FPS Pearl Portable Cinema M3 Pocket Projector Review
Weighing in at just 5 ounces, it’s a got a whole load of features that would make it choice for a projector. The FPS Pearl Portable Cinema M3 Pocket Projector, other than looking really cool, will be able to do much that other pocket projectors don’t. It’s come in to compete with other newly released pocket projectors, and its standing its own ground quite well.
What can you expect?
- It may seem odd that this is the first thing to mention, but it’s because so many pocket projectors have failed to get it right – it’s got a long battery life. At close to 3 hours, you can get a full movie on it without having to plug in to a power source. Most pocket projectors will do 1 hour and you have to get them recharged. At 3 hours, it will live through even quite a long business presentation without dying on you. And it means too, that you don’t have to carry power cables everywhere you go.
- It can connect to a range of devices, all the way from your iPhone and iPod to your MP3 player, as well as your mobile, Wii, PSP and PDA. And not just these – since it comes with a number of connecting cables, all you need to do is check whether the cable can go into your device – it plays presentations in many different formats.
- It’s got internal memory (2GB). This means all you have to do is save your presentation onto it, slip it into your pocket and your good to go. No other devices necessary.
- It weighs only 5 ounces – don’t worry about it weighing you down.
- It has a wide screen at 16:9. Most others will give you 4:3.
- It supports multi-language, again not a very common feature with pocket projectors.
- You’ll get better sound than with most – the internal speakers actually do make a difference. Many pocket projectors have internal speakers, but the quality of the sound is such that you have to hook up another set of speakers especially if you have a group presentation or want some music. The ones on the FPS Pearl Portable Cinema M3 Pocket Projector actually work quite nicely.
- It comes with a free tripod, a plus for any projector. Tripods help to minimize fuss during presentation; once you set up your projector, you’ll not have to keep adjusting it.
- You can return it within 3o days if you’re not happy with it.
- It comes with a 1 year warranty.
Any cons to this little projector? It’s a little sensitive, so you need to handle with care.
