Vankyo Leisure 510 — Colorful WXGA Projector with Full HD Compatibility and Stereo Speaker

Searching for the affordable projector to watch the 780p content? The Vankyo Leisure 510 review might be the solution to your problem. This HD projector is very bright and colorful and provides a distinct contrast.

The unit features the digital upscaling mechanism allowing display the Full HD content. It sets up a balanced image at a short throw distance and fits small and middle-sized rooms well. There’s no ceiling mount, but the keystone could be shifted to eliminate the trapezoidal effect.

The projector has multiple connection ports and supports the screen mirroring function with the mobile devices and the PC.

Design

The Vankyo Leisure 510 HD movie projector combines a compact form (13.4-inch wide, 12.8-inch deep, and just 5.9-inch high) with the lightweight design. It weighs just 5.5 lbs and could be easily carried or placed on the upper shelves.

The front panel has the mesh surface and the big-sized lense on the left. The whole side panel is grilled to ensure the proper ventilation of the unit. Connections are located on the back panel, while all the controls are grouped on top.

The control buttons and dials are black and stand out on the differently colored Vankyo Leisure 510 body. The focus dial is large and moderately responsive, while the focus wheel is located next to it, is quicker to rotate. Four buttons completed with the arrow controls let navigate through the projector menu and settings.

Features

The supported WXGA matrix offers the screen with the 16:10 ratio. The projector works on the LCD framework and is backed up with a high luminosity of 3,600 LUX. The picture has the 3000:1 contrast and comes as large as 230 inches at the maximum projection distance (about 16ft).

The Vankyo Leisure 510 Full HD projector is equipped with two powerful 1.5-inch fans ensuring that the unit doesn’t warm too much. The lamp used in the projector is rated as 40,000-hour one and can make up to 50,000 hours in the Eco mode.

The audio support is represented with the double stereo speakers of 3W capacity. The unit can connect to smartphones and tablets through the HDMI, the VGA port serves to hook up the PC. There’s also the audio output and video input, and the USB connection for quick media sharing.

Performance

The image quality is the main concern in the Vankyo Leisure 510 Full HD projector review. While the device can display 2 million pixels, the Full HD content does feature some slight blurs and less detail in the dark shades. With the 780p, things go differently. High brightness and sharp contours create the dynamic contrast resulting in the natural and saturated colors. The color gamut is full, covering the multiple hues and providing the deep uniform blacks and greys and solid warm whites.

The picture quality depends highly on the ambient light. The detailed and colorful picture is supported in the dark and semi-lit environment, while at daylight, the colors seem washed out and the contours feature a halo.

Fan operation might be audible during the quiet scenes while mostly, the sound is rather low. The speaker’s performance is consistent, the volume can be wound up quite high and the dialogs are distinct. The projector can be connected to various devices including wireless ones and serve as a streaming gadget.

The only shortcoming I mention in my Vankyo Performance V600 review is about a mono sound system. Its speaker is pretty loud, yet I lacked surround sound and had to connect my own sound system.

Thus, the Vankyo Leisure 3 mini projector can be placed anywhere in the room and won’t spoil the interior.

Performance

The Vankyo Leisure 3 review can’t help but accentuate its 1920x1080 resolution and 2000:1 contrast ratio, which is a good choice for home entertainment. Pay attention that the manufacturer doesn’t recommend the device for presentation or office work. The feeling of a large screen is achieved by using an image size of 32 to 170 inches with a projection distance between 4.9ft and 16.4ft. The picture quality is good, but there must be total darkness in the room, otherwise, some dimness will appear. The unit is equipped with an innovative cooling system with heat dissipation, as well as noise reduction technology that halves fan noise. It appeals to me that the Vankyo Leisure 3 manual adjustment is rather simple and all I have to do is follow the instruction that is detailed and clear. The manual contains all the useful data and even will help get rid of some simple problems.
