Description
Introducing the VAVA Chroma, an ultra short throw projector featuring triple laser technology, ALPD® 4.0, Alexa voice control, MEMC, 60W Harman Kardon Speakers and smart Android TV system.
Features
Rec.2020 superb color range
Most movie theaters use DCI-P3 in their projectors. However, the VAVA Chroma delivers 106% Rec.2020, covering the largest area of color space visible to the human eye, which means our newest projector has a higher level of color accuracy than what you see in the theaters.
Unparalleled dynamic contrast
VAVA Chroma’s powerful 1,500,000:1 dynamic contrast enhances your cinematic experience like nothing on the market. It far exceeds the standard 1,000,000:1 native contrast found in movie theaters.
Motion smoothing technology
By adding artificial frames between existing picture frames, MEMC enables videos to appear at a higher frame rate. The VAVA Chroma’s MEMC technology automatically recognizes dynamic pictures and inserts frames to ensure the motions you see are fluid and smooth.
Smart android system
The VAVA Chroma uses an Android 9.0 system and Aptoide app store, which means YouTube, Netflix, HBO, Hulu, Disney+, and more will be at your fingertips through the built-in OS. VAVA is also compatible with Apple TV, Nvidia, Chromecast, Fire TV, Roku TV, and more.
Built-in voice control
No more fumbling with on-screen keyboards — the VAVA Chroma features Alexa Voice Control. Navigate the built-in OS with ease by speaking directly into your remote. You can even control the smart appliances in your home through Chroma.

Dead Pixels Resurface 2Twice
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
My recent encounter with VAVA's Chroma Projector has regrettably unfolded into a disheartening narrative. Beyond the concerns of dead pixels emerging just months into usage and recurring after an initial replacement, another troubling aspect is the prolonged delays in providing a replacement.
The protracted waiting period for a replacement not only exacerbates the inconvenience but, more critically, squanders precious weeks of the customer warranty period. This delay, coupled with the existing product issues, reflects a lack of urgency and efficiency in VAVA's customer service processes.
As a consumer, this experience has left me with a sense of frustration and a perception of inefficiency in the company's approach to addressing product concerns. It is crucial for potential customers to consider not only the product's features but also the responsiveness and efficiency of the customer service, particularly when facing issues covered under warranty.
In sharing this comprehensive review, my intention is to provide a holistic view of the challenges I've encountered with VAVA's Chroma Projector. I sincerely hope that VAVA takes heed of these concerns and implements measures to streamline their customer service processes, ensuring timely replacements and a more satisfactory overall customer experience.

Not in it's Current State

In it's current state, I cannot recommend the Chroma. The company does not listen to it's backers/community about issues persistent with this device. They push off the issues and are extremely slow with rolling out new updates. The issues we're seeing -
-Colors need more improvement (although some has been improved of the months)
-Ghosting/Blur in Dark Scenes (loss of detail with moving action) (VAVA keeps insisting this is fixed but a lot of users are still reporting the issue, including me)
- CEC does not work at all
- internal apps are not 100% working
The Chroma looks absolutely stunning in bright scenes however during dark scenes, it cannot handle it. A ton of ghosting and blur that results in loss of detail around trees, hair, moving faces/objects.

Overall the quality of image and sound are good. Where this device fails is the user experience. The interface is clunky, CEC doesn't work other than volume and have already had it crash to the Android recovery menu. Unfortunately for a $3500 device this is unacceptable and will be returning it.

Upgraded from an Samsung 65" to this. Naturally wanted to go bigger. So was looking anywhere to a 75"-85". But prices start getting a little crazy once you go higher of course. Then stumbled upon projectors and this one caught my eye. All I can say is WOW! Watching movies and playing games on it is awesome! The built in Harman Kardon sounds really good. I already have a surround sound system but they're good if you don't have 5.1 setup. I did have it professionally calibrated to really dial in the colors. Of course you have to with most displays and can't expect to be perfect right out of the box. Also bought their projector screen for it. Been over a month and overall I'm very happy with it!

Not enough flexibility at price point

I was so excited to replace my old Epson 5040 with a triple laser UST. Best Buy sent a Geek Squad rep to build and install my new 123" alr screen and vava projector. At first glance the colors are really impressive. Then I started seeing rainbow effect that I had never experienced with my Epson. The technician went into the projector's settings and I was shocked at how few settings you are able to change. Only the most basic picture functions are able to be set. The technician said this was the 1st triple laser UST that he had installed but he was so disappointed with the setup that he was going to make a notation that even though I had purchased the projector more than 45 days ago I should be allowed to exchange it for a better product due to how bad the picture looked and the lack of features at the price point.

I love this projector. very clean image and quiet fan. Super dope
A:Yes, but I'd wait to see reviews on the newest production models after the official release. Those of us who backed it early on Indiegogo are still waiting for software updates to fix numerous picture quality issues. For 3d you need active glasses as well. VAVA kind of did a bait and switch telling us early backers that the official release would cost $4,600 so we were saving a lot by jumping in early, but now they release it for much less than that. Kinda sketchy.

A:Hello! Thank you for your question. Dolby vision updated cannot be added by changing the firmware. The update would require a new chip, which is not possible.
