X2 Max: New and compact Full HD projector with a small price tag
The X2 Max is a new and compact projector with high resolution and a smart system, so an external player does not need to be used. As usual for compact projectors, brightness is an issue.
Wanbo is offering a new LED projector, the X2 Max. This is a compact model that should be easy to transport. The dimensions are specified as 22.5 x 17.7 x 9.4 centimeters and the weight as just 1.53 kilograms. Power consumption is estimated at up to 65 watts. The LED light source is said to have a long service life, namely up to 20,000 hours. The projector itself is said to emit a maximum of 35 dB.
An image between 40 and 120 inches in size can be projected, requiring a distance of 1.2 or 3.6 meters between the projector and the screen/projection surface. However, users and potential buyers should bear in mind the nominally low brightness of 450 ANSI lumens, which is typical for compact LED projectors and makes a dark environment essential. According to Wanbo, the projector can natively reproduce material in 1080p, which is quite decent considering the low price. Keystone correction and autofocus are also available.
A sound system with a total output of 10 watts is installed. Other features include WiFi 6 in the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands and Bluetooth 5.0. Android 9 is installed and allows for the playback of compatible material without an external player, such as from Netflix or YouTube. In terms of connectivity, two HDMI ports are available, plus USB 1 and a jack socket. The Wanbo X2 Max is available from direct importers at a price of around $210.

I have been active as a journalist for over 10 years, most of it in the field of technology. I worked for Tom’s Hardware and ComputerBase, among others, and have been working for Notebookcheck since 2017. My current focus is particularly on mini PCs and single-board computers such as the Raspberry Pi – so in other words, compact systems with a lot of potential. In addition, I have a soft spot for all kinds of wearables, especially smartwatches. My main profession is as a laboratory engineer, which is why neither scientific contexts nor the interpretation of complex measurements are foreign to me.

Growing up in regional Australia, I first became acquainted with computers in my early teens after a broken leg from a football (soccer) match temporarily condemned me to a predominately indoor lifestyle. Soon afterwards I was building my own systems. Now I live in Germany, having moved here in 2014, where I study philosophy and anthropology. I am particularly fascinated by how computer technology has fundamentally and dramatically reshaped human culture, and how it continues to do so.
