Aiptek PocketCinema V10 Projector Review
The Aiptek PocketCinema V10 projector is one of the leading competitors in the pocket projector craze. It features 10 ANSI lumens, a VGA (640 x 480) resolution, and is the lightest projector ever, weighing 0.2 lbs. Recently, the writers at Gizmodo got their hands on one and were quite impressed with what they saw. The major feature the writers liked was the SD slot, which allowed the projector to perform with out needing an external connection. This feature alone made the V10 better than the 3M MPro110 projector they reviewed two weeks ago. The V10 also features a media player that will allow a user to play JPEG stills and MP3 music files with out needing to alter them in some strange way. The only concern the writers had was that the V10 did not have a VGA port, like the MPro110 had. However, the writers thought that the SD slot was the better way to go for a portable device. The image displayed was watchable, but not the best. The writers decided not to test the quality with the usual tests they use for high quality TVs because they knew it wouldn’t be anywhere as good. If you decide to purchase the V10 the Gizmodo writers recommend that you don’t try to make your images any bigger than 50 inches, because after that, the image starts to blur and become unwatchable. The final comment made was, “In two weeks I’ve gone from not believing much in the pico movement to being a fervent supporter. And if you’re going to be an early adopter, I am happy to say that, because of the Aiptek PocketCinema V10’s better geek features and much improved build quality over the 3M MPro110-and $50 cheaper price to boot-I found a pico projector that I can genuinely recommend. The only hold back is that they’re just gonna get better and better.”
