This is a mighty projector for the price. Great for home movies or sport without breaking the bank. Looks even sharper, clearer and much more indepth of colours compared to the photo shows. It’s 6pm and still very light outside. Sounds is decent. But plugged into hifi and via aux jack for a better quality. However for family movie night when you don’t have sound bars etc then it’s fine.
This is my third projector and it has some great features… including a nice self focus feature. The picture is sharp and the whole thing feels sturdy. I didn’t notice much noise from the fan and more than anything it is very easy to set up.
Set this projector up in my bedroom and even with the curtains open this projector is brilliant bright and easy to use.
The size was perfect for the small shelf I set it up on
And love the fact I can move it to another room if I needed
Great product A++
Product image quality is so clear, and sound quality is also good! Wish I bought this before. This was the second option after the first projector I bought wasn’t up to standard.
The picture quality and brightness of this projector in this price range is surprisingly good, very good contrast ratio. The optics geometry are such that to get the best image quality the projector has to be in the centre of screen, all things taken into account I think this projector represents great value.
Have had my Yaber ACE K1 for over a week now and I’m impressed. It’s build makes it feel like a much more expensive item, the sound is excellent and a crisp picture. It’s not a prefect, there is no optical zoom but at the price paid, in my opinion, it’s the best around.
Very surprised at the quality of the picture, and the distance I used it from gave approx 100 inch image on to a white wall. Used in a room with a dimmer switch which allowed me to reduce the light without sitting in darkness if I wanted – usually easy to do by swapping wall switch and light bulb. Very easy to set up and the image adjuster built in means that if the device isn’t completely level or straight on to the projection surface then it doesn’t matter as it can correct it. Build quality was good and ceiling mounted using a 3rd party mount. Having a built in speaker is really useful as avoids need for extra cables and expense. Very responsive supplier overall very happy. For the price, absolute bargain and quality. Used an Amazon firestick for content, images from YouTube and BBC iplayer.
I recently purchased the ACE K1 projector and was truly taken aback by the brightness and clarity of the images. It’s evident that Yaber’s dedication to top-tier technology shines through in their products. But, what made my experience even more memorable was the stellar customer service I received.
From the moment I raised a concern, the Yaber Team was attentive, prompt, and genuinely committed to ensuring my satisfaction. While there was a minor hiccup with my purchase, the team went above and beyond to offer a fair resolution, ensuring that my shopping experience remained a positive one.
The combined quality of the product and the unparalleled service I received only solidifies my belief that Yaber is a brand that truly values its customers. I wholeheartedly recommend Yaber to anyone in need of a superior projection experience backed by a team that stands by their products and their promises.
Our bedroom is a slightly awkward shape and makes it difficult for us to fit a TV anywhere without it getting in the way. To solve the problem, we bought this projector. Never owned one before so was a bit skeptical, but damn I’m so glad we took the plunge.
We have it on a stand, projecting straight onto our wall without any other modifications. The quality is superb, not washed out, crisp and clear (once focused) and easy to adjust so that the picture appears on the wall square (we have it quite far to the left). The built in speaker sounds good but I prefer to link my Bluetooth speaker to it, which is also simple to do.
After a few weeks the build quality seems great (doesn’t feel cheap and plasticy) but time will tell on how long it lasts. 3 year warranty though, which does give some peace of mind.
Overall, A+. I’d recommend it to anyone
Well I am very impressed with the yaber ace projector. I didn’t want to spend a fortune on a state of the art projector but didn’t want to cheap out and get a lower quality image. I can honestly say that this is the best of both worlds, great image for a great price. My photos don’t do the quality justice. If your thinking of buying I would go for it. No regrets and the support has been fantastic from yabe
The YABER ACE K1 is a great projector, especially for the price point, so my star ratings above consider how affordable it is. There will undoubtedly be projectors out there that are better, but they’ll cost a lot more. I replaced a top end projector which had served me very well for around 20 years! But the Yaber compares really well. The picture is bright, the noise when operating is perfectly acceptable, even when sat very close to the unit. Connectivity is easy via the HDMI socket and I’ve hooked mine up to an amp and larger speakers via the outputs on the back of the projector. The built in speaker is not bad, you can certainly hear it well, but for a larger room or the upgrade in sound quality you get from bigger speakers, it’s worth it. The image is clear, but I had to play with the settings for a while to get a colour balance I was happy with. But then you have to be realistic when comparing to colours you get on a modern TV, as the same quality of image on the screen size you get from a projector would cost BIG bucks. The only other real minor criticism I have is a small amount of blur in the corners of the image when using the horizontal correction. Due to the shape of my room, I can’t quite have the projector pointing directly at the wall at 90 degrees, so the horizontal correction is an essential feature and works well, but it does affect the focus a tiny bit from the centre to the edges of the image. But it’s not a big issue and I can certainly live with it. You don’t really notice much once you get into watching things. You can airplay your phone or tablet straight to the projector too which is a nice built in feature.
