After much delay, the long-awaited Valerion VisionMaster Max has finally been released. It serves as the flagship model in the VisionMaster lifestyle projector lineup, offering the highest level of performance in the series. Building on the features and strengths of its smaller siblings, the Max delivers enhanced overall performance.
The VisionMaster Max, announced on October 10, 2024, alongside the launch of the Kickstarter campaign for the VisionMaster series of projectors, serves as the flagship model of the lineup. While the VisionMaster series is generally classified as a lifestyle projector, it has also achieved significant success as a dedicated home cinema option thanks to its impressive feature set and performance.
Building on this foundation, the VisionMaster Max introduces standout features such as an iris, motorized vertical lens shift, and enhanced contrast performance. Following the strong showing of the VisionMaster Pro 2, as noted in our review from March 11, 2025, the Max is positioned to surpass the Pro 2's performance, further fueling excitement for its release.
Features
The Valerion VisionMaster Max, after slight delays in its release window, has finally made its way into the hands of projection enthusiasts following much anticipation. Building upon the groundwork established by the Valerion VisionMaster Pro 2, which Projector Central reviewed in early 2025, the Max raises the bar by delivering higher performance at an accessible price point of $4,999. During Valerion's launch event, however, it was available for a very appealing $3,999—a $1,000 discount offered to those who placed a $100 deposit. This promotion ran from September 29, 2025, through November 2, 2025. Once the promotion ended, the MSRP of the VisionMaster Max reverted to $4,999.
The VisionMaster Max features an impressive set of specifications, boasting 3,500 ISO lumens from its RGB triple-laser light source, which enables wide gamut coverage of the Rec.2020 color space and excellent brightness performance.
During testing, the VisionMaster Max measured 3,421 ANSI lumens in Standard mode with Brightness Enhancer enabled on the High setting—just 2.25% below the published specification. Without Brightness Enhancer enabled, it measured 2,533 ANSI lumens, which is 25.98% below the stated specification.
While the Brightness Enhancer feature allows the VisionMaster Max to approach its advertised lumen output, it introduces a strong green bias, making it unsuitable for accurate content viewing. Additionally, Brightness Enhancer is tied to the iris function on the VisionMaster Max. This means that if the iris is enabled in any of its three available modes—Cinema 1, Cinema 2, or Manual—the Brightness Enhancer becomes unavailable for selection.
The VisionMaster Max employs a Texas Instruments 0.47-inch DMD DLP chipset as its display technology, paired with an RGB triple-laser light source, delivering up to 25,000 hours of viewing enjoyment. With its chipset, the VisionMaster Max is technically a native 1080p projector that uses pixel shifting to achieve the full UHD 4K (3840 × 2160) resolution of 8.29 million pixels.
The projected image produced by the Max is exceptionally sharp and detailed. However, because it is a single-chip DLP device, it is susceptible to the rainbow effect, which I did notice during my viewing. The VisionMaster Max includes an RBE Reduction feature designed to minimize this effect. While it did help, enabling the feature introduced a high-pitched whine, so I ultimately chose not to use it. I also did observe some mild laser speckle during my viewing as well projecting onto a StudioTek 130 G4 screen.
The VisionMaster Max, as stated previously, projects an incredibly sharp image and employs an impressive optical system not typically found in projectors of this class. It features an increased fully optical zoom range of 0.9-2.0:1, compared to the Pro 2's 0.9-1.5:1. While the expanded throw ratio is a welcome improvement, the range is still somewhat limited; as with most lifestyle projectors, placement may or may not pose an issue for some users.
The VisionMaster Max also includes a very generous, fully motorized vertical lens shift with a ±105% offset, making setup and alignment exceptionally easy. However, it would have been nice to see horizontal lens shift included as well. While the VisionMaster Max is lacking horizontal lens shift the included vertical lens shift is smooth and controls very well. Additionally, the focus on the Max seems to have been refined compared to the Pro 2 and functions very smoothly and is granular.
Another standout feature uncommon among lifestyle projectors is the VisionMaster Max's six-level iris system. The iris blades and inner barrel are coated black to help absorb stray light. Each iris step reduces light output by a small percentage and each step the percentage is slightly larger for that step, ultimately enhancing contrast when engaged. Once the iris reaches level 6, a color shift occurs due to a change in the white balance. In testing, the trade-off between increased contrast and reduced brightness at level 6 was not worthwhile. The ideal range appears to be levels 2 through 4, with level 3 offering the best overall balance of contrast enhancement and light output.
