VAVA Chroma VA-SP003 4K Ultra-Short-Throw Triple Laser Projector Review

The VAVA Chroma is the company's 2nd generation ultra-short throw projector.

It's been almost a year since VAVA began selling their latest 4K ultra-short-throw projector, the VAVA Chroma VA-SP003. This projector is VAVA's sophomore follow-up to its first ultra-short-throw projector, the VA-LT002, which we reviewed in 2019. The VAVA Chroma is an ultra-short-throw projector featuring an ALPD 4.0-powered triple laser light source, Alexa voice control, and an Android-powered operating system. VAVA says it can project an image between 80" and 150".

While the suggested retail price of the VAVA Chroma is $3,499, VAVA often puts the unit on promotion. At the time of this review, VAVA Chroma was available for just $2,999 MSRP on VAVA's website. The selling price at several well-known big-box and online retailers can be found for a little less than MSRP.

The VAVA Chroma VA-SP003 is the company's most recent introduction into the ultra-short-throw projector space. VAVA introduced the Chroma on the crowdfunding site Indiegogo. The campaign raised an impressive $7.8 million, making it Indiegogo's most-funded campaign of 2021.

Indiegogo's most-funded campaign of 2021

When this projector was first announced, it offered a compelling list of features, including big sound from Harman Kardon speakers, a 60-watt Dolby-powered audio system, 2,200 ANSI lumens of brightness, and Android-powered intelligent capabilities.

At the time, the VAVA Chroma was the only consumer projector using an ALPD 4.0 RGB laser light source, but it's almost a year since this projector became available, and a lot can change in a year. In this review, I will closely examine this projector's features and evaluate its performance. Afterward, I'll discuss how the VAVA Chroma compares to its competition and if this projector is a strong candidate for your home theater dollars in 2023.

ALPD 4.0 The choice of professionals globally

The VAVA Chroma was the first consumer home theater projector to use an ALPD 4.0 laser light source, which the manufacturer claims can reproduce 106% of the Rec.2020 color gamut. ALPD laser light sources are some of the industry's best-performing systems on the market. Being the first consumer manufacturer out of the gate to use this technology in their projector was quite a feather in VAVA's cap.

Ten months after the launch of this projector, using an ALPD triple laser light source is no longer exclusive to VAVA. I recently reviewed the Formovie Theater ultra-short-throw projector, which uses ALPD 4.0 lasers. Multiple manufacturers feature other triple laser light sources, including the Hisense PX1, PX1-PRO, L5G, and L9G, as well as the Samsung Premiere LSP9T Laser TV.

The VAVA Chroma's brightness and contrast are competitive, providing a manufacturer-rated 2,200 ANSI lumens of brightness and a rated dynamic contrast of 1,500,000:1. I found different ratings for the projector's brightness and contrast depending on which VAVA materials I read.

The official VAVA product page lists brightness as 2,200 ANSI lumens and provides only a dynamic contrast rating. However, the user manual lists a higher brightness rating of 2,500 ANSI lumen and a native contrast ratio of 3000:1. Also, many large retailers list different brightness specifications. For example, B&H Photo advertises a higher number than Best Buy, whose brightness rating matches the VAVA website. Check out the performance section of this review, where I measure the brightness of our sample VAVA Chroma projector.

VAVA provides full 3D support in the Chroma, which I'm pleased to see. Projectors that use bright triple laser light sources usually do a good job displaying 3D content.

The VAVA Chroma is listed as a smart projector whose operating system is built on Android 9.0. However, the Chroma uses a custom interface that visually looks only Android-like. In addition, the projector uses the Aptoide app store, which is disappointing since many of their competitors in this price point have abandoned these hybrid user interfaces and utilize actual Android TV interfaces that provide access to the Google Play app store.

Netflix, Disney+, Paramount+ and Amazon Prime all failed to launch or work correctly.

The Aptoide marketplace is not my favorite source for Android applications. The quality of the applications is spotty at best, and there is nowhere near the choice of applications available on the Google Play app store.

