What it is
Average grade from independent test sites, magazines and video reviewers, 1–10.
How we count it
Grades: Each review's own score is converted to 1–10; without one, we grade the review ourselves. Big test sites count more, short reviews half as much as full tests. A video review counts half.
Score: The average grade is 80% of the review mark; the number of reviews is the other 20% (1 review = 5, the typical number in this category = 8, the most-reviewed model = 10).
Enough data: With few reviews, the average grade is pulled toward the typical grade of this category. No reviews yet: 7.8 for now.

Third-party reviews

What customers like about Primeum CinePro

  • Weighs 1.1 kg, so it is easy to move between rooms.
  • Motorized focus sharpens the picture without touching the lens.
  • Ceiling projection is supported, so it works on a ceiling mount.
  • Android 14 is built in, so streaming apps run without a separate box.
  • Auto keystone correction straightens a tilted picture.
  • HDR10 support gives films more range between light and dark.

What customers don't like about Primeum CinePro

  • 550 lumens needs a dark room, and daytime viewing will look washed out.
  • Contrast of 2000:1 means dark scenes can look greyish.
  • The 1.3 m minimum throw means it needs room between the lens and the wall.
  • At 200 inch, the 1920x1080 picture is less sharp than at a smaller size.

Verdict

At 1.1 kg, the Primeum CinePro is easy to move from one room to another. It runs Android 14, so streaming apps are on board without a separate box. Motorized focus means you sharpen the picture without touching the lens, which is handy on a ceiling mount. Auto keystone correction straightens the image when the projector sits at an angle. The panel is 1920x1080, and the picture can reach 200 inch. HDR10 support adds more depth to films. The trade-off is brightness. At 550 lumens it needs a dark room, and daytime viewing will look washed out. Noise sits at 30 dB, quiet enough for a film. It suits someone who watches films at night and wants a light projector for a bedroom or den.
