Bit Projector LED Multimedia MMP-15A Review

So I bought this a few days ago for the office to throw some videos up on the wall. One thing you will need is a a/v composite cable from Apple to connect to the projector. I was actually surprised when sound started coming out from the projector. I didn't know it had it own speakers, but still, a little weak. I connected my computer speakers to the earjack and sound was good. For the iphone it only worked when you run itunes but still pretty cool. I tried it with an ipod as well and it worked fine. I also connected it to my office directv box and I was able to throw the channels on the wall. The projector has a rubber casing so it feels very sturdy. The battery life was about 45 minutes long but I just connected the power cable and ran the projector during lunch in the breakroom. Overall a nice buy. Good customer service as I didn't which a/v cables I needed to connect to my iphone but we got that resolved in less then 20 minutes. Only thing I ran to radio shack to buy my a/v cables and then realized I could have gotten it on Amazon without any taxes or shipping.Apple Composite AV Cable (MB129LL/B)

Optoma EP-PK-101 PICO Pocket Projector- 4 oz. Review

Optoma EP-PK-101 PICO Pocket Projector- 4 oz.

We purchased a few of these for work(to be used with both the iPhone and iTouch). I would probably give this projector 3 1/2 stars, but it was not an option. We have not been using this very long, but those that have used it have been very impressed (it is better than what we were expecting).
Are these for everyone? I would say no. The picture quality is decent, but it does not come close to larger projectors that don't cost a lot more than this does. My guess is that a lot of people will want this because it looks cool, but I'd bet that most people will not use it much once the newness wears off.
The image is decent when viewed in a very dark room. The lighter the room, the more the image gets washed out. It does not take much light either before the image is washed out and only usable if you are fairly close to the surface you are projecting the image on. Even in dark rooms, the image is on the dark side (whites will have a bluish tint). There is a built in speaker, but it's basically worthless so plan on connecting it to some sort of external speaker.
I realize that the review seems a little negative and I don't want you to think that we are not happy with these. Like I mentioned above, we have been very happy with what these can do. The media guys will not be using these to show HD video to clients, but they will get a lot of use. We have a number of people that travel a lot for training purposes. They usually have to pack around a laptop/dvd player, projector, external speakers, and all of the wires needed to connect everything together. They are usually in smaller rooms presenting to small groups. For this purpose, the projector is going to work very well.
Here is what we have put together. Instead of packing around the equipment mentioned above, our managers now have their iPhone or iTouch, the Optoma Pico Projector, and a set of mini speakers from a company called Grandmax (Grandmax.com). The speakers are powered from the iPhone and are not much bigger than the projector (the sound is excellent for the size). They are able to show videos, pictures, and PowerPoint presentations(you need a program to convert the PowerPoint presentation to a video to do this)and not have to pack a ton of equipment to do it.
It will be exciting to see where this technology goes in the future. However, as for now, this projector does a decent job as long as you can live with the shortcomings. It's not perfect and a lot of people will not be happy with the quality, but it has the potential to be a very worthwhile tool if you have a specific need that this projector can satisfy.

Epson MovieMate 55 480p 3LCD Home Theater Projector with Built In DVD Player Review

I wrote a scathing review of my experience in purchasing this product, at first, when Electronics Expo, the Amazon-vendor, would not accept a return on this product. My decision to return it was based immediately on observing the "screen door" appearance (resolution)compared to another DLP model a friend let me borrow and try. Also, the zoom feature wasn't as good. Having said that, though, the convenience of this design, with the DVD player and sound built in, is a very nice thing, and in the end, I decided to keep it and make use of it for that reason alone. I also got an email and phone number from Electronics Expo trying to make good on the deal. The rep was reachable by phone, and tried to make me happy. I recommended they find a way to say "you may not return this item if you purchase it" show up somewhere on the cart check-out page before you click "complete purchase." So, let the buyer beware.Epson MovieMate 55 Portable 3LCD Home Theater Projector with Built In DVD Player

Samsung P410ME LED-Based DLP Pocket Projector (2 lbs) Review

Samsung P410ME LED-Based DLP Pocket Projector (2 lbs)

