As a post-80s generation who grew up in the countryside, the first impression of video and audio when I was young was not from TV, but from the movie that someone in the village asked someone to pull a white screen with a black border on the road when they had a red or white wedding. When night came, the movie was played by an old film projector. That is to say, since then, I have had a great love for movies and a great curiosity about projectors and even films. Later, after the popularity of television, this kind of outdoor movie gradually faded out of our life and became close to the small screen. It seems that we gradually forget the fun brought by the large screen. However, with the continuous improvement of people's living standards in recent years, more foreign blockbusters have poured into China. In addition to the constant impact of 3D technology and IMAX technology on our eyes, we increasingly feel that the visual and auditory feelings brought to us by cinemas are beyond the reach of home televisions. As people continue to pour into cinemas and box office records are broken one after another, many people also begin to think how wonderful it would be if they could experience this kind of cinema viewing experience at home as much as possible. Inspired by this market demand, the intelligent micro investment industry has flourished in recent years. The author is also very lucky to get the opportunity to experience nut G3 on Lei Feng.com. Here is a real experience of the post-80s generation after using it for two weeks.

When the express arrived, I could not restrain my excitement and walked briskly to the door of the unit. I took the express box from the express boy. Although I could not find the true face of G3 in the paper box, I was surprised at the moment when I started! It's much lighter than I expected. On the way back, I was like a bridegroom holding a bride with a veil, excited and eager. When I returned to my desk, my hand started to cut, and the G3 in it finally revealed its true face. The box comes with a handle. If you buy G3 in a physical store, you can easily take it back. Can't stand it anymore, open the box! The first thing I saw when I opened the box was the projector itself, the silver disk, and finally I got close to it. The whole packaging box is designed with two layers above and below. Between the two layers is a protective sponge. Two grooves are designed on both sides of the upper layer sponge G3, which can easily lift the sponge together with the projector. The lower layer is the power supply, remote control, manual and warranty card.

The volume of G3 is really small. I feel that the whole machine can be covered with five fingers. As for the appearance, everyone should be familiar with it. It is different from the projector made by many manufacturers. The nut projector seems to be round. G3 as a whole is a wheel, but there is a little bulge at the corner of the lens. Because the color of the bulge is black, it doesn't look so abrupt. The silver disc on the top of the projector is made of plastic, and the surface is not very smooth, but a fine sanding treatment, so that no obvious fingerprint will be left after being taken by hand. The side part of the projector is a circle of black metal mesh, with speakers and cooling vents inside. There are also plenty of interfaces on the side of the projector: 3.5mm audio output, network cable interface, HDMI interface, USB3.0 and USB2.0 each have an AV signal interface, which is more than enough for home use. In addition to the silver disc on the top of the projector, a circle of silver rings is also inlaid on the outside of the bottom, just like a silver disc is inserted at the bottom. The bottom of the projector is made of black plastic, with an arc shaped anti slip rubber strip, a universal fixing interface, and two screws that can adjust the elevation angle of the projector. In a word, the whole projector is textured and beautiful, with a sense of refinement and elegance. This machine is like a display in any corner of the home, and it has the power to enhance the family environment.

Compared with the projector itself, the other remote control that can do the most work is a little weak. The size of the remote control is very small and light. If the hand is relatively large, there is not much sense of presence in the hand. In addition, although the front and back have been sanded to some extent, it is still difficult to hide the strong plastic feeling, The side part without sanding treatment is more plastic. The front of the remote control is arranged with 13 keys, which is relatively simple on the whole. The pressing and springback of the keys are good. There is also a volume key on the side of the remote control, which is similar to the design of the volume key on the mobile phone, but it is not particularly easy to find because it is flush with the side of the remote control. Although it is printed with a slightly raised plus or minus sign, But if you want to do blind exercises, it is not very convenient. In addition, the power supply of this remote control is actually a button battery, which makes it not so convenient to replace. Therefore, if heavy users of the projector buy this machine, please keep a button battery at home.

After the power is turned on, a red ring will appear in the center of the silver disc on the top. Touch the middle position of the ring with your finger for a few seconds, the red ring will turn white, and the projector will turn on. The effect is amazing. Because the operating environment of the projector is dark most of the time, it is convenient to turn on the projector with this indicator light. The lens cover will open automatically when the camera is turned on, and of course, it will close automatically when the camera is turned off. This function is obviously not only very cool, but also has a good protective effect on the lens. But one thing is that when the lens cover is opened and closed, it will clearly hear a karaoke sound. Of course, if you really don't want the automatic opening and closing function of the lens cover, you can choose to turn it off. But to protect the eyes of the projector, we'd better keep this function on.

