Now, let’s take a more detailed look at the Philips PicoPix Micro PPX320 and check everything that this Wireless DLP Projector has to offer.
DESIGN & SPECS
Starting with the device’s size, the Philips PicoPix Micro PPX320 is actually quite small, featuring an ultra compact design that makes it just slightly larger than a Knoppers chocolate bar. Thanks to its ultra-small size, this Wireless DLP Projector can easily fit in the palm of your hand.
Not only that, but if you spend a lot of your time on-the-go, this tiny projector is the perfect companion for your Smartphone, as it allows you to easily share and screen-mirror all of your phone’s content.

Ultimately, the Philips PicoPix Micro PPX320’s compact size makes it extremely easy for you to carry it inside your bag or backpack, thus making it the ideal companion for any road trips, work presentations, or friends’ visits.
This particular projector feature an ultra-bright display that ultimately allows its users to project their content with an image-size that can go from as little as 10 inches all the way up to 80 inches, thus allowing everyone in the room (no matter the size of that room) to enjoy a clear view.
This projector can be set to replay all of your content at a screen distance that can vary between 2.62 to 6,56 ft. (80-200 cm), which means you actually get a very flexible placement for such a small unit.
While the projector’s base resolution is exactly 960 x 540 pixels, this model actual supports resolutions up to 1920 x 1080 pixels. This means that you’re ensured to get rich, lifelike hues and precise detail for all of content, and that goes especially for HD movies and HD film recordings that you might’ve done with higher-quality recording cameras (4K recording of radical sports, 4K Nature Filming and Documenting, etc.).
Users are offered a 16:9 Aspect Ratio, a 1,2:1 Throw Ratio and a 500:1 Contrast Ratio. Thanks to the projector’s 1,2:1 Throw Ratio this model can accurately reproduce any wide images in their correct proportions. At the same time, the projector’s featured 500:1 Contrast Ratio allows users to always get a multitude of shades between black and white, which ultimately ensures that you’re always offered a rich color saturation for whatever content you’re projecting or mirroring.

As such, its powerful LED light source can displays rich and vivid colors in a very enjoyable way.
Keep in mind that even if you use this projector on an average of 4 hours per day, it will take you around 20 years of usage to actually end the unit’s lifespan. This basically means that you’ll most likely never have to replace its internal LED lamp.
In addition, the projector’s power consumption is far lower than a regular lamp based projector, and that makes this projector an eco friendly device that can not only bring you a bigger screen display than most other lamp based projectors out there, but also a much more immersive experience at a very-low cost.
Lastly, the unit also comes equipped with a built-in 2W speaker that can provide crisp sound, and also features its own multimedia player (discussed at the end of the article). This ultimately makes this projector the perfect device for film watching or for work presentations at the office.