I purchased this projector in March 2023 I choose the Yaber Ace K1 because of exceptional value for money firstly and secondly it had to be able to show a good picture in ambient lighting.
I found the picture to be truly amazing. The controls are simple to use manual keystone or Auto keystone easy Bluetooth connectivity for my Bluetooth speakers
and IOS devices.
I had a query and contacted Yaber customer services my query was promptly dealt with.
Overall I found the product and the service to be excellent.
We bought the projector to use in an ambient-light studio for presentations. Now, the ANSI 650 isn’t quite enough to fight off the ambient light, but we have blinds and can pull them down when necessary. We wanted to wirelessly connect our Macs to the projector for ease and cableless integration, and this feature does exist using the iOS mirroring feature, which is seamless…great! HOWEVER…the resolution seems to be locked into 1280 x 720px (720p), and there’s no way to increase this unless you plug in the Mac directly to the projector (we used a USB-C to HDMI cable). This worked perfectly, projecting the 1080p picture as advertised.
So, if you’re a Mac user in the market to wirelessly beam your presentations like-for-like from your device, this isn’t quite the projector you need. Maybe more expensive models have a better image representation, OR you buy a device like a wireless HDMI transmitter and receiver (which look to be around 130 at the time of writing) which you may have more success with.
To test this, I think I’ll try the Chromecast stick I have hidden away in a drawer somewhere, and see if it’s happy to beam a 1080p signal from my MacBook via the Chrome browser. If it is, then it’s likely the HDMI transmitters are the way to go.
Hope this helps someone out there, as I couldn’t find this information anywhere, and it’s not advertised on the item listing!
The projector’s performance is very good, it is quite visible if there are some lights in the room. Auto AF correction could’ve been better. Overall on this budget I am satisfied with my purchase. Played some games, didn’t faced much lag. Will try for some more time and update my review. Add on excellent customer service so far.
I bought this one to replace an earlier model which I had used for about a year. The picture quality is excellent and so is the sound both in quality and volume.
Two minor quibbles which detract very little from this excellent projector. The mains plug is a bit stiff and fiddly and not as easy to insert and remove as the larger ‘ kettle type’ plug on the older models.
Also, as this is described as suitable for Amazon Firestick (among other streaming devices) it is a pity that it won’t stream sound from the Firestick without an intermediate HD video converter. They are not expensive so it’s a very small grouse. Just a bit untidy.
Good picture quality based on initial usage.. all remote keys not working
Received faulty product due to bad shipping but Yaber sorted all out.
Good quality for the price, brighter than expected also. Happy with the projector.
Loving the picture and sound quality! Even in daytime the brightness is so sharp. Kids are loving the cinema experience at the comfort of home!
Great projector. Easy to set up and good sound and picture quality
Vast array of settings, great picture quality. Best projector I’ve bought in the past couple years (4 others purchased, for reference)
After lot of searching i selected this. Very happy with it. Full marks on brightness, sound and picture quality.
I absolutely love this projector, it delivers way beyond my expectations for the price. Once connected to a Sonos Beam and Sub, it’s awesome!
Great image quality for the money. It’s much better than I expected!
Checked out you-tube reviews before buying a projector and this one for my price range came out too, very happy with what I now have great family viewing on a 100 inch screen.
Excellent customer service from Cathy at [email protected] who responded very quickly to an initial technical issue. The original projector that I bought through Amazon overheated and cut out – however a subsequent replacement works very well straight out of the box.
