Samsung pico projector. Great price! 175 ono
time ago, I described a projector with the phrase "Good things come in small packages". Samsung's new SP-H03 DLP projector defer ves better, so let me say that "Great things come in pico packages." At 7½ ounces and 2¾" square, this is the smallest 30-lumen pico projector on the market. This projector is made for hallway conversations and small meetings that can now include a projection experience. It is perfect for "show and tell" sessions with photos, video clips, and short business documents pre-stored in internal memory. Full-length movies will exceed battery time, but the AC adapter solves that issue, so now you can watch "Gladiator" or some other favorite in the comfort of your hotel room with an image larger than your laptop's screen. The SP-H03 fits easily in the palm of your hand. Mini cable adapters connect composite video and VGA computer sources, and a USB adapter handles memory sticks. Top that off with 1 GB of internal memory, a microSD slot, and a list price of $, and you have a potent little projector for intimate settings. Overview Brightness and Uniformity: Many projectors do not live up to their brightness specification, but the SP-H03 hits its mark exactly. Specified at "27 lumens typical, 30 max", it delivered 27 ANSI lumens in Normal mode at maximum brightness. Eco mode dropped brightness to the 15-lumen level, and uniformity was 80% with the bottom of the image a little brighter than the top. Controlling ambient light makes pico projector images appear brighter, but even in a moderately bright room, a 24"diagonal image is bright enough for close-up viewing. The SP-H03 can project up to an 80" image, but if you want to get anywhere near that size, you will have to turn out lights and lower shades for a satisfactory image. Image Size and Position: For all images sizes, the centerline of the lens is even with the bottom of the image. This is convenient for desktop placement in intimate seating arrangements since the center of the image is roughly at eye level. There is no keystone correction in most picos, so if you have to tilt the projector to get the image where you want it, you will distort the picture symmetry. For best viewing while sitting close to the screen, place the projector at tabletop height, and the center of the image will be roughly at eye level. Source Selection: On power-up, the SP-H03 presents an Input Source menu where you can select AV for video, PC for computer, and memory sources such as internal, USB, and microSD. Within the memory categories, you can choose Documents, Videos, Photos, and Music. The memory limit for USB memories is 16GB, and for microSD cards, it is 32GB. User Settings: As you might expect with a pico projector, some user settings are absent (e.g., color temperature and wall color compensation), but brightness and contrast are adjustable in all modes with saturation and tint settings also adjustable in video mode. Connections: Like most picos, the SP-H03 uses mini connectors and cable adapters to connect external sources. A general-purpose connector accommodates an included VGA adapter, a mini phone jack connects an adapter that fans out to three RCA females for composite video, and a mini USB adapter cable provides a full-size female USB connector for memory sticks. Component video is connected via a Y/PB/PR-to-VGA adapter cable (not included). Ad ID: Delivery Services Consumer Credit
