Pico Pocket Projectors

Generally as of 2016, true pico projectors are definitely sub-1 pound, have internal batteries, and almost always output no more than 100 lumens, many producing 10 to 50 lumens.

These pico projectors are no match for the larger pocket projectors, which we consider to be more “serious” in their use for business, education, and home, but the pico projectors can do a 2 or 3 person presentation is someone’s office with the lights down, with perhaps a 40” image projected).  They don’t have the power to fill larger screens with full lights on.  Pico projectors are probably most popular as home entertainment devices, but again, not powerful enough for a really large screen.  Still they can project a good deal larger image than one could watch on a laptop, when streaming movies, general TV or sports.  That makes them a fun gift idea for the millennial who has “cut the cord” from cable / satellite.

Pricing on Pico projectors runs from a bit under $100, to about $400 street price, with the more expensive ones brighter, and higher resolution.