I just love the Auto focus feature of this product. No
more need to manually adjust the focus everytime i have to move the projector. The projector Output is pretty decent for a 4k projector of this range. I have been using it for a month now. I haven’t faced any issues so far.
Just got it but so far I am very happy with i
I have used it for couple of weeks & believe its one of the best in business considering its price range. I was lucky to get this during black friday offer. Autofocus & auto keystone are the best features which I have not seen in any of the projector in this price range. I don’t feel to upload picture as it will not do justice, you can project anywhere on the wall, it looks amazing. You have options to choose picture mode for changing brightness, color sharpness etc.Brightness is good enough if you want to use indoor in daytime. Support is impressive as they answered many of my queries within 24 hours. Remote control is super easy & you can setup the projector in couple of minutes. I have used HDMI cable so far & no issue at all in projection. I will be updating my review in couple of months after using it in more depth , stay connected 🙂
I have been using YABER for almost 2 weeks and so far I’m so satisfied with the product. Picture quality, resolution, and autofocus are really good.
Don’t think, just buy! Best projector for product quality, features and projection quality in 4k when compared with any other in the under 800 category. Very happy with this purchase!
I didn’t have high hopes as I’d tried a projector at this price before and found that the only improvement over my cheaper one was that it “felt” more expensive. The box it came in fell apart as I unboxed it which made me sceptical (probably to do with the weather in hindsight)
Anyway fortunately once plugging it in it I was really impressed.
PICTURE – top notch, I was sat 2 metres away and it was like being in a cinema. Great colour range and deep blacks, its a definite step up from my cheap projector.
SOUND – as with any projector you can’t expect great sound out of the box but its not tinny and has a good bass and to be honest I’ll happily just stick with the projector rather than bother plugging in extra speakers
SOFTWARE – very easy to use, quick and responsive. Had no problems using it without reading the instructions
IN THE BOX – remote – HDMI – power cable – RGB – everything I needed to plug in to my games console and get going straight away.
I haven’t got an ideal setup as I’m in an old house with no big flat white walls so I ended up having to use a window blind installed at the foot of my bed which is why having a projector with autofocus and a digital zoom is vital.
TLDR – Brilliant projector at a good price. Worth paying the extra if you’re looking between this and a cheaper model.
The image is great out of the box, it’s bright at 650 ANSI lumens and the colours look great too. It really recreates that cinema feeling at the comfort of your own home, even on a regular painted wall.
I’ve used both the HDMI and the Miracast, both work well and without trouble. My PC recognises the projector support for 4K and it’s easy for me to use my own media player. Miracast works really conveniently too, for when you just want to play some music or videos from YouTube.
The sound is truly commendable coming from a 15W stereo speaker, it’s loud enough and sports a punchy bass. The mids are a bit recessed but the treble comes out clear so you get that V-shaped signature sound. It works really well for vocals, pop, rock or most music in general, or when you’re not able to use your own speaker system.
I really like the design of the projector, such as a fabric top, grill-like design, and the turbine-like lid gives it a well made feel. I’m also happy that this is a closed system too, which hopefully means a maintenance and dust free experience!
I feel like this is convenient to set up and use, not forgetting to mention the great image quality. You really can’t go wrong here.
Excellent projector, I used to have an older Yaber projector and got this one as an upgrade , brilliant picture and colours , very pleased , buy one you won’t be disappointed
We are more than happy with this fabulous home cinema projector; brilliant picture quality, great sound, and so easy to set up and use.
My partner had wanted a new projector for some time, and had been keenly eyed up this ‘Yaber’ model; when he saw the generous price reduction, we couldn’t wait any longer. Now neither of us are ‘IT’ specialists, so we needed a projection that was easy to use, and this one is exactly that. We set it up in the back room where we have a large blank wall; simply plugging in, switching one, and then adding a phone, fire stick, camera etc.; and using either the remote, or the buttons across the top of the projector to adjust the picture, and volume.
The sound quality, without using any additional speakers is excellent; the picture quality, sharpness and colour also brillient.
