TPU turned up for a second visit at Dangbei's demo room as things were wrapping at this week's Las Vegas trade show—where Vahid checked out the Chinese brand's flagship projectors. Their Mars Pro 2 model represents the "next dimension in 4K laser home cinema"—it offers 2450 lumens of performance, two 12 W DTS:X-enhanced speakers, and marks the debut of HDR10+ in a Dangbei home cinema projector. The Mars Pro 2 is also capable of producing three 3D modes.

The Dangbei X5 Ultra is another high-end 4K Ultra HD in the company's stable—it also is their first model to be fitted with a full-color LED hybrid light source system. The latest upgrade—ALPD 5.0 technology—assists in covering 110% of the BT.2020 color gamut with great accuracy, and to hit a maximum brightness of 2500 lumens. Integrated sound is produced by a pair of 12 W DTS:X-enhanced speakers. Dangbei is targeting an international launch this year, but buyers in their native market have already spent time with the X5 Ultra triple-laser projector.

The Dangbei Atom is barely the size of small, ultraportable projectors that tend to put out 200-400 ANSI Lumens, but don't be fooled by its size, its designers claim a maximum brightness of 1200 ISO Lumens (around 1500 ANSI Lumens)! It does so using a laser light source, and is able to project a Full HD display head onto a large 100-inch screen over a roughly 8-foot distance. The only drawback is that this isn't quite a portable projector, it lacks a battery, and you rely on a 12 V DC wall wart. 5 W stereo speakers make for the rest of it. Google TV comes pre-installed, so all your streaming apps from the Play Store just work. Besides Wi-Fi, the projector takes in an HDMI source, and a USB 2.0 (for mass storage). Dangbei is pricing the Atom at $899.
