Middle of the road, the technology of first generation still feels the miniaturization of technology is amazing. With iPods and netbooks and mobile phones have always been ways in which things interesting, but usually one at a time. Nobody likes to look askance at a small screen with viewing angle or dealing. Something small and batteries that I can just get in my pocket and design on a wall would be too great. Unfortunately, it does and it just does not really seem to be as magical as the RP is. As far as controls and circuit logic goes, is very simple. Only a screen idle waiting for input, volume up and down, mute, battery check, and off. No color adjustment. Not switch 16:9 / 4:3. No high-power mode when connected via AC. I know it's small, but even a simple color adjustment, the range of non-ideal surfaces to increase, you can confidently project. The picture quality itself is fair ... Although this model in 2010 has twice the brightness of the older models 3M, you really can not yet considered by lit in a room, "Whether you're in a cafe .. or conference room" is really a bit far fetched is from the cafe Do not let light geh'n. A really annoying bit about the display is the rainbow effect, which drives me crazy from the beginning of DLP TVs. Recent revisions are fast enough to minimize it, but the flicker is red / green / blue with the obvious. I would say that most of those provisions severe motion video sources, he points to a world of power and camera shots. For these things to do fine: Standby screen has a nice big "3M" logo in the middle, you may want to focus on these. As the machine stays on and heats up, however, seems to lose focus a bit and then it will be a little harder to correct because the focus wheel is now hot. If the last part of the quality of the image, you know, it's a 800x600 screen, so even if you can, in theory, connect a 1080i source or 1280x960 WXGA, everything will be reduced to 800x600 anyway: they will find no forgiveness for small fonts. Audio is another drop. The volume control has only 4 levels, so there is not too much control over them. And even at the highest it's just about the noise of the fans. It's nice it has a headphone port for audio configuration much, I do not see why you send it through the projector, if you were forced (iPod with an HDMI cable or dedicated). Well, not so much matter what. It comes with a lot of goodies. It is a stand with a mini with a bending assembly workstation standard, which means that not only can the projector comes on a standard tripod socket means you can put something on the mini-tripod. It has a foldable stand to increase them, it seems like an accessory in duplicate. You get lots of adapters that are beautiful, a composite cable with adapters for all kinds of cable and a VGA cable with audio connections are flexible tail, but I'd much rather have real ports on the sides. There is not enough space for composite, component, HDMI and an iPod cable 1:1. Would not it be clean and would be scattered around each edge, but at least it should not make a bushel of extra cables to the equipment I might want to include in the accessories Rounding is a small case load that it just fits perfectly. Unfortunately, with the extra stuff you carry around, the utility of a briefcase that you can place the projector is a bit "silly. I would have been fine with just a small lens attached hood. I think they're including all these things because after being a bit "disappointed with what you get you might not want to throw more money at it in adapters and cables. Look, I understand that this is a pocket-sized projector, but really, I do not think the technology is, it still seems the main limiting factor is the battery technology with a nice 2800 mAh. If it was simply more juice, then you can assemble.
