Tilt the projector upwards and enjoy movies and series directly on your ceiling – perfect for relaxed evenings in bed. No matter where you place it, the Vali 1 adapts to your environment, not the other way around. This is home cinema that finally adapts to your life.
Smart, Certified & Ready to Go: Android TV 11 with Netflix on Board
No more external streaming sticks and compatibility issues. The Vali 1 comes with an official Android TV 11 stick, opening the door to thousands of apps in the Google Play Store. Most importantly: It is fully Netflix-certified. This means you can start the app and stream your favorite content immediately in crystal-clear Full HD. With the integrated Google Assistant, you can control everything conveniently by voice, and thanks to Chromecast, you can easily cast content from your smartphone or laptop to the big screen.
Intelligence You Can See: Perfect Picture Thanks to ASA 3.0 Automatic
Setting up a projector has never been easier. The smart ASA 3.0 technology does all the work for you. Within seconds, the autofocus and automatic keystone correction ensure a perfectly sharp and rectangular image, even if the projector is at an angle to the wall. If the system detects an obstacle in the image, like a plant or a light switch, it automatically adjusts the projection area. You don't have to do anything but sit back and enjoy the result.
Surprising Sound: Integrated Audio for Your Movie Experience
A great picture deserves great sound. The Wanbo Vali 1 surprises with its powerful 2x6W stereo speakers. With a total output of 12 watts and a 500cc sound chamber, this home cinema projector produces clear, loud, and surprisingly balanced sound with noticeable bass. For most movie nights or series watching, no external sound system is necessary. Simply choose between different sound modes like Movie, Standard, Gaming, or Music and immerse yourself fully in the action.
