though it may look a bit like a laser printer this little gadget here is actually an ultra short throw projector it's capable of producing an image up to a hundred inches from only a few feet away hi I'm Ty Pendlebury and today I'm looking at the Philips screen er projector this little projector is designed to replace a television and has the added advantage of being portable for impromptu movies in your backyard for example unusually the projector is driven by an Android operating system which means you can theoretically load new apps on it but in practice is quite difficult to do the other features include bluetooth streaming miracast mirroring from a foreign and some decent onboard speakers the problem is image quality of this projector isn't very good and that's a shame for a gadget that's almost 2,000 bucks colors are way oversaturated and they can't be fixed black levels are poor and the image is just way too dim on the plus side the really short throw and super low latency means this could be an option for gamers though the connector may not be able to see you if you use it in the dark as a conversation piece though it's pretty great and it's not as if the screen you know has video file pretensions it's just that for a fun family-oriented machine it's about $1,000 to expensive this has been Ty Pendlebury for cnet.com
