3M MPro110 Pocket Projector

{HIGH DEFINITION VIDEO}
The PERFECT little companion for showing off your camera's videos and pictures, without trying to cram 5 or 6 people around a tiny screen, the 3M MPro110 Pocket Projector!
In this video, unlike the others you see on YouTube or the 'net in general, we use this in REAL lighting: a 12'x12' room with 120 watts of light (2 60-watt bulbs, which really are 15 watt compact flourescents, that actually DOES mimmick 60 watt incandescents!).
You get to see how it handles normal, to somewhat brighter lighing, and in total darkness, getting that home theater image.
The 10 lumen white LED lights up the 640x480 LCoS display, which produces a slighly purplish tinge, but still gives off great colors and contrast. The RGB pattern on the LCoS is similar to color TV's before the '70's, which then had square phosphors after. We blow the image up very big to show the dot pattern, if the compression didn't wreck it.
It comes with a VGA cable (albeit very short), and a composite video cable and barrel connector, so RCA outputs, and mini-jack outputs are accepted (a little less cumbersome if output cable has mini-jack output).
You can't really go wrong!
No audio, though. Video requires speakers. The Optoma pocket projector has that, but the "2 hour" battery in on low power, no sound. Crank it full, with sound, MPro may outlive it.
This is almost 10 minutes of nerdom you'll never get back. Enjoy. :)

So lets say one was to hypothetically hook an xbox 360 up to such a device. Any idea how the quality would be?

@MrFatt4759

In SD, will be as good, or better, than a regular TV. Color will be a little weak, and purplish, but okay.

Better, strong color comes with the 120 or 150 version. Again, will look just fine.

Hey there my friend, So you'd say I could use it to wach movies, in a totally dark room, up to about 50 inches? or it would be useless for this? since i refuse to pay 500 bucks for a home theatre projector, and i can ge tthis one for 120 bucks.

Thanks!

You can get away with 120", but the colors would be very dark, and you'd need total darkness.

The MPro120 has better color, and can handle the task better, but if 110's are still available, it's not a bad investment. Color will not be as good as the 120, and the battery only goes for 1 hour, versus 2.5 with the 120.

how does it work with gaming consoles?? what kind of connectors does it use?

[georgef551]

@trufiend138

It comes with a special Composite A/V cable, with barrel connectors to work with any composite output device.

I THINK they only make the MPro120 and 150 now, which is a step up in brightness, color, and has audio. The 150 model has a little extra brightness.

Prices dropped quite a bit. Might have something to do with the MPro120 (I kept calling it MPro210).
