Review: 3M MPro120 Pico Projector (Part 2 of 2)

[Yomanda666]

This is bad, cheap and nasty, a nice gimmick but get the lumins up and HD and your taling :)

@Yomanda666

It's new tachnology. I'm sure they'll be a lot brighter in a couple years. Albeit not as small, there's some Picos with 100+ lumens.

Glad you enjoyed.

I am just about to purchase this.

Could you confirm for me whether the power supply is universal?

I know in the U.S. it's rated at 110V, whilst other countries are 220-240V.

Does this work for both?

Thank you.

@tohey

I'm sure the plug will be for your region, if you purchase from a site or store in your country.

[tohey]

@georgef551 Oh I'm not worried about the plug, (after watching a few reviews/unboxing videos) I noticed they come with 4 different plugs.

I can only just assume that the supplied adapter is a travel-type (universal) and works in different regions (110V-240V).

But just wanted to confirm that, as I will be traveling and would like a universal power adapter.

Anyway, I appreciate the time taken to respond to my questions, you're a nice bloke.

Cheers

@tohey

It is a universal supply. Just didn't remember, since losing it. :) I use the MPro100's to run it (until I find the "right" one).

Hi George,

I actually have one more question.

What would you say is the largest, watchable screen size this pico projector can produce?

I know it is rated for up to 50 inches, but can it go better in a dark room? Or is 50" the absolute limit and actually where it gets quite bad?

Thanks again.

[georgef551]

@tohey

Albeit in a pitch black room, you can get away with 120", 60" in a dark room, with very limited light (refrigerator light equivelant).

[tohey]

I'm glad you demonstrated it in a range of lighting situations but I was hoping to see it in the BEST (darkest) conditions, as well, towards the end, just to get an idea of how well it can actually turn out.

Maybe you did this is part 1, I am not sure, but I it would've been nice.

Thanks!

[georgef551]

@tohey

That's what Part 1 was for, although the camera didn't pick up the intensity as well.

I did do the "100-inch" test, it does okay. It's bright areas that skew people's opinions about these smaller projectors.

Thanks for the review; very in depth.

I tried. Glad you enjoyed it.
