Minimal effort, cinema-grade projection. That's what Dangbei's new addition to the DBOX02 lineup is offering. DBOX02 Pro is a 4K gaming projector that wants to take over your living room with thumping speakers, immense projection size, and a wildly adaptable auto keystone. It's an attempt to replace your TV and your Hi-Fi system with something altogether compact and stylish, that won't falter when the sun comes shining in.

There's none of that twisting the little feet to get the perfect angle, either, since the DBOX02 Pro comes with an impeccable InstanPro AI auto keystone and focus feature that makes it super easy to shift around without messing with manual keystone. Rotating it so the picture moves across a wall, you can watch the keystone autoupdate in real-time to keep everything perfectly aligned—it's quite magical actually.
