GREAT I MEAN REALLY GREAT
By B. stephens
This is a wonderful projector but understand what it is for and you should be very happy. Here is what you should not expect from this projector or any small projector. A super clear and bright picture in a room with a lot of light. That will not happen with one of these projectors. With that said what you can expect is a really surprisingly bright clear projection in a dim or dark room. I did a lot of research on these projectors and this was not my first choice. I bought the Microvision SHOWWX+ HDMI Laser Pico Projector (AA0123600-020) as it just seemed like it would be the best choice, it was laser it auto focused. In reality, this was a cool projector but the projected image looked so phony and you could see little sparkles of red blue and green constantly on the image. The image was razor sharp but the sparkles were bad and the image looked like it was a laser image made with red blue and green lasers. This projector also had to be used in extremely dark rooms to see the projection or it was really washed out. I was really disappointed with this projectors image quality. however, it was so compact and it did an okay job so I kept it. Unfortunately this projector got stolen the first week I had it. So I had to get another one. No way was I going to get the Micro-vision again. So I started looking around again. This time I know that 20 lumens the micro vision had was not enough. I also wanted HDMI. So I decided on the AAXA projector. What a good choice it turned out to be. It was about tripple the size of the Microvision but still small about the size of two decks of cards. The bigger size was not a problem due to the image quality. It was so much better than the Microvision I could not belive my eyes. It had better controls, brighter more connections and all the cable came with it. One feature you cannot do without is a tripod mount on a projector this size. The cables are heavier than the projector and it will move all over the place without a tripod to stabilize it. The Microvision did not have a tripod and that was a terrible oversight on the manufacturers part.I hook this up to watch movies off my ipod to play games with my ipad. It hooks up to my video camera, my digital camera and even my playstation. Anything that has a video out will work with this projector. It is also over $100 cheaper than the Microvision. You will not be disappointed.

By Cristino Ruiz
I wanted a pico projector out of curiosity, to see what can it be used for. I wanted it to be portable, light, small, bright, with HDMI, VGA and composite inputs. The P3 has all of this (50 lumens on AC, 35 on its internal batteries) PLUS it can play some video formats off a USB drive. The internal speaker is basically useless, but you can plug in a set of external amplified speakers. Mine came with a flexible base, VGA, composite and USB cables. Plus a DC adapter for power and recharging.Image quality is excellent. Focusing is a bit tricky but you get the hang of it very quickly. The fan is quiet, turn-on time is about 8 seconds.This projector produces a very bright 32-40" image in my brightly-lit living room. At night you can make the image bigger but you'll have to dim down the lights.You can set it to project inverse and upside-down images, so mounting possibilities are plenty. However, it does NOT have any kind of trapezoidal setup so you have to make sure the projector is as flat as possible.All in all, I am very happy with the P3. Use it to amaze and entertain a couple of friends and you'll be happy too. :-)

Luminosity, the Bane of Micro Projectors
By TP Reitzel
Although the colors aren't nearly as well balanced as those projected by Optoma's PK-201 due primarily to moderate contrast, the quality is still good. I certainly do NOT recommend Optoma's PK series, i.e. PK-201 & PK-301, of micro projectors due to defects in its thermal handling which lead to fried microprocessors. Stay away from Optoma's PK series until they redesign their projectors. The P3's native resolution of 1024x600 is a bit awkward to use in practice and largely limited to NetBooks. AAXA's P3 comes with cables for a variety of attachments in addition to an AC power adapter. My only complaint with the cables lies in the omission of an HDMI cable, but AAXA does include a SHORT, i.e. ~ 2', VGA cable which needs to be lengthened by 2 more feet. I recommend that an owner use the VGA connector instead of the HDMI connector if possible for connecting the P3 to a computer. Since the 2' VGA cable isn't nearly long enough, you'll have to find or buy a 6' VGA cable to extend the short VGA cable supplied by AAXA. Note that AAXA's VGA cable uses a male 15-pin VGA connector so plan accordingly. Since I