Great laser picture, work's great with lights on, no problems so far.

After spending a few weeks trying to give the Nomvdic L500 a fair chance, I can confidently say it’s one of the most misleading and disappointing projectors I’ve ever used.Despite being marketed as portable, it is far from it. The triple laser technology used in this projector is riddled with intense laser speckle, a grainy visual distortion that’s extremely noticeable even from a distance. This makes the L500 practically unusable on typical projector screens or walls. The only way to reduce the speckle is by using expensive ALR (ambient light rejecting) home theater screens, which defeats the whole point of portability.And even in a dedicated home theater setup, it fails miserably. Nomvdic advertises a wide Rec.2020 color gamut, but it doesn’t matter if the color accuracy is a mess. Reds are aggressively oversaturated, making every red tone look like neon. Yellows don’t display correctly, and no amount of tweaking in the settings can fix it. In SDR, content looks awful unless you force HDR with a Chromecast and then spend time manually dialing back saturation and tint just to make it look half-decent. Switching between SDR and HDR means you constantly have to adjust settings back and forth.Chromatic aberration is another major issue. This is caused by poor laser alignment inside the projector, resulting in a green and red halo effect around white text and high-contrast edges. At first, I thought I had a defective unit until I found out this is a known issue that affects all L500 units. It creates a distracting 3D-like outline around anything high-contrast.Audio is also a disaster. The projector lacks a headphone jack, leaving you stuck with either the weak built-in speaker or unreliable Bluetooth, both of which are terrible options. I tried using a USB-C to headphone jack adapter, but audio had noticeable delay and syncing issues with video. For anyone who prefers wired audio (like me), this is a dealbreaker.The fan noise is absurd. Laser projectors are supposed to be quiet, around 30 decibels, but this thing sounds like a jet engine, even though the unit stays ice cold to the touch, indicating poor thermal design or just plain bad engineering.Gaming is completely out of the question. There’s nearly 200ms of input delay, making gameplay feel sluggish and unresponsive. Even basic navigation in the menus is laggy and frustrating.And resolution? It doesn’t even look like proper 1080p. Compared to my other 1080p projectors, the L500 looks noticeably worse — soft, grainy, and with a strange static-like fuzz that makes even premium screens look cheap.To make matters worse, these aren’t just my issues. Many users have reported the same exact problems. And Nomvdic? Completely silent. The last trace of activity from the company was over a year ago. I emailed them, and all I received was an automated out-of-office reply, ironically dated over a year ago. Other users have had the same experience, with no follow-up or support. At this point, it’s fair to say the company has abandoned the product, and any hope of warranty or firmware support is practically nonexistent.Conclusion:The Nomvdic L500 is not considered a projector this is just a miscellaneous toy meant to carry a title which it is, it feels incredibly rushed and poorly executed. Even for $400 I can find way better projectors for half the priceUpdate: they lowered the price to 200. Still not worth it, avoid it, it's a really bad projector Even for 99

Por el rango de precio no esta mal. Pero el input lag es inutilizable para cualquier cosa que requiera control inmediato. En mis conteos me llego a dar hasta 180 ms en hdmi y hasta 300 en usb c.La resolucion tambien se siente como un 720 mas que un 1080

While looks nice in dark, but impossible to read what is on the screen in daylightSent an email to support asking why wireless connect would not connect, have no troubles to cast screen to 5 years old TV, but wasn't able to cast on projector. More than a week and no responses, this is alarming if such expensive item fails, no support at all, sent this back.

