The Valerion StreamMaster Plus2 is a striking, well-built projector with Dolby Vision and Google TV, but a faint halo and fixed placement requirements hold it back.

Third-party reviews

What customers like about Valerion StreamMaster Plus2

  • A 240 Hz refresh rate gives smooth motion in fast games and sport.
  • A 4 ms input lag means controls respond quickly.
  • Three HDMI ports let you connect several devices at once.
  • Support for Dolby Vision and HDR10+ gives a wider picture range.
  • The laser light source is rated for a lamp life of 25000 hours.
  • Auto low latency mode switches the picture into game mode by itself.

What customers don't like about Valerion StreamMaster Plus2

  • The 5.05 m minimum throw distance needs a long room.
  • At 7 kg it is heavy to move, so it is best left in one place.
  • There is no variable refresh rate, so changing frame rates in games will look less smooth.
  • The top HDMI input is 4K at 60 Hz, so higher-rate 4K sources are capped.

Verdict

Low input lag and a 240 Hz refresh rate make the Valerion StreamMaster Plus2 a good match for fast games. Its 4 ms input lag keeps controls in step with the screen, and the 3840x2160 laser picture looks sharp at up to 300 inch. Dolby Vision, HDR10+ and Dolby Atmos add range to films and sound, and three HDMI ports take a console, a player and a streaming box at once. The trade-off is size: the 5.05 m throw distance needs a long room, and at 7 kg it is not a set to move often. Its 2000 ANSI lumens suit a room with the lights on, though a dim room suits the picture better. It suits someone with a dedicated room who plays fast games and watches films on a big screen.