already own a 6' VGA cable with male connectors, I simply bought a 15-pin female to female adapter to connect both cables to the P3. In xorg.conf for GNU/Linux using nVidia's binary graphics driver with the VGA output (HDMI would be similar, but not exact):In the Monitor section of xorg.conf, include a line similar to the following ModeLine because it'll be needed for the Screen section: ModeLine "1024x600_60.00" 48.96 1024 1064 1168 1312 600 601 604 622 -hsync +vsyncIn the Screen section of xorg.conf for VGA output, the following code should work fine:Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Device0" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultDepth 24 Option "DynamicTwinView" "True" Option "Coolbits" "0" Option "Stereo" "0" Option "nvidiaXineramaInfoOrder" "DFP-0" Option "metamodes" "DFP: 1920x1080 +0+0, CRT: 1024x600_60.00 +1920+240" SubSection "Display" Depth 24 EndSubSectionEndSectionThe aforementioned code creates a 1024x600 window to the right of my main desktop which has a native resolution of 1920x1080. Personally, I use the P3's 1024x600 window to project my multimedia software, i.e. MythTV and XBMC, on a 40"x40" screen. * For this reason, I wanted the highest resolution available at a reasonable cost. I'll accept the lower luminosity and HEAT in exchange for greater resolution and reliability. AAXA's P3 seems to be the correct device so far. The controls on the P3 are large enough to press with human fingers and are aligned on TOP of the device within easy reach. The remote control is capable of turning the P3 on and off, but the remote control is quite crowded so effective use will require some familiarity with the buttons. Furthermore, the owner will have to experiment a bit with aiming the remote control at the P3 for proper operation as the IR sensor is apparently located at the rear of the P3. In many situations where the rear of the P3 is located within a few feet of a wall and the operator is to the side of the P3, just bounce the beam from remote control off the wall behind the P3 for reliable operation. Although the fan can be heard while running, I just hope the thermal design is considerably better than Optoma's PK series since I'd like to keep the P3 for a few years. Although I don't have the equipment to test the loudness, I'd guess that the loudness of the fan is at least 40 db at ~ 3 feet or so. If the operation of a clearly audible fan bothers you, look elsewhere. Personally, I'll accept the noise from a fan as long as heat from the device doesn't fry any integrated circuits. AAXA's P3 is a bit bulkier than I prefer, but it's acceptable. The length and width are fine, but the depth of 1.4" is a bit thick for a micro projector. Personally, I prefer a .9" to 1.1" thickness for a micro projector, but NOT at the expense of improper thermal handling. With the current technological state of LEDs, I prefer a limit on luminosity when used in micro projectors for the sake of reliability. Note that AAXA's luminosity rating of 50 lumens for the P3 is considerably higher than its actual tested luminosity of 35 lumens. In a darker environment, 35 lumens are enough output for projecting an image with a 40" to 50" diagonal. Luminosity is actually 20 lumens while running on the P3's battery. Regardless, I try to remove power from the P3 for at least an hour for every 3 hours of operation to let the unit cool. Personally, I think the amount of heat generated by LEDs producing 30 to 50 tested lumens is near the current limit for micro projectors when operated continuously for several hours. If an owner simply wants to use a micro projector for a brief presentation approaching 30 minutes or so, then AAXA's P4x might be acceptable, but with the greater luminosity comes the potential for premature failure if continuous operation is extended to hours. Although the P3 doesn't include a slot for an SD card, it does have a miniature USB slot along with a cable to adapt the miniature USB slot to a standard USB slot. I've successfully used this cable to attach SanDisk's 5-in-1 ImageMate USB card reader to the P3 with excellent results. The P3 plays most MP4 formats so most files using this container will probably play just fine. Although I haven't tested the possibility, I don't think the P3 will currently play files encoded with WebM (VP8) unfortunately. Since the P3 includes an option to upgrade its firmware, maybe a future revision will allow the P3 to play additional formats. At this point, I can't address the life of the batteries, but I'll raise this issue in the comments when I can appropriately test them. So far, I've enjoyed my experience with the P3.* Within the next couple of weeks, I'll include a picture in the gallery for AAXA's P3.