The projector also includes two additional iris presets—Cinema 1 and Cinema 2—which seem to correspond closely to or fall between the manual settings. Cinema 1 appears to sit between levels 3 and 4, while Cinema 2 mirrors level 6.
Lastly, the VisionMaster Max will support external lenses, allowing for increased throw distance and anamorphic lenses for users with CinemaScope screens. While these accessories are not yet available and no release date has been announced, Valerion plans to offer them for purchase separately.
Valerion's standout feature in its VisionMaster projectors is the Enhanced Black Level (EBL) technology an impressive addition that's rarely found in this class of projector. The published specification lists the VisionMaster Max's contrast ratio at 50,000:1; however, in our testing, it achieved a maximum of 28,660:1. While this falls short of the stated figure, it is still very impressive for this class of projector. Users can expect to achieve a native contrast ratio out of the box (OOTB), depending on picture mode, and setup of 2,100:1 and 4,100:1. When increasing the throw distance and employing EBL and the iris together, the contrast ratio ranges from approximately 10,500:1 up to around 28,500:1.
While the contrast performance with EBL enabled is impressive, there are still some drawbacks that suggest that the feature could use further refinement. Starting with EBL Low, activation appears to be slower, and its operation was occasionally visible. Although not overly distracting, it was noticeable, and I could still perceive a slight color shift. With EBL High, activation was faster, but this came with trade-offs a more pronounced color shift and increased clipping in highlights and bright on-screen elements. On the positive side, the implementation seems somewhat improved compared to my experience with the Pro 2. Ultimately, I found the best balance by using EBL Low in combination with Iris setting 3.
The VisionMaster Max offers excellent gamut coverage of the Rec. 2020 color space, just like the Pro 2. Valerion's published specifications list coverage at 110% of Rec. 2020; however, our measurements showed actual coverage of 94.32% (xy) and 96.66% (uv) a small improvement over the Pro 2. The color mapping was quite good for Rec. 2020 as well as for P3 in 2020 and 709 in 2020 which both measured 100% for their respective color gamuts when measured.
The VisionMaster Max supports Dolby Vision and HDR10+ formats, along with Valerion's own dynamic tone-mapping solution. While all three perform well, the DTM solution in the VisionMaster Max exhibited slight clipping with content 2,000 nits up and did not fully resolve expected highlight detail. That said, it handled 1,000-nit content very effectively. Despite some clipping, overall HDR performance was strong, outperforming many dynamic tone-mapping implementations found in most lifestyle projectors today.
The VisionMaster Max weighs 16.5 pounds and measures 10.2 x 7.3 x 9.2 inches (WHD), making it slightly larger than the Pro 2. As a lifestyle projector, the VisionMaster Max can be placed in a variety of locations without much difficulty thanks to its compact size. With its optical zoom and motorized vertical lens shift, the Max offers greater flexibility in placement and throw distance. It can project images ranging from 40 inches up to 300 inches diagonally, so users should plan their installation accordingly. While the Max includes both manual and automatic keystone correction, as well as trapezoid correction, it is generally recommended to avoid using these features whenever possible to maintain optimal image quality. To determine the appropriate throw distance for your desired screen size, you can use the ProjectorCentral Valerion VisionMaster Max projection calculator.
The VisionMaster Max houses a pair of built-in 12W stereo speakers that perform surprisingly well, making the Max suitable for temporary setups. With support for both DTS:X and Dolby Atmos, as well as eARC, the Max should meet most users' needs—though ideally, it will be paired with a dedicated external sound system for optimal audio performance.
The VisionMaster Max runs on Google TV with Android TV OS 12, a more refined version of the operating system that offers improved functionality over previous iterations. The Google TV platform also enables access to Chromecast, AirPlay, screen mirroring, and the Google Play Store, which includes certified versions of Netflix, YouTube, Prime Video, Disney+, Max, and more. Furthermore, this iteration of Google TV handles dynamic range correctly and automatically applies the appropriate color space based on the content being viewed.
The VisionMaster Max is a highly capable gaming projector thanks to its low latency. It can be used for both casual and semi-competitive gaming, depending on the framerate being output. The Valerion Max delivers performance comparable to that of dedicated gaming projectors, with Valerion listing its latency at 4ms for 1080p/240Hz, 8ms for 1080p/120Hz, and 15ms for 4K/60Hz.
