hey guys I'm Sharon Vaknin at CES 2014 taking a first look at the Philips screamy oh now this is the first short throw projector and what that means is that the projector doesn't have to be mounted somewhere across the room it can be as close as four inches to the wall you're projecting on and that screen can go from 50 inches to a hundred inches depending on how far away it is so it's very flexible what's also unique about this guy is that it uses an LED light engine so instead of using the traditional bulb that you might have to change after a while you don't ever have to replace those LEDs and Philips claims that will give you a nicer crisper picture the projector runs a full version of Android which gives you access to a suite of apps including YouTube and other video streaming services as well as DLNA so sharing files over the same network and miracast which works with other Android devices it's also got bluetooth of course Wi-Fi and a bunch of inputs including HDMI auxilary an SD card slot and of course USB what's surprising is that built in is a Dolby Digital 2.1 speaker system now usually if you buy a projector you'll want to add on your own audio system but we took this guy for a spin and I have to say it sounds awesome finally you can't ignore the design this projector looks really good and it includes this handy carrying strap so you can take it from place to place and maybe have a little movie viewing party we don't have an exact release date for the screen yo but we do know that it will be $17.99 and it's coming out in summer of 2014 for cnet.com I'm Sharon Vaknin at CES 2014
