Nut X1 comparison meter H1 evaluation!

In China, the development of projectors has undergone several generations of upgrading. Under the background of the country’s policy of stimulating domestic demand and the continuous improvement of China’s per capita income, more and more families are also demanding the size of living room viewing screens. Increasingly large, but by the cost factor, the larger the size of the traditional color TV products, the price will grow into a geometric multiple. At the same time, with the development of the Internet intelligence, following the demand will have the law of the market, the projection industry will be born out of a new type - smart projector.

For the European Cup, the upcoming Rio Olympic Games, etc., users want to get more realistic, shocking events to watch, these are inseparable from the big screen display, and smart projection products are the best choice for such users, of course, there are some The brand calls itself a screenless TV.

In the smart projection industry, the two brands, nuts and poles, are almost recognized by the industry as top-notch brands, and they are also the two brands with the most “dry-up” in the smart projection industry.


I am not talented, in the projection circle has been reconciled for more than a few years, although I dare not claim to be the top fever, but the control of the color performance, functional applications, performance stability, audio aspects of the projection screen is absolutely confident beyond the general general user.

In order to allow more users to more intuitively understand the products of nuts and polar rice, I recently purchased a nut X1 and polar rice H1 from JD.com and Tmall respectively. The following two brands currently push the product from the industrial design, parameters, screen color performance, brightness, contrast, audio and other aspects for everyone to compare, look at the smart projection industry, the two big tigers in the end that is only paper paste .

Industrial Design: Lotus VS Cube In the industrial design of the product, the nut X1 was designed by the famous red dot design award winner, Chen Xingbo, and the product design concept was designed with the concept of “Lotus”, which combined “Gao Jie”, “Right” and “Lucky”. The "elegant" elements, including the use of lightweight anodized aluminum as the main body of the fuselage with solemn black injection molding, make the product appearance more scientific and technological sense, and can be more integrated into the modern home style.

Hamimi H1 is in the shape of a cube in the shape of the law, there is no aesthetics, but everyone's aesthetic ideas are not the same, so do not make too much evaluation in this regard. In terms of materials, the body of the Hami H1 is also made of aluminum alloy metal mesh, processed through multiple processes such as punching, sandblasting, anodizing, and pressure synthesis. The top and bottom of the fuselage are also made of plastic. . In the aspect of design, according to the introduction of the new H1 product launch conference, the design team of H1 teamed up with the well-known South Korean design team who had won the German iF design award and the German Red Dot Award. Build, and specifically what the design team did not disclose, compared with the nuts it seems a bit incomprehensible, and behind the scenes that South Korea's well-known design team in the end whether there is an estimate only inside the meter to know. At the same time, it also gives the user a big “?” in terms of authenticity.

The quality of industrial design is mainly reflected in various factors such as whether the product structure design is reasonable and whether the detail processing is in place. Because I am not a professional, I cannot comment here, but in terms of details, I personally believe that the details of the nuts X1 and H2 are very delicate, especially the nuts X1. Big style.

A product with a good-looking appearance and excellent detail processing is not enough to represent industrial design is perfect, in the later period of use, no problem is the focus. During the several days of using the nuts X1 and M1, there was no problem for the nuts X1. However, the absence of the H1 was very unsatisfying and I had to vomit. The black panel of M1 H1 is very easy to leave fingerprints during use. Whether it is sweat or dust, it is very difficult to clear it once it is left. This is still the case when I just used it for two days. Can you believe that if you use one month or even six months, the black panel will not become a variety of panels. So, as a whole, the nuts X1 should be slightly better in terms of industrial design.

Function: Nuts X1 victory over meters H1

Among the more important functions of the projection product, the nut X1 almost surpasses the meter H1 and takes the most practical projection ratio. The nut X1 has an extraordinary 1.13:1 aspect ratio, and the projection of a 150-inch screen requires only 3.75 meters. The polar meter H1 uses the most common projection ratio of 1.3:1. The projection of a 150-inch screen requires at least 4.32 meters.


A video-audio product for mass-user living room entertainment is more important than projection parameters. Projecting a larger-sized projection image is nothing more than two options, either changing the projection distance or reducing the projection ratio of the projector. In today's cities, where it is desirable to realize larger projections by changing the projection distance, it has been difficult to achieve projections. The superiority of the projection ratio of the nuts X1 is evident.

In addition, in terms of brightness, the nut X1 also wins in a weak form. The nut X1 is nominally rated at 950 Asni lumens, while the polar meter H1 is nominally at 900 Asni lumens. Of course, because the respective test standards are not the same, the official nominal brightness may not be used as a credential to decide who is good or bad, so I personally made a detailed comparison of the brightness of the two machines. The test environment is his private all-black audio room. The test equipment is a non-professional illuminance meter. The test method is Ansi lumens international measurement method (the projection screen size is 80 inches, 13 points are taken in the screen, and 13 points are measured respectively. The illuminance values ​​are averaged, and the final average value multiplied by the projected area is the international standard Ansi lumens). In actual tests, the average illuminance of nut X1 is approximately 921 Asni lumens (a 60-inch projected area is approximately 1 square meter, so the average illuminance value can be regarded as the Asni lumen value), and the brightness of polar meter H1 is 720 Asni lumens. Although there was a falsification of both the light meter X1 and the nut H1 on the brightness, from the test data, the value obtained from the nut test was only a few tens of lumens lower than the official label value, and the test value of the meter H1 was only an official label. About 80% of them are more serious.


The higher brightness value will be more outstanding in the performance of the projection screen, especially in the living room with external ambient light interference, the advantages of high brightness will be more obvious.

