On March 20, the 2025 Appliance & Electronics World Expo (AWE) officially opened at the Shanghai New International Expo Center. Leading tri-color laser projector brand Vidda brought its full lineup of laser projectors to the show—including the C2S, C2 Ultra, C2 Pro, C2 Supreme Edition, and the all-new M2 Pro. With a focus on ultra-large screens and ultra-high-definition visuals, the brand’s booth drew strong interest from industry insiders and visitors alike. Among the highlights was the M2 Pro, Vidda’s latest release, which has yet to go on sale but already generated significant buzz on the show floor.
With the global home entertainment market booming and consumer demand for premium AV experiences on the rise, smart projectors are rapidly evolving thanks to their ability to deliver big-screen, immersive viewing at home. Among them, tri-color laser projectors have gained traction for overcoming common limitations of traditional models—such as low brightness, poor resolution, and lackluster detail—by offering higher brightness, wider color gamut, and stronger contrast.
Recent market research supports this trend. According to data from RUNTO Technology, China’s home projector market saw a significant technology reshuffle in 2024. 4K tri-color laser projectors surged in shipments, with market share increasing by 51.7% year-over-year, becoming the primary growth engine for the industry.
Unveiled at AWE 2025, the Vidda M2 Pro is the brand’s newest addition to its tri-color laser projector family. Despite its compact size, the M2 Pro packs a punch, bringing together a premium 4K resolution, optical zoom, and tri-color laser setup—features previously reserved for projectors in the $1,500+ range—at a competitive price point around ¥4000 (~$550 USD). It’s being hailed as one of the most disruptive new releases of the first half of 2025.
Powered by tri-color laser technology, the M2 Pro offers clear advantages over LED and single-laser projectors in brightness, color performance, and contrast. It delivers true 4K resolution, covers 110% of the BT.2020 color gamut, and achieves a color accuracy of ΔE < 0.9, ensuring vibrant, lifelike visuals. With the inclusion of the Qualas 32 laser engine, it sees major gains in color balance (+11%), brightness output (+15%), and color purity (+3%). In real-world projection tests, a single Qualas laser achieves up to 1200 CVIA lumens, eliminating the common issue of “fake 4K” caused by insufficient brightness.
The M2 Pro doesn’t just excel in image quality—it also introduces a new generation of Hubble optical zoom lens with a throw ratio of 1.0–1.3:1, capable of projecting a 100-inch screen from just 2.2 meters away. The 1.3x lossless optical zoom ensures clear, distortion-free scaling to fit various room sizes. Vidda’s proprietary multi-lens 6-axis system and advanced chromatic aberration correction deliver fast, smooth zooming with zero color fringing and no ghosting.
Aesthetically, the M2 Pro is designed with younger users in mind. Its soccer-ball-sized form factor is paired with a large, central “eye”—a prominent optical zoom lens that gives it a playful yet stylish appearance. The integrated gimbal-style handle makes it highly portable, while the included EPP protective carry case ensures safe and convenient travel.
