Pocket Size HDMI Projector Meets The Need

We have all become very mobile in our day to day lives moving to smaller and smaller devices to carry with us. Laptop computers where the norm 5 years ago to take with you on the go for either work or fun. That has shifted to tablet computers to replace the laptop. And yet many of us carry around a smart phone which has far more computing power than we realize contained in a tiny shell ready to be tapped into. If you want to share the small screen you are working with, there are few options other than having a group conference call where you share the screen.

But there are options and a Pocket Projector from Brookstone may be exactly what you need. This small projector can connect to any mobile device which can handle an HDMI connection and measures out at 3.9 inches wide, 3.8 inches long and only .89 inches high. And it only weighs half a pound so it does not add much to what you are carrying with you. It handles both 1080p and 1080i input for video. Even though is handles 1080p, it does not display HD so do not compare the picture output to that of your HD TV. And you can project it on a screen or wall up to 50 inches. Anything wider than that and the picture projection quality is going to get degraded. This small package seems to deliver what you need.

With the included rechargeable batteries, it can provide up to 2 hours of projection time with the 3800 mAh batteries. These can be charged via a USB connection as most other devices do. The projection light can operate at up to 85 lumens. And while it does come with dual speakers, the quality is not the best. But there is an audio out connection so you can listen on your own speakers instead. There are comments that they are loud enough, but you are not going to get the rich sounds with larger units.

There are a few negatives about this. The first one is the price of $299.99. The other is that you will need to purchase an adapter for your iPhone or iPad to be able to connect to the Compact 80-Lumen Pocket Projector from Brookstone. Other smart phones and tablets may require an adapter as well. There are very few adjustments that you can make to this and there is no adjustable feet which you normally get with larger projects. Given the small size, there is a limited number of things to be included and keep the price down.

In spite of the negatives, this will meet your projection needs from a pocket size projector.
