "size", right? Who would associate it with the words "thin" and "portable"? However, a projector product that the author tried today may be about to overturn many people's stereotype of the projector, because as a full-featured projector product, its lightness and portability have reached the level of "outrageous", and you can even carry it in your pocket!

Well, let's not make a fuss. Now let's welcome the protagonist of today's trial - Q6 Elite Edition (NEW) of Cool LeTV Projector!

▼ The outer package of Q6 adopts a rectangular shape with a white background. On the upper left of the front is the product's LOGO and SLOGAN ("Love movies, love life") information, and on the lower right is the "60 inch mobile phone projection partner", which reveals the product's positioning; The back of the outer package is the specific parameter information of the product, showing the main functions and characteristics of Q6 on the side, so that consumers can have a clear and intuitive understanding of the product.

▼ The internal division of the packaging box is neat and reasonable, and different product accessories are placed in separate sections. The paper part mainly includes three guarantees certificate and quick operation guide.

As a rule, family photos are indispensable. The included tripod and flannelette bag are very practical accessories.

▼ The appearance of Kuletv Q6 is rectangular, with a certain radian at the four corners, white on the upper and lower sides (different materials), and grass green middle frame edging, which is full of visual impact. The three-dimensional dimension of the whole machine is 145mmx78mmx15.8mm, which is very thin and delicate. Let's intuitively experience the super small and thin figure of Q6 through two comparison pictures.

▼ How about? Do you feel shocked. Make up the image of the projector in your memory, and then look at the Q6, which is slightly larger than the MX3. Would you like to marvel at the magic of technology as I do?

Of course, although the Q6 is so slim and petite, it has all kinds of functional interfaces integrated into it. Among them, the HDMI interface can connect the Q6 with the TV and use it as a network set-top box; Various external storage devices can be connected through the TF card slot and USB interface, and you can even connect wireless mouse, game handle and other peripherals through the USB interface.

▼ The front white panel of Q6 is integrated with a touch function button and a blue backlight, which makes it easy to operate even in a dark environment; In front of the side of the machine is the focusing wheel, through which the lens focal length can be adjusted to obtain a clear projection effect.

▼ The back panel of Q6 is designed with tripod holes and support legs. The tripod holes are of standard caliber. In addition to the small tripod that can be attached, many of our common camera tripods can also be attached; We can also see that Q6 has its own speakers, and the actual experience is that in a quieter environment, the speaker volume can basically meet the demand.

▼ If you are afraid of affecting others when watching the movie, you can also enjoy the wonderful world of audio and video by connecting an external headset alone. Q6 has its own 3.5mm headset interface, which is compatible with most earphones on the market. Is it very considerate?

▼ Having said so much, the footage of Q6 has not been introduced yet? Don't worry, let's take a look at the lens that can provide a 60 inch (the best viewing size, in fact, can also be enlarged to 100 inches) giant screen effect. Was it a bit unexpected? How can such a small lens project such a large picture?

Our evaluation is divided into two parts: the first part mainly shows the system interface and performance of Q6, and the second part mainly shows the actual projection effect of Q6.

The first part: performance, system interface and function test.

According to the data on the official website of Kule TV, the hardware configuration of Q6 (elite version) is: 4-core CPU, 1G storage, 8G storage space (part of which is occupied by the system), 2.4G WIFI. The results and performance evaluation are as follows after installing Anthare on Q6. Of course, for a projector product, the significance of scoring is not very great.

▼ The Q6 system is based on the LuxUI of Android 4.4.4. The system interface is a typical Metro style. The color matching is very bright and eye-catching. Common functions are integrated on the first screen of the desktop, and the layout is reasonable.

▼ The wireless connection function of Q6 is very powerful, and it supports DLNA, Android Miracast and Apple Airplay I will take the connection between MX3 and Q6 as an example to show the Miracast wireless connection function of Q6.

Turn on the projection screen function on MX3, and then turn on the wireless display function of Q6. MX3 will automatically search for the signal of Q6, click Connect, click Confirm in the connection invitation popped up on Q6, and the screen content of MX3 will be displayed in the Q6 projection screen.

▼ Airplay and DLNA are not shown here, and the instructions in the official user manual (electronic version) are attached as shown below.

▼ Q6's built-in player has a very powerful playback capability. It is measured that 1080P video can be played smoothly, which fully proves Q6's powerful decoding capability. Of course, due to its physical resolution of only 854x480, the practical significance is not very great; The resource manager of Q6 can directly attach the network neighbor. The following figure shows the screenshot of 1080P video in NAS played through SAMBA. Fast forward and fast reverse are also very smooth. The player of Q6 is very powerful, which can switch audio tracks, add subtitles, etc.

