Valerion has announced an enhanced version of its VisionMaster Max laser projector that delivers improved brightness and contrast as well as significantly improved black-level performance and the elimination of rainbow effects.

VisionMaster Max: key features
The new VisionMaster Max is capable of peak brightness of 3,500 ISO Lumens and delivers native contrast of 5,000:1 and enhanced black level (EBL) contrast of 50,000:1.
The projector is designed to throw images of up to 300 inches via its RGB triple laser, and it features Dolby Vision, HDR10+, IMAX Enhanced, Filmmaker mode and 24/48fps operation. There’s a low-latency (4ms) mode for gaming, dynamic tone mapping and 110% of the Rec.2020 color gamut.
As for that NoirScene Dark Field Engine, it uses three core technologies: an Enhanced Black Level Algorithm for real-time optimization; a sealed design for the laser engine and lens to minimize stray light interference; and a six-blade precision aperture with multi-level adjustment to control light at the pixel level.
Valerion is currently listing the new VisionMaster Max for pre-order – shipping starts in October 2025 – with a price of $4,999 / £4,349 / €4,999 (about AU$10,312).
If you want some big speakers to go with your big screen, Valerion is also launching its ThunderBeat 5.1.2 wireless surround system this week to pair with the new projector.
It’s a Dolby Atmos system with low latency and, and its official price is $1,298 (so we’d expect £1,299 / €1,299 (about AU$2,679). It’s a very intriguing option as wireless Dolby Atmos system start to take off, and we’re definitely keen to give it a try – reducing the number of boxes needed for a projector setup will only help tempt people to the world of really big screens.
