Most of PurePC’s readers are computer enthusiasts. However, even the most die-hard PC fans will realize that the monitor screen is not suitable for everything. Watching a football match, an e-sports tournament or a party playing with several people on the pads are just a few of the situations where it is worth having a larger screen. The question is whether such occasional events are worth buying and keeping a TV at home? Especially if someone doesn’t watch TV at all? In addition, many people live in small studios, rent a flat or simply travel a lot. The golden mean may turn out to be a projector, which is small in itself, but offers a picture with a diagonal larger than many TV sets. Today we will check a cheap offer straight from China in the form of the BlitzWolf BW-VP6 model, which tempts with native Full HD resolution for a few hundred zlotys!

The name BlitzWolf is surely known to fans of shopping in the Middle Kingdom. This brand belongs to the Chinese sales platform Banggood, although it is also available on Aliexpress, Amazon or through intermediaries on the native Allegro. The Chinese offer a lot of consumer electronics. From chargers, through cables, powerbanks, headphones, bluetooth speakers, soundbars, lamps, smart home elements, selfists, projectors and many other devices. Today we will focus on the last of the mentioned groups, i.e. projectors.

BlitzWolf BW-BS Test 14 – Cheap and good stabilizer image
BlitzWolf BW-VP6 is a device with dimensions 300 x 130 x 225 (width x height x depth) millimeters and weighs about 2.8 kilograms. We are talking about a projector using LCD technology and a LED lamp, the life of which is declared on 40 000 hours. As I mentioned earlier, we’re talking about native Full HD resolution, and we can choose the projection size from 53 to 200 inches (projector-plane distance from 1.2 to 5 meters) in aspect ratio 16: 9. As for the other parameters, the contrast is 2000: 1, and the manufacturer promises a brightness level of 500 ANSI or 6000 Lumens. The built-in speakers are 5W each.

The projector comes packed like other devices of this brand, so we are talking about a white and green, simple cardboard with a plastic handle for easy carrying. Apart from the name of the manufacturer and model, we will find nothing else here – no photos of the product, no specifications Neither in Chinese, nor in English, and even less in Polish. Inside, the projector is secured with foam moldings and a foil bag, and apart from that, you will find instructions (in English, French, German, Italian and Spanish), two string bags and a black one. They hide all the necessary cabling: power cord, HDMI, V GA (D-Sub) and RCA – Jack 3.5 mm. The icing on the cake is of course a small, light but solid remote control. It requires two AAA batteries, which are not included in the set.

The projector comes with a full set of necessary cables and a small, handy remote control.
BlitzWolf BW-VP6 makes a good first impression The design of the housing, the fitting of the elements and the materials used are exemplary. Nothing smells “Chinese”. If the housing was printed with the name of a more reputable, recognizable brand in Europe / Poland, probably no one would know. The projector is almost entirely white, with black and gray accents. The plastic surface is slightly rough, and on the bottom there are four rubber, twisted legs (you can replace them on your own for other – the thread is universal). The control buttons are located on the top of the device and refer to the navigation arrows, the Menu key, OK and Back. The switch is located on the back of the device, just below the I / O panel. The aforementioned matt black remote control offers some more functions. There are also the buttons listed here (including Power), and apart from them, the Mute, Settings, Source selection, Volume up / Quieter, Home buttons are mentioned.

The set of connectors offered by the Chinese projector are two HDMI 1.4, one VGA (D-SUB), two USB 2.0, headphone jack and AV All of them are located on the panel on the back of the unit, including the place for the power cord. Next to it is a sponge filter hole through which air is sucked in to cool the inside of the projector. The exhaust hole is on the left side, closer to the front. based on an aluminum, richly ribbed heatsink (about 80 x 80 millimeters) through which four 6-millimeter copper heat pipes pass. The whole is complemented by two unspecified fans – one standard, 90 – millimeter thick 25 millimeters and the second slightly more massive because 93 – millimeter thick 30 millimeters.

Although the producer declares that files in the .mkv format are supported, in our case attempts to play such films have been unsuccessful.
Image with BlitzWolf BW-VP6 can be displayed in two ways: either by connecting the projector to an external device such as a PC, laptop, smartphone or home theater, or directly from a pendrive. In the second case, the producer says that video materials in AVI, MKV, MP4 format are supported , MOV, MPG, TS, TP, M2TS, DAT, FLV, SWF, ASF, VOB, RM, RMVB, 3GP; audio in MP3, ASF, WMA, AAC, OGG format and JPG, BMP and PNG images. music and photos wasn’t really a problem, yes the projector has not played any of my .mkv files. Regardless of their weight, resolution or codecs used. Each time it returned information about an unsupported format. However, files with the AVI, MP4, FLV or RMVB extension could be played without any problems, just like materials from a computer – even if broadcasted in resolution 1920 x 1200 instead of native 1920 x 1080 pixels.

The image was projected onto a plain white wall, although the photos do not reflect % of the realities are very close to her.

