Philips PicoPix 1430 LED Projector (contrast 500: 1, 30 ANSI lumens, SVGA 800 x 600) gray / black (Electronics)

Customer Review

I would like to clarify at the outset that the PicoPix 1430 projector is my first and my vote therefore somewhat critical fails.

Plus points:

The device is surprisingly small and compact. Unlike other products, the power supply is small and handy.

The resolution, image quality, and the intensity with 30 lumens I find enough!

The built-in decoder seems to recognize all popular video formats (MP4, AVI and tested).

Other great features:
+ Use without laptop or PC
+ Built-in battery
+ Built-in speaker (in my opinion, good sound quality)

Bad points:

The included mini tripod is indeed a nice perk, but rather useless because the projector so really easy to fall over. So I would advise you to use a standard camera tripod.

The viewing of HD movies, has not work for me (tested: MP4 file, 1280x694). On USB stick and right on the internal memory of the projector could not properly reflect (halting image) files.

After a shorter viewing a film I have the "rainbow effect" noticed. Unfortunately, I must confess that I could not get used to it.

The fan in my opinion is too loud (perhaps due to the compact design). When watching movies, the relative quiet high constant fan noise (similar to laptop CPU fan) not (he) is portable.

Conclusion:
The device is quite inexpensive for his skills. However, I must confess not be particularly confident and am a product in a higher price range to buy (hopefully without "rainbow effect" and quieter fan) with all connections (incl. HDMI), without additional cables. Tripod and carrying case are indeed nice touches, but in my opinion rather useless!
