Valerion VisionMaster Pro 2

The VisionMaster Pro 2 from Valerion is the new flagship from this rising brand in the projector world. This triple RGB laser projector combines a brightness of 3000 ISO lumens with a dynamic contrast ratio of 15,000:1 to deliver spectacular images for both cinema and gaming. Equipped with DLP technology with a 0.47” DMD chip and compatible with the most demanding HDR formats (Dolby Vision, HDR10+, IMAX Enhanced), it aims to faithfully reproduce directors’ original vision. Its remarkable versatility is rounded out by an integrated Google TV system, exhaustive connectivity, and one of the lowest input lags on the market.

At the heart of the VisionMaster Pro 2 is its triple RGB laser light source, a premium technology that enables it to cover 110% of the Rec. 2020 color space. This technical achievement translates into an exceptionally rich color palette, surpassing even professional standards in the film industry. The 0.47” DMD chip combined with XPR (pixel-shifting) technology reproduces the full 8.29 million pixels of 4K resolution, delivering remarkable sharpness down to the finest details.

The EBL (Enhanced Black Level) system enhances black depth while preserving detail in highlights. Dynamic HDR processing optimizes high dynamic range content in real time, avoiding blown-out highlights or crushed blacks. This projector also supports cinema-specific frame rates (24 and 48 FPS), ensuring absolute fidelity to the original works.

ISF (Imaging Science Foundation) certification attests to professional color calibration right out of the box. This standardization provides additional assurance of color accuracy and allows demanding users to enjoy a perfectly balanced image without complex adjustments.

Remarkable installation flexibility

The VisionMaster Pro 2’s optical zoom, with its variable 0.9–1.5:1 throw ratio, is a major asset rarely offered on projectors in this category. This feature provides considerable freedom in positioning the projector relative to the screen. It can project an image from 40 to 300 inches diagonally (1 to 7.62 meters), adapting to both small spaces and large rooms.

Automatic geometric correction compensates for the absence of lens shift by intelligently adjusting the image to avoid keystone distortion when the projector isn’t perfectly aligned with the screen. This function, combined with autofocus, greatly simplifies installation even for users unfamiliar with technical settings.

With its 3000 ISO lumens, the VisionMaster Pro 2 provides sufficient brightness for use in rooms that aren’t fully darkened. This versatility lets you make the most of the projector without necessarily turning your living room into a completely dark home theater.

A reference gaming experience

The VisionMaster Pro 2 stands out for its video game performance. Its input lag ranks among the lowest on the market: just 4 ms at 1080p 240 Hz, 8 ms at 1080p 120 Hz, and 15 ms at 4K 60 Hz. These exceptional figures ensure optimal responsiveness, essential for competitive gaming where every millisecond counts.

The two built-in game modes optimize display to improve visibility in dark areas and increase visual precision. Specific features like the Crosshair and Dark Detail enhancement offer tangible advantages in shooters or adventure games.

The projector also supports ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode), which automatically switches to low-latency mode when a game console is detected. This seamless integration simplifies the user experience and guarantees optimal performance without tedious manual adjustments.

A complete and connected multimedia hub

The VisionMaster Pro 2 features the Google TV operating system, offering native access to major streaming platforms like Netflix, YouTube, Prime Video, Disney+, and Apple TV+. This intuitive interface makes it easy to navigate between different content sources and install additional apps as needed.

The exhaustive connectivity includes two HDMI 2.1 ports (the latest standard, supporting 4K at 120 Hz), an HDMI 2.0 port with eARC for simplified connection to a soundbar or amplifier, USB 3.0 and 2.0 ports, a digital audio output, and an Ethernet port. Wireless technologies include Wi‑Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2, ensuring stable and fast connections.

Compatibility with AirPlay 2, Chromecast, and Miracast makes it easy to cast content from a smartphone, tablet, or computer. Integration with the most popular smart home ecosystems (Apple HomeKit, Google Home, Alexa, and Control 4) further extends connectivity, allowing the projector to be included in automated scenarios.

Comparison with the previous model and the competition

The VisionMaster Pro 2 builds on the foundation of its predecessor, the VisionMaster Pro, while delivering significant improvements: higher brightness (3000 lumens versus 2500) and optimized contrast to maximize image clarity and depth.

Against a premium competitor like the Leica Cine Play 1, the VisionMaster Pro 2 stands out with a wider color gamut (110% of BT.2020 versus 100%) and more sophisticated HDR handling. Leica, however, retains the advantage of a superior aspherical glass lens and includes a cradle stand as standard, offered as an option on the Valerion.

Audio performance and design

Despite its primary role as a video projector, the VisionMaster Pro 2 doesn’t neglect sound. Its 2x12-watt audio system includes DTS Virtual:X technology for sound spatialization that exceeds the physical limits of the speakers. Compatible with Dolby Audio and DTS:X formats, it provides satisfying sound for everyday use, though an external audio system is still recommended for a full cinematic experience.

The projector’s design takes on a compact lifestyle, cubed style that blends harmoniously into a contemporary interior without dominating it. The efficient cooling system maintains a remarkably low operating noise level (28 dB), allowing you to fully enjoy quiet movie moments without being disturbed by fan noise.
