Valerion VisionMaster Pro 2

The Valerion Vision Master Pro 2 has basically no weaknesses. I’ve reviewed hundreds of projectors, and I can usually find something wrong with them, but other than some maybe overzealous contrast claims that are only achievable with full black and white patterns, the Valerion is absolutely exceptional. In 2024, the Valerion had the highest usable brightness, the highest color accurate brightness, the second highest native contrast, and by far the highest dynamic contrast. It covers 99.5% of the DCI-P3 color space with an SDR color accuracy of 3.12 average delta error. It supports 24p, all types of 3D, Dolby Vision, and IMAX enhanced, it has exceptionally low input lag, 1.2x optical zoom, great clarity, great auto focus and keystone, a built in aiming kickstand and optional gimbal mount, a useful remote, snappy processor for its Google TV operating system, and most importantly, it finished first in the side-by-side viewing experience testing in 2024. The Max’s biggest competitor is the Pro 2, which still performs exceptionally well, but for a lot less money based on the current sale prices listed on the Valerion website. So, if you don’t need lens shift or an external lens, it’s pretty hard to justify the significant price increase of the Valerion Max which makes the Pro 2 the right projector for most people’s home theaters based on value alone.
