Three Top Shelf Portable Projectors


The projector world is full of many types and varieties of projectors, everything from interactive projectors to mind blowing 4K short throw projectors. One thing that many people incorrectly take for granted is the mobility of different models. As not all projectors are created equal in image, neither are all projectors created equal in portability. However, there are a few pico portable projectors that can be just as high end as their larger cousins. 

As there are so many portable projectors out now, you will want to do what you can to make sure your money is being spent on the best possible product. On the bright side, some of the new portable projectors aren't nearly as expensive as you might think. But then again, I have no idea what you think.. so take a look the the following three portable projector offerings!

The InFocus IN1146 Portable Projector
When it comes to the InFocus IN1146, the one thing that needs to be noted is the bang that you're getting for your buck. The starting price for this particular portable projector is only $650. And what are you getting for that amount of money? A lot.. which means the features that this projector is equipped with justify the price. One of the best features is the IN1146's expansive connectivity options. This portable projector gives you the ability to present anything from a USB drive, your laptop, an SD card, or really any smart device. It can also be ordered with an optional WiFi adapter, which could make connecting on the go a lot easier . The start up time for this projector is extremely low as well, as it comes standard with an LED light engine. All of that coupled with the fact that the LED light system offers up to 30,000 hours of use before maintenance make this a very powerful contender for your dollar.

The Epson PowerLite 1770W Projector
The Epson is a bit sleeker looking than the InFocus IN1146. That being said, it needs to be more than just a pretty face, right? The PowerLite 1770W boasts a color and brightness output of 3,000 Lumens. The fact that it goes up to 1080i resolution, coupled with the brightness and color, means that you're getting a very nice picture for what you're paying. Speaking of price, this projector is a bit more than InFocus mentioned above. The PowerLite 1770W will run you around $950. Running this projector at full power will give you about 4,000 hours of usage. Tack on an extra 1,000 hours if you run it in eco mode. The USB port gives the feature of instant projection via USB Plug n' Play. This Epson projector also comes with a 2-year warranty. A bit better than the InFocus's 1-year warranty.

The Casio XJ-A257 Projector
This XJ-A257 is suited for those with a bit more scratch in their wallets. You're going to be paying about $1,500 for this projector, but again, you're getting your money's worth. It's brightness also sits at 3,000 Lumens, just like the Epson PowerLite. The max video resolution is the highest of all three, with 1080p resolution at 60 fps. It comes with a 3-year warranty as well. It's also a powerhouse in the lamp life category. It might not be 30,000 hours, but 20,000 hours of usage isn't bad either! How is it even able to achieve that amount of usage? It's all thanks to its Hybrid Light Source that combines LED light technology with laser technology to give outstanding brightness and lamp life. If you have the dough for it, the Casio XJ-A257 could be the best purchase option for anyone looking into portable projectors.

Though we have just covered three models, there are countless portable projectors out there to choose from. Before making your purchase, just make sure you know what you're going to be using your projector for and what your maximum budget will be. But in my opinion, if those two criteria are a fit, you can't really go wrong with either of these three!

Casio Debuts New XJ-UT301WN LampFree Short Throw Projector For Education

Casio recently unveiled a new projector aimed at the education market. In the projector industry short-throw projectors are the standard for use in education. This new projector is known as the XJ-UT301WN and is billed, according to Casio, as the world's brightest LampFree Ultra Short Throw projector. The XJ-UT301WN comes with a native resolution of 1200x800 and a native aspect ratio of 16:10.

In addition to that, the projector also has a contrast ratio of 1800:1 and is capable of producing an image of 50" to 110". According to Casio, an 87" image can be projected from a distance of 21.5" from the screen while a 77" image can be displayed from 18.8" away. The XJ-UT301WN also has support for 16.77 million colors and there is also a built-in mini D-Sub, HDMI and Composite for video connectivity. There is a WiFi option that is also available.

Like I mentioned earlier, the XJ-UT301WN is a lamp-free projector, utilizing Casio's LampFree technology. This means it is able to eliminate a very annoying issue that every projector has...short lamp life. Most lamps for projectors do not last long and they are pretty expensive to replace. Casio's LampFree technology uses a combination of a laser, florescent element and LED light to create a hybrid light source. This light source is good. This light source is good for up to 20,000 hours and is capable of a 3,100 lumen output.

Casio has fitted the XJ-UT301WN with 2GB of integrated memory which allows for file format storage internally. This means that you don't need an external computer to store files. In addition to that, Casio has also developed a mobile app for both iOS and Android that allows the user to annotate presentations from the mobile device as well as capture and save. What's more is that the app also allows the user to display a web browser in real time.

