AAXA P1jr Pico projector?

post #1 of 6
Thread Starter 

Hey guys, I saw this when I was surfing Youtube and was wondering if anyone has any experience with these pico projectors?  Sorry, I did a quick search for portable media and this forum came up so I figured it would be a good place to ask.  Here's the Youtube link, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOr52i2ofUU

 

Are there any other brands I should be looking at as well?  Never really heard of AAXA, but it looks pretty sweet in the video.

I bought their original P1 a year or more ago.  Played with it long enough to realize it is actually HARD to find a good white wall to project on. Output was poor.  Gadget worked, but didn't find a place in my daily routine.  Making a cheaper thinner version isn't going to make it more useful.   JMHO.

4D is right, being cheaper and thinner doesn't necessarily make it more useful. It's pretty cool if you can find a use for it. A friend of mine has one and connects it to an iphone to watch youtube videos, which is pretty cool. It's a nice toy, but there is room for improvement.

Thanks for the replies guys.  For $100, I figured it was cheap enough to give it a try.  I will post my thoughts after I get it and get to play around with it for a while.

So....I guess as a customer, they send out emails with these coupons.  For this weekend, if you use MEMD2011TB you will get free shipping and a free accessory cable of your choice.  Kinda sux since I could have saved a bit but my loss is your gain!

If you plan on playing games with something like this, make sure you check the resolution first.  It's really the resolution that matters, not the advertised 60" screen or whatnot.  You wouldn't want a huge 60" tv in something like 480p right?

In my experience, these ~$100 projectors are fine with stuff like Gamecubes, PS2, Xbox, and the wii, but there really just aren't enough pixels for the 360 and ps3.  You're probably going to have to use them in a dim or dark room too, or the image will be washed out.
