Third-party reviews

What customers like about Aurzen D1 air

  • 16 W stereo speakers fill a small room with sound.
  • Dolby Atmos support adds a sense of space to films.
  • Auto-focus and auto keystone correction set up the picture quickly.
  • Chromecast built in lets you cast from a phone straight to the screen.
  • 30 degrees of vertical keystone correction lets it sit on a low shelf and still square the picture.
  • At 137 mm wide it fits on a narrow shelf.

What customers don't like about Aurzen D1 air

  • 300 ANSI lumens is dim, so daylight washes out the picture.
  • The 120 inch maximum picture size is small for a big living room.
  • Horizontal keystone correction is only 20 degrees, so it has to be lined up fairly straight.
  • At 257 mm high it stands tall and can look bulky on a shelf.
  • There is only one HDMI port and one USB port.

Verdict

Sound is the main draw of the Aurzen D1 air, a smart projector with 16 W stereo speakers and Dolby Atmos support. The 1920x1080 picture is sharp enough for films, and auto-focus sets it up with little fuss. The trade-off is brightness: 300 ANSI lumens works in a dim room but struggles with daylight. The image tops out at 120 inch, so it suits a bedroom wall more than a big living room. Vertical keystone correction reaches 30 degrees, so it can sit on a shelf and still square the picture. It needs at least 1.1 m between the lens and the wall. Voice commands, a dedicated app and Chromecast built in make streaming simple. It suits someone who watches films in a small room and wants decent sound without buying a soundbar.
