Third-party reviews

What customers like about WiMiUS K9

  • The 40 W audio output fills a living room with sound.
  • The lamp is rated for 160000 hours, so it should last for years.
  • 700 lumens copes with a room that is not fully dark.
  • HDR10 support and 99% NTSC color coverage make films look richer.
  • Voice commands and a remote make it easy to control.
  • It draws 72 W while running, which is a modest figure for its brightness.

What customers don't like about WiMiUS K9

  • The 1.5 m minimum throw distance needs a fair amount of room.
  • Audible noise of 38 dB is noticeable in a quiet room.
  • The panel is 1080p, so a 4K input is scaled down.
  • There is no motorized zoom, so you move the projector to change the picture size.

Verdict

For a living room where sound matters as much as the picture, the WiMiUS K9 is a sensible pick. It is rated at 700 lumens, enough for a film with the blinds half closed, and it throws up to 300 inch. Its 40 W audio output is the main draw, so a separate speaker is often not needed. HDR10 support and 99% NTSC color coverage make films look richer. The lamp is rated for 160000 hours, and auto-focus with auto keystone correction keeps setup quick. It can also be mounted on a ceiling. Its 38 dB noise is noticeable in a quiet room, and the 1.5 m minimum throw distance needs real space. It suits a family who wants a lively picture and loud sound in a room that is not fully dark.
