Microvision developed a 720p HD (1280×720) laser pico projector, due in 2011

Microvision has developed a new 720p (1280×720) HD ready laser pico projector. They will demonstrate this projector at the SID conference tomorrow. The new projector has 15 lumens of brightness, which makes it brighter than their SHOW-WX projector which has only 10 lumens, and a WVGA (848x480) resolution.

This is still just a prototype - Microvision only plans to have a commercial product based on this engine in the second half of 2011. We have something to look forward to...

Second half of 2011?! BOooo! You had me all excited, Lol. I bought the Aaxa L1 based on some other reviews and it has been awesome. I bet they have a new model out by next year too. So much exciting stuff! The L1 is already 20 lumens though (http://www.aaxatech.com/products/l1_laser_pico_projector.htm). Will the extra pixels really matter that much with the new Microvision if it's not bright enough to get a big screen? The L1 is 800x600 compared to 1280x720 on this one. Thanks for your help.

I agree, it seems a long time

I agree, it seems a long time to wait for it!

The Aaxa L1 does seem like a good product, but after doing a bit of research I went for the 3m Mpro 150. It supports Powerpoint, PDF etc... but it has a handy little zoom feature as well, which is nice to have. It comes with a 2gb SD card instead of a USB and it has 1gb of memory onboard too, I use it all the time, it's great!
