I am eagerly waiting for it to come out, and I will not use it to project videos...]]>Sep 16th 2009 12:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/16/microvisions-show-wx-pico-projector-out-soon/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/16/microvisions-show-wx-pico-projector-out-soon/Sep 16th 2009 1:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/16/microvisions-show-wx-pico-projector-out-soon/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/16/microvisions-show-wx-pico-projector-out-soon/
PROJECTOR FAIL

I just got a15 lumen pocket projector for $150 new.]]>Sep 16th 2009 2:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/16/microvisions-show-wx-pico-projector-out-soon/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/16/microvisions-show-wx-pico-projector-out-soon/thanks,

IMHO, they are chasing the wrong market. Make a home theater projector with 1080P and higher lumens. Laser is a great tech, but so far it's only being used for rear projection by Mitsubishi.

Using rounded numbers and not too much math…

The SHOW WX produces 10 lumens at the source(single mirror), for each scanned pixel. Once the pixel expands and hits the “display surface”, it is less than 10 lumens. BUT the image is made of roughly 407K pixels that each have a lumen intensity of around 10 when they leave the mirror.

Displaying the image on a 1 square foot area, in a normally lit living room, you have to produce over 20 lumens per square foot. The SHIOW WX only needs to produce more lumens per pixel than 20/407K. Which it does very well until approximately 40″ diagonally. Of course, the darker the room, the darker the blacks will be as they are not diplayed.

Your retina does not “forget” the pixel image until it is refreshed by a next scan. It appears that the image is fully displayed but it is one pixel at once. Just fast enough that your "eye/brain team" get fooled into “thinking” it sees a full projected image.

The projected image is not leaving the projector at 10 lumens, each pixel of the image is.]]>Sep 17th 2009 8:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/16/microvisions-show-wx-pico-projector-out-soon/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/16/microvisions-show-wx-pico-projector-out-soon/As the other commenter said - desperation indeed!]]>Sep 17th 2009 4:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/16/microvisions-show-wx-pico-projector-out-soon/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/16/microvisions-show-wx-pico-projector-out-soon/Sep 29th 2009 12:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/16/microvisions-show-wx-pico-projector-out-soon/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/16/microvisions-show-wx-pico-projector-out-soon/
10 lumens is 10 lumens... the color and focus might be better but that doesn't mean anything if you can't see the image!