The product was removed and relisted - this is my previous review. Just one more thing - this new one says 2500 lumens. NO WAY! Absolutely false advertising.--This is a bit technical but I had pretty high hopes for this little projector. Unfortunately there are some show-stopping issues and I'm not sure if they can be fixed by firmware updates.Positives:- Visually brighter than expected- Colors are very vibrant - oversaturated and do need to be brought down for SDR content unfortunately if using the standard saturation control some colors become undersaturated due to the lack of CMS- Lightweight and small- Interesting design- Doesn't spew out a ton of heat- Can focus extremely close - within ~2ft- Auto keystone works fairly well- Minimal RBE- HDMI CEC- Decent audio for a projector- Backlit remote- Good contrast at this level - I measured about 950:1 native and 176:1 ANSI in Movie mode (the most accurate) in a blacked out theater - in a bright painted room this will be much lower of course- OK brightness but not quite up to the spec measured at about 450-500 lumensNeutral:- Brightness uniformity: 76%- Autofocus works well for walls - not so much for screens in a dark room- Lens quality seems OK for this DMD- 2 point WB controls (better than nothing)Negatives:- No response from customer support in over a week- Laser speckle, lots of laser speckle on painted wall - much better on 1.1 gain white screen- Resolution - it does not look anything like 1080p to me.. It looks closer to 720p due to the pixel shift nature (540p native DMD shifted 4x to get 1080p)- It is loud on full laser power - it is less loud on eco but still not very quiet - I feel like the fan is running too fast as the heat being exhausted is minimal- Motion handling- XPR noise is audible but the fan is louder- A lot of chromatic aberration but it's pretty balanced so it's not super noticeable at a distance- No CMS adjustments- Color problems like bright yellow turning green it can be fixed by using tint but then the other colors will be off like red will turn pink - this could be solved with a CMS to adjust each colors tint individually- Very high input lag (tested at 133ms)- Does not handle 24p properly even with MEMC enabled (3:2 pulldown judder)- MEMC artifacts make the feature unusable- Noticeable posterization- Extremely prominent noise in low IRE fields (5, 10)- Prominent texture/noise in solid colors- When an HDR video plays it always switched to TV instead of the last used mode- Colors on startup look different when HDMI is auto-selected on startup - have to go back to the home screen then go to HDMI and the colors are consistent again- Sometimes the color/saturation adjustments will jump all over the place and have to reset the projector to get them to work properly again- Cannot power over USB-C like the Optoma ML1080Edit: They did respond - will see how things change going forward. I will update this review if/when they fix the issues.Edit 2: Unfortunately coming up on two months in and they haven't addressed any of the issues nor have they said anything would be fixed - just keep replying with the same response: "They're looking into it". I have also offered to talk with them over the phone but they didn't schedule anything and they don't have a phone number to call.I think this projector is fairly likely to be a lost cause. Seems like they just wanted to cash out and move on to the next product. I've seen this before in other companies. What a waste of a potentially good product. I have updated to 1 star.Edit 3:After numerous emails to them - no more responses. Do not expect them to honor their warranty if something goes wrong.Edit 4:I read another review that mentioned it didn't seem like it had a high latency but this is straight from Nomvdic themselves - I also measured it with a buddies Leo Bodnar and it ranges from 130ms to about 170ms. Either that L500 is special or they just aren't sensitive to higher latency - and that's fine.From Nomvdic:"The L500 has a maximum input lag of 176ms. You can refer to the user guide for more information."Unfortunately the user guide doesn't mention the input lag but this was in an email from Nomvdic.Another quote from them:"As for the extreme noise in low grey brightness areas, we acknowledge that this is a feature limitation for L500"

It's got a great clear picture with very vibrant colors you won't get from a lower budget LED projector but I do notice very tiny dots when right close to the screen. We are talking like blown up to about 180 inches. You don't see the dots over 6 ft from the screen. It has surprising sound quality for a tiny projector. Bluetooth to external speakers work. easy to square the edges to fit and decent auto features that I disabled cause I like to be in control. For the Black Friday price, I would rather have this than any LED under 400. It has an almost perfect picture. It does not compete in the same category of say 1,500 to 2500 projectors in brightness, or 4k. It is watchable in a lit up room and would be great for a budget theater room or being very portable. Awkward shape looks like some sort of tooth product. Even though it is not my favorite, I will hold on to it cause it's top of the line for it's price range. This manufacturer does have step ups that are 4k which I also bought black Friday.