Our measurements, taken while using Instant Game Response, High Refresh Rate Mode, and DLP Turbo Mode, were as follows:
- 1080p/60Hz: 18ms
- 1080p/120Hz: 11ms
- 1080p/240Hz: 5ms
- 4K/60Hz: 18ms
- 4K/120Hz: 11ms
Overall, these results are excellent and confirm that the Valerion Max can deliver an outstanding gaming experience.
The rear I/O panel on the VisionMaster Max is concealed behind a door that opens downward to reveal the connectors and power input. While this design provides a clean and streamlined appearance when closed, the door must remain open during use to access the power connection.
The Valerion Max's I/O configuration includes three HDMI ports: two full-bandwidth HDMI 2.1 ports supporting 48 Gbps with 12G @ 4L for FRL on ports 1 and 2 and a third HDMI 2.1 port that features eARC support. Additionally, there are two USB ports: one USB 3.0 Type-A and one USB 2.0 Type-A, both supporting media playback and power delivery.
Users will also find an S/PDIF optical audio output and a 3.5mm headphone jack. Lastly, the VisionMaster Max includes a 1 Gbps RJ-45 Ethernet port, which is a welcome inclusion since many devices in this class only offer a 100Base-T connection.
The included remote is partially backlit, illuminating when any button is pressed. It is responsive and functions well, offering quick-access buttons for popular built-in streaming apps, voice control, autofocus, and an AI button for accessing AI-driven features. I would have preferred the remote to be fully backlit and to include a customizable button that users could map to a function or feature of their choice. Lastly, the VisionMaster Max supports 3D playback and performs well in this area, delivering a bright image—especially when paired with Valerion's glasses, which are noticeably not as dark as other 3D glasses I've used.
Performance
The VisionMaster Max offers a wide variety of picture modes for both SDR and HDR content. It includes a total of seven picture modes for SDR, eight for HDR, three for Dolby Vision, and four for HDR10+. Each picture mode can be configured independently, with its own memory settings, allowing users to tailor image preferences separately for SDR and HDR viewing.
For SDR, the available picture modes include Vivid, Standard, Sports, PC/Game, Energy Saving, Theater, and Filmmaker. HDR10 modes share the same names but use an "HDR" prefix. However, PC/Game is renamed HDR Game, and an additional IMAX Enhanced mode is also available. HDR10+ picture modes follow a similar naming convention with the "HDR10+" prefix and include Vivid, Game, Standard, and Theater. Dolby Vision provides Bright, Dark, and Custom picture modes.
When using the built-in Google TV smart platform, the PC/Game and HDR Game picture modes are not available for selection.
The VisionMaster Max offers a full suite of calibration controls, allowing viewers to adjust standard picture settings such as contrast, black level, color, hue, and sharpness. In addition, it provides advanced options for white balance and color management through offset and gain settings, 20-point white balance adjustment, gamma controls, and a Color Management System (CMS) for fine-tuning hue, saturation, and luminance across both primary and secondary colors.
The VisionMaster Max includes four gamma presets—2.0, 2.2, 2.4, and BT.1886—all of which track accurately to their respective targets. These can be further refined using the 20-point gamma controls available within the VisionMaster Max.
The Enhanced Black Level (EBL) feature offers two settings, Low and High, and can also be disabled entirely. To enable EBL, the laser luminance must be set to level 6 or higher; any setting below 6 disables the feature. When engaged, EBL significantly improves the unit's overall contrast performance. However, as mentioned earlier, some users may notice artifacts when it is active.
The Low setting activates slower, which can make its operation more noticeable to some viewers, but it produces a subtler color shift and has less clipping in image highlights. The High setting activates faster but introduces stronger color shifts and more highlight clipping. While the feature is effective, it could benefit from additional refinement. That said, it appears to be improved overall compared to when I originally reviewed the VisionMaster Pro 2.
During testing, I found the Low setting preferable when using EBL, as the artifacts introduced by the High setting were too distracting for my taste.
Out of the box, the VisionMaster Max looked good, though its white point required adjustment, as the image appeared slightly off with an excess of red. Starting with the Filmmaker picture mode, I cycled through the available color temperature options. None delivered the desired balance with each either appearing too blue or too red. Ultimately, Warm 1 provided the best starting point for watching content, whether in the Filmmaker or Theater picture modes.
Additionally, users planning to calibrate the VisionMaster Max should consider using a different Color Matching Function (CMF), perceptually matching the display to another reference, or their preferred alternate white point, as targeting the standard D65 coordinate may not produce an accurate visual result.
