Valerion
VisionMaster Pro 2
Great picture/gaming, but RBE and no lens shift are dealbreakers.

Running these analyses costs money. Buy through my links to help keep lights on! I may get a small commission.
This video convinced me to buy the Valerion Pro 2. Espc. coz there’s a bundle deal going on their website ; matte white screen, ceiling mount and pro 2 for $3099. I do hope the screen is of good quality though. They didnt mention a name :/
I was in a similar hunt to yours till recently. I just bought the Valerion Vision master Pro 2 bundle on Amazon for $2699 (w/mount, 3d glasses, hdmi cable). Picture quality is great and I’m just projecting on a white wall now! Watch the hook up guys YouTube video on it for a detailed review
I was debating the same thing and ended up with the Valerion Vision Master Pro 2. It’s great. Watch the Hook Up guys review on YouTube. That sold me.
Have done a fair bit of digging and narrowed it down to the below: Hisense C2 Pro (Didn’t see any great advantages in the ultra, picture-quality wise. But this one has the rainbow effect, so not sure either) Epson 5050UB (bit concerned since it’s an old model and lamp based) BenQ TK710 (dunno if this is in the same league as the above players) Which one would you recommend? Ideally trying to keep it below $2000 USD and open to more recommendations too. What do I prefer: Wide color gamut. Rich contrast, sharp and clear picture. No rainbow effect, if possible. Not prioritizing super brightness since room has zero ambient light. Ok with “non-native” 4K. Usage: 90% movies. 10% gaming Room: Dedicated room, no ambient light. 15 ft from projector to wall. Can buy ALR screen. Ideally want 120” or more. 5.1.2 sound.
UPDATE: I ended up buying the Valerion Vision master pro 2! Ceiling mount, 3d glasses, hdmi cable and the projector for USD 2699 felt like a deal I couldn’t miss! Right now, just projecting on a white wall and even that looks great lol have to paint the room and get some speakers and a matte white screen (also discovered I’m sensitive to RBE fml)
I have a 135" woven acoustic from silver ticket for my visionmaster pro2 and love it. Picture still looks great with ambient light.
Yeah with any projector a lot of ambient light will reduce the contrast but it doesnt completely wash it out.
In my opinion theyre very good. Especially if you have dark walls or curtains you can pull to avoid light reflection. If you really care that much about super deep blacks an oled might be your best bet. With good light control and dark walls projectors are awesome but they arent going to be as dark as an OLED.
Theres a sale on the Valerions right now. Multiple packages of projectors, screens, audio systems. Just depends on your price point
Just got a Valerion. Ive been watching "the hook up" on youtube and hes done thorough tests and disagrees. What is bad about the valerion for the price?
I got the pro 2 which was 3k and came with a screen. But I see. The only thing I’ve noticed is speckle. And that’s only when I’m on YouTube. I don’t really use subtitles.
This is in the Valerion ? Fuck i just bought one
Yep. I have the Valerion VisionMaster Pro2 but I will be moving to the Noir Max for lense shift with the added bonus of much lower 4k 60 input lag when gaming.
I would recommend watching some YouTube videos by TheHookup. Generally in the price range you’re looking at it’s hard to beat the Valerion, but if you go that route you need to be aware of screen material because non fresnel ALR screens result in laser speckle. https://youtu.be/F6mFV7XQC3o?si=Ohb3F—GpyDk8jOW
I have a dedicated space with a 5.2.4 setup and was looking to get something more immersive than my 77in g3 for movies but also be good for some gaming (PC hooked up via HDMI). Ive been absolutely blown away by my Valerion Vision Pro 2. I haven't owned any other projectors so im sure some of the other really smart people here can recommend something, but just my personal opinion is that the Valerian Pro is really nice!

Budget king, durable with good image, but RBE can be distracting.
