2025 Mozart 1 Pro New

I just recently bought a wanbo Mozart 1 (2025 edition) on AliExpress straight from the dealer. I must say it’s very impressive, the package it very nice and feels very luxurious. It’s my first projector so I don’t have much to compare it with but I’m amazed on how good the picture is at 120 inch(almost to big for me anyway), especially in darker scenes. It had some trouble with very light scenes but I think that movie was to bright anyway, but I don’t know if that’s my screen making those problems(maybe someone knows?). It was relatively cheap, I got it for 4500 ish Swedish krona, had to add another 500 for transport. I watch it in a dark room and use it for movies and Netflix. I love it.

The X5 Pro is actually solid for \~300€ – 1100 ANSI lumens (real), Android TV with Netflix built-in, and quiet fan. The V1 Pro's 900 lumens claim is probably overblown. At 500€ total budget, you could grab the X5 Pro and have money left for a screen. Just know it needs a dark room, like all budget projectors. I [tested a bunch under £300 here](https://medium.com/@dejan-k/the-only-projectors-under-300-worth-buying-in-2026-9ff8ed3156db) – the X5 Pro is a noticeable step up from those.

In total darkness, both will look good. Vali's 200° gimbal is actually great for ceiling viewing. X5 Pro is still brighter (1100 vs 550-650 measured) and quieter (26dB vs 28dB). For €10 more, X5 Pro is the better projector. But honestly? In a dark room, you won't regret either. Flip a coin 😄

X5 Pro. Real brightness is 1100 ANSI (confirmed by multiple retailers). Vali 1 Pro claims 900 ANSI but independent testing measured around 550-650 in real world. That's a significant difference. Fan noise: X5 Pro is ≤26dB, Vali 1 Pro is ≤28dB. Both have Google TV with Netflix. For €10 more? X5 Pro wins.