Almost every streaming application I downloaded and tried to use crashed or experienced poor performance. However, Amazon Prime Video loaded up just fine, and I could log in with my credentials. Unfortunately, the content I played appeared to be DVD resolution, or if it was high definition, it was massively compressed, making content unwatchable. The rest of the streaming applications experienced some type of failure before completing launching.

Amazon Prime Video - Low-quality video experience

Netflix - Froze at the getting started screen

Disney+ - Got stuck in an update loop

Paramount Plus - Crashed before being able to log in.

I uninstalled and reinstalled or updated all the applications above with no change. I even tried rebooting the projector, but it did not help with app issues. Sideloading content was also a big failure. At this point, I just used my Apple TV 4K and Firestick 4K for testing streaming content and recommend you do the same. VAVA is aware of the issue and is working to resolve the streaming services app issues ASAP.

The VAVA Chroma features built-in support for Amazon Alexa, allowing users to control their content from the couch by speaking directly into the remote control.

Hardware

CHASSIS

The VAVA Chroma measures 21.34 x 14.88 x 4.62 inches which is dimensionally just a little larger than the previous model but much lighter at roughly 23 ½ lbs.

The design of the VAVA Chroma is a complete departure from the previous model. Outside of the same general shape as every other ultra-short-throw projector on the market.

VAVA opted for a more in-your-face design with a black chassis and a black cloth front which is accented by seven rows of chrome accents running the entire length of the left and right side, extending a couple of inches around both front corners of the face of the projector.

VAVA has also put a very bright four-inch power indicator light on the front of the projector that becomes visible at startup and shutdown. Fortunately, this light does disappear about a minute after the projector finishes starting up. I discovered that the light stays on once the projector is shut off. The good news is that there's a control to shut the light off inside the menu.

The projector has three feet, but only the two on the front are adjustable via wheels on the left and right sides.

INPUTS AND CONNECTIONS

VAVA_Chroma_PJBProdShot6 - Projector Reviews image

The number and type of inputs on the Chroma are identical to the previous model. VAVA has added a single Audio Return Channel (ARC) connection to HDMI input #3.

There are three (3) HDMI inputs. They are all 2.0 HDMI, with HDCP 2.2 copy protection. A USB is used with the media player and put in a USB thumb drive with photos or videos.

A 3.5-inch stereo audio output can feed powered speakers or headphones with a 3.5-inch AV input next to that. Next is a Digital Audio Output, and the last digital connector on the back, on the far right, is the RJ45 connector for the wired networking.

Lastly, there is the three-prong power cord receptacle.

BLUETOOTH

There are multiple functions with the VAVA Chroma's Bluetooth connection, allowing users to pair additional Bluetooth devices to the projector, like an external speaker, a keyboard, or a mouse.

The projector's speaker can also be used as a standalone Bluetooth speaker to play audio from external Bluetooth-enabled devices like smartphones.

LENS

Like most consumer Ultra-short Throw projectors, the Chroma has a fixed lens. The VAVA Chroma has an ultra-short-throw lens with a throw ratio of 0.233:1, so the unit an project a 100" image from just 7.2" from the screen. The chart below shows the throw distances for several screen sizes.

Diagonal Screen Size	Throw Distance
80”	3.3”
90”	5.3”
100”	7.2”
120”	11.0”
150”	16.7”

The projector has an adjustable focus to maximize the sharpness on different screen sizes. VAVA claims the Chroma can project an image up to 150 inches. I tested projecting an image on a screen as large as 120 inches, and the picture looked fine.

The VAVA Chroma's image was a little soft, especially toward the top-right side of my 120" screen. Using the motorized focus from the remote, I split the difference between the more in-focus bottom half and the softer top, resulting in a more even but slightly soft image.

The VAVA Chroma projector has motion detection, which will dim the picture if anything, such as a child, comes between the lens and the screen. Once the lamp is dimmed for safety, users must press any key on the remote, except the power key, to return the full image. This feature can be turned off in the menu if the user wishes.

REMOTE

The VAVA Chroma's remote control is a Bluetooth remote. Like the previous model, VAVA has chosen to forgo a backlight which is a big miss, in my opinion. That said, with the limited number of buttons, I could pretty quickly remember the layout.

