Third-party reviews

What customers like about Tencent Aurora P2S

  • High-quality 1080p picture with 1300 ANSI lumens, suitable for well-lit rooms with curtains and excellent in dark rooms
  • Equipped with JBL speakers providing strong, immersive stereo sound
  • Powerful Amlogic T982 chip ensures smooth operation and supports 4K/8K decoding
  • Extremely convenient, fully automatic focus, keystone correction, obstacle avoidance, and screen entry
  • Excellent gaming performance with low latency and native support for Tencent START cloud gaming
  • Thoughtful design with an embedded lens that prevents dust buildup

What customers don't like about Tencent Aurora P2S

  • Picture quality noticeably degrades during daytime without curtains, showing some washout
  • Requires Tencent video membership to access high-quality content fully
  • Some users report that while the fan is generally quiet, it can be audible at higher brightness modes
  • Relatively high price point compared to some other 1080p options

Verdict

The Tencent Aurora P2s is a compact smart DLP projector that delivers a native 1080p resolution with a brightness of 700 CVIA lumens (approximately 1300 ANSI lumens) and support for 4K/8K decoding. Powered by the Amlogic T982 flagship chip with 4GB of RAM and 32GB/64GB of storage, it features advanced O-VISION 2.0 picture enhancement, HDR10+, and MEMC motion interpolation for fluid visuals. Key pros include high-fidelity audio from dual 10W Harman-tuned speakers, a quiet operating noise level of ≤24dB, and a gaming-ready 20ms low-latency mode via HDMI 2.1. It also offers automated setup tools like autofocus, keystone correction, and intelligent obstacle avoidance. Cons include the lack of a laser light source compared to high-end competitors, limited maximum projection size of 120 inches, and potential software limitations for international users given its focus on the Tencent Aurora TV ecosystem.
