4k issue on Xiaomi 4K laser projector

Jump to Best Response

I am running Stadia on my 2020 - 4K Xiaomi laser projector.

Unfortunately it shows that my device does not support 4K or HDR on Stadia.

I can live without the HDR, but my external Xiaomi Mi Box had no trouble when I selected 4K.

Why does the Chromecast ultra support less than a cheap Mi box?

Can I force it into 4K?

I personally thought about buying this 4k Xiaomi projector to play on very big screens!

Thought digging into the net, it looks like this projector only accept 1080p resolution as a native support. The processor then upscales it to 4K HDR resolution internally.

This might be the reason why your Chromecast does not allow 4K streaming: the projector simply can't handle such input stream.

Still, I don't think you have to throw away the projector for a 4k-capable device. It seems like Xiaomi upscale (processed by DLP input chip) is very good and the on-screen result is very very very similar to a 4k native content!

You save bandwidth (1080p stream incoming) and you watch a 4K stream on your screen/wall. Quite efficient :slightly_smiling_face:

Your Xiaomi Box 4K resolution is still unsolved by me :confused_face: Do you see a lot of difference when revert the output back to 1080p?