On the top left is the power button, and right next to it is the microphone button for Alexa voice control. The remote control's navigation area is directly below those, laid out in a ring rather than four arrows. Inside the ring is the Select button.

Next is the Back button, and on the right is the Menu button. Right below, in the middle, is the Home button. To the right of the Menu button is the Input button. The last is a horizontal bar for Volume Up / Volume Down.

REMOTE

The VAVA uses a launch screen that primarily offers direct connections to the projector's inputs, the core menu system, and a shortcut to the projector's network and Bluetooth settings.

The core menu looks like they were trying to emulate an Android TV menu experience, which is fairly intuitive and easy to navigate.

The remote control gives users access to another menu similar to, but not identical to, the core menu's main screen. I'm guessing this menu is meant to be a shortcut menu to features VAVA considers commonly used. I did not find the number of steps or time I spent using the menu reduced with this additional menu.

Many other manufacturers have embraced a more unified menu experience provided by Android instead of just being built on Android. While I could figure out where features could be adjusted or turned on or off, the experience was frustrating.

VAVA provides only one CUSTOM menu setting; there is no way to apply changes to the other preset modes. For example, any changes I made while in the projector's STANDARD mode were applied to the projector's single CUSTOM mode without telling me to override any previous adjustments I had made in the CUSTOM mode.

PERFORMANCE

COLOR REPRODUCTION

As I mentioned in the introduction, VAVA is one of only three companies using an ALPD 4.0 discrete RGB laser light source which, on paper, gives this projector a massive color pallet to create images on the screen. VAVA claims the Chroma covers 106% of the Rec.2020 gamut.

Out of the box, the colors the Chroma displays on-screen run the gamut from powerfully oversaturated to excellent. The preset picture modes are overall cool and mostly on par with other triple laser projectors' out-of-the-box preset modes.

VAVA provides six preset picture modes for users to choose from STANDARD, FILM, GAME, TV, PE, and PC.

The FILM and CUSTOM modes feature a warm overall image. The rest of the modes lean more toward the blue tones. Typically, the FILM mode is one of the modes that many manufacturers adjust to provide the best overall picture, including color and contrast. Oddly, the preset picture mode providing the best overall picture was the GAME mode. Overall, the colors were neutral, and I found the presets contrast setting to offer me the best balance of seeing content in the dark and bright areas of the image while still getting a decent black level.

VAVA_Chroma_OverSat1A - Projector Reviews image

VAVA_Chroma_OverSat2 - Projector Reviews image

The left side of the scenes above are example of the red oversaturation I discuss below. The right side of the split is after I reduced the chroma to around 30%.

The VAVA Chroma would periodically oversaturate dark scenes containing some red hues. This did not happen with every dark scene with red highlights. When this would happen it did so regardless of the projector being fed an SDR or HDR signal. The only solution I could find was to turn down the CHROMA (Color) setting. Doing this greatly reduced the problem; however, the rest of the movie would be undersaturated. I could not find a good solution for when this happened. Fortunately this issue did not show up with the majority of content.

VAVA only provides one CUSTOM mode for users to dial in their adjustments. I recommend adjusting the projector to your screen and space for the best results. Be mindful that when you are in one of the other preset modes and think you are making changes to them, the projector applies those changes to the CUSTOMIZED mode, not the preset picture mode you believe you are adjusting.

We took the time to calibrate the VAVA Chroma. Since your room environment and screen material significantly impact the overall picture, we don’t recommend using another users calibration adjustments. If your room is brighter/darker or your walls are a different color, copying another users results can cause more harm than good. However, below are the before and after calibration results in our space.

We used Portrait Displays Calman color calibration software to test, measure, and calibrate the Formovie Theater.

Pre-Calibration Color Tracking and Grayscale

VAVA-Chroma-Calibration-Pre-Results - Projector Reviews image

All the picture modes were too cool out of the box, resulting in a blueish-looking image. The VAVA Chroma offers single-point RGB balance adjustments, which can be used to correct the projector's grayscale.

The projector's Gamma measured 1.77, which is brighter than our normal target of 2.2.

The projector's RGB laser light can reproduce 100% of the BT2020 color gamut, but the Chroma does not properly track the smaller Rec709 color space used in SDR content, so bright colors were noticeably over-saturated.

