Chinese designers have outdone themselves with the K1 MAX 4K projector. It includes in its elevated base a table lamp, a really surprising and unusual design that we do not know if it will have any use.
As you can see in the image, this projector is mounted on a tripod stand that is capable of rotating 130 degrees, so we can project directly on the ceiling. The lower part of the projector is used as a LED lamp, with 3 light tones and it seems that we can control from a switch on the base of the stand. Additionally, we have a variant with internal battery that provides up to 36 H of lamp autonomy or 2 H of projection.
A projector with HD resolution, a modest brightness of 400 ANSI Lumens and driven by an Allwinner H713 SoC that is based on the Android 11 system. With it we can directly play any modern video format as we saw in our review of the SoC Allwinner H7XX, although as it has 1 GB of RAM the user experience may be limited.
Specifications of the K1 MAX 4K
This new projector features LCD technology, supports native resolution up to 1280×720 pixels, 10000:1 contrast level and 400 ANSI Lumens brightness. The focus and keystone correction are automatic and we can get a screen with dimensions between 20″ and 180″ placing it between 0.5 and 4.5m.
We will be able to control the system through the small remote control included and even use the integrated microphone.
Connections, multimedia and other features
Inside the K1 MAX 4K we count as engine with an Allwinner H713 SoC, a Chip that includes 4 ARM Cortex-A53 processors capable of reaching 1.9 Ghz and an ARM Mali-G31MP2 GPU with support for HDR10 and MEMC video technologies. RAM is 1 GB DDR3, storage is 8 GB and we have wireless connectivity Wifi 6 and Bluetooth 5.0.
