    Cable

    • Written by from Bath

    Well its a great little projector but you do need to buy extra cables to plug into your Macbook, you also need a special lead to plug into the Iphone.
    I think i have spent about £70 on leads,

    You need to buy a HDMI mini cable to plug into an adapter which has a HDMI port which then has a USB adapter that plugs int the computer, lots of playing around to do before playing, trust me its not plug in and play out of the box,

    I am not saying its not a good projector its great but i feel all the cables should be included in the price.     …More

    AWESOME!

    • Written by from HARROW

    i just brought the pk201 off the Apple store, and it arrived sooner than estimated. it took ages deciding between the pk301 and pk201 and from my personal opinion i think the pk301 is more for buisness use. I fell in love with my pk201 after plugging it into my playstation 3 using a mini Hdmi to Hdmi cable. It was crystal clear after just a slight turn of the focus wheel. I also use it with my iphone 4, where it projects clearly anything u have in your library and on the youtube app. brilliant piece of kit, can take it anywhere. i give it 5* …More

    Great piece of kit

    • Written by from Southsea

    Received this as an Xmas present after nagging the wife ;)
    I spent 1 month reading all the reviews on the web and settled for this pocket projector over the PK301 due to throw distance.

    Easy setup, great throw distance. I use my one from 4.5m away giving a 70"+ viewable display - not diamond sharp at that distance but it may be the paint on my wall!!!

    I have used the 201 mainly watching films from my iPad via the Video app and You Tube. I have noticed that using VLC Player there is no volume passed through. Also viewing Safari web pages do not work either - so presenting web apps/pages or streaming TV is a no-go. Micro SD card playback a little temperamental with file format - these issues may just be operator error.

    But for a device slightly thicker that an iPhone 4, with 1hr plus battery - this is a great piece of kit. Also there is no need to have a fully darkened room to view!!

    Only 1 small complaint the iPad/iPhone connector lead could be slightly longer.

    All-in-all 5 stars even with the small niggles.     …More

    Fantastic but with a catch

    • Written by from Doncaster

    This is a sensational product, for such a small device the picture is fantastic, i've managed to get a perfect 10m diagonal picture from it with very good quality, you do need a very dark room though.

    you do get enough cables to do the job with some devices but be warned there are several cables required and check before you leave the store you have all for the device you have, otherwise you will be disappointed when you get it and it doesn't work

    get it right and you will have a whale of a time with this product.     …More

    Contrary to the past review, the PICO comes with all the cables you need. It's compact and works great! No downside yet for me.
