By Vincent Nguyen on Tuesday, Sep 22nd 2009 1 Comment

We’ve reviewed our fair share of pico-projectors here at SlashGear, and while they’ve often had impressive aspects to their performance, there’s been nothing that pushed them out of “expensive toy” and into “must-have accessory”. 3M are hoping that their latest model does just that: the 3M MPro120 is the company’s second-generation attempt at the pico platform, using a new LCoS imager and four times the battery life. Can it earn a permanent place in our bag? Read on for the full SlashGear review.

AAXA P2 pico-projector: VGA input but just 35 mins battery

By Chris Davies on Friday, Jul 31st 2009 No Comments

AAXA have unveiled their new pico-projector, the P2, and at first glance there’s plenty to endear the palm-sized device. The resolution gets a boost to 800 x 600 while brightness also climbs to 33 lumens; even better, there’s a standard VGA input along with the usual onboard media player, 1GB of integrated storage and microSD card slot. Unfortunately, the thorn in the P2’s side is its battery life.

Samsung MBP200 pico-projector/PMP hybrid hits Europe

By Chris Davies on Monday, Jul 6th 2009 1 Comment

Samsung’s MBP200 pico-projector has gone on sale in Germany, coupling a compact DLP projector with an onboard PMP. First announced back at CES, the MBP200 goes a step or two ahead of pico-projectors we’ve tested such as the BeamBox or AAXA by virtue of its integrated 2.2-inch display, meaning the PMP functionality does not necessarily require the projector be active.

DIY HD projector for under €499 [Video]

By Chris Davies on Wednesday, Jul 1st 2009 No Comments

If we told you there was a way you could get a custom HD projector for under €499 ($704) with DVI and HDMI inputs, you might go so far as to give your left arm for such a device. Unfortunately that would be the wrong idea, as you’d probably need that arm to put the projector together: you see, it’s a DIY kit, and according to German tinkerer Maxi Huber it’s the best piece of home entertainment kit he’s bought in some time.

By Chris Davies on Monday, Jun 22nd 2009 No Comments

Samsung have taken the wraps off of their latest pocket-projector, the P410M, and while you’d certainly need reasonably-sized pockets to carry it, it perhaps makes up for things by offering higher than usual specs. The P410M boasts up to 800 x 600 resolution and a 1,000:1 contrast ratio, together with inputs that include VGA, composite and a USB port.
