Embedded Projectors on Sony Camcorders will be a LOT better with PicoP

Headed to the local Best Buy with assistance to compare the ShowWx with the DLP projector embedded in a Sony Camcorder.

Apologies for the lack of exactly comparable content, and the non-pure screen. We were trying to be discreet with our informal test. 

The ShowWx is five years old -- compared to last years DLP. The PicoP demo available shown at the Microvision stockholder meeting this year is MUCH better than the projector demonstrated here.

  • The ShowWx is rated at 10 lumens
  • The DLP claims 25 lumens

Clarity of the DLP is pretty good, but it seems kind of "washed out" 
The focus requirement on the DLP is very touchy.

The throw-ratio of the ShowWx is MUCH better. The first picture shows the projectors at the same distance from the viewing surface. The picture of the ShowWx is much larger at the same distance.



Comparing brightness. ("10 lumen" ShowWx on the left "25 lumen" DLP on the right.)



This is the tag for the Sony model tested.


* Thanks Omer!