And what is the quality of the BlitzWolf BW-VP6 I did not expect much from the equipment at this price and straight from China – just a projector to watch with juice of a match or home tournament in Tekkena, but the image allows for much more, it is sharp, bright, and the colors are good, although not perfect (the biggest distortions are seen in green). It is nice to watch films thrown against a plain white wall both at night and during the day, although in the latter case it is better to cover the windows if there is sunny and we lose a lot of details in bright scenes. Built-in speakers are also good for them – audiophiles or owners of good audio equipment will immediately hear that “it could be better”. However, if someone has only a laptop or typical, plastic “farts” for a PC for <100 zlotys, the projector will be better here.

Same shot – on the top from the projector, on the bottom screenshot from the computer. The difference in colors is clear, but the camera also plays its own. Nevertheless, you can see that the BlitzWolf BW-VP6 has a problem with green and yellow on the factory settings.

The keystone function may be beneficial in small Thanks to it, the projector does not have to stand in front of the wall / screen.
Of course, it is possible and very easy to adjust the sharpness of the image. We do it manually by turning the lens on What’s more, BlitzWolf BW-VP6 has a built-in, retractable stand that allows you to tilt the device, and in addition, the options include keystone adjustment and the ability to change the image size (from 75% to 100%, in increments of 1%). But let’s focus on the keystone function – what does it do? Simply put, it allows the projector not to stand in front of the wall or screen onto which the image is to be projected. The device can simply be attached to the ceiling or placed somewhere to the side at an angle. Still, the image will not be “crooked” (trapezoidal), but will keep the proportions of a rectangle.

Okay, does BlitzWolf BW-VP6 have any disadvantages? Of course – at this price it could not be perfect. The biggest drawback is, in my opinion, the working culture of the device. While watching the movie, you can still hear the clear noise of the fans. The average volume is about , 7 dB (A) We performed the measurement on our own using a Benetech GM decibelometer 1356 with an accuracy of +/- 1.5 dB (class 2), in a soundproofed room, without reflection of sound waves hey. This value already audibly stands out beyond the background at home or the watched movie (on the low-medium volume of the built-in speakers). The culprit is probably just cheap Chinese fans because the heat sink is really well made. I suspect replacing them with something brand name will solve the problem. Another disadvantage is the fact that while BlitzWolf BW-VP6 allows you to browse the Internet without any problems, smaller fonts (especially black on a white background) can hardly be called readable from a distance of about 2.5 meters. In my case, the text size is only from 16 upwards provided a comfortable reading of articles and comments available on PurePC.
The average volume of the BlitzWolf BW-VP6 cooling system during operation is approximately 43, 7 dB (A). That’s a lot and the air noise is clearly audible.

At the end, there is one more issue that should be mentioned: If someone does not know the English language, and is also “less technical”, at the beginning he may have a problem with connecting and operating BlitzWolf BW-VP6. the included manual is devoid of Polish, and while you can choose one in the device menu, it lacks Polish characters, in general the quality of the translation is worse than Google Translate, and yet some words are still in English. beginning to end of English. Younger speakers will have no problem with it, and if you plan buying a projector for parents or grandparents is simply to “train” them. The actual installation and use of the BlitzWolf BW-VP6 is simple. Connect the power cord, connect the selected video cord and turn on the projector. Then we use a small remote that has only a few buttons and all of them use the universal markings known from TV remote controls.

To sum up, BlitzWolf BW-VP6 is a solidly made projector that offers Full HD resolution at a low price. The quality and brightness of the image is good, the quality and volume of the sound from the built-in speakers is satisfactory, and in the box we will find everything we need to connect devices for a computer, laptop or home theater. Both the older standard VGA (D-SUB), RCA and newer HDMI. The projector is pleasant to use without dedicated screens, simply by displaying a game or movie on a white wall. for this broke not a darkened room. The biggest disadvantage of BlitzWolf BW-VP6 is the work culture – the fans in the cooling system are quite loud and can be heard while playing or watching, although they do not drown out the sounds from the game / movie. The quality (or lack thereof) of translating the menu from English into Polish also leaves a lot to be desired. Even Google Translate would do better with it.
BlitzWolf BW-VP6 is a solidly made projector that offers Full HD resolution at a low price. The image quality and brightness is really good, as is the sound quality and volume from the built-in speakers.

On the Chinese sales platform Banggood, to which the BlitzWolf brand belongs, this is approximately 749 PLN with courier shipping from the Czech Republic included, so the equipment will be with us within 2 to 5 working days.For PurePC readers we have special code BGPUREPCVP6 (number of uses limited), which reduces the price by approximately 665 PLN For this price you will not get anything better in Poland on the primary market. The cheapest branded equipment with similar parameters, c zyli Philips NPX 640 NeoPix Ultra, is an expense from 1299 zlotys upwards. If you already find a projector cheaper, at best with native resolution 720 p, instead of 1080 pi without built-in speakers.