My partner is delighted to have it in time for the World Cup football; now watching all the matches via the projection with the Amazon Fire stick attached at the back. He was also able to add the games console, so can enjoy gaming with our grandson, which both of them agreed that the whole experience was more enjoyable, with the projected larger sized screen.
Not only does this projector produce this excellent sound and vision, but also has a very pleaseing to look at; a fabric look, grey top, and a sleek, but solid feel to the unit. Both the manual buttons on the projector, and the remote control produce instant results. connections are perfect, we haven’t experienced any buffering; a problem we have experienced with our TV, ocassionaly.
I can guarantee you’ll won’t be disappointed with this projector; it certainly has exceeded our expectations, and would happily recommend to friends and family.
Wow, what a fantastic projector this Yaber ACE K1 is ! The projector looks great, its lightweight, quiet and delivers picture quality up to 4k. The set up is simple and it has auto keystone, auto focus and an array of controls to adjust picture quality.The quality is superb for under 500.
You can also connect it to Bluetooth, stream from iOS and android direct to your screen with no latency issues in a split second ! The sound quality is also really very good having a built in 15w speaker that delivers plenty volume and bass . Options are also available to connect the projector to your home cinema amp or plug in usb sticks etc .
Just a fabulous projector all round for less than 500, Check out my photos and video and see for yourself and buy it with confidence as at this price point it’s a fantastic and versatile for everyone to enjoy.
Just love it.
I’ve purchased the Ace K1 projector to recreate a home cinema experience but the item is also portable enough to take away. The projector is well made and looks really nice with fabric top. The built in speakers are great which means you don’t need another external speaker. The picture quality is very good and sharp with great colours and detail. My favourite feature is the auto focus and keytone. I can never get the focus perfect with manual projectors. But this is great as the projector auto focuses each time you use it. I found it very easy to setup and us following the quick start guide included.
A stylish and great performing projector that doesn’t compromise on features.
Positives:
+ Great image quality with native 1080p and great colours
+ Bright enough for daylight viewing
+ Effective auto focus and auto keystone
+ Fully sealed LED unit so should last longer than others
+ Dust proof
+ Best speakers I’ve listened to in any projector!
+ Dual HDMI and Dual USB
+ Quiet fan
+ Stylish case
+ Good price
Neutral
+ Slightly larger than other projectors in this range
There are no negatives to speak of, I can highly recommend the projector for home cinemas
Ordered this to convert a spare room into a little cinema room for Christmas movies and to watch the World Cup with the kids. Lovely crisp bright image, the auto keystone is quick accurate and makes set up a doddle, especially if you won’t have the projector in a fixed position or move it room to room. The onboard audio is better than I expected but obviously you can benefit from a closer to cinema experience by using one of the outputs to a sound system, personally I preferred cable over Bluetooth. The image is bright, sharp and the projector has a good selection of preset adjustments which helps with learning what to tweak to get the best image in your room. Image quality is just far better than you should expect for the price.
One,there just not that bright even for dark room viewing as at best 350ansi
Two, they have open optics so dust from cooling fans blows and gets into the system and onto internal optics. Results in black spots and display degradation.
Fortunately Yaber with the K1 have designed a closed optic engine to negate the build up of dust and it’s rated at 650ansi which having tested I can confirm is significantly brighter for dark room viewing.
The K1 has auto focus and keystoning which most will find very beneficial.
I have preferred to use manual 4P keystone adjustment with focus being corrected with the remote with my particular set up but both work fantastically.
The image quality for the price is outstanding full 1080p being fed by a firestick 4k that does actually detect that it supports 4k video so a crisper cleaner image can be had.
My screen is 100″ 1.1 gain and the brightness is excellent with cinema level lighting.
Whilst the K1 has screen mirror, Bluetooth WiFi etc not having a built in media player for me just makes it simpler to use the firestick and use the K1 like you would a TV
Can’t get any simpler than that.
Sound from 15watt speaker is more than adequate for most but audiophiles will want to attach a soundbar.
This is a 100% purchase you will not regret. Yaber have designed an absolute first class projecter that for the price point punches well above its weight.
Very very happy.
