Pico projector

---

Hey all. I'm looking for a pico projector for my phone. Any recommendations? Or anyone with first hand experience with one?

I want to use it to watch a movie or two occasionally.

Howdy - I just purchased an Optima PK320 for the office and found out it makes a great HDTV for home (given low to no light conditions) - also works great with my RAZR

Before that, I had the PK301, but I found the 30-50 extra lumens did make a difference if you wanted an 60" + view

Thanks, a personal review!

Maybe I should explain a little more of what I want. I don't need it to be a 60'+ view. That's a little extreme for a bedroom. I want to display it across my room, so maybe the size of a 32' widescreen will be perfect.

I can get the room pretty dark, and I just want a projector that will show good brightness, with nice picture quality for movies. I can install external speakers on the side. So sound is not really an issue for now.

Come on I want more reviews! And pictures of some people's set up if possible!

Keep in mind that projecting "across" your room will create a 60"+ image, unless your room is a closet. Typical throw ratios of these pico projectors are between 1.6 and 2.0, meaning at a projection distance of 10 feet, they will create a 10/1.6 = 6.25 ft wide image to a 10/2.0 = 5 ft wide image.

If you want a ~32" screen, you'll need to project from about 4-5 feet.

The Optoma PK320 (100 lumens, 854x480) is great but expensive ($400+) and the previous model, the PK301 (50 lumens, 854x480) is good, and about $100 cheaper now.

The AAXA P4 (80 lumens, 854x480) is another good option. The fan noise is a little louder than either of the PK's, though.

My personal setup is a Vivetek Qumi Q2 (300 lumens, 1200x800) hooked up to a Roku box, projecting across the room, creating a 90" screen.
