Brighter and Sharper Images
The Yaber K3 and K3 Pro projectors boast an impressive 1,600 ANSI lumens brightness, making them the brightest offerings from the company to date. Utilizing LED technology, these projectors can display Full HD 1080p images ranging from 40 to 200 inches in size, with a throw ratio of 1.2:1.
Yaber's new NovaGlow optical technology promises to deliver sharper and more vivid images compared to previous models. To manage the increased heat output from the brighter LEDs, the company has developed the CoolSwift cooling system, which combines a U-shaped heatsink with dual thermoelectric coolers.
Smart Features and Connectivity
Both K3 models run on Android with Google TV, providing access to over 7,000 apps, including popular streaming services like YouTube, Netflix, and Disney+. The projectors feature several smart capabilities:
- Auto Focus
- Auto Keystone Correction
- Intelligent Screen Alignment
- Obstacle Avoidance
For seamless connectivity, the K3 series supports NFC for quick content casting, Wi-Fi 6 (ax) for fast wireless connections, and Bluetooth 5.0. Voice command functionality is also included for hands-free operation.
Audio Performance
Audio quality hasn't been overlooked, with both models featuring dual 15W JBL-tuned speakers and Dolby Atmos support. The K3 Pro variant goes a step further by including an additional woofer for enhanced bass response.
Pricing and Availability
The Yaber K3 is priced at €600 (approximately $640) and will be sold exclusively online. For those seeking extra bass, the K3 Pro is available at €650 (about $695) and will be sold only in physical stores.
Additionally, Yaber has introduced the more affordable L2s model, priced at €240 (roughly $255). While it offers a lower 700 lumens brightness, it still projects a 1080p image and includes features like Auto Focus and dual 8W JBL speakers.
With its competitive pricing and feature set, the Yaber K3 series aims to carve out a niche in the budget-friendly smart projector market, offering a compelling alternative to more expensive home theater solutions.
