PicoPixPocket projector

well bundled with all cables : vga, av, rgb composite, usb adapter. also in box with remote controller which was very useful when used in a classroom. brightness of 30 lumens was sufficient when light off even in daytime. played many audio and video formats with quite good loudness. at night might be heard little colling fan but its nothing compared to bigger projectors. in slide show once paused, when mowed to next slide there was no popping menus on the screen. it has no PDF nor PPS(power point) capabilities but those can be converted to jpeg format easy. also as it staded it works for about 2hrs when on full brightness and longer when in eco mode. at night lower brightness was in my opinion advantage as it wont hurt eyes. also 800x600 format is advantage over many piko projectors with 854x480 as a proector screen is filled in format 4:3 which is better when using OS. some people might find it not as slim as acer piko or optoma piko but it still will fit in coat pocket. also it uses LCoS displays instead of DLP but I had already 2 DLP piko with failing DMD chips from mentioned above manufacturers. advantage of DLP was beter contrast but it failed easly within approx 300hrs. Philips PikoPix already working over that time with about 2300hrs as sometimes it works of mains all day and all night continously.

The first thing to say about the Pico-Pix unit is how small it is, and how light it is to hold. It was so small that I began to worry about how it would be capable of a decent performance - I needn't have worried, but more of that later. The unit feels robust, although it is made of plastic, and is well designed. All of the connections are together and clearly labelled. On top of the unit is the main navigation ring with "OK" and "Return" buttons that are familiar and intuitive in use. There is also a handy tri-pod stand for viewing on the go using the phone/MP4/SD/or mini-USB connectors. The main video connector (if you are not using the SD card slot to play movies directly) looks like a mini-HDMI port, but sadly the unit doesn't have that connectivity - a real pity as not everything uses component these days. All of the other video options (VGA, Component, Computer etc) connect through this single port using a variety of different cables. Once charged (around an hour in practice), I've found that my unit exceeds the promised "up to 2.5 hrs" by about a further 1.5 hrs, so more than enough to view even the longest presentation or movie! Attaching the unit to a video source is easy and intuitive, the results I was not prepared for. The image is far beyond what I'd dared to hope it would be. Attached to a DVD player via the optional component RGB connector available from Philips, I have watched several different types of dark and light images and tones. The colours were vibrant, contrast great (obviously the projection surface makes a difference here) and the detail was excellent - once I'd remembered to re-focus using the ring about the lens. There is a drop off in brightness the further away you move from the screen, but I did fill a 60 inch space comfortably with a great image but black-out room conditions (Philips says it can project an image of up to 80 inches). In my experience, images up to 26 inches look great in ambient lighting during the day. The unit is very quiet in operation and, although it does have an in-built speaker (too under-powered for anything except emergencies) attaching the unit to decent headphones or sound system and, honestly, you have a great little home cinema projection system that could easily go in the spare bedroom, games room, or child's bedroom. Add to this that the unit is pocket-sized and portable and I think you'll see you have a winner on your hands. Excellent product that surpassed my expectations!

Deze compacte mini projector is makkelijk in gebruik en geeft een mooie projectie.

Het apparaat performed beter als ik had durven hopen. De interne harde schijf en de mogelijkheid het kaartje uit mijn camera erin te stoppen maakt het apparaat echt overal inzetbaar. Je neemt m makkelijk mee en je kan je vakantie foto's projecteren op de vloer, desnoods in de kroeg als je zou willen.

prima klein compact apparaat voor zakelijk en prive gebruik

De pico beamer is echt een heel compleet apparaatje met verrassende mogelijkheden. Zonder 220V kunt u 3 uur uw presentatie geven - filmpje, diashow (fotos) vanaf een extra SD kaartje of via een meegeleverde kabel van spel- of laptopcomputer. Lichtopbrengst is goed genoeg voor 2m beeld

Heb nu 1 maand deze projector en hem meegenomen naar het buitenland voor werk (presentaties) en plezier (films en foto's bekijken). Al mijn kennissen stonden versteld van de kwaliteit van de projectie uit zo'n klein apparaat. in tussen heb ik er al 2 doorverkocht en kan ik er nog een aantal verkopen aan vrienden die niet in nederland wonen. Ook profecionele kennissen zijn erg geintereseerd in deze projector voor zakelijk gebruik. Enige nadeel is dat de projector niet standaard een connectie kabel heeft die op de computer (laptop) kan worden aangesloten. Deze is wel afzonderlijk bij Philips te bestellen.

Ein muß für jeden Technikfreund... Einfach nur klasse...

Einfach nur geil das Teil ! Super klein, super powerfull ob zu Hause im Wohnzimmer oder Bett oder unterwegs....und sogar für kl. Meetings. Hab' ein riesen Spass ! Nur zu empfehlen !!!

Caratteristiche perfette per un utlilizzo non intensivo. Per fare delle presentazioni con la massima mobilità è perfetto. Sarebbe perfetto se si potessero leggere i pdf e i powerpoint direttamente dalla scheda sd o via usb.
