In the lower area we have a support to correct the projection angle if we are going to have it supported on a flat surface. If we connect it to the power and press the general power button, the logo at the top lights up in red, if we activate the projector from the remote control or the back key, the spotlight turns on and the top light will be green.

Noise level

The internal fan of the system is quite noisy, it is not strident but if we have a constant sound of the air flow that becomes quite noticeable. We can see on the meter next to the projector how we stand at 65dBA, so if we want to watch movies with peace of mind we need to move it away from the point where we are sitting.

  • Fan: Constant noise level 65dBA without adjustable speed.

VIDEO AND AUDIO TESTS

Picture quality

The VIVIBright F40 projector as indicated in its advertising can reach up to 300 “screen size, but being realistic it is best to stay between 60″ to 1.8m and 120″ to 3.6m. If we move away to get the screen Maximum size reaching 4m already shows the distortion, although the image is still acceptable.

VIVIBright F40 review f09 min

Adjusting the image quality as much as possible we have to say that the results are quite good, the colors do not have excessive saturation and the point definition is correct. Yes, we noticed that it costs a bit to leave the focus regulation perfect, but in general it shows that we are facing a 1080p projector at its definition level.

  • Definition: The quality of the detail is quite high and the points are well appreciated.
  • Uniformity: We have a certain lack of luminosity at the edges but it is not critical.

In the following video you can see and hear how the VIVIBright F40 works live, the image when recording it looks much brighter than what it looks like in reality but you can appreciate its general operation.

  • Power: 4200 Theoretical Lumens / For a good image, a semi-dark environment is required.

Video playback test

We test the internal player of the VIVIBright F40 projector, the system is quite limited and as we can see we can only read h.264 files of a certain format, in general it is not advisable to use the integrated player and it is better to connect an Android TV-Box or Mini PC in your HDMI video input. The integrated audio system with 2x 10W speakers is correct and we have a high volume, but since it is on one side the stereo effect is lost.

  • Video: Only supports old and h.264 formats up to 1080p.
  • Audio: 2x 10W / Does not support videos with AC3 audio format / Audio Jack / SPDIF

Opinion

As we have seen in our analysis, the VIVIBright F40 is a native FullHD image quality projector that has its positive points. We have been surprised for the overall image quality, with a fairly stable uniformity, definition of good point, colors and levels of adjustments allows us to have a correct overall quality for its price. Keep in mind that the internal player is not very useful and it is better to connect an Android TV-Box or external mini PC.

On the other hand, without a doubt, the VIVIBright F40 has a weak point in its ventilation system that is quite loud, the sound is contactable and can get tired if we are sensitive to it, it would be interesting to see how it would work with a higher quality fan. The integrated speakers are only found on one side, their power is quite decent and they are well heard, however it is advisable to connect it to an external speaker system located where the screen is.

In short, the VIVIBright F40 is a FullHD projector at a fairly tight price for what it offers. If we are looking for a projector with an FHD image quality, this can help us if the noise doesn’t bother us much.

Where to buy

  • The c projector can be purchased on Geekbuying.com at launch offer only for $179.99 (€164.29) with free shipping from Europe using the coupon 4KA1OWQ4.
  • To get the best experience is better connect an Android TV-Box or mini PC as a player.

You use the internal player? have the android version?
Compare the image with our video sample (big bad bunny h264 fhd), darkness in our unit is not a problem.
