When was the last time you went to the movies? This 4K triple laser projector with Harman Kardon speakers ensures you’ll never have to

Posted on 14/09/2021 by Sarang Sheth

I’ll be honest, in the one and a half years that movie theaters remained shut, I haven’t missed them. For the most part, every Warner Bros. movie in the coming year will simultaneously release in theaters as well as on streaming apps, and chances are Disney plans on doing the same thing, so you’re really not missing out on much… except the overpriced popcorn and noisy moviegoers. The only real gap in my at-home streaming experience is the fact that I don’t have a projector of my own, although if you’re like me, the VAVA Chroma makes a compelling case. The short-throw projector uses triple-laser technology to transform your wall into a massive 4K UHD display measuring over 120 inches diagonally, and dual 30W Harman Kardon speakers inside the projector fill your room with booming audio.

All you need is a microwave, some Orville Redenbacher, and comfy chairs and you’ve got your own at-home movie theater. The best bit? Built-in Alexa allows you to choose your movie, play/pause/rewind, and switch to the football match using just your voice… and unlike in movie theaters, nobody will shush you when you do.

Place it just 7.2” from the wall for a stunning 100” projection.

VAVA makes a few really compelling arguments on behalf of its cutting-edge projector. For its compact size, the VAVA Chroma can project a display that measures anywhere between 80 inches to 150 inches diagonally. While most projectors require a dedicated spot and careful placement and orientation, the Chroma is an ultra short-throw projector and can directly be placed against a blank wall, while it projects an image upwards onto the wall. As far as the image itself goes, the Chroma uses the world’s most advanced ALPD® 4.0 laser technology and a Red, Green, Blue Plus triple laser light source to produce a sharper 4K UHD image with HDR10, up to 106% Rec. 2020 color range, exceeding the color range of top movie theater projectors.

Projects immaculate detail and true 4K UHD resolution.

Uses ALPD® 4.0 phosphor fluorescent technology and 3 channel laser light source. It is 30% more powerful than ALPD® 3.0, which is still being used in the best movie theaters in the world.

Delivers 106% Rec.2020 which means it has a higher level of color accuracy than what you see in movie theaters.

The projector connects to your WiFi network and runs Android TV, supporting every single streaming app you’d find on your Android phone, tablet, or Chromecast, and even comes with three HDMI and one USB input just in case you want to hook up other devices like your laptop, set-top box, or even your PlayStation or Xbox. Two 30W Harman Kardon speakers on the inside fire rich, balanced audio towards the viewers for an immersive experience, and if that somehow isn’t enough, 3.5mm audio inputs and Bluetooth connectivity allow you to hook up your existing speakers to the VAVA Chroma.

While the smart projector does come with its own remote, it’s operable via voice too, thanks to built-in Alexa. Supporting integration with the rest of your smart home appliances, you could potentially just use voice commands to tell Alexa to dim the lights and switch on the AC, ask your AmazonBasics microwave to make you popcorn, and tell your VAVA Chroma to play Season 5 of Money Heist. After all that, do you really need to go to a movie theater anymore?!

Packing a fair bit of a punch, the VAVA Chroma doesn’t come cheap, but it is running a 50% discount on its Indiegogo launch day. While its retail price sits at $5698, it costs $2799 with the discount — which for a 4K ultra short throw triple laser projector with a 150” massive display and 60W Harman Kardon speakers, sounds like a pretty sweet deal if you ask me.

Vava’s 4K ultra short-throw projector is $840 off at Amazon

This portable SSD with a fingerprint sensor will make you cancel your cloud storage subscriptions

Posted on 06/11/2020 by Takashi Yamada

The best way to appreciate the VAVA SSD Touch is to take a trip down memory lane. Remember Pen Drives? Those thumb-sized USB sticks became all the rage in Y2K for transferring files, movies, and illegally downloaded music (don’t act like you never used Limewire). The problem, however, with Pen Drives were their limited amount of storage… an issue that was solved by External Hard Disks that hit peak popularity around 2010. These Hard Drives could store over a hundred times what a Pen Drive could, but they had a problem. They were large, came with detachable cables that often got lost, and most importantly, they had rotating discs inside which could go corrupt or get scratched without warning. That’s when Cloud Drives came to the rescue. Just store your belongings on a foolproof server somewhere in a nondescript location, and you could access all your data via the internet. A pretty convenient solution, although with three caveats. A. You needed a pretty great internet connection, and B. Your data could be accessed by anyone who pretended to be you, and C. You needed to pay a recurring subscription fee for this cloud-service to store your data… rent, basically.

Now that the history lesson is over, close those damn textbooks and take a look at the future of storage. Meet the VAVA SSD Touch, a pocket-sized storage device that’s high on capacity, high on security, and on portability. It’s sort of like we’ve come a full circle with the VAVA SSD Touch, but the idea is that this product builds on the successes of its ancestors. It’s as portable as a pen-drive, as spacious as a hard drive, arguably more secure than cloud-storage, and faster than all three of them. Measuring less than 4 inches, VAVA SSD Touch comes with a sleek looking metal case made from 100% recyclable aluminum, and solid-state drive on the inside ranging anywhere from 512GB to 2TB in capacity. Its slick metallic casing is punctuated by a blue square located on the front that gives the VAVA SSD Touch a layer of biometric security. Acting sort of as a password, the fingerprint sensor prevents people from accessing your data without your authorization. The SSD only unlocks after it authenticates your fingerprint, and you can program as many as 10 fingerprints into the VAVA SSD Touch, allowing your family, colleagues, or coworkers to have access to shared data… or better still, use a password to ensure more impregnable security.

Its portable format makes it infinitely easier to carry large amounts of data, and unlike a cloud account, you don’t need an internet connection to access your files. In fact, the SSD uses a USB 3.1 (Gen2) interface and has read/write speeds of up to 540/480MB/s, allowing you to transfer a file as heavy as 10Gb in nearly 20 seconds. Designed to be compatible with a wide range of devices, you can use the VAVA SSD Touch to transfer files between systems, take backups of your smart-device/computers/servers, play games on your console, watch movies on your TV, or even quickly take file-dumps from your camera or drone. With as much as 2TB of data, the VAVA SSD Touch gives you more storage than you’ll actually need in a format that fits in your pocket, locks with your fingerprint, boasts of a 3-year warranty, and comes at a one-time cost so you don’t need to pay monthly or yearly fees to Apple, Google, Amazon, or Microsoft for their cloud storage plans. Besides, you can even grab yourself one of VAVA’s 9-in-1 USB Hubs to completely revolutionize how you use your devices!
