Wanbo S5: Design
Wanbo S5 projector has a very beatiful design: stylish and futuristic. It has the shape of a cylinder and is available only in matt white. The dimensions are pretty compact: 14.00 x 14.00 x 9.70 cm and a weight of 800 grams.
Wanbo S5 is equipped with a leather handle for convenient transportation. In my opinion, the device looks like a small woman’s handbag. The build quality is very good.
The entire front panel is occupied by the speaker. Also, there is a lens with a sliding cover that protects the lens from damage and scratches. The side faces are empty, except the small buttons for securing the strap.
The rear panel has all available connectors, such as power, HDMI, DC, TF Card Slot, USB 2.0, Reset Port and Audio Port. On the bottom you can see a cooling system, or air inlet.
On the top there is only power button.
The remote control, which comes in the package, is quite compact and comfortable. I have a medium-sized hand, and it is not difficult to reach all the keys.

The declared life cycle of the lamp is up to 30 thousand hours in a standard mode. The native resolution is 854 x 480 pixels, and aspect ratio – 16:9.

The main feature of DLP technology is high contrast, and the dynamic contrast of Wanbo S5 is 1500:1. The colors are clean and saturated, the sharpness of the image is quite high.

We should say about shifting the image vertically by displacing the lens. The shift is small – only 10% of the image height, but with large image sizes this is quite enough.
The process of focusing, as well as the accuracy of the settings across the entire image field is very good. The stroke of the focusing ring is soft. But more importantly, when adjusting in the center, the edges and even the angles of the image are in focus, which is often says about expensive models.