I calibrated the VisionMaster Max with Calman Ultimate calibration software from Portrait Displays, a Colorimetry Research CR-300 Spectroradiometer, a Colorimetry Research CR-100 Colorimeter and a Murideo 8K Seven Generator. The VisionMaster Max was calibrated to a 100-inch diagonal screen size on a Stewart Filmscreen StudioTek 130 G4 projection screen.
The pre-calibration measurements for the VisionMaster Max showed high dE errors OOTB using the Filmmaker picture mode. (DeltaE is the metric used to determine visible errors. It has been determined that anything over a dE of 3 is visible, anything over 2.3 is a just noticeable difference for trained eyes and anything below 2.3 should ideally not be seen to the eye.) Average readings for SDR for Grayscale averages were 8.4dE due to the excessive red in the image, 10% saturation sweeps averaged 4.4dE with and the standard Color Checker measuring approximately 47 patches averaged 2.4dE. While the errors appear high, it is primarily due to the white point, which ultimately impacts hue and saturation of all color. HDR averaged 8.5dE in the grayscale, 8.1dE in color checker, and 7.1dE for 20% saturation sweeps in BT.2020.
The VisionMaster Max gamut coverage measured 99.28% xy and 99.63% uv for DCI-P3, while BT.2020 coverage measured 94.32% xy and 96.66% uv. As stated previously, depending on setup the native contrast ratio of the Valeion Max is be between 2,100:1 and 4,100:1, as the max native contrast ratio I was able to achieve was 4,143:1. When utilizing EBL together with the Iris the max dynamic contrast I was able to achieve was 28,660:1.
I targeted the industry-standard D65 neutral gray white point using the Gain controls, and utilized the full CMS controls for calibration. However, due to how D65 was visually perceived, I opted to perceptually match the VisionMaster Max and calibrate to a custom target.
The post-calibration DeltaE errors improved for both SDR and HDR. In Filmmaker picture mode for SDR, the final grayscale average was 0.6dE, with a maximum of 1.3dE. A large 150+ patch Color Checker measured an average of 1.3dE with a maximum of 4.5dE. Saturation sweeps at 5% increments showed an average of 1.1dE and a maximum of 3.8dE.
Post-calibration HDR results, using the HDR Filmmaker picture mode, showed an average of 5.2dE for grayscale, while color checker had an average of 3.1dE, and 20% saturation sweeps in BT.2020 averaged 6.3dE.
The VisionMaster Max does also still exhibit the desaturation seen in the Pro 2 of red and blue at low luminance. This results in heavy desaturation of these colors at 10% stimulus and lower.
The devices I used for reviewing content post calibration were an Oppo UDP-203 Blu-ray player and AppleTV 4K.
1080p/SDR. The first movie I watched in SDR was The Wolf of Wall Street on Blu-ray. The Valerion performed well with this film, delivering good color reproduction and natural-looking skin tones. This was especially apparent in the beach house party scene that takes place after Jordan's conversation with his father, Max, in his office about marriage. The various party attendees appeared natural, and the colors of their clothing were accurately rendered. The image was also very sharp and detailed. Only a hint of the rainbow effect was visible during Jordan and Naomi's drive back from dinner, particularly when crossing the bridge, as minor highlights on the car and random lights on the street exhibited this extremely mild effect. Overall, the Valerion Max performed well.
4K/HDR10/DolbyVision. Similar to when I reviewed the VisionMaster Pro2, I started with checking the same tests I did previously with the VisionMaster Max using the the Spears & Munsil HDR Benchmark Disc, Volume 4. Viewing the same test patterns, I began testing with single-pixel performance. Just as with the Pro2 the Max with EBL off, transitioning from a full black screen to a single pixel caused a slight rise in the black floor. With EBL on—whether set to Low or High—the black floor remained stable. Additionally, when switching from a black screen to a colored or full white screen, a brief color shift occurred when EBL would activate. While EBL Low was slower which made its activation more apparent it had less color shift while High was faster to activate it showed a more apparent color shift.
I next viewed the Starfield patterns. These patterns feature a black circle in the middle of the screen surrounded by a starfield that gradually gains more stars as it progresses. Just as with the Pro2 with EBL off, there was a very distinct transition between each starfield set that appeared. With EBL on the transition was smooth and maintained the black floor.
Lastly, I viewed the Montage and Skin Tones sections. Skin tones were well-represented and appeared accurate across all of the subjects shown.
The Montage performed best with 1,000 nit grade though with all grades there was a good amount of clipping in the image with the three horses standing out the most. DolbyVision grade performed better resolving more detail in the snow in the foreground.
