All the viewing angles

The Wanbo Vali 1 boasts a integrated flexible stand that rotates through a full 200° range. Users can pivot the image onto walls, ceilings and dedicated projector screens. Complemented by ±30° auto-keystone correction, it instantly straightens any image in a few seconds, making projection alignment effortless.

Whether it’s transforming a blank ceiling into a star-studded night scene or shifting from lounge based gaming to a movie night in your bedroom, the Wanbo Vali 1 allows you to enjoy your TV, movies and gaming with no mounting or manual set up required.

Double the brightness

With 900 ANSI lumens – almost double the amount of rivals, the Wanbo Vali 1 delivers vivid and vibrant visuals even in brightly lit daytime rooms. Paired with native 1080p resolution, detail pops with exceptional clarity, enabling easy viewing without the need to dim lights.

Stereo sound

A built-in pair of 6W full-range stereo speakers ensures punchy audio, creating an immersive soundstage that matches the picture quality. A headphone socket allows you to connect headphones or an external speaker.

All your favourite apps

Powered by Android 11, Wanbo Vali 1 grants easy access to over 7,000 Google Play apps including Netflix, YouTube, Disney+, HBO Max, and many more. Official Netflix certification ensures reliable, high-quality playback.

Integrated Google Assistant allows voice control hands-free, while Chromecast built-in makes wireless screen mirroring easy. A dedicated remote is included with one touch access to key streaming services.

Smart AI set up

The Wanbo Vali 1’s ASA 3.0 (Auto‑Focus + Keystone + ScreenFit + Obstacle‑Avoidance) is an intelligent projection assistant. It detects the screen’s boundaries, focuses sharply, squares the image and notes interference automatically. The advanced level of automation enables stress-free set-up across different surfaces and angles.

Quiet cooling

A standout among compact projectors, the Wanbo Vali 1 features Wanbo’s largest cooling fan to date (10 cm diameter, 3.3 cm height), optimised to maintain quiet operation at all times.

Compact Design

The power socket is mounted directly on the gimbal bracket rather than the projector, eliminating cable clutter and offers unrestricted viewing movement. Multiple mounting options including ceiling, wall, stand and bracket are supported.

Game mode and ambient art walls

For gamers, the Game Mode activates low latency and high refresh responsiveness. Artistic Ambient Wall mode casts ambient visuals (think tranquil ocean waves or starfield animations) transforming any space into a living art canvas

Tech Review – Wanbo-X2 Max projector

I have several projectors at home and love them all and are one of my favourite pieces of tech to review and enjoy watching my content on. Wanbo have sent us their latest on offer which is the Wanbo-X2 Max projector packed with features, the spec sheet looks good but it is all down to how it comes across for your viewing that counts and we will be taking a close look at this model, one of several the company has on offer at affordable prices.

With this projector you can do many things with and feel more immersed with the bigger picture so to speak and not only that you get big sound which is great, some projectors dish out poor sound but not this one it is loud and punchy with some nice bass in there no distortion or lag latency either noted during testing.

The picture though is what people like to know about these projectors and the picture is good on this no matter what you may use it for, it can be used for gaming watching movies and much more and you can of course cast from your device and hook up your laptop and consoles to see things in all their glory.

The quality is decent even on a darker wall I tried out and came out good overall we have native 1080p present and 450 ANSI which gives a brighter video to watch unlike 720p would in a projector. Some say you would need over 1000 lumens or ANSI to get a better picture which is a fair comment it all depends on how good you want the quality to be but as you will see in the video review below 450 is plenty for simple home use.

This projector has an AI image engine and auto focus and 4 points keystone correction again often left out from previous ones I have review at this price and it works well here and perfect if you have no idea spot to place or mount the projector you can still get the picture square on a wall even if not place directly in front of it.

How big you want the picture also depends on you and the closer the better quality which is obvious but there is three noted focal lengths or screen sizes from 50 120 inches which is ideal and of course you need to try out the 120 inch, if you have a white background of projector screen you will get better results too but this can be projected onto blinds or a darker wall and the picture comes through and not seeing pixels from the desired distance.

Wanbo-X2 specs

The UI is simple to use and navigate and there is tonnes of preloaded apps there is some restrictions as always with projectors but you can get around these easily enough with the know how or just ask someone who does. The noise is also not too loud as some can be from projectors and is tolerable when in use and if you turn your volume up like you should there will be no fan noise to worry about. To top it off you can also use this as a general music player/speaker by simply connecting your device and it has decently loud 2X5W speakers and finally Dual Band 6 Wi-Fi as mentioned above so no lag latency seen during my use so far.

One small gripe for me is the power cable is a bit on the short side.