The Chroma does not have CMS adjustments, so color-tracking issues can not be easily corrected.

Picture Mode: CUSTOMIZED
Gamma: 1.77
Color Temperature: 9944K
Average Grayscale dE: 3.55
Average Color Tracking dE: 7.24

Post-Calibration Color Tracking and Grayscale

VAVA-Chroma-Calibration-Post-Results - Projector Reviews image

While the Chroma only has single-point RGB adjustment, they are very effective. Decreasing the BLUE GAIN while increasing the RED GAIN resulted in very good grayscale, and the average color temperature was 6550K which was very close to our target.

Since the Chroma doesn't have Gamma adjustment, we could achieve our Gamma target of 2.2. Reducing the BRIGHTNESS setting did result in a Gamma of 2.0, which will look fine in an environment with moderate ambient light.

Since the Chroma does not have CMS adjustments, we adjusted the projector's RGB balance, CHROMA (color), and HUE, improving the color tracking at lower IREs. However, brighter colors are still remained too saturated.

Picture Mode: CUSTOMIZED
Gamma: 1.98
Color Temperature: 6552K
Average Grayscale dE: 1.12
Average Color Tracking dE: 4.79

Delta E measurement of 3 or less is considered ‘Excellent’ and imperceptible by the human eye. After calibration, the projector had a grayscale average dE of 1.12, which is outstanding. An average post-calibration Color Tracking dE was 4.79 due to hue shifts and over-saturated colors. While the grayscale and skin tones looked good, bright colors were still noticeably oversaturated.

The VAVA Chroma supports High Dynamic Range encoded in HDR10 and HLG. Note that all the picture settings adjustments are shared between SDR and HDR. The good news is once the RGB balance is adjusted for SDR, those settings also work well for HDR.

When set to CUSTOMIZED picture mode, the Grayscale error was under 1, which is very good.

Since HDR content is shot in DCI-P3, which is closer to the Rec.2020, the color mapping issues are less obvious. Bright colors seemed less oversaturated than SDR content captured in Rec709.

The VAVA Chroma doesn't offer dynamic tone mapping, but HDR picture quality looked as good as other Laser TVs in its price range.

HDR RGB Balance

HDR measurements were great after calibrating SDR

SKIN TONES

VAVA_Chroma_Skintone1 - Projector Reviews image

VAVA_Chroma_Skintone2 - Projector Reviews image

Out of the box, the VAVA Chroma skin tones were just average. Most of the preset picture modes made skin look overly bright or yellow in the case of the FILM mode. However, with a little tweaking, this was easily adjusted. I recommend starting with the CUSTOM mode and adjusting from there.

As mentioned in the color section above, the GAME mode provides the best balance of colors, including skin tones.

BRIGHTNESS

I took 3-4 readings about 15-20% out from the center of the lens, which usually gives a pretty good approximation of ANSI lumens. I measured the VAVA Chroma in its brightest picture mode, STANDARD.

The VAVA Chroma measured 2,391 ANSI lumens which is 108 lumens less than its rated 2,500 lumens. My measurements fall right between the manufacturer's product website rating of 2,200 and the instruction manual's 2,500 lumens.

Picture Mode	Brightness	Color Temperature
STANDARD	2,391 ANSI LUMENS	9616K
FILM	1,570 ANSI LUMENS	9987K
TV	2,369 ANSI LUMENS	10418K
PE	2,374 ANSI LUMENS	10408K
GAME	2,372 ANSI LUMENS	10016K
PC	2,370 ANSI LUMENS	9985K
CUSTOM	1,459 ANSI LUMENS	9944K

The brightness of the measurements of STANDARD, TV, GAME, and PC modes were incredibly close to each other. FILM and CUSTOM modes were less bright but also very close to each other.

VAVA's rated brightness of 2,200 or 2,500 lumens, depending on who you believe, aligns with most of the similarly priced triple laser light source projectors that came to market in early 2022.

The brightness on this projector is excellent for a dark or even dim space, but even with the Ambient Light Rejecting (ALR) screen, it did not take much room light for the color to begin washing out and black levels to suffer.

