Compact projector combining claimed 15,000-lumen brightness, Full HD support, auto keystone and a 360° rotatable stand. Built-in HiFi speakers, low-noise cooling and a long 65,000-hour lamp life aim to suit portable home entertainment.
Large, bright images – thanks to 15,000-lumen lamp and advanced LCD
Advanced LCD panels paired with the upgraded lamp deliver the stated 15,000-lumen output and accept Full HD 1080P input; lens construction helps reduce blue-light exposure. Auto keystone corrects geometry automatically for a rectangular projection.
Bright, detailed pictures are easier to achieve in dim rooms, and reduced blue light makes evening viewing gentler for younger viewers.
Simple phone and stick connections – with upgraded iOS direct connect and multiple inputs
Direct wired iOS connection uses a Lightning or USB-C to USB cable that supports data transfer for zero-latency mirroring; laptop, TV stick or Chromecast connections are recommended for DRM-protected streaming. HDMI and USB compatibility expands source options.
Quickly mirror photos and locally stored videos from a phone, while subscription services work best via a laptop or TV stick to avoid playback restrictions.
Truly portable and family friendly – with 360° stand, compact build and low noise
Super-small dimensions (4.8 × 3.7 × 2.1 inches) and a 320g weight combine with an ABS frosted finish for easy handling; the 360° rotatable stand removes angle constraints and an improved cooling system lowers fan noise by around 80%.
