"Looks great with next to no lag. ... playing PS5."
"My ps5 pro,pc,4k and br player look amazing. ... Dv and HDR seem as good as my tv (tcl 625 miniled which had a good implementation of it). No issue either with streaming app on google tv."
"But the gaming experience is by far one of the best!"

"In any case the Valerion with the black levels and tone mapping comes out ahead. ... Valerians secret sauce is the software which to this point has not been matched. ... The software which is the real secret sauce is done by Valerian ie: Tonemapping and EBL. You do know that right? That is the difference and it's big."
"I m impressed by the color mapping, brightness ,contrast and sharpness, its super sharp even if its currently keystoned to hell while i m waiting for some brackets."

"The internal speakers are surprisingly good. ... It worked for sure, and was very comfortable for watching content ... I wouldn’t feel the need to rush into buying an audio solution right away after getting your projector if you go with a Valerion."

"The LS12000 has over 2x the native contrast of the Valerion. ... The native is not meaningless, that's silly. Native CR is the foundation of the entire image capability. Dynamic CR doesn’t always work or help and it can also cause artifacts and issues like clipping and brightness jumps. Some scenes it improves greatly, some only a small amount, and some not at all. It all depends on the composition of the particular scene. Native still always limits simultaneous on screen contrast for an given image. ... There are scenes that look better on the LS12000 due to the noticeably higher native CR."
"LS12000 has 5000:1 native contrast (25k:1 dynamic) vs the Valerion 2000:1 native (10k:1 dynamic)."
"Models like the Valerion Pro are solid enough and give good viewing, but they will suffer, as all projectors do, in any type of ambient light."

"Tbf if you only consume non subtitle dark content then maybe Valerion ebl will be the better choice for you."

"Any of these not have RBE? I have the Valerion and the RBE is very pronounced. ... I seem to be very sensitive to RBE so for me it's bad, like unwatchable bad on some media."

"they’re subject to ... RBE. ... RGB laser light tends to be better, but still shows up in very dark scenes with super bright highlights, during fast motion."

"It also has no rainbow effect while the Valerion has quite a bit. ... RBE is not really able to be mitigated. Some modes lessen the strength of the effect, but not eliminate it. I have seen one of these and the RBE is still quite high even in the mode that has it the lowest. ... I’m a perfect example. I see RBE always on any 1-chip and it bothers me to no end."
DiabolicGambit 1.0You would be better off giving them a purchase list of what you want. Then having then source it and install it..
Too much unknown here. This is the core system
Sony STRAZ1000ES Premium ES 7.2 CH 8K A/V Receiver
Sony BRAVIA Projector 7 - 4K HDR Laser Home Theater Projector with Native 4K SXRD Panel (VPL-XW5100ES), Black
Reval speakers :
W553L- LCR and
W383- sourounds
1 svs pb2000 sub 1 3m passive radiator
Core equipment price is 15,000usd
Not bad.. but you can do way better.
You would be better off with an az7000es reciever. (3500usd) <13 powered channels> And a klipsch suit of R-5502-W II in-walls for your 7 channal bed layer.. <1400usd> then CDT-5800-C II <1000usd> for your atmos.. and that Projector is over priced for the specs.
Valerian VisionMaster Pro 4K RGB is an all around better Projector for 1/3 the cost.. <3000usd>
Also klipsch rp1600sw x2 <3600usd> will set you back about double the cost of the svs but will provide considerably more ULF and LF and have better warentees <5 years drover and amp>
Core Equipment for 7.2.6 system all in 12,000usd these are msrp prices and most of this can be sourced considerably less
Itchy-Drawing 1.0Great points! I've personally been really happy with Valerion Vision Master Pro for creating that immersive, big-screen experience at home. It definitely delivers on the cinematic vibe in my controlled lighting space.
Pi-Maniac 1.0Take a look at the Valerion Visionmaster Pro it's awesome for gaming.
Repulsive-Currency32 1.0You're welcome. As for projectors the new Xgimi 20 series looks perfect... Mechanical zoom and lense shift and should basically fill as big a screen as you can fit in that space if you mount it right up close to the wall opposite the screen. I've got a Visionmaster Pro and wish id held out for a little longer - the xgimi looks like it's copied their best features and in a nicer looking package
amirrehman 0.1Using the Valerion Pro for the last 10 months and its amazing. Everything is so crisp. When I'm watching TV or sports (not movies), I don’t even turn off the room lights. For the best experience - like a home theater - I dim the lights only when watching movies. This is my first big projector, so I can’t comment on the others you mentioned, but if you go with the Valerion, you won’t be disappointed!
AV_Integrated 0.1The main advantage of a projector is size. You can get a 135" diagonal from a projector, which no TV that's affordable can possibly deliver. At 100" diagonal, TVs are the way to go most of the time. If your space supports it, just get a decent TV. Models like the Valerion Pro are solid enough and give good viewing, but they will suffer, as all projectors do, in any type of ambient light. I'm working with someone who will end up doing a 135" setup for his theater specific space, but will also have a couple of 100" displays in the rest of his basement for viewing in different areas.
Lifestyle models are basically taking over the home theater market in that price range. But, there are models which absolutely trash the old home theater models. Xgimi with their Horizon 20, the Valerion Visionmaster models, the Nexigo Trivision Ultra. These are all a different box around the projector, but the image quality they are delivering is really exceptional. Yeah, I've had issues with the format as well, but it is what the industry is doing at this point. More lifestyle models, less home theater specific models. The BenQ HT2060 is a solid 1080p LED projector, but for the money, there is just no chance I would purchase it.
Awkward-Comedian2813 0.1The Valerion Pro Master will give you deeper blacks esp in Dolby Vision espwith their Enhanced Black Level switch . Ceiling projection ? Not sure about that however . Also the JMGO N1S Ultimate for searing brights and color volume . Triple Laser and the fastest Keystone and Focus Adjustments available . An eye popping projector pleaser if there was one .
EmersonBrady 0.1You could check out the Valerion Pro (not pro 2) which is sometimes on sale on eBay as “used” while on fact it is brand new. Awesome device.
Few-Sound-7992 0.1It’s half the price and gets the job done Laser and 4k Now the valerian pro is an amazing machine Specially if you’re into 3D
Itsbryceyall 0.1I’d go with the Valerion Pro over the base and Nexigo, for the contrast mostly. But I really enjoyed the Nexigo - seems like one of the best values, currently.
