We sit the projector on our slide out table and use a 50″ projector screen. This fits perfectly between our overhead storage cupboards and the other side of the van. We were impressed by the brightness and the quality of the picture when using it in a dark van. Of course when using the projector in a daylight setting, the image is slightly washed out, but this would be expected from most projectors. In a dark van (very easy to achieve with some thermal blinds!) the picture quality is great. Audio Like all pico projectors we've tested, the M1 Portable has a fairly dim lamp that really can't compete with ambient light. This projector's use is limited to nighttime use outdoors or dark rooms. The M1 advertises a brightness of 250 lumens, but we measured its brightness at just 124 lumens. We found this kind of exaggeration and overall brightness level common amongst pico projectors.

The M1 is the only projector in its class to support full HD 3D input. Its dual three-watt speakers deliver surprisingly robust audio, with high quality sound and higher volume than seems reasonable in such a small projector. Its three-year warranty is two years longer than you get with most projectors in its class. Its innovative integrated stand and better-than-typical focus control make it easier to set up than most--a notable convenience for a portable projector.Project 60’’ images from only 1.4 meters away, even a 100” large screen won’t be a problem. Easily get a big screen in your room, rooftop, skate park or anywhere beyond your imagination.

Based in Southern California and Taipei, Taiwan, Viewsonic is a leading display hardware and technology company specializing in business, education, and home entertainment markets. The company started in 1987 as Keypoint Technology Corporation, producing the “ViewSonic” line of color CRT monitors. In the 1990s, the company renamed itself after the successful ViewSonic line and went on to become one of the leading innovators in LCD monitors and interactive displays.The Anker Nebula Cosmos Laser 4K has plenty of competition, but if you want a projector that will regularly work in a lot of different places around your home rather than outside it, there are few options that will do it as well and as easily as this one. Solid State Lighting – Projector lamps contain mercury, are expensive, and need to be replaced every few years.They are being replaced by solid state light sources like lasers and high brightness LEDs that last up to 30,000 hours.Today you can get a high brightness LED projector with 4,000 lumens and higher color accuracy for only a small premium over a similar lamp powered projector. Con 3) Limited 4K Native Resolution Model Selection: While offering a generally wide range of versatile projectors, Viewsonic has comparatively few models occupying the highest native resolution ultra-high-quality home theater niche. This may limit your options if you want to project on a large screen. In that case, you might want to consider a top 1080p projector instead, like the one you’ll see in our Optoma HD143X review. Why You Should Buy a New Viewsonic Projector The touch buttons on the mesh surface provide intuitive use and a tactile texture at the same time. ​Harman Kardon stereo speakers create room-filling sound for an amplified experience, while more flexible audio needs can be achieved via Bluetooth connectivity.

Yes! Think of it like the difference between a portable Bluetooth speaker and the speakers in your living room. The latter may sound better and go louder, but you can't exactly pop them in a bag and take them to the beach. Even taking them into the garden is an enormous pain. Con 2) Complex Setup: While the user experience is generally good, top-of-the-line Viewsonic models offer such a large array of input options and settings that they can be confusing for first-time projector users. Vibrant colours powered by ViewSonic’s proprietary Cinema SuperColor+™ Technology with 125% Rec.709, bring you mind-blowing visuals of true cinematic experience.The ViewSonic M1 is designed primarily for home entertainment, but you can also use it for business presentations on the go. You can drive it with a laptop that has either HDMI or USB Type C ports, but it also reads files from microSD cards and from internal memory.

Size and picture aside, the Optoma ML750e is also one of the best portable projectors in the world thanks to its impressive range of ports. It comes with one MHL-ready HDMI input, a USB 2.0 slot for thumbdrives, a universal I/O slot, and a microSD card slot. The M1 Pro delivers a cinematic experience of 100” large screen in 720p HD resolution at once, from indoors to outdoors, extending and enlarging the fun wherever you go. Utilizing reflective light, which bounces off the wall or projector screen before hitting your eyes, the projector makes the viewing experience virtually blue light free, less invasive to your sight and reduces eyestrain over prolonged viewing periods.​​ The M1 mini has a good range of supported formats, especially for video. These include AVI, MP4, TS/TRP, MKV/MOV, MPG, DAT, VOB, and RM/RMVB. For music, formats include MP3, WMA, and M4A/AAC, and for photos, JPEG, BMP, and PNG. None Too Bright, But With Pleasing Colors First off, you need to think about the situations you’re going to be using your projector in and find one that fits your requirements. Taking your smart projector on-the-go? Consider how well the projector achieves a portable design. Does it come with a carry handle? Or can it fold into a travel-ready container? If your projector is going to sit on your coffee table, make sure it says it’s a “short throw.”This makes it easy to hook up the M1+ to a range of different devices and means it's easy to carry this palm-fitting projector around with you. The Bluetooth speaker functionality is a great addition to the Solar Portable’s feature set, effectively delivering two devices in one: a Bluetooth speaker and a projector. Everything about Samsung's The Freestyle projector is geared towards ease of use. Starting with its streamlined setup process, which we found a breeze to use as it had us up and running in moments. Video Optimized Lumens. With all three color modes delivering essentially the same brightness and picture quality, and no color adjustments available, all three have equal claim on being the optimized video setting at roughly 140 lumens.
