Home cinema for seven thousand? This projector from Alza is discounted, has Netflix certification and Google TV

Home cinema for seven thousand? The Wanbo X5 Pro (New Edition) is available on Alza for 7,191 CZK with code AUDIOVIDEOTYDNY10. It’s not a miracle for little money, but after fine-tuning, it offers a surprisingly decent Full HD image on a diagonal of up to 100″, quiet operation, and a full-fledged Google TV system with Widevine L1 certification — meaning Netflix, Disney+, and Prime Video in full resolution directly from the projector.

Quick summary:
✅ It makes sense if you want a large image for your bedroom or living room at the price of a cheaper monitor — and you don’t mind watching in a darkened room.
⚠️ Consider that the image is mainly usable in the dark, sharpness decreases for diagonals over 60″, and digital zoom above 90% significantly degrades the image.
💡 For 7,191 CZK, you get a Full HD projector with Google TV, HDR10, Chromecast, and a noise level of only 26 dB.

What you get for the money

Brightness of 1,100 ANSI lumens is above average for an LCD projector in this price range. ASA 3.0 technology automatically focuses, corrects keystone distortion, and adjusts image size — just turn it on and the projector sets itself up. Built-in 2× 6W speakers with an acoustic chamber can handle regular viewing without external audio. A noise level of 26 dB means you won’t hear the fan even in quiet scenes — which is not a given in this price category.

The Google TV system with 2 GB RAM and 16 GB storage runs smoothly and offers access to all major streaming services. The Widevine L1 certification is important, allowing Netflix, Disney+, and Prime Video to play in full HD — cheaper projectors often only have L3, which means a maximum of 480p.

What to expect

1,100 lumens are sufficient for a darkened room. In daylight, the image is washed out — if you don’t have blackout curtains, the projector will mainly be used in the evening. Sharpness is good up to a diagonal of approx. 60–80″; for larger areas, it noticeably decreases. And a crucial tip from users: do not use digital zoom below 90%, as the image breaks down. Ideally, set the projection distance so that you don’t need zoom at all.

The remote control sometimes responds with a delay. The stand is not included in the package and is sold separately. The rating on Alza is 4.5 out of 5 — most users praise the price/performance ratio, especially for evening movie watching.
