In recent years, more and more people have begun to pursue a more relaxed and immersive home audio-visual experience. Compared with traditional TVs, smart projectors that can easily project large images have gradually become a popular choice. However, the appearance design of most projectors on the market is relatively conservative, mostly function-oriented, and rarely have both design and collection value.
The Bongcom Football Smart Projector BS5 to be unboxed this time is a very unique product. It has a body design inspired by the shape of a football. It is equipped with short-throw projection and a 180° flexible pan-tilt structure, allowing users to easily project a 150-inch large screen in a small space.
In addition to its eye-catching appearance, Bongcom BS5 has also been fully upgraded in terms of hardware specifications and functions, including a 50% increase in brightness, a 100% increase in contrast, a 54% reduction in energy consumption, and the addition of new features such as WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.4, and voice remote control.
Paired with the OVO TV smart system and rich audio and video content, this projector is not only a playback device, but also a complete home entertainment center. Next, through the complete unboxing, we will give you an in-depth understanding of the design concept and actual use experience of the Bongcom Football Projector BS5.
Bongcom BS5 Football Projector Unboxing｜The football shape is super eye-catching, you can watch dramas and football in 150 inches!
With the popularity of streaming audio and video platforms, the way modern people watch audio and video content has gradually changed. In the past, most families used TV as their main viewing device, but now as long as there is an Internet connection, you can watch videos at any time through Netflix, YouTube or various OTT platforms. Therefore, many people began to hope to create their own home audio-visual space in a more flexible way.
Smart projectors have become increasingly popular as a result. Compared with traditional TVs, the biggest advantage of projectors is that they can project a larger picture and can be used freely in different spaces. However, many projectors on the market have relatively standard designs and look more like tool-type equipment than part of home decoration.
The design concept of Bongcom Football Projector BS5 is to break this impression. This projector is not only an audio-visual equipment, but also a home appliance with a sense of design. It integrates football elements into the appearance of the fuselage, allowing the projector to become part of the home space even when it is turned off. It has both entertainment functions and decorative value.
Appearance design｜Football-shaped projector
In terms of appearance design, the biggest feature of Bongcom BS5 is its football-shaped design. Different from the common square or cylindrical appearance of traditional projectors, the overall shape of BS5 looks more like an exquisite football art ornament. This design not only improves product recognition, but also makes it easier for the projector to integrate into various home spaces.
The surface texture and structural design of the football shape are quite detailed, and the overall workmanship also maintains a good texture. For users who like football culture or sports elements, this design adds more collection value.
Since Bongcom BS5 is positioned as a limited edition commemorative product, the design concept also hopes to present a unique style. This kind of design is not only to attract attention, but also to make the projector a personalized presence in life.
On the football-shaped body, the speakers and heat dissipation holes are also cleverly designed, and the integrity is quite good.
In addition to the appearance design, another very practical design of Bongcom BS5 is the 180° flexible gimbal structure. If you need to adjust the projection angle of a general projector, you usually have to use a tripod or raise the body. This method is not convenient for daily use.
The Bongcom BS5’s gimbal design allows the lens to be rotated up and down directly, so you can quickly find a suitable projection angle in different situations. For example, when watching a movie in the living room, it can be directly projected onto the wall; when resting in the room, the angle of the projector can be adjusted upward to project onto the ceiling to watch the movie.
This design greatly improves the flexibility of using the projector and makes viewing movies more flexible. Users do not need to move the projector frequently. They can easily change the projection direction by adjusting the angle through the pan/tilt.
In addition to entertainment functions, Bongcom BS5 also emphasizes energy saving and sustainability concepts in its design concept. Official data shows that the overall energy consumption of BS5 is 54% lower than that of the previous generation product. At the same time, the product packaging also uses recyclable materials to reduce environmental burden.
The lifespan of the projection light source reaches 30,000 hours, which means that even if you watch it for several hours a day, it can be used for many years without needing to replace the light source.
In terms of wireless connectivity, Bongcom BS5 uses Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.4 technologies. Wi-Fi 6 can provide more stable network connection speeds and make streaming video playback smoother, while Bluetooth 5.4 can quickly pair the projector with wireless speakers or headphones. The connection ports on the rear of the fuselage are simple but complete, equipped with HDMI and USB-A ports, and the power jack and power button are also designed here.
In addition, Bongcom BS5 also supports voice remote control function. Users can search for videos or open apps through voice, making the operation process more intuitive.
Even in a small space, you can project a shocking big picture
In the projector experience, the throw distance is a very important factor. Many traditional projectors require a long distance to project a large picture, which can limit picture size if there is insufficient depth of space.
Bongcom BS5 adopts a short-throw throw ratio design of 0.9:1, allowing the projector to project a larger image at a shorter distance. This means that users do not need to place the projector very far away to enjoy a large-size screen viewing experience.
In a general room or living room environment, you can easily project a large screen of up to 150 inches by simply placing the projector on a TV cabinet or table.
This size is close to the size of a small home theater. Whether you are watching dramas, watching movies, playing games or watching football games, it can bring a more immersive visual effect.
For small square footage spaces common in urban residences, the advantages of short-throw projection are particularly obvious. Even in a bedroom or suite environment, you can easily create your own large-screen entertainment space.
Comprehensive upgrade in brightness and contrast
Bongcom BS5 has also made many improvements in projection performance. Compared with the previous generation, the new generation model has a 50% increase in brightness, a 100% increase in contrast, and a 15% improvement in brightness uniformity.
In terms of brightness specifications, the Bongcom BS5 offers 450 ANSI lumens of brightness. When watching videos indoors with the lights off or in low lighting conditions, the picture is quite clear. Even with some ambient light, good visibility is still maintained.
The resolution part is 720P HD and supports 4K video decoding. Although the display resolution is HD, the overall look and feel is still quite smooth when watching streaming videos or daily audio and video content.
OVO TV system
Bongcom BS5 has a built-in OVO TV smart system, which makes the projector closer to a smart TV in use. Users can directly watch TV programs or stream audio and video content after turning on the phone, without the need to connect an additional TV box.
The OVO TV system offers a number of features, including a TV-watching experience right after you turn it on. Through this design, BS5 is not only a projector, but also an integrated audio-visual entertainment platform.
In addition, the system also supports the installation of major online video streaming service applications such as YouTube, friDay Video, Netflix, Disney+, and LINE TV through OVO’s own app store or Google Play Store, allowing users to expand the video platform as needed.
In addition, users can easily wirelessly project images from mobile phones and tablets to a large screen.