4K/HDR10. The next film I watched was La La Land in HDR via 4K UHD Blu-ray. I selected several familiar scenes to evaluate, and the Valerion performed very well.
The first scene I viewed was the spring pool party, a vibrant and colorful sequence. Everything appeared as expected—from Mia's dress to the green foliage in the yard and the richly saturated red, fish-shaped wine bottle holder.
The next scene was when Sebastian performs with The Messengers. The sequence begins in complete darkness before a spotlight shines onto Sebastian, followed by Keith (John Legend) and the rest of the band. The projector handled this scene nicely, maintaining a deep black floor with no noticeable brightness pumping or fluctuations during the fade-out from the prior scene and transition to the spotlights.
The final scene I tested was when Sebastian walks into his bar and passes Mia's poster. The streetlights to the right exhibited a mild rainbow effect when my eyes quickly scanned the screen—subtle, but noticeable. Inside the club, the effect became more apparent due to the numerous small lights. After the transition into the dreamlike sequence, the colors appeared as expected, with deeply saturated reds in the bar's Christmas theme just before they leave out the backdoor.
Aside from the minor RBE observed, the Valerion Max delivered a great presentation of the film.
3D. The last movie I watched was Tron: Legacy in 3D. The depth of the images was good in several scenes, such as when Sam was preparing for the games during the overhead shots. Additionally, when Clu was watching the games, his floating dashboard/console had a nice depth to it in 3D. There was no visible crosstalk, and overall brightness was good with the laser setting at 10. The Valerion provided an enjoyable 3D experience that most viewers will be satisfied with.

Conclusion
Just like the VisionMaster Pro 2, the VisionMaster Max is a solid projector that delivers strong home cinema performance. While the Max offers higher performance compared to the Pro 2, Valerion has managed to keep the price reasonable, placing it in an interesting position where users might consider it alongside some of the larger, more established brands though at the same time opting for the more affordable Pro 2 since the performance is so similar between the two.
Featuring an iris, motorized vertical lens shift, strong contrast performance, wide color gamut coverage, EBL, impressive gaming capabilities, and solid HDR performance, the Max stands out as a feature-packed projector—and rightfully so. Although it excels in many areas and outperforms several competitors within its class (and even some larger, more expensive models), there is still room for refinement.
Areas for improvement include refining the EBL implementation, addressing HDR clipping issues, correcting occasional color shifts, and ensuring the projector meets its published contrast specifications. These factors make for an interesting decision for potential buyers when comparing the Max to the Pro 2, particularly given the price-to-performance ratio of both models.
Ultimately, the Max has a strong foundation, and with further refinement, it could become the projector many users have been waiting for. Its performance is already impressive, and for those who can accommodate its throw distance requirements, it is an intriguing option that most would be thrilled to own.
Measurements
Brightness. The Valerion VisionMaster Max is rated for 3,500 ISO lumens. The brightest picture mode is Standard using Brightness Enhancer on High setting which measured 3,421 lumens using the 9-point averaged measurement defined in the ISO and recently retired ANSI standards. That result is 2.25% below Valerion's listed specification. However, this picture mode is not suitable for viewing content due to its heavy green bias. Standard without Brightness Enhancer enabled measured 2,533 ANSI Lumens which is approximately 27% below Valerion's listed specification, while Brightness Enhancer Low measured 3,079 ANSI lumens.

Final Settings
Calibrated image settings from any third-party do not account for the significant potential for sample-to-sample variation, nor the different screen sizes and materials, lighting, lamp usage, or other environmental factors that can affect image quality. Projectors should always be calibrated in the user's own space and tuned for the expected viewing conditions. However, the settings provided here may be a helpful starting point for some. Always record your current settings before making adjustments so you can return to them as desired. Refer to the Performance section for some context for each calibration.

As soon as you turn on High Refresh Rate setting, it will set the "Ultra Sharpening Tuner" to OFF (turning 4K shifter off). You have to soft reboot the projector to see the setting toggled off but regardless you are no longer getting 4K/120Hz, its 1080p/120Hz. Try it ;)
Similarly, when you turn Ultra Sharpening Tuner back ON, the High Refresh Rate is turned off, you can't have both. Chips dont support it. 4K60Hz only.
How does this stack up against Epson's LS12000 / QB1000? I don't expect that the black levels would go toe to toe with JVC's NZ5 or NZ7, but the Epson's, in my opinion did not really have great black levels.
How is your native contrast on the Max measured here? Black screen or a white pixel in the image?
