Mitsubishi PK20 PocketProjector

Product Description

Users are finding new applications daily for the new PK20 LED DLP® PocketProjector™. This is the second generation of Mitsubishi's award-winning, micro-sized portable projector. With an ultra-wide lens, the PK20 has one of the shortest image throw distances of mobile projectors on the market today. Powerful enough to project a 60-inch image, you can easily create a 20-inch diagonal screen with just over a foot of projection distance. If you’re a sales executive, trainer, gamer, traveler, or camper, you can take the "big screen" right along with you. Or use it at home for digital photo or video shows.
Here’s What’s New in this Ultimate Portable ProjectorThis class of projectors is so new that Mitsubishi has made a special effort to listen to how you’re using this unique presentation product, and then respond with new features. First, the PK20 expands its portability by adding an SD card flash memory reader for on-the-fly photo sharing or presentations. Next, the projector uses a combination of Texas Instruments' Digital Light Processing® and LED technology to increase brightness by 150 percent compared to the original PocketProjector (PK10). You’ll see greater detail and increased clarity too, with a boost in contrast ratio to 1000:1. And they added audio in and out, as well as a tripod attachment.
Battery Operated to Go With All Your Mobile DevicesEven where there’s nowhere to plug in, the battery-powered PocketProjector™ offers SVGA (800x600) resolution. This projector also includes RCA video, S-video and VGA inputs, plus stereo mini-jack audio in/out to connect to your PDA, portable DVD player, laptop computer, digital camera or video game console. Like their first PocketProjector™, the new PK20 offers instant on/off control, virtually noiseless operation, and no bulb replacement.

This portable projector has proven itself extremely handy for small group presentations in small confined spaces. I have used it with the PC for Powerpoint presentations, with the DVD player and even tried it out with home theater equipment. It isn't quoted as one of the most luminous projectors, obviously. Perhaps the trade-off is with its portability. If that's what you want, this is it! If you need light, because you do your presentations in semi-dark environments, you will need a stronger projector.
Looking back, I should have bought something less portable but with more power for the same price, since I do a lot of classroom work.