The important parameter of the projector is not only brightness but also contrast is very important. High contrast can bring better picture detail and layering. The official mark of the nut X1 is 30000:1 contrast, and the contrast of the meter H1 is officially marked as 10000:1. For this parameter, because I am not a professional laboratory, the specific values ​​cannot be tested, but I have compared them from the side using the method of “curve saving the country”. The method is very simple. That is, the dark field performance of the projector is tested, and the projector projects the same black screen in the same environment. Whoever has a darker product image can prove that the dark field performance is even better.

Through the test picture, we can clearly find that the nut X1 can almost guarantee the blackness of the picture when projecting the black screen, and the meter H1 has obvious whitening phenomenon. I can't imagine such an effect. Where's the courage to dare to mark the contrast to 10000:1.

Functional aspects, let's look at the focus, before watching a lot of users in the various forums Tucao nuts X1 auto focus, that is tasteless, useless. However, it seems to me that it is not the autofocus of the Nut X1 that is useless, but that those friends who are useless have not realized the benefits of autofocus at all.

First of all, the autofocus of the nut X1 starts at the start of the machine and the focusing time is approximately 15 seconds. As a smart product, no matter if it is a nut X1 or a very H1, the start-up time will not be less than 15 seconds. When the machine is fully booted into the main interface, the autofocus has basically completed its work, so it will not be like online. It also takes a separate time to waste time waiting for the machine to autofocus. At the same time, the nut X1 does not need to be automatically focused every time it is turned on. If the machine does not move the position during use, the autofocus function can be turned off in the menu. The polar meter H1 does not have an auto-focus function, so whether it is used for the first time or after moving the machine, manual focusing is required. Nowadays, all industries are emphasizing intelligence. I really do not want some users or people with ulterior motives to complain that products are not smart enough and they are not smart at the same time.

Picture: The color effect of nuts X1 is significantly better than that of polar meters H1

Color - for the projector is just as important as human blood. At the same time, it is also one of the important indicators of the fundamental performance of projection products.

By comparing the measured results, the color performance of the Nut Smart Cinema X1 in the overall picture is still quite good. In the comparison between the projection screen and the original image, it can be seen that the picture color of the nut X1 is slightly warmer than the original picture, but the performance in the picture level is very good.

On the other hand, H1 has no screen TV, the overall picture is cool, and the color of the picture is not bright enough. Because the performance of H1 in the dark field is unsatisfactory, the overall layering of the picture is much inferior to that of the nut X1. . At the same time, through the comparison of the projection screen of HMI H1 and the original image, it can be clearly seen that the H1 screen is too biased towards green and yellow, resulting in a feeling of being covered with fog on the entire screen.

Regarding the warm color of the picture or the cool color, the industry has always been controversial. Everyone has different preferences for color, so I don't have too much intervention here. For me, although the nut X1 has a slight warm color, it is still within the acceptable range. However, the kind of color cast that could not be said for Mimi H1 made me have to doubt whether the color tutor hired by Zimi had color blindness.

Sound effects: independent research and development PK Harman Kardon smart projection compared to traditional projector products, in addition to a more humane smart operating system, in terms of sound effects than traditional projector products with stereo sound more exquisite . The Nuts Smart Cinema X1 and Polar Meter H1 no-screen TVs come with "quasi-professional" sound systems.


Nut X1, according to the official introduction, its own sound system is to use the original (self-developed) 48mm dual speaker unit, aluminum magnesium alloy vibrating cone full-range audio; and in the bass is also used four super bass Passive radiators are distributed on the top, bottom, left, and right of the machine, respectively, and are arranged symmetrically. The Mi Mi H1 is based on the official introduction of the sound, which uses a 45mm dual speaker harman/kardon audio system tailored to the sound system, but in bass is also used by the industry has been controversial passive bass diaphragm.

However, from the official point of view, although the sound system used in the Nut X1 is not as famous as the Harman Kardon sound used in the Polar Meter H1, the acoustic performance of the Nut X1 is significantly better than that of the Polar Meter H1 in terms of parameters. So in terms of sound quality, who is better in the end? Thanks to my study and study of sound for nearly two decades, and after two hours of listening to the two machines, I personally felt that the nut X1 performed better in sound effects.

First of all, in terms of treble, the performance of Mimi H1 is not pure and clear. Once the treble exceeds a certain frequency (because there is no professional equipment test, the specific frequency can not be reported here), it will beep. The nut X1 performs very well in the treble section. In the same piece of solo solo, the nut X1 can perfectly represent the treble section.

Second, in terms of midrange, the nut X1 and the H1 midrange perform quite similarly, and it is almost impossible to tell who is good or who is bad through the human ear. However, in terms of the accuracy of the midrange, the individual feels that the nut X1 performs slightly better than the Km1. Of course, this is only a personal feeling and is for reference only.

Finally, in terms of bass, because the Nut X1 uses four passive super passive radiators, the Polar Rice H1 only distributes two bass passive diaphragm units in parallel on the bottom of the machine, and the “opening” of the bass passive diaphragm is downward. The design, the use of the machine, the bass part is very easy to be placed with the bottom of the table or the adapter plate resonance, of course, with the exception of the use of air lift or bracket. Therefore, in the bass area, the nut X1 easily kills the meter H1, just like a boxing match, and the two are almost not in one grade.

In summary: Although the Mi Mi H1 was earlier than the Nut X1 at the time of launch, both of them remained almost the same in price. As a consumer, the purchase of the Rami H1 before the Nut X1 went on sale is arguably no more than an option on the 1080P smart projection product. However, with the release of Nuts 1080P Smart Cinema X1, under the premise of the same price, due to the advancement of the picture and sound quality of Nut X1, more users may discard Mi H1 and choose Nut X1. For the comparison of these two products, at least I personally will choose this way.
