+ LED's don't pull 200+ watts = energy efficient, it can be powered from a PC or Laptop USB/5volt transformer with high enough ampage.

- It gets quite worm, the transfomer it comes with didn't put out enough amps to power it, only to charge it's batterys.

+ Size and portability, good battery life, having 2 batteries supplied, image quality for price, build quality, general usefulness.

- No mains operation only battery, would benefit either a larger internal speaker or a headphone socket to enable easier use.

Alan, Edinburgh , “Businessman who does presentations”

+ Light, very compact and portable.
Image is much brighter than people had suggested and can be used in a light room.

- Image is too coarse-grained for print fonts under 16pt to be readable.
Needs Composite to VGA connector/convertor that weighs as much as the device
Composite to VGA connector/convertor not supplied with device

Nick, Farnborough

+ Size, weight, brightness.

- Cannot connect to PC and cannot accommodate a media card, making it very limited in terms of content that can be shown, unless you have a Nokia phone or iPod (but then you still need to purchase the relevant cables separately).

Anonymous verified purchaser , “I am a professional”

+ Small size.

- Other than the small size, the product was really disappointing. I bought it for the purpose of presentations to small groups. It does not connect to the laptop from the USB, but rather through an AV link, which I can't get to work with my Sony Vaio, although I got two adaptors for this. For this product to really make any sense, it has to connect through the USB port and maybe also perhaps have a bluetooth option. I am actually extremely dissatisfied by the product and if I could return it I would (I don't have all the packaging in place because i thought it will work with the adaptors).

Manufacturer's Description

Optoma, one of the largest projector companies in the world, is proud to introduce the stunning Optoma Pico PK101 – a projector that’s so small it fits easily in your pocket! Imagine being able to show your friends and family videos from your media player or mobile phone at up to sixty inches in size. Ever wanted to show the photos on your digital camera or PDA whilst you’re out and about? Well, now it’s possible with this revolutionary new projector you can hold in your hand. No need to worry about connecting to the mains either; the Optoma Pico Pocket projector comes supplied with batteries to give you complete freedom on the move and what’s more it’s fully rechargeable, just like your mobile phone.

The latest LED technology, Optoma’s projector expertise and Texas Instruments tried and trusted DLP® chip technology, (used in millions of business and home cinema projectors the world over), come together to produce astonishing image quality from such a small projector. There’s no need to worry about replacing the lamp either – the Pico has a lamp-life of an astonishing twenty thousand hours: enough for more than eighteen years of life, even if you use the projector three hours a day, every single day of the year. We think once you’ve seen the Optoma Pico you’ll agree that it sets the standard in pocket projectors.
