FAVI PJM-1000 Mini Projector Review, August 1, 2009
This review is from: FAVI Mini Pocket Projector, PJM-1000 - Mini tripod incuded. (Electronics)
Length:: 2:17 Mins
FAVI PJM-1000 Mini Projector Review:
This projector came to us well packaged directly from FAVI in a generic cardboard box with an attractive colored box inside. Inside the color box we removed a projector, Lithium Ion battery, extra long VGA Cable, Composite/RCA Video Cable, RCA Adapter, User Guide, AC Adapter/Batter Charger, and a flexible stand. The AC adapter comes with international plug adapters for use abroad. FAVI seems to have made this projector with the traveler in mind so we thought it fitting to demo the PJM-1000 while on a commercial airplane flight.
RATINGS:
-USER GUIDE: 9/10. The user guide made setup easy with product visuals and simple quick-start steps.
-SETUP 9/10. User friendly device, very plug and play.
-DISPLAY: 8/10. Good colors and image quality. We would have liked to see a higher native resolution.
-BRIGHTNESS: 6/10. When compared to other pico projectors its brightness performed exceedingly well. Although when we compared its brightness to larger standard sized projectors it performed poorly. We recommend a dimly lit environment if attempting to project a picture larger than 40 inches.
-INPUTS: 7/10. On the rear of the unit there is a VGA input for connecting to a laptop/PC and video input for connecting to a standard video composite cable. On the side of the unit there is a DC-in to connect the AC power adapter. We were disappointed there was no HDMI input.
-ACCESSORIES: 9/10. Included in the box were all essential cables to connect to a laptop/PC and DVD/Video source. We were able to connect to an iPod touch and an iphone with cables that were not included. We found the extra long VGA cable and international AC Adapter to be a plus.
-VALUE: 9/10. We found it to be one of the lowest priced pico projectors on the market. Excellent value with its overall performance and low price point.
-OVERALL: 8/10. Recommended. We highly recommend the PJM-1000 to any business professional or to anyone who travels.

Great for travel, September 26, 2009
This review is from: FAVI Mini Pocket Projector, PJM-1000 - Mini tripod incuded. (Electronics)
The compact size of the projector is its most attractive quality, such that it can be easily taken anywhere. Plus, it's very much plug 'n play (if you have a Macbook with a mini DVI port, you'll need a VGA adaptor). The downside is, as previous reviews have noted, the picture quality (the size of projection, as well as the brightness and clarity of images are limited compared to traditional multimedia projectors). It can also cause some temporary changes in the settings of the computer it's hooked into (desktop images on my macbook get enlarged while the projector's in use). So, if you're looking for picture quality, go with a traditional projector, but if you're looking for something "handy" (as opposed to something "bulky") with which to project images on pretty much any pale, blank surface within range, try this one.

Handy little gem, June 18, 2009
This review is from: FAVI Mini Pocket Projector, PJM-1000 - Mini tripod incuded. (Electronics)
I received this projector as a gift for Christmas and couldn't believe how such a small package can pack so much in. It's been a life saver in multiple work situations when we didn't have a projector. Everyone is impressed when I pull this gem out of my laptop bag and project a perfect image on the wall. Easy set-up and great picture quality. The little tripod is a great addition. With an A/V composite cable from Apple, you can use this projector to display images from the iPhone. Presentation in your pocket!
