  • Perfect projector for parties. Rectangular lens creates wide image that keeps the image from stretching. Fine picture quality, 896 inches. Startup time > 4 seconds. Deadsexy hardware.
  • Lithiumion batteries die after 2 hours use; how are we supposed to watch our Battlestar marathon? Battery recharge time 4 frakkin hours. Sucktastic speaker. Unless you have a videoout adapter, you cant project Office docs from your PC. Projector gets hot...

  • Low brightness limits useful image size. Volume is too low to be useful in most conditions. No audio output connection.
  • No bigger than a cell phone, the Optoma Pico PK101 projector is small enough to carry anywhere and is a particularly good companion for a video iPod....

  • So, all-in-all the Optoma Pico Projector is an impressive product, especially if you're looking for something to make presentations to a small group of people while on the road. While it's bright enough to be seen at short range you'll have to turn th...

  • If you have a portable application, be it gaming, watching YouTube videos, or just showing your friends your latest photos on your iPhone, digital camera, or other device with a composite video output, then the Pico is in its element. It also works f...
