AAXA Technologies P300 Pico Projector with Rechargeable Battery - Native HD resolution with 500 LED Lumens, For Business, Home Theater, Travel and more (KP-600-01)

The AAXA P300 micro projector is an amazing little device. For such a small unit, it lights up a 100" (diagonal) Screen Innovations projector screen with enough brightness to be visible without darkening the room. Setup is very easy and intuitive with sufficient inputs and media format support to handle just about anything a pocket-sized projector would be asked to project. The unit does come with a battery installed, despite the implication in the manual that its optional. In reality, an *extra* battery is optional. There are several picture modes (e.g. Movie, Standard, Presentation, User) and color temperatures (e.g. Warm, Normal, Cool, User) to tweak the color space, gamma, and contrast. I wouldnt call any of them THX or ISF calibrated, but theyre definitely good enough for an ad-hoc movie watching session, screen sharing, or PPT presentation. The only two minor nits that each knock half-a-star off my review are: * The credit card-thin remote is VERY twitchy. It takes a gentle and/or lucky touch to have the thin film button actuate once, and only once. * The brightness drops noticeably when running on batteries. I was testing all kinds of inputs and formats while plugged in and was very impressed with the daylight brightness. When I performed a demo for wifey, after the unit was fully charged and unplugged, the projection was noticeably dimmer. I thought I had a setting wrong, but confirmed that you lose maybe 1/3 of the lumens on battery. In summary, Im very happy with the little powerhouse. It performs up to or exceeds all my expectations.

Pros: -Excellent contrast. Blacks are black. And this thing is BRIGHT for how small it is. -Simple operation. -Having an internal battery is neat. -Image quality overall is pretty darn good. Cons: -Noticeable "rainbow" effect when scanning your eyes across the screen, but no worse than other DLP projectors -Poor color handling and image tearing when using HDMI (wrong colorspace, some kind of wrong sRGB handling), you should use VGA when possible -Feels like cheap plastic and weak case design (creaks when you push the buttons)

This is a good product and is bright enough for a standard meeting room presentation. That said, the focus mechanism is both difficult to adjust and depending on the distance, hard to focus. For the price, the manufacturer could put a better focus dial in place. It is light and very plastic. The black finish is not a plus in that it smudges pretty easily. The tripod is functional but flimsy. The positive is that they now include the battery. I had a couple of questions about the unit, and their customer support was awesome. Product gets four stars because for the compact size, it is really a good projector. Time will tell on the quality. I