BLACK LEVEL AND SHADOW DETAIL

Most ultra-short throw DLP projectors designed for home use in the past 18 months have similar black levels. Dark scene viewing wasn't bad. As a family projector in a living room environment, the VAVA will get the job done better than many other ultra-short-throw projectors in its price range. The VAVA chroma displays a decent amount of detail in the dark areas of the image. However, like many of the DLP projectors in its class, black levels on this projector are still darker gray if you want to see any details in the darkest areas of the picture. You can turn down the brightness to get deeper blacks, but that crushes out all the detail you would see by not turning down the brightness.

HDR

The VAVA Chroma supports HDR encoded in either HDR10 or HLG. Since most HDR10+ and Dolby Vision content is either backward compatible with or available in HDR10, you can watch most of the HDR content available on 4K Blu-ray Discs and streaming services. HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma) was developed for live broadcasts, so you can enjoy sports and award shows when the networks start broadcasting.

One of the many benefits of an RGB laser light source projector is its ability to reproduce such a large part of the BT.2020 color space. The manufacturer rates the VAVA Chroma to reproduce 106% of the BT.2020 color gamut. This has real value when watching HDR content. Reproducing such a wide-ranging color pallet allows HDR content to appear incredibly rich and vibrant, at least on paper.

I could see a difference between SDR and HDR content in most preset picture modes. Depending on the selected mode, SDR content could look anywhere from average to surprisingly decent. Put the projector in GAME mode and play Thor Love and Thunder, and it's hard to tell the difference between SDR and HDR. Project the same content in SDR STANDARD mode, FILM mode, or PC mode, and I saw a massive difference in the same movie displayed in HDR and SDR.

Check out the photos I've attached above, where I compare, side-by-side, some stills captured from the same scene, with the only difference being that the projector receives content encoded in HDR or SDR.

SOUND QUALITY

The VAVA Chroma comes with a 60-watt (30 watts x2) Dolby Digital sound system with Harman Kardon speakers built in. More and more ultra-short-throw projector makers collaborate with mainstream audio companies on their onboard sound systems. To be fair to VAVA, this partnership with Harman Kardon started with their first 4K Laser TV-style projector three years ago. They were one of the early brands that very smartly collaborated with established sound companies.

The Harmon Kardon speakers can get loud enough to fill a decent-sized home theater room. The projector's sound system comes with multiple preset modes for various listening options like MOVIE and MUSIC, to name a couple. VAVA offers a decent amount of mid-bass, and with the 3.5-inch audio output, users should be able to connect the Chroma to an externally powered sub-woofer.

If it's an option you can afford, I strongly recommend adding an external sound system or sound bar to any projector to allow the audio to match its image quality. If not, the onboard sound on the VAVA Chroma is one of the better ones I’ve tested.

AUDIO NOISE

The VAVA Chroma's cooling fans are quiet and do not produce excessive noise. The projector's cooling system is certainly not a distraction while watching movies; it is pretty quiet even when I'm sitting about seven feet away from the projector.

SUMMARY

VAVA_Chroma_Beauty1 - Projector Reviews image

A brand-new design with an impressive list of features

The VAVA Chroma is the company's second ultra-short-throw laser TV-style projector.

The VAVA Chroma is a triple laser 4K DLP projector that sells for a recently reduced MSRP of $2,999. This reduced price point makes this projector one of the more affordable discrete RGB laser projectors available today. At its new MSRP, the VAVA Chroma is a direct competitor for the Formovie Theater and the Hisense PX1-PRO. The Chroma uses a single-chip DLP imager and Texas Instruments XPR technology to reproduce a perceived 4K UHD on-screen resolution.

Its laser light engine measured 2,391 ANSI lumens of brightness, which puts its brightness smack in the middle of the 2,200 or 2,500 lumens of brightness that VAVA rates it as capable of producing.

VAVA_Chroma_Screen1 - Projector Reviews image

The VAVA Chroma offers potential buyers a range of advantages, including a new modern chassis design and the ability to place the projector 3.3 inches from the screen while projecting an 80-inch diagonal 16x9 image. This is almost an inch closer than the recently reviewed LG HU715Q.

