Optoma Pico PK120 Pocket Projector

The Optoma Pico PK120 Pocket Projector ($200 street) is a tiny, featherweight pico projector that can operate with its included AC adapter or by battery power. Its image quality is decent enough considering the projector's low brightness. The PK120 is a DLP-based projector rated at 18 lumens in brightest mode. It has a native nHD (640 by 360 pixels) resolution, a widescreen format with a 16:9 aspect ratio. Its LED light source has an expected lifetime of 20,000 hours. The projector, matte black with a silver strip on top, measures 2.8 by 4.6 by 0.8 inches—pretty much the dimensions of an iPhone, though twice as thick. The bottom has thread to fit an optional mini-tripod. (Many pico projectors, such as the Favi E1-LED-Pico [$200 street, 3.5 stars], come with such tripods.) It weighs 0.3 pounds with battery in place, and 0.5 pounds with the AC adapter. Included with the projector is an interchangeable, decorative red bezel. It has 2GB of internal memory, expandable up to 32GB with a microSD card (not included).
