PixaPlay 53 LED Projector

The Zebronics PixaPlay 53 LED Projector (also identified as ZEB-MLP 5) is a smart and versatile home entertainment projector designed to deliver an immersive big-screen experience with the convenience of integrated smart features and automatic adjustments. It’s built for users who desire an easy-to-set-up solution for movies, TV shows, gaming, and online content directly from the projector.

The projector features a native resolution of 1280 x 720p (HD), providing clear and crisp visuals for a variety of media. It also boasts Full HD 1080p maximum supported resolution, meaning it can accept and downscale 1080p input signals for playback, ensuring compatibility with most modern video sources. A significant advantage is its 4K video support, allowing it to process and display higher-resolution content, though it will be projected at its native 720p. The light source is an LED lamp with a high stated brightness of 3500 lumens. While this is an “LED lumens” figure and not directly comparable to ANSI lumens, it indicates sufficient brightness for optimal viewing in dimly lit or dark rooms. The LED lamp has an impressive lifespan of up to 50,000 hours, significantly reducing maintenance and the need for frequent replacements. The PixaPlay 53 can project a large screen size, ranging from 102 cm (40 inches) up to 305 cm (120 inches), providing a cinematic scale to your viewing.

The “Smart” aspect of the PixaPlay 53 comes from its integrated Android 9.0 operating system, powered by a Quad Core processor with 1GB RAM and 8GB of internal storage (ROM). This allows the projector to function as a standalone smart entertainment hub, enabling users to directly download and access various applications. It comes with built-in app support and allows for Miracast (for Android) and iOS Screen Mirroring, enabling wireless casting of content from smartphones and tablets directly to the big screen.

A standout feature that enhances user convenience is the Auto Focus and Auto Keystone Adaptation (for vertical adjustment only). These automatic functions help ensure a sharp and perfectly rectangular image without manual fiddling, even if the projector is placed at an angle.

Connectivity options are comprehensive, including HDMI IN (for connecting laptops, gaming consoles, TV set-top boxes), USB x 1 (for playing content directly from pen drives or external hard drives), and AUX OUT (for connecting external speakers or headphones). The projector also features a built-in powerful speaker for integrated audio, enhancing the viewing experience. With its compact dimensions (11.6 x 14.5 x 15.7cm) and lightweight design (906g), the PixaPlay 53 is highly portable and easy to set up in various locations. It’s compatible with Windows, macOS, and Android devices, making the Zebronics PixaPlay 53 a versatile and user-friendly smart projector for modern home entertainment.
