This is a What?

I was just downloading a few weeks worth of photos from my pocket and DSLR cameras (here), and I ran across this photo I has someone take of my holding an LCD projector.  It is made by Dell, if memory serves me, and will almost fit in my back pocket.  They were giving them away for door prizes at the conference I was working.

This sort of thing would likely not serve me well with larger audiences, because it only issues 400 screen lumens.  It seems to be intended more for boardrooms, or for watching movies on the wall of my darkened hotel rooms.

I want one!

  1. I want one, too.

    BUT…

    …according to feedback from people who have used them, they can only manage a certain screen size. Also, they can only work in a darkened room, as you say. So even with presos to small groups, you need to be able to control the lighting in the room for it to be visible to the viewers.

  2. My wife almost picked one up off DealNews the other day for her classroom, but we had the same concerns: dark room, small screen size. Great for portability, though, as her only other option for an LCD projector is to go down three flights of stairs then walk around the entire length of the building to get to the elevator, then back around the building back to her classroom. This 10+ minute process is for one of the three LCD projectors in her K-12 building.

    Wish we could borrow one for a few days and see if it would work in her classroom.
