PicoPixZakprojector

I was surprised by the negative reviews here but then I read what they don't like about this product and realise that they are mostly due to unrealistic expectations. You have to understand what this product is supposed to do: fit in your pocket and display images/videos short range at 30 lumens (i.e. not very powerful). This means that it is not the projector of choice for a room you can't black out well or for projecting on to a big screen for a large group of people. There are many projectors that do that job very economically (Philips have them too) but they don't fit in your pocket. This projector excels when it plays to its strengths: size and independence from a power supply and computer connection. I am an artist and I have it permanently loaded with my portfolio of photos and videos. Whenever I want to show someone my work I whip it out of my pocket and shine it on the nearest wall. For small groups of people this is much better than huddling round a phone or tablet. It's even powerful enough to be seen in daylight as long as you don't exaggerate with the image size/distance from wall. These same qualities also make it a great way to watch videos when travelling. I'm giving it 5 stars to redress the unfairly low ratings by people who I think simply bought the wrong product for their needs but if the playing field were more even I would knock a star off because there are things about the software interface that I don't like but if resolved would make this a perfect product.

As an artist wishing to show potential customers samples of my work at a reasonable size, I found that the projector filled my needs perfectly. It's small enough to carry around and when linked to a laptop gives a clear and sharp image. Perfect for my needs.

Ich habe der Verherigen 5* Bewertung wenig hinzuzufügen, finde aber das dieses geile Produkt eine zweite 5* Bewertung verdient hat.

Das Gerät ist klein, handlich und ausdauernd. Es gibt zahlreiche Einstellmöglichkeiten (z.B. Bild auf dem Kopf anzeigen) und alles ist sehr gut durchdacht. Ich bin sehr überzeugt von dem PPX2330. Überrascht hat mich der gute Lautsprecher, der einen großartigen Klang liefert und ausreichend laut gestellt werden kann. Natürlich darf man nicht die Leistung eines großen Beamers erwarten. Bei Tageslicht reicht die Leuchtkraft nur bedingt aus. Für meine Zwecke ist das Gerät jedoch perfekt. Ich bin viel unterwegs und habe somit für Präsentationen immer einen Beamer dabei, oder kann unterwegs im Hotel einfach mal einen Film schauen. Ich habe das Gerät bereits in meinem Freundeskreis weiterempfohlen.

Corrisponde esattamente a quello che desideravo. Anzi, supera per luminosità e definizione l'idea che mi ero fatta sulle prestazioni possibili. Lo utilizzerò a lezione (Accademia di Belle Arti) e la sua portabilità è una virtù preziosa per noi docenti.

por lo pequeño y fácil de utilizar y si encuentras el tipo de archivo que soporta es un cine portátil con gran nitidez.

Je suis entièrement satisfaite de mon projecteur de poche. Il a sûrement été conçu pour des présentations en petit groupe, mais je vous assure qu´il est TRÈS performant AUSSI pour de groupes plus importants, dans une salle d´environ 100 m2! Et il m´accompagne partout, sans augmenter le poids de ma valise! Compliments et merci à Philips! Sonia.

Hi, I just I bought a Pico 2330, I found it strange that when connected to my laptop and projecting, the battery cannot be charging while playing. Is there a way to charge the Pico battery when projecting?

I'm surprised that there are reviews here claiming you can't show your computer's desktop on the PicoPix. Writers of those reviews probably haven't read the manual. You need to install software which comes on the PicoPix (for Windows and OS X) which allows you to show your computer's screen on the PicoPix. Only downside is that there is no software for Linux. Also, there's a small lag when projecting this way, which means it's not suitable for showing films. Those indeed are best placed on a USB-stick or simply copied to the device's internal drive. Also, the support for video files is rather limited. So far however I've been using this projector even for showing films to large groups. I'm happy with it!
