is correct. The image settings are available in the right Settings page. Yes, I am very satisfied with the projector. I don't use the built-in Android 9. I only use the projector via the connected Amazon Firestick 4k Max. The image and sound are therefore the maximum via the projector. I activated HDMI 2.0 in the right settings. Yesterday I watched a 4k nature film via Netflix. The picture quality was amazing! I have sound on the soundbar via bluetooth. 100% lip sync. Projector is on a small shelf on the wall behind the sofa. The distance to the screen is approx. 3.8 meters.

Hi! I am using chromecast 4.0 4k. Android 9 built into the projector is very weak. What does it mean that you have activated HDMI 2.0? How to do it? Will I then be able to watch uhd quality programs from chromecast? I am also happy with the projector. In a dark room, the picture and colors are great! You intrigued me that with Amazon firestick you can watch Netflix 4k. Please write how you did it... because I can only watch 4k with chromecast.
Greetings from Poland.

I wanted to write that only YouTube can be watched in 4k quality from a chromecast through a projector. I have Netflix, Amazon, HBO only in FHD quality. That's why I'm very curious how to do it to have higher quality

I'm attaching some pictures. Here you can see in the settings where to turn on HDMI 2.0 for HDMI 1 where my Firestick is plugged in. Pictures are unfortunately a bit light because the room is not darkened.

Thank you very much! When I get home I'll play around with the settings :))) I project the image on a brown wall and I find it surprisingly good especially when the room is dark. My picture on the wall is about 90 inches diagonal

I always thought you needed a white background for a projector. I am surprised by the beautiful picture on the brown background. 👍
I was surprised too, but as you can see, a dark background works well. I've read articles about dark and black projector screens. Some recommend only such a solution. The projector itself does not display black color .... therefore there is a good contrast on a dark background. The basic thing is good projector brightness. Our 650 ansilumen can do it :)

yes, this is for the Firestick or other sticks plugged into HDMI 1. When you are on the Firestick start page, you can use the projector remote control to open the menu using the round button on the top right. The menu is only available for the input sources " HDMI1 and AV1. This is not possible on the projector start page.

Regards skysat

Addendum:
in order to get to this menu, nothing needs to be connected to the input sources HDMI1 or AV1.

Hi! Thank you for your help. I found the menu you wrote about, changed the HDMI to 2.0 .... the picture is really beautiful now!! I have one more small problem... it's about a small (about 0.5 second) sound delay. I've tried to change it in different sound options, but so far no effect. Do you know how it can be corrected?

I will also say that I got the original Wanbo tripod for this projector from Aliexpress and it works really well, you can precisely set it against the wall on which I am displaying.
Regards:)

I just switched audio from the Firestick to my soundbar via Bluetooth. The audio is 100% in sync. I don't use anything else about the Android 9 from the projector. Also, the general picture quality via the internet Android 9 projector system is not nearly as good as via the HDMI1 source. In order to take full advantage of the quality of the projector, I can recommend everyone to look over a Firestick. I can't say anything about a Chromecast Stick because it hasn't been tested. You don't need the built-in Android 9.

I'm not using the built-in android 9 either. I'm only using a connected Chromecast 4 4k. Previously, I had a Xiaomi TV Stick 4k and I can say that the quality of operation and image is better in Chromecast. I stream audio from Chromecast via Bluetooth to my home theater receiver. Everything works fine, 5.1 surround sound ... the only thing that annoys me is the delay of sound to image about 0.5 seconds.

Hi,
I’m using T6 max projector for almost a year and half. After a software update the projection aspect ratio which we will set using the four point keystone is not maintaining if I switch off the projector completely (turn off the power source) and turn it ON.
I tried factory reset also. still observing same issue.

Can anyone help me how to solve this?

Hello! Which software version do you have? I have from February 2023 and everything works fine. The projector remembers all image settings and keystone correction even when completely disconnected from the power supply.

Hi,
Thanks for the feedback

I was using sep 2022 software with this issue then downloaded the feb 2023 software from xda manually updated it to see whether that could resolve the issue, but unfortunately not

    Good , I recently bought a Wanbo T6 MAX (2gb/16gb GLOBAL VERSION) , the team I mark update by OTA and to update it turned off and does not pass the welcome screen, talk to the provider and I sent this firmware.


    1.I format a pendrive in fat32.
    2. I copy the files.
    3. I connect the usb and then the power supply.
    4. I press the one button on the T6 MAX until it flashes and release it, it comes out with a welcome message but it doesn't go any further.

    What can I do?

    Yesterday I was talking to support ([email protected]) and they gave me a new firmware: 20221014
    Link

    They also solved my doubt to pair the remote control, the buttons to put it in pairing mode are left and right simultaneously.


    But I still have the problem with google assistant not listening.
    It activates but does not recognize the voice

    Hi

    I have received latest Wanbo model week ago. Have been owning many projectors and android tv sets before but this one is my first projector with embedded Android bought for testing and future mods

    Projector has very good hardware for the price, but fails miserably on software level.

    Straight of the box with the latest software update many apps do not work well or at all. Netflix returns -80 errors on start. Disney and amazon apps crashing. It is not possible to see projector as cast source from android phone (Poko F3) without app that only cast in SD and displays annoying widgets.

    To workaround very poor android experience I have bough cheapest chromecast but because projector requires android tv app to stream from hdmi it is not possible to use chromecast the same way as on tv. Simple actions like changing video quality on chromecast doesn't work and returns user to projector os.

    Then I figured out to connect keyboard with touch pad. This allows me to use chrome on projector with youtube and netflix like on PC.

    Netflix and other streaming providers are on SD quality due to lack of wildewine support so not really benefiting from projectors full hd features.

    After all week of poking with it I would never go with the Android embedded in projector and prefer chromecast or connecting laptop or even phone to normal hdmi only projector that does have good contrast. It is amazing quality hardware but it looks like thet got no time to polish software.
