Valerion - VisionMaster Pro 2

This video convinced me to buy the Valerion Pro 2. Espc. coz there’s a bundle deal going on their website ; matte white screen, ceiling mount and pro 2 for $3099. I do hope the screen is of good quality though. They didnt mention a name :/

I was in a similar hunt to yours till recently. I just bought the Valerion Vision master Pro 2 bundle on Amazon for $2699 (w/mount, 3d glasses, hdmi cable). Picture quality is great and I’m just projecting on a white wall now! Watch the hook up guys YouTube video on it for a detailed review

I was debating the same thing and ended up with the Valerion Vision Master Pro 2. It’s great. Watch the Hook Up guys review on YouTube. That sold me.

I have a 135" woven acoustic from silver ticket for my visionmaster pro2 and love it. Picture still looks great with ambient light.

Yeah with any projector a lot of ambient light will reduce the contrast but it doesnt completely wash it out.

In my opinion theyre very good. Especially if you have dark walls or curtains you can pull to avoid light reflection. If you really care that much about super deep blacks an oled might be your best bet. With good light control and dark walls projectors are awesome but they arent going to be as dark as an OLED.

I would recommend watching some YouTube videos by TheHookup. Generally in the price range you’re looking at it’s hard to beat the Valerion, but if you go that route you need to be aware of screen material because non fresnel ALR screens result in laser speckle. https://youtu.be/F6mFV7XQC3o?si=Ohb3F—GpyDk8jOW

I was trying to decide the same thing. Ended up going with the Valerion VisionPro2 as it had great reviews and checked all the boxes. No regrets so far!

Definitely would consider throw distance. I recently got the Valerion pro 2. Upgraded from a benqtk700sti and it's really good. Very bright great contrast and its softer on the wallet. You can find deals for it on eBay 

I mean sure but I got an open box C2 ultra for 2400$ CAD open box. And the pro2 is 4300$ I do think the Pro 2 is slightly better (but they are damn close on the whole) but that’s not worth 2000$ for me

If you have them side by side then maybe you’ll see a SLIGHT difference but on their own they will both look incredible. There was a video done of the Valerion Pro 2 vs a 17k JVC projector and mannnn it’s getting close for way cheaper.

So the reality starts to become clear. Surprise! surprise! It is no breakthrough or a space disruptor. It is still a very good projector (but so are other similar e.g. Hisense, Leica, Formovie and Nexigo Aurora) and is a good choice for the early bird price but not so for the regular price. The much hyped by influencer feature - EBL is rather a disappointment and better kept off. The native contrast is about 1:1600 and not what Valerion claimed. Multiple serious reviews are out there reporting the same thing. So, in a nutshell, don't trust influencers (be it hookup or projector junkies or whomever), don't fall for the extreme hype and fomo created by such companies (they pay even for a written review on AVS forum) and lastly it's a good projector but not a breakthrough.

I am not an expert but here’s my experience switching. It depends on your projector and the room. We have our projector in the basement and we have no problem with light. The projector, Visionmaster Pro2, is very bright so ambient light is fine. Because it’s a basement, though, we have no direct light from outside to contend with. I think it’s really a matter of how much control you have over the amount of light in the room. If you can filter out a reasonable amount of sunlight during daytime viewing a projector is fine. If you like a bright room, then a TV is better. But also, triple laser projectors now produce a much brighter picture than the old lamp projectors did for the same price.

It doesn’t have to be fully dark. You just don’t want direct sunlight. We sit in our basement with the lights on and watch and the picture is nice and bright. It depends on how bright you want the room to be, but I would not call ours dark.

I have the Valerion Pro2 you’re looking at. There’s no tv on the market that can compare to the 141” 2.4:1 picture with my 9.2.6 Atmos rig. My screen is acoustically transparent, so my 9 speakers at ear level are all identical, which gives a seamless audio sound field. As for wiring chaos, I have three wires going to my projector from the closet where my rack is. The power cable is an extension with the power supply in the closet. The other two are Ethernet and HDMI. All are neatly tucked inside the mount, so it’s very clean.

I have a Pro2. Materials help with laser speckle, but not rainbow. I'm sensitive to rainbow, but my wife isn't. I see it, but am not really bothered too much. In a really high contrast scene (where it's really evident), I try not to dart my eyes across the screen. A positive gain screen might show laser speckle. My screen is a woven AT 0.8 gain. I don't see speckle at all. That said, I love my Pro2, even though the firmware, even with the current update, doesn't seem finished yet. Picture quality is outstanding in my completely light controlled room. You might think of darkening the walls and ceiling of your new room. That'll give you the biggest increase in contrast regardless of the projector you ultimately choose. I've got black fabric walls and ceiling.

Disclaimer: I bought a Valerion VisionMaster Pro2 Check out the Valerions as well.

Ignore those deluded Valerion fans. Tbf if you only consume non subtitle dark content then maybe Valerion ebl will be the better choice for you. Assuming you're not sensitive to rbe, under $3k the best is dangbei s7 ultra max, then it's a tossed up between xgimi horizon 20 max and nebula x1. For ust, nexigo ap mk2 is better than valerion and has no rbe / speckle issue too.

Imo get a big tv. Long throw like the valerion is out of the question as it needs a dark room. Ust + alr is the only viable option but it still won't beat a tv for pq. Projector is only an option if tv is too expensive or can't physically fit the door.

Yes but all long throw are like that, you can't beat physics as unlike ust that's nearer to the screen. Also, long throw are affected by ceiling, walls and room reflection, even if you close the blind and turn off the light there's still light from the projector that's bouncing off them and will bleed the screen (the black turns lighter). If you going for 120 then ust + alr is the only route then. Also, for ust you might want to consider factors like rbe, hotspot and speckle. Ust needs tensioned screen unlike long throw which even a wall can be used as screen.

Long throw alr not as good as ust ones and tri laser like Valerion pro2 has speckles issues that gets exacerbated with alr screen. Imo with ambient light, the best option is ust + alr.
