The Xming Q5 Neo projector has made its debut in China. This is a more affordable version featuring a 1080p resolution (1,920 x 1,080 px). Xming claims that it can project images ranging from 40 to 150 inches in size (approximately 102 to 381 cm). For an image size of 80 inches (about 203 cm), the throw ratio stands at 1.22:1.
Brightness and Features
Equipped with an LED light source, the Q5 Neo is said to offer brightness up to 300 CVIA lumens; however, it's not clear how this measurement compares to internationally recognized standards like ISO or ANSI lumens. The projector is compatible with 4K content and features a 16:9 aspect ratio along with a contrast ratio of 2,600:1. Users can easily enhance the image quality thanks to autofocus, automatic keystone correction, screen alignment, and obstacle avoidance functions. Operating on Android 9.0 with an iQiyi interface, it allows screencasting via Miracast or Apple AirPlay. It includes connectivity options like Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.3, and you can also connect devices using HDMI 2.0 and USB 2.0 ports. Notably, it seems that the device lacks built-in speakers.
Design and Pricing
The compact design measures 161.5 x 113 x 186 mm (in inches) and comes with a metal gimbal stand that can rotate 360° vertically. Xming is currently offering the Q5 Neo projector in China at a promotional price of CNY 699 (around $97), while the regular retail price is listed as CNY 999 (approximately $139). It remains uncertain if the company plans to introduce a similar model in other regions under its international Formovie brand. In the United States, you can already purchase projectors such as the Formovie Xming Page One, which is priced at $329 on Amazon.