(More customer reviews)
I use this projector for demonstrations of software and such to small groups (usually 3 or 4 people) and it's perfect for that matter. What I like is:
- Portability: It's small, and although the power supply is almost as big as the projector, this model comes with a handy carrying case, which is perfect for transporting the unit and all it's components.
- Ease of use: Just plugged into the laptop and played (Vista Ultimate); no need to install any software.
- Picture quality: You have to know what your getting off this trade, meaning less lumens but much more hours and no need to replace lamps. The brightness is enough to fit small group presentations (which is my company's bread and butter) although it may not be fit to a bigger audience. I would recommend to be aware of this and purchase another (Infocus, perhaps?) with more lumens to host large group presentations.
- Form factor: It looks very professional on its glossy black color. True it can hold a fingerprint stain (or two) but it comes with a cloth for cleansing purposes.
- Sound: It's not surround sound system, but I think it's a nice feature to have on this kind of device, although I don't plan to use it extensively for that matter.
- Features: USB port is a plus for portable presentations that don't requiere a laptop; Remote Control works out-of-the-box and provides aid with presentations played from a USB device connected to the device. DVD connectors that makes it easy to just plug a DVD player and play a movie or so, without hassles.
All that said, again I have to stress that it's meant to be used indoors for personal use or small groups (my take is no more than 10 people); If you need to hold larger audiences or use outdoors presentation you may want to consider other brighter (and bigger) options.
Miguel Angel.

I liked the price of course and I was attracted to the LED feature with it's lower power consumption, quiet opperation and long bulb life. The Problem are that this unit is so stripped down in regards to features you wonte be able to use it with very much versatility. I bought one specifically to hook up to a laptop and project the computer image.............Nope. It don't do that. I did hook up an old VCR just to make sure it worked. It does work but not very well. Picture quality is dull and not very vivid at all. There is also an annoying pattern that is visable and reminds me of the dot pattern you see when you look at a magazine photo through a magnifying glass. I desperatly want to brighten up the picture but there is no control for that. All and all I think I can say that I don't think I'll get much use out of this unit. The concept is good but that's about as far as it goes. The picture is simply not clean enough for anyone who is trying to duplicate a television quality image in a larger version........ How do I send this thing back?

Aiptek PJV11X PocketCinema V10 Portable Projector (Silver) Review

Aiptek PJV11X PocketCinema V10 Portable Projector (Silver)
Average Reviews:

The whole concept of PICO projectors is very new. I did a bit of research before deciding to buy a PICO projector and the following conclusions made me ultimately purchase this product:
-I'm an early adopter
-I'm tech savy
-I'm mobile
-I love gadgets
-I like to be the first to try something out
There are many applications for this product, but before I go into my uses and thoughts I should point out that this device does take a certain knowledge concepts like JPEG, MPEG, MP3 and file conversion. You don't have to be a tech genius to work this device at all, but it helps to have a basic understanding.
Overall, this product delivers on the concept of having a reliable, portable, multi-format projector in an extremely compact size. It's about the size of your average digital camera or a little bigger than an Ipod but for what it is capable of, I find it to be extremely small. You can truly fit the device in your pocket.
It uses multiple methods of attaining images to project. You can use an SD card (which I found easiest) or you can load files onto the device. You can also use AV cables with the included adapter. Some AV devices do have a direct connection cable that would work but I'm not sure what the size or standard for that would be. For example. I was able to connect my Wii directly to the device with the AV cables and Video and sound were both functioning.
Depending on how close you are to the projection destination (I use a white wall) your image can actually be quite bright. Is it the crispest image ever? No . But it is pretty remarkable for the size. Color saturation is also decent. I didn't notice any lag when playing video files on the device.
Battery life was pretty good, I get about an hour depending on what I am doing but you can also keep the device plugged in.
I was able to do a complete power point presentation with the device by converting the files to JPEG (right in PPT). My audience was very impressed that I had the whole presentation, including projection in my pocket.
I was able to project the image from the device all the way across my room. Im complete darkness it worked fine but you may want to be closer to your receiving source (e.g. the wall) if you aren't able to have complete darkness.
Overall, if you are looking for a cool gadget that does what it says, then I would recommend this product. Keep in mind that this is a balance between projection, price and portability. If you find yourself matching one of my criteria then you will certainly enjoy this product.

I was nervous about spending a thousand dollars on an item I didn't know much about, but now that I've had this projector for a month I consider it worth every penny.
The picture is great, and the projector offers every control and setting in an intuitive fashion. The only thing I don't understand is why it has the swivel base, that seems like a useless feature, but hey, one extra feature is better than one too few.
I've used the projector with game systems, my computer, and of course just in DVD mode. All were set up in less than a minute (the DVD in seconds). I think even grandma and grandpa could get this thing working without the instruction book.
I use it to play movies on my wall at home and the video and audio quality is great, and it's amazing to have a big screen right there in the living room or bedroom just by having moved some pictures around.
The only think I caution you on is to make sure you get the "US" version, there is an international version floating around that apparently has a 90 hour "demo" bulb rather than the standard 3000 hour bulb. Also the warranty is 90 days rather than a year.