VAVA lists the Chroma as capable of projecting an image up to 150 inches. While it may be bright enough to support a 150-inch screen size, the results of my testing on both VAVA's 100-inch Ambient Light Rejecting (ALR) screen and my 120-inch ALR screen leave me unwilling to recommend a 150-inch screen. This is due to a softer image and convergence issues in the upper-right portion of the screen. Stick with 120 inches, and everything should be fine.

The VAVA Chroma is built using Android 9 as its base, but the menu system is proprietary to VAVA and is not the standard Android TV menu system. While I found the menu easy to navigate, core features and flow are unique to this VAVA rather than being consistent with Android. This meant I had to learn where everything on the menu was again.

VAVA allows the user to adjust RGB color values so the projector can be professionally calibrated, which is great!

VAVA has chosen to use Amazon Alexa in this projector. Once set up with an Echo or other Alexa hub, users can ask Alexa to perform multiple tasks. Alexa can play a movie, dim the lights, turn on the sound system, power up the projector, and more.

The Aptoide application market has again proven to be a letdown for me. Aptoide did not offer all the streaming applications that I typically use. There were no Hulu or HBO Max applications. Netflix, Disney+, and Paramount+ were available, but none worked. Amazon Prime worked but would only display an unwatchable picture. Even the YouTube app crashed when I attempted to enter my YouTube account information.

The VAVA Chroma has a 60-watt (30-watts x 2) Dolby Digital sound system with Harmon Kardon speakers. The projector sound is very good for a built-in solution, and users can add a sub-woofer via the 3.5 audio out jack on the projector's rear. The sound system offers a decent volume, boom, and multiple preset sound modes with customized music, movies, and game equalization.

Setting up the VAVA Chroma is easy. The projector does come with keystone and corner correction. Still, as always, Projector Reviews highly recommend physically squaring the projector to the screen, as these tools can reduce brightness and introduce distortion.

The laser light engine is rated to last 25,000 hours. The VAVA Chroma provides virtually maintenance-free performance due to the lengthy laser light source lifespan.

The images this UST projector produces are good out of the box. But, of course, it goes without saying professional calibration will undoubtedly get you the best-looking image. A dark room helps, but the VAVA Chroma produces bright images even in rooms with low amounts of uncontrolled ambient light.

The VAVA Chroma is the lowest-priced ALPD 4.0 triple laser projector for sale. It holds the spot for Indiegogo's most successful campaign, so many people have chosen to make the Chroma their projector. This projector significantly improved over VAVA's previous 4K UST model. The Chroma provides 2,391 lumens of measured brightness and a more colorful picture that covers 106% of the BT.2020 color gamut. This projector produces big sound from its Harmon Kardon and Dolby Digital onboard sound system. It's easy to set up and use and, most importantly, is a great value. Does it have some issues around smart capabilities? Yes, but those are easily addressed by plugging in an Apple TV 4K or FireStick 4K Max and bypassing the abysmal Aptoid app store.

THE COMPETITION

Hisense PX1-PRO

The Hisense PX1-PRO is a Tri-Chroma (Triple Laser) 4K Ultra-Short Throw (UST) projector that sells for $2,999 retail price. The Hisense offers an excellently integrated Android OS experience with onboard applications that come from the Google Play app store…and they work. The PX1-PRO can display the same range of colors as the VAVA, offers eARC, and fully supports Dolby Vision. The PX1-PRO offers great onboard sound and much more, including a built-in television tuner.

The PX1-PRO has a manufacturer's rated brightness of 2,200 ANSI lumens, but our review measured its brightness at 2,341 ANSI lumens. The Hisense comes with a 2-year warranty like the VAVA.

Hisense PX1

The Hisense PX1 provides 2,000 ANSI lumens of brightness and does not support Dolby Vision; instead, it supports HDR10 and HLG. Everything else except for the color and one accent is the same as its bigger brother, the PX1-PRO. The RGB triple laser light source is 107% coverage of the BT.2020 color gamut. Full Android integration, including the Google Play store. Big onboard sound, eARC, and a built-in television tuner. The Hisense PX1 sells for $2,499 at retail.
