Dangbei to Launch High-brightness S7 Ultra Max Projector at IFA Berlin
Berlin, Germany – Chinese manufacturer Dangbei will unveil its new flagship projector, the S7 Ultra Max, at the IFA electronics fair in Berlin next week, signaling a forthcoming global release following its July launch in China. The projector boasts an exceptionally high brightness of 6200 ISO Lumen, a figure considerably exceeding the 2000-4000 ISO Lumen typically required for dark or bright living rooms, respectively.
Dangbei attributes this brightness to a laser system utilizing 48 RGB laser units. Previously, the company cited a brightness of 5,800 CVIA-Lumen, a measurement often yielding higher values than the more stringent ISO or ANSI standards, making the new ISO Lumen claim particularly noteworthy.
The S7 Ultra Max is designed to fully utilize high dynamic range (HDR) standards like Dolby Vision and HDR10+, capable of displaying exceptionally bright highlights alongside detailed dark areas. To manage the heat generated by the laser system, Dangbei has incorporated a liquid cooling system, aiming for a quite operation level of 24 dB.
Beyond brightness, the projector features dual 15W speakers, a contrast ratio of 8,000:1, and support for HDR Vivid. It can project images up to 300 inches,utilizing a 0.98-1.6:1 zoom lens with automatic focus and keystone correction.
The device runs on Super Ai OS 6.0, based on Android 14, and includes Wi-Fi 6, a built-in voice assistant, and a 240Hz game mode.Wireless streaming is supported via AirPlay and other protocols. Connectivity options include HDMI 2.1 (EARC), USB 3.0, and USB-C. The projector is mounted on a 180-degree rotatable base for flexible aiming.
Currently priced at 15,999 Yuan (approximately 1920 euros) in China, the S7 Ultra Max’s price point is considered surprisingly low given its specifications. European pricing is expected to be announced next week.
