DBPower RD-810 Portable LED Projector Review

When most people think of home entertainment, they think of an expensive flat-screen TV and surround-sound speakers. For watching movies or TV shows, this kind of setup is enough to create a very immersive viewing experience. Yet, even the most sophisticated of TVs can’t quite give you the cinema-quality feel you’d get from a trip to the movies, and for a long time it wasn’t possible to recreate such an experience in the home.

However, nowadays you can watch your favorite Hollywood blockbusters the same way you’d watch them at the theater without leaving your couch. There are tons of options available for portable projectors that are powerful enough to make you feel like you’re really a part of the action.

They can usually handle media from a variety of sources like smartphones, laptops, DVD players and gaming systems, and enable users to adjust the projection image so that it fits their living space. The best part is they won’t break the bank and, for those who typically head to a movie theater for entertainment, could theoretically pay for themselves.

Of course, just like any piece of home entertainment gear, not all portable projectors are created equal. Some may yield a low or average image quality and might not be compatible with many media formats, while others can project in incredibly high resolutions and play just about anything. Considering that there are so many choices on the market today, it pays to do a little bit of research on a projector before adding it to your living space.

In this breakdown we’ll be looking at the newly releasedDBPower RD-810 LED Portable Projector看看它是否真的可以与其他类似的投影仪对抗。我们将重点介绍设计,兼容性,规格,可能具有的任何特殊功能,图像质量以及其中包含的任何弊端,以查看该投影仪是否真的可以重新创建真实的电影体验。

Design

The DBPower RD-810 has a sleek, simple design, and appeared well-made. It also definitely has the kind of dimensions that make it very portable. It comes in either white or black, measures in at 6 x 8.2 x 2.6 inches and weighs just 2.18 pounds. To give you an idea of just how portable it is, you could likely fit it in one hand if you needed to move it from one end of the room to the other.

布局也非常基本和直观。在投影仪的前部,您只会发现我们假设安装的镜头和小型棋盘式通风孔,以防止过热。顶部同样简单。它包含一个表盘,以调整焦点以及基石校正,DB Power徽标以及带有LED灯的清晰标记的电源按钮。当然,外面没有很多铃铛和哨子,但是我们发现这增加了更高的便利性,主要是因为这意味着它不会混淆或难以设置。

Most of the exciting components could be found on the back panel. You’ll find a ton of different connection ports, including a USB port, an HDMI port, a headphone jack, an AV plug, an infrared LED and last but not least, a VGA port. There’s also a power switch as well as a plug to insert the power cord. Just by looking at the connection ports alone, we were really impressed by the amount of versatility it seemed to have. There wasn’t much we could think of that couldn’t connect to it.

It’s worth mentioning that the bottom of the projector has five, short rubber feet that keep it from sliding when you place it on smooth surfaces like cabinets or shelves. The only thing we thought was missing was a built-in stand. Many similar projectors have small, adjustable stands built into the bottom portion that allow users to change the projection angle. You could put something under the projector if you really wanted to aim it higher, but it would likely reduce stability. It was only a minor downside, but we still would have liked to see some type of built-in support.

Compatibility

The DBPower RD-810 is outstanding when it comes to compatibility. Not only can it be used to play movies and view photos, but it can do so from a variety of different media players due to the large amount of ports on the back of the device. Specifically, the ports allow you to project media from smartphones, HD set-top boxes, laptops, USB drives, gaming consoles like the Xbox 360 or Playstation 4, computers and tablets.

Specifications and Features

The DBPower RD-810 had some impressive specifications, but didn’t totally blow us away with anything out of the ordinary. It has a brightness of 1200 lumens which, for the price, is acceptable, but there are certainly more expensive, more powerful projectors available.

It boasts a contrast ratio of 1000:1. For those that don’t know what contrast ratio means, it denotes the ratio of light reflected from a solid white image to a solid black image. In the case of the DBPower RD-810, the white images will be 1000 times brighter than the black images. Again, this capability was good considering the price, but other, more expensive projectors can have contrast ratios of up 10,000:1.

It has a native resolution of 800 x 400 pixels and a supported resolution of up to 1920 x 1080p. This maximum resolution won’t make much of a difference if you’re trying to watch any video files with a 4K image resolution, but for most standard HD videos it’ll do just fine.

在调整图像的形状时,您会发现投影仪具有PLUS或负15度的手动键石校正。这本质上是指您可以调整图像形状以适合投影表面的数量。例如,如果投影图像不是完美的矩形,则需要使用Keystone调整。它还可以在距离您所需的投影表面1.5-5米之间的任何位置投射,并且可调节的屏幕尺寸在20-150英寸之间。

The projector also comes with a remote that was basic, clearly labeled and easy to use. It was a nice addition, and almost didn’t feel totally necessary if you think you’ll be mostly playing media off of a phone, tablet or DVD player that already has a control of its own. Still, for turning the projector on and off, it did make things a bit more convenient, especially if you plan on mounting it somewhere far away from your viewing area.

根据其规格和功能,我们发现DBPower RD-810是一种可以在中型到大房间中运行的投影仪。Keystone校正功能使具有大量不同形状的投影表面变得容易。

Video Quality

Like most portable projectors, the image quality of the DBPower RD-810 is impressive, but could also be affected by the kind of environment in which you use it. It is capable of projecting in resolutions of up to 1920x1080p, and the projected image had a lot of sharpness and detail with very little distortion. We found that by using a more high-quality HDMI or USB cable, we got significantly crisper images and better projection.

有时有些颜色有时会有些沉闷,但这实际上取决于房间里的光芒。在极度黑暗的环境中,投影仪产生了惊人的色谱,使所得图像的外观明显更明亮,更清晰。您还需要将投影仪保持在1.5米至5米的建议范围内;除此之外,您将开始看到更平坦,更柔和的图像,而细节较少。

缺点

Despite being relatively well-made and having some useful features, the DBPower RD-810 did have a few downsides. First of all, it doesn’t support Dolby Digital. If you try to connect something like your Apple TV, Firestick, or a Blu-Ray player that uses Dolby, you won’t get any sound at all and will have to turn Dolby off in order to play the audio.

It wasn’t a huge issue, especially since there was a headphone jack that you could technically plug a small speaker into for better sound. It just would have been more convenient for the projector to be able to handle Dolby even if there was only one built-in speaker.

We also really would have liked for there to be an included stand. The way the projector is set up only allows you to project images horizontally unless you prop it up somehow. Had there been a small adjustable stand, it would have made it easier to adjust the projector for a truly customized viewing experience. Many similar projectors have a component like this and we were a little bit let down to not find one.

DBPower RD-810

Final Thoughts

TheDBPower RD-810当然是一个强大的投影仪和v之际,ery affordable price. We found the compatibility to be excellent, the video quality to be sharp given the right conditions, and the design to be sleek and portable. It does have a few limitations when it comes to audio, and if you really want great sound you may have to purchase an external speaker, but luckily there is a headphone jack built in.

All in all, it isn’t the kind of projector you’ll want to use if you’re planning an important presentation. However, for the average gamer, movie or TV buff on a budget, it’s definitely worth considering.
