Tiong projector only got a few legit brands like xgimi, jmgo, Xiaomi.
Buy projector is got a lot of specs need to look into like lumens, contrast ratio, dynamic ratio, native resolution, keystone, colour reproduction, autofocus, throw distance, fringing and chromatic aberration of lens etc.
Any projector not from the major brands I mentioned above are likely OEM crap and Lumos falls under the crap category no matter how they claim to be different from the rest.
A good amdk/jipun brand like Epson, canon, viewsonic etc. even at lower native resolution can outshine OEM tiong crap advertising as 1080p native (which is most likely upscaled reso and falsely marketed as native). That's why they cost thousands and used in professional settings.
Too late bought a wanbo. Heng it is android 9 though.

Thought they use dithering techniques to increase resolution.

Do note that LUMOS Auro cannot support WIFI 5GHz (7/7/2022).

i just asked them via facebook chat support.


Edit: Just checked on my router setting, new Singnet routers comes with either set to 5GHz or 2.4GHz but cant use interchangeable.

I using lumos for 2 year plus already. So far I find it ok, daytime maybe not so sharp but night time it is enough for me. Price wise it is reasonable
Will look to try better brand if it spoils but it haven spoil yet

xgimi devices are not cleared by Netflix certification or something :

there are workarounds though
