Verdict
Yaber V9 is a real bargain for the money, with features rarely found at this price.

Third-party reviews

What customers like about Yaber V9

  • A picture up to 300 inch suits a large blank wall.
  • Two HDMI ports keep two devices connected at once.
  • Auto-focus and auto keystone save setup time.
  • Stereo speakers give a wider sound than one speaker.
  • It can be mounted on a ceiling.
  • A 60 W power draw keeps energy use modest.

What customers don't like about Yaber V9

  • 600 ANSI lumens is low, so the picture needs a dark room.
  • At 300 inch the image looks dimmer than at a smaller size.
  • The 1 m minimum throw means it cannot sit right against the wall.
  • Its stereo speakers do not give surround sound for movies.

Verdict

The main draw of the Yaber V9 is a picture up to 300 inch. This is a 1080p projector with two HDMI ports, so a game console and a streaming stick can stay plugged in at once. Power draw is 60 W, which keeps its energy use modest, and the 10000:1 contrast rating helps dark scenes look clear. Auto-focus and auto keystone correction mean you spend less time setting it up. The trade-off is brightness: 600 ANSI lumens is low, and a 300 inch image spreads that light across a larger area. It needs at least 1 m between the lens and the screen, so it cannot sit right up to the wall. It suits someone with a blank wall and a dark room who wants a big picture for movies without a fiddly setup.
