Philips PPX2480 PicoPix Pocket

Projector

HowWe Tested

The Philips PicoPix Pocket Projector has

the right combination of technology, price

and connectivity. It’s a great little unit, and

although we’ve seen better image quality, the

other factors make it stand out.

Each projector was connected to a laptop and an Asus tablet via HDMI and mini-HDMI where possible.We used a selection of
office documents, images, videos and some basic gaming (using the gameSuperHot) to see how well the projectors functioned
with static and fast moving images, as well as colour and detail in a well-litroom.

Pico Genie P100

This week’s Highly Commended was between

the Pico Genie P100 and theVivitek Qumi Q5.

Both are great little portable projectors,

but we think the Pico Genie has it on price,

although theVivitek does offer better

projector technology. It’s something you really

need to try yourself in the environment you’re

going to use it in before committing to a buy.
