Portable projector maker Pico Genie brings its latest consumer offering at ISE 2018-- the M550 Plus, a pico projector that, at 650 lumens, is the company's brightest yet.
The M550 Plus beams 1280x800 resolution images in dimensions of to 200-inch diagonal from 0.5 - 3m distance. It offers 3D as well as regular 2D images, and promises a battery life of up to 3 hours on a single charge. The contrast ratio is 1000:1, while lamp life clocks at around 20000 hours. Audio is also included via 3W speakers.
