Sometimes even a four-inch smartphone screen may not seem enough. If so, would 200 inches do?
The iPower Sight can ? according to the manufacturer, iPowerUp ? take what is on your phone, tablet or computer screen and enlarge it, projecting an image up to 200 diagonal inches from a device that is itself pocket-size.
Both measures may be a shade optimistic. No doubt the projector is small, at about 4 by 4 by ? of an inch and just over three ounces, but you would still need a pretty big pocket. And while it can project a focused image at up to 200 inches, you wouldn?t want to do that unless you had a completely darkened room and a nicely reflective projection screen.
It was easy enough to watch an image enlarged to around 50 inches on a white wall on an overcast day. Considering the size of the projector, the quality was quite good. The Sight uses a DLP chip, which is covered with minuscule mirrors to reflect LED light to the screen. It is the same technology that has long been used in many full-scale, high-end projectors.
The Sight?s lamp kicks out 85 lumens, which is brighter than most similarly sized projectors, and it has resolution of 854 by 480 pixels, which qualifies as high definition, but you will not want this to replace your 1080p plasma TV. Unlike your TV, the Sight can run about two hours on battery power, or plugged in for a movie marathon.
The videos I projected from YouTube looked good. Noise didn?t distract me from Psy?s horsie dance, but I could find it if I looked for it.
The projector?s built-in speaker is as anemic as the one you would find on your phone or tablet. If you want to add some quality sound, you will need to connect to a separate speaker dock.
If what you?re looking for is a decent picture from a small package, perhaps for presentations, entertaining the kids on a trip or making video games wall-size in a dorm room, the iPower Sight is far, far superior to huddling around your phone.
Currently the projector is only available direct from iPowerUp for $350.
