I’m giving AI one last chance… in a projector - NexiGo TriVision Ultra

The video opens with Linus introducing the NexiGo TriVision Ultra as a portable projector that uses AI for automatic alignment, keystone correction, screen detection, and eye protection, all while promising strong performance for home theater and gaming. He unboxes the device, notes the heavy 300W power brick, and points out the multiple HDMI ports including an HDMI 2.1 input and a dedicated game port. The setup sequence emphasizes the device's smart display approach, where the projector can function with a Fire Stick or other Android-based sticks, effectively serving as a standalone display when not using a separate streaming OS. During testing, Linus toggles automatic features on and off, experiments with picture modes like Super Bright and Vision Night, and demonstrates how the device detects screen size and position, while also highlighting the eye protection feature and its limitations. The review shifts to real-world usage, where he experiments with color accuracy, brightness, and lag in various gaming scenarios, ultimately assessing how the TriVision Ultra performs under mixed lighting and with 1080p and 4K content, concluding that at the early bird price it presents a compelling value despite some tradeoffs in latency and optics. Throughout the video, the host authentically questions the marketing around AI features, tests practical aspects such as keystone correction, lag in gaming, and the ease of setup, and compares the device's performance against its stated specs. He explains the implications of the device’s 24 FPS mode, 3D capabilities, and the need to manually adjust some image parameters to optimize clarity. The unboxing includes the weight and form factor considerations, and the testing environment underscores real-world conditions, including light leakage and screen placement in a home theater setup. In the closing segments, Linus weighs the pros and cons, notes the value proposition of the TriVision Ultra at the promotional price, and provides final thoughts on its suitability for viewers considering a portable, AI-assisted projector for entertainment and light gaming. The verdict is nuanced: while the TriVision Ultra does offer an appealing blend of portability, feature set, and price, certain AI-driven claims require careful interpretation and user adjustment to achieve optimal results. Linus commends the absence of heavy built-in UI bloat and the ability to swap in any streaming stick, which preserves up-to-date app ecosystems. He acknowledges the device's strengths in brightness, color, and low-latency modes under specific conditions, while warning about misaligned expectations around auto features and the limits of input lag in fast-paced gaming. The video ends with a recommendation to consider the early bird pricing as a strong incentive, and a reminder to viewers to check the link in the description for pre-orders or further information.