Bought to use when we go camping. Used in the house to test it out first and works awesome. Really high quality considering the size you can have the projection. Connected it to the WiFi straight away and plugged my firestick in and away I go simple as that. Was able to adjust the projection very quickly and the sound is actually really good considering it’s coming from the projector. I haven’t tried to connect my boom bar yet but with the Bluetooth it should be easy.If you’re looking for a budget projector, you can stop here. I highly recommend . You won’t be disappointed.
After owning a Yaber projector for over two years, being very happy with it and using almost every night to watch TV, I wanted a more portable unit to use at friend’s homes or when away, as my current unit is mounted on a bracket fixed to the wall.
This unit fits the bill perfectly, comes with its own carry case and strap making it easy to transport safely.
The unit has WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity, both are easy to connect and work well. A built-in speaker which has more than enough power to hear clearly without getting near to full volume.
The fan is audible but surprisingly quiet, it also doesn’t interfere with the viewing experience by becoming the over-bearing focus.
The sharpness and colours of the picture are nicely balanced and bright enough for use in a darkened room. As with most projectors, few are bright enough to see clearly in a daylight situation, this will require to be used in at least a semi-darkened environment.
The size of the projected picture can be adjusted by positioning the unit either nearer or further from the wall or screen. When the image is approx 2 metres diagonally, the resolution and brightness are still very good.
Keystone adjustment for when the unit is not level, can be made in the general settings option on the home screen. Adjustment is sufficient for a realistic angle from the horizontal.
This projector is perfect for using in the garden, on the dining table and when camping, glamping or caravaning. A very good all round portable unit, which is also not too expensive.
This is a chunky projector! It feels big and well built. There are
however a few minor tweaks that could be made to make it better. One small note about the
lenscap, the lens has to be all the way out to attach, this is something that I hadn’t noticed.
The projector has a standard tripod thread underside towards the front lens which makes it
perfect for placing on a mini stand on a solid table or desk. Due to the position of the thread
and the weight of the projector, I personally wouldnt want to attach it directly to a stand
without having some kind of tray or support for the projector to sit on due to it being weighty.
Functions:
This projector has every function you could possibly need. It can be connected
wirelessly over wifi or bluetooth, android or apple as well as having two hdmi & usb
connections for hard drives, laptops etc.
The media browser is nice and simple to use, and plays a big variety of file formats.
The settings options are extremely simple to use and cover any modifications you would
need. One thing that did take a minute to figure out however is that the wifi network settings
are not in the main settings. These settings are in the connect to device option from the main
screen. This is not a big deal once you know where to find them, but instinctively you do look
in the settings option.
Image Quality:
By far the best thing about this projector is the image quality. It’s absolutely
fantastic straight out of the box. The image is superbly sharp and the colours are bright and
vivid. The overall brightness of the image is also outstanding! Ive been projecting onto a
plain white wall ( light grey screens are usually better for image quality due to the light spill.),
however this projector is fantastic and I didnt notice any light spill that like I have with many
other projectors.
I blew the image up to the largest wall I have available at around 10ft wide and it was
awesome!
Accessories:
The projector comes with a really nice transportation bag, its seems to be
extremely well made and I would compare it to a gaming laptop bag. It has plenty of space
inside for additional cables, dongles and other peripheral devices like hard drives. The
backpack straps allow for easy carrying anywhere and are a nice touch
I have been looking for a projector for some time now. As you can see from the photos we have very large walls in our new apartment and thought a projector would be a better way to enjoy movies! I have been extremely impressed with this projector. The image quality is very sharp and it is easy to focus the project. Most importantly the brightness of the projected image is very good, even at a distance of 15ft and with lights on in the same room (as you can see in the images!). The projected image size was well over 250inches (that’s a 55 inch TV below it for comparison). The sound through the projector is more than adequate but I like that you can connect Bluetooth headphones as an audio output device which allows me to enjoy gaming at full volume with a massive image without disturbing anyone.
The projector was very easy to set up and playing media from USB or HDMI was very easy. I also did not realise the projector included airplay and so I can stream directly from my laptop or phone which makes watching a film quickly or playing games on the big screen very easy.
I’ve also added a video showing the quality of the projector for live sport. Watching the F1 on the projector has made the viewing experience much more enjoyable!
