Not long ago, with a grand press conference, Jimi Technology brought us three smart projectors: Aurora RS Pro, H3 and Z8X, Love to play computer games We almost got these products at the first time, and carried out RS Pro Relevant evaluation ， The 4K resolution, appearance and sound quality left us a deep impression.
But on the contrary, the extremely smart projection H3 is more interesting to me because of its exquisite body design, more affordable price, and the same extraordinary internal strength. How does this projector perform in the living room?
Theater watching: immersive
As a projector, the appearance is the first. Even if the appearance is high, if the projected picture is not satisfactory, it is useless. In the days when I used the Jimi H3, its picture performance is the most impressive.
First of all, the brightness of the polar meter H3 is very high. Officially, it has a brightness of 1900 ANSI lumens, which is sufficient for a household projector. As can be seen from its data introduction, the reason why this brightness value can be achieved is that the polar meter H3 adopts a new optical structure, RGB+B four channel optical path design, and 20A large current upgrade, which achieves excellent results.
Basically, no matter what time period, the Jimi H3 can meet the demand for viewing. Even if the curtains are opened in the daytime, it is also a "can see" level. Some other brands of projection equipment have been used before, many of them are "see light die", but the Jimi H3 does not.
Live pictures:
In addition to the brightness, its overall picture expressive force is also very excellent, and the impression is good. When watching some colorful movies, its high saturation and high contrast are very pleasing to the eye, with clear layers, and will not be mixed together. When watching action blockbusters, I feel the same way. Whether it's the decisive moment or the shooting, the Jimi H3 can handle these scenes very well.
In addition, with the help of the X-VUE image quality engine of Jimi, it can enrich the details and make the colors more realistic, and can also reduce the noise of different pictures. If you are a user who often watches sports events, the MEMC motion compensation algorithm of Jimi can greatly improve the viewing experience. After the optimization of the compensation algorithm, the high-speed sports images of soccer and basketball will become very smooth, and the eyes will not look so tired.
Although the resolution of the polar meter H3 is the traditional full HD, you may think that it is a pity not to have 4K, but I personally think that an excellent 1080p is enough to satisfy your criticism of the picture quality, and the film source is also very important. Moreover, if it is really necessary to achieve high resolution, there are also aurora RS Pro options.
Another important reason why I was able to immerse myself is that the sound system is still built by Harman/Kardon. The volume of the sound chamber is 330cc, which is much improved compared with the previous generation. When watching the movie, you can clearly feel that its low frequency is more sensible. After the built-in movie mode of the system is turned on, the bullet shuttle, fire, high-rise collapse and other scenes in the gunfight movie of the Jimi H3 are also rendered very well. Even if you don't have to watch a movie, you can use it to listen to Music.
Exterior: small and delicate
Of course, as a device that needs to be placed in a more prominent position for a long time, the appearance design of the Jimi H3 is satisfactory. At first glance, it can give people a more high-end feeling. It not only looks good, but also feels high-end（ Metal material ）Although he does not often touch the projector, if someone does, he will not be disappointed.
The top is a pure black color, and the logo is printed on the top.
4 keys（ The volume increase/decrease and play keys are touch keys, and the power switch is a physical key ）The operation will be more intuitive at ordinary times.
The huge lens module looks intense.
It is also equipped with an eagle eye perception system composed of ToF and CMOS lenses. Above it is the logo of Harman/Kardon, which looks very classy.
Audio interface, optical fiber interface, USB 2.0 × 2 HDMI 1（ With ARC ）、 HDMI 2、 Ethernet interface and power interface. There are objective heat dissipation openings above them.
No matter where it is placed in the living room, it will not be abrupt. At the same time, the compact body design will not take up special space. It only needs to be placed on a small table next to the sofa to open the "enjoy" mode. After all, today's big cities have a lot of money, and the huge projectors are not suitable for placing in a compact space. Of course, If you are a user living in a luxury villa, let's say something else.
Use: It's so simple
An important reason why many people resist using projectors is trouble.
It is true that positioning, rectification, focusing and other steps have certain learning costs, but the use of the polar meter H3 is not so cumbersome. First of all, the eagle eye perception system mentioned above has brought two very practical functions: global sensorless focusing and full-automatic trapezoidal correction.
It is measured that the auto focusing speed is very fast, and there is no need for manual operation. It is convenient for both playback and use.
There is also a dial button on the top of the remote control. After you dial FOCUS, the Jimi H3 will automatically focus once. At the same time, you can also use the volume up and down buttons to focus manually.
In the setting, the full-automatic trapezoidal correction is enabled by default. As long as you move the polar meter H3, it will start to perform automatic correction. It is a fool like operation, and it is not difficult to get started.
Stepless zoom, you can adjust the size of the projection area.
With automatic trapezoidal correction, you can automatically adjust the squareness of the image no matter how you put it in. If you are an "obsessive-compulsive patient", you can also use manual correction, which can also achieve a more perfect projection effect.
System: Enough functions and rich resources
The Jimi H3 runs the GMUI 3.5 system, with high-performance CPU and GPU. It is very smooth in daily use, without any jam. At the same time, it can also decode 4K video.
In October, GMUI will be updated to 3.6 system, which will also have more functions, such as "any door", turning any part of the home into a beautiful gallery; As well as the more powerful Children's Mode 2.0, and the number of content platforms will also increase to more than a dozen, there will be more than 300 courses in total, more than 150000 hours of 4K content, and more than 600000 karaoke tracks, which will be further improved on the basis of the original ease of use.
Jimi AI voice interaction is also a very practical function. Press the voice button on the remote control to give voice commands.
It's easy to search for movies, music, and even ask about the weather.
In addition, in terms of content ecology, there is no need to worry. Aiqiyi, Tencent, Youku, Bilibili and other platforms can be used on Jimi H3. There are all kinds of movie variety music. Worried about children's inappropriate content? GMUI has a built-in child mode, which can filter out the content that is not suitable for children.
Feeling after a period of use
As a relatively small household projector, the Jimi H3 can satisfy me and even exceed my expectations. First of all, its picture quality and sound quality are excellent. Whether dealing with all kinds of movies or listening to songs everyday, the Jimi H3 is familiar. For the projector, these two indicators can be said to be crucial.
In addition, the user experience of this projector is very good. Power on, auto focus, and automatic trapezoid correction can basically start to work normally. Even people who have never used the projection equipment should only need a few minutes to play with the Jimi H3, and its functions are very complete, as well as its content ecology is very rich. If you like movies and pursue large screens, but do not want to spend too much money, then I believe that Jimi H3 can meet your needs in many ways.
I thought that if I wanted to get a very good viewing experience, I had to empty my wallet to do it, but later I gradually found that this was not the case. During the days when I used the Jimi H3, I did not miss the expensive 4K TV at home very much, but felt that this projector was enough.