Casio expects the XJ-UT301WN projector to ship sometime in Q3 of this year for a retail price of $1,999.99.

New Hybrid Light Source from Casio

casio green slim projectorsCasio’s new Green Slim Projectors have the potential to change the projector world. They have discovered and produced the first mercury-free light source that is completely capable of high-brightness projection. This is definitely a finding that is going to draw a lot of attention.

So what’s the difference between the mercury lamps and the new Casio Green Slim Hybrid light source? Well, I’m glad that you asked! Mercury lamps are the light source that comes standard right now in most home theater and business projectors. When it comes to brightness, mercury lamps certainly deliver, but one of the big issues with this type of light source is that it needs to be replaced about every 3,000 hours. These lamps also have the potential to leak harmful materials into the ground if they are not disposed of correctly.

There are other light sources that certain projectors utilize such as LED and lasers, but these sources have their share of issues as well. Although these sources are much better for the environment, until recently they could not be used as a light source except for very small, low lumen projectors. For some reason, people couldn’t figure out how to get the color green to project with these light sources. A high-output method could not be discovered to mass produce the green lighting.

So how has Casio changed all of this around? Well their new Hybrid light source utilizes a laser, a fluorescent element, and an LED. The results of this intriguing combination are a clear, crisp, 2,000 to 2,500 lumen picture. Unlike mercury lamps, Casio’s new Hybrid light source doesn’t burn out. It is estimated that after 6,000 hours of use it could save the average user close to $800 over a projector using a mercury lamp. This isn’t the only thing that’s great about the new projector with the Hybrid light source. There is also an instant off function so you don’t have to wait for the projector to cool down, the projector and light source are backed by a 3-year warranty, it’s the thinnest high brightness projector available, it weighs a mere 5 pounds, and it features a USB host function, wireless PC communication capabilities, and a HDMI terminal.

The new line of Green Slim projectors from Casio starts at only $799. These are projectors that are definitely worth looking into.

Check out the other new projector technology that is emerging right now.

Casio's New Line of Green Slim Projectors

Casio's New Line of Green Slim Projectors
Earlier this year, at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Casio announced a new line "green" projectors. Based on the hybrid laser and LED light source the company developed, the projectors are mercury-free.

Despite being mercury-free, the Green Slim projectors have brightness levels of anywhere from 2,000 -3,000 lumens. The projectors will come in a diverse lineup, with models that can do anything from accommodate WXGA Real display at 1,280-by-800 dpi to project without a computer, yet communicate wirelessly with computers. The line's light source uses a blue light that comes from a blue laser, green light converted from the blue with a fluorescent element, and also, light from a high-lumen red LED through a DLP chip onto the screen.

The portable projectors will be 1.7 x 11 x 8.5 inches and weigh about five pounds. The laser and LED hybrid light source is said to improve color purity compared to lamps that do use mercury. The lamps are said to last about 20,000 hours compared to 2,000 hours of Casio's other products. Also, no cool-down is needed when you turn the projectors off and upon turning them on, you'll reach maximum brightness in only eight seconds. They come with a side-angle 2X optical zoom lens and automatically correct vertical distortion due to projector position making them very versatile.

So what other kind of features will the Green Slim projectors have?

- Four of the models - the XJ-A255, XJ-250, XJ-A245 and XJ-A240 - will accommodate WXGA Real display at 1,280 by 800 dpi, which allows for both real size and wide presentations.

- Four of the models - the XJ-A255, XJ-A245, XJ-A155, and the XJ-A145 - can communicate wirelessly with up to four computers and can project presentations, spreadsheets, word-processor documents, PDF files and other computer data, still images (JPEG/BMP), and moving images (AVI format: Motion JPEG) by simply using USB memory.

- The projectors can also connect directly to a Multiprojection Camera YC-430, which can project non-digitized and even 3-D objects.

Casino hasn't said how much the projectors will cost, or when they'll be available, but they do plan to add more products to the Green Slim line. The new products will also use the hybrid LED and laser light source.

These new SuperSlim projectors are 43mm at their widest point and 32mm at their slimmest, and best of all - they are respectably bright.

They also weigh under 4 pounds.

Other features these new Casio projectors include are 2x power zoom and focus lens; automatic and manual vertical keystone correction; RS-232 control; 1 watt mono speaker; and security features including a kensington lock and power on password. The XJ-S68 and XJ-S63 are built on the same chassis but the XJ-S68 has a USB port that can be used for wireless connectivity.

This projector sports 2500 lumens, an 1800:1 contrast ratio, 2X zoom lens, 1280 X 800 video output, HDMI input, and direct power on/off.