In fact, the projector is not new. It has been widely used in some enterprises, education industry and other fields long ago. But at that time, the projector was just a video output device, which was equivalent to a screen, and needed to be connected to a video source. So when you really want to use the projector to watch a movie, you need to add at least one player and data cable for connection. If you have any more requirements for sound, you need to add audio equipment. So every time I use the projector, I feel I have to exert my power. In a word, it is not practical. But now the micro investment has evolved into a guy with well-developed limbs and a complicated mind. You can enjoy the visual enjoyment brought by the large screen as long as you connect him with electricity. The official website claims that the nut G3 is equipped with an 8-core GPU with a main frequency of 1.8GHZ, etc. How does it really work? According to the author's test, the time from turning on the power to the projector entering the menu interface is 22.23 seconds, which is relatively fast. The relatively short boot time also greatly improves the practicability of G3.

After the projector is normally turned on, the first thing is to focus manually. Yes, G3 does not support automatic focusing. You must and can only use the remote control to focus manually. The whole process is simple and fast, but for some obsessive-compulsive patients, it is absolutely killing. I always feel that my adjustment is not good enough each time I use it, so I always have to adjust it repeatedly before stopping, So I don't understand why this is not available on today's relatively new machine with increasingly standardized auto focus.

Before putting in the picture of the projection picture, I must explain that because my shooting device is only a thousand yuan mobile phone, there is a certain gap between the picture quality and the actual effect. In fact, the color and clarity of the G3 picture projection are much better than the following pictures.

When the projector is turned on, it is estimated that you will hear the sound of the cooling fan immediately. Although the sound is available, it is acceptable for the author. Especially when you start watching a TV program or movie, it is difficult to detect the sound. At the same time, even in the operating interface, The G3 is also cleverly matched with soothing background music. In fact, except for the time when you turn on the machine, you will feel the sound of the fan.

The G3 operation interface is designed simply, which can be said to be suitable for all ages. No matter what your personal preference for the operation interface, you can get started very quickly. As for the response speed of operation, because the author could not restrain his strong desire to use at the first time, he immediately tried it in the company after receiving the express delivery, which attracted many colleagues to come and watch, A colleague who can be called an electronic digital enthusiast in our office said, "This speed is much faster than my XX box" after the actual operation. Yes, the operating system is really smooth, and you can't feel any stuck.

In terms of content, Nuts G3 has a built-in litchi TV client and fully covers iQIYI video content resources, so in itself, these resources are enough to meet daily needs. In addition, G3 can install third-party software, which greatly expands its resources and the playability of the entire machine.

one The most important thing is the projection effect. The biggest selling point of nut G3 is brightness, which is officially claimed to be 1000 ANSI lumens. It kills other micro projectors at the same price. The author also feels that the brightness is enough to see clearly during indoor use in the daytime and can be used, but the effect is certainly not as good as at night. I think that most consumers buy projectors in order to obtain greater and better visual enjoyment, so they seldom choose to use them in the environment with poor projection effect in the daytime, so I personally think that a certain degree of brightness is enough, If you really want to get better results in general daytime environment, 1000 ANSI lumens is far from enough. However, this brightness is really enough to make people feel "bright", because the advantages of G3 are very obvious in some slightly dark days.

The physical resolution of nut G3 is 1280 * 800, which is also the mainstream resolution level at the current price. Although you can feel a certain sense of graininess from a close view, objectively speaking, if you observe closely enough, even the LCD TV that we usually think has a very delicate picture will have a clear sense of graininess. After all, the images projected by the projector are kept at a certain distance. From this perspective, the effect is very good. General details can be clearly displayed.

When we place the projector on a different plane, resulting in the change of its elevation angle, which further leads to the picture being up and down trapezoid, the vertical trapezoid correction function of G3 can be used. Moreover, this function has two ways of automatic adjustment and manual adjustment, which can be adjusted conveniently and quickly. Unfortunately, the nut G3 does not support the adjustment of the left and right trapezoids, which means that the projector can only project directly against the wall or screen. Let's assume that if a couple wants to watch a movie together in bed, there must be a projector between them, which is very unpleasant! Whoever uses it knows.

As the saying goes, no matter how good the play is without sound, it can't come out. The sound G3 has brought me a lot of surprises. Although the official description of the sound quality is HIFI sound quality, the author was skeptical about whether it can make high-quality speakers under such a small volume limit before use. However, until the actual use, I didn't know that the effect is really not blowing. The sound is thick and qualitative, At the same time, G3 has a very good stereo effect because of the symmetrical design of two speakers.

Finally, it may be too common. What I haven't seen in other evaluations is that nut G3 also supports the output of Bluetooth signals. Before this, I was worried because there was a baby at home. If I wanted to watch a movie at night, but I was afraid of disturbing the baby, wouldn't it be very difficult? Although you can plug in headphones to solve this problem, your viewing position and sitting posture will be greatly affected if you connect a line. With the Bluetooth function, you can enjoy the silent big screen feast freely.

Finally, the author evaluates all aspects of nut G3 through star rating, hoping to help everyone (Full score is five stars).

Appearance: five stars.

Content: Four stars.

System fluency: five stars.

Function: three and a half stars.

Picture: Four stars.

Sound quality: five stars.

In general, G3 is definitely the best nut at this price and worth buying.