▼ Of course, we can also download a lot of third-party online broadcast software in the application market (the built-in application market is actually the sofa butler APP), such as Taijie Video, VST Total Aggregation, TV Home, etc., to watch rich and wonderful film and television content.

▼ Although the hardware configuration of Q6 is a little hard to play large games (Street Fighter 4 can't run actually), it is still easy to play small games. If a wireless game controller is connected externally, it is still cool. I installed the TV version of Grape Game Hall on Q6, and personally tested the go kart and the Kung Fu 97 HD version, which can run smoothly.

▼ In addition to the touch buttons on the front panel, the Q6 can also be remotely controlled through WeChat, which is very tall. It is also very simple to use. Follow the public account of "Kuletv Technology Service" on WeChat, and then click the remote control button below to enter the remote control interface to search for Q6. After the connection, you can easily control Q6.

Of course, if the official can provide a small physical remote control, it would be excellent. After all, virtual keys are always more comfortable and natural than physical keys.

▼ Q6 is positioned as the projection companion of the mobile phone. It has a built-in 5000mAh battery and can support 120 minutes of endurance in the projection mode (official data, not tested). It is more than enough to watch a movie; In addition, it is worth mentioning that Q6 can be used as mobile power to charge mobile phones (tablet computers are not supported). In the future, you don't need to take mobile power when you go out, just take Q6.

Part II: Actual projection effect

In the first part of the evaluation, we mainly showed the performance, system and various functions of Q6. We believe that the excellent performance of Q6 has left a deep impression on everyone. So, as a micro projector product positioned as a mobile phone projection partner, what is the biggest selling point of Q6 - projection?

Let's review the main parameters of Q6. The following figure shows the main technical specifications of Q6 in the official user manual (electronic version).

The first three data items are directly related to the projection performance of Q6: resolution, display system and light source. The resolution of Q6 has reached the level of WVGA. There is still a certain gap between the resolution of Q6 and that of mainstream micro investment products (WXGA1280X800) using the same technology. Considering the price, cost and product positioning, it is understandable.

According to the official introduction of Kuletv, the brightness of Q6 Elite can reach 60ANSI lumens (the flagship version can reach 75 lumens), which is not very good looking compared with many micro investment products that often name hundreds or even thousands of lumens. In fact, the false label of lumens is an open secret in the micro investment circle, while the 60ANSI lumens of Kuletv Q6 is obviously the actual lumen value, and there is no false label. This is very valuable! Like one!

With so much nonsense, let's experience the actual projection performance of Q6 Elite Edition through live photos. (Unless otherwise specified, the following live pictures are taken by Meilan NOTE2.).

▼ First, let's compare two Q6 screens with the laptop screen in the daytime highlight environment. It is a blazing sun outdoors, and the indoor environment light is relatively strong. Both laptop and Q6 have been adjusted to the maximum brightness. As can be seen from the figure below, the overall color of Q6 is warm, and there is still a gap between Q6 and laptop in details. The overall performance is quite excellent.

▼ The maximum projection size of Q6 officially recommended by Kule TV is 60 inches. In the following figure, I took a Q6 projection picture in the living room at night. One floor tile is 80cm long, and we can see that the length of the projection area is about 140cm. The resolution ratio of Q6 is 16:9, and the diagonal length of the projection area should be more than 60 inches.

In the following two pictures, the upper picture is shot with the light on (40W fluorescent lamp), and the lower picture is shot with the light off, playing the online video "Flower Thousand Bones" (my wife's favorite). It can be seen that the projection effect of Q6 is good, especially when the lights are off. From this, we also know that if we want to get a better viewing effect, on the one hand, the environment should be darker, the darker the better; On the other hand, the projection size should not be too large.

▼ Because Q6 is very portable, we can even put it on the ceiling, so that we can enjoy wonderful movies lying in bed.

The following two pictures show Q6 projected on the ceiling of the living room. The above picture is taken when the light is on, and the following picture is taken when the light is off.

Kuletv Q series is a hand-held projection series designed for home, entertainment, business and other environments. It is compact in size and suitable in brightness, allowing users to enjoy the infinite pleasure of large screen display anytime and anywhere.

As a member of the Q series, Q6 Elite Edition forms an ingenious balance in terms of volume, function, endurance, brightness, playability, price, etc. Mobile projection companion is its mission and pursuit. It can expand your mobile phone screen to 60 inches, enable you to enjoy blockbusters anytime, anywhere, share good things in your mobile phone with friends, and play several small games, When the mobile phone is out of power, it can serve as a mobile power supply to solve your urgent needs.

Such an all-around, portable, extremely thin, and full of beauty projector is worth having!
