Actual use experience
ZenBeam E2 has a brightness of 300 lumens, a contrast ratio of 400:1, a maximum input resolution of 1920 x 1080 with an HDMI cable, and a lifespan of LED bulbs up to 30,000 hours. Using DLP technology, the color that can be displayed is as high as 16.7m, so the overall color gamut will be very wide. The Throw Ratio of the projected lens is 1.3:1, the projection offset is 100%±5%, and the magnification is fixed, so if you need to zoom in, you need to manually adjust it back and forth. It should be noted that the ZenBeam E2 does not have autofocus Function, the focus needs to be manually adjusted by the scroll wheel on the side of the fuselage, which seems troublesome but actually very interesting!

In addition to wired connection, players can also easily play videos or presentations wirelessly through the USB WiFi Dongle. The built-in 5W SonicMaster sound effect of ZenBeam E2 does make it have better sound performance than mobile phones. It’s a pity that because the body is small, no matter how good the speakers are, it will make people feel less blind, but the 15-ping suite is no problem if the overall connection does not block the connection signal!

Personally, I think the most special thing regarding ZenBeam E2 is that it can be used to watch some IG Shorts vertical videos, and even said that the live projection of IG is also very interesting. During the epidemic, players only need to have a white wall to enjoy the look and feel of the big screen painlessly, then this function The most convenient thing for Xiaobian is that you can watch dance videos while watching the big screen and learn, as if there is really a dance teacher teaching in front.

Miniature Theater ZenBeam E2
If you have to carry out camping, business briefings, ZenBeam E2 is a very good choice. In addition, it supports 2 kinds of input sources, and audio can also be connected externally. Basically, it is a product for mobile phones. After using it, I think ZenBeam E2 is very suitable for small business owners who need to rent a house or have frequent business presentation needs, and use it at home. It can instantly become a 100-inch theater, but because the ZenBeam E2 has only 300 lumens, it may not be too large in outdoor light sources, and the experience will be better if it is used in the dark. But in fact, these have little impact on users. After all, when the lights are turned off, most people have curtains in their homes, not to mention the built-in 5W speakers that can be connected to external audio, so don’t enjoy it too much. In conclusion, buying a mini projector with so many functions at the price of NT$ 9990 is definitely a super cost-effective, players who need it can refer to it!
