After a successful Kickstarter campaign, Valerion is formally announcing its new premium projector, the VisionMaster Max, at IFA 2025. The boxy little projector offers improved contrast and brightness, but the feature that should be most interesting to home theater aficionados is how it tries to address the ">"rainbow effect" common in some cheaper projectors.
Cheaper DLP projectors sometimes display stuttery strobes of color when the projector's color wheel is forced to quickly shift between colors during fast-paced scenes. While these doesn't necessarily impede watching a movie or TV show, the rainbow effect can bother sensitive projector owners. The VisionMaster Max attempts to address the problem with what Valerion calls "Anti-RBE Technology" that "reduces rainbow effects by 99.9 percent." The company pulls this off by using software to blend the individual color sequences of whatever you're watching faster than the human eye can perceive, creating what looks like a seamless image.
Valerion says the VisionMaster Max also has an upgraded native contrast ratio of 5,000:1 and an AI-assisted "Enhanced Black Level (EBL)" contrast of 50,000:1 for improved depth and details in shadows. Valerion's dramatically named "NoirScene Dark Field Engine System" mixes stable luminance from a fixed iris aperture and an EBL algorithm to offer deeper blacks with less need for calibration. Combined with the VisionMaster Max's up to 3,500 lumens of brightness, it makes the projector even more usable during day or night.
The VisionMaster Max also carries over the adjustable lens system from some of Valerion's other projectors, offers support for Gigabit ethernet and Wi-Fi 6E and runs Google TV. Despite favoring Google's home theater OS, Valerion guarantees you can fully integrate the VisionMaster Max with Google Home, Apple HomeKit, Amazon Alexa, Control4 and Crestron smart home systems.
If that all sounds good, just make sure you're comfortable paying for a premium experience. Valerion says the VisionMaster Max will be available in October 2025, starting at $4,999.
