![]() ![]() In addition to showing content from external sources, the Neo has what's in effect a built-in media player. Fortunately, it has enough connection choices to leave most users happy. One feature that the P300 Neo lacks, which we are seeing on a growing number of mini projectors-including the AAXA P2-A Smart Pico Projector, the Philips Pocket Projector PPX4350 Wireless, and the XSories X-Project WiFi-is wireless connectivity. Although the projector comes with a credit-card-sized remote, there are also basic controls on the projector's top for navigating menus. (The recent AAXA HD Pico Projector is the first AAXA projector we have encountered that labels the slot "SD card.") On the left side is the focus wheel. On the right side (as viewed from the back) are a mini-VGA port (which requires an adapter cable that is not included), the on-off switch, and a slot for a microSD card, labeled with the outdated Sandisk "TF-card" nomenclature. In back, it has an HDMI port, an AV port for use with the included composite audio/video connector cable, a port for a USB thumb drive, and an audio-out jack. The P300 Neo has a familiar range of input ports, similar to what we saw on the original P300. Its built-in, rechargeable battery provides up to 2.5 hours of operation on a charge when in Eco mode, according to AAXA. The P300 Neo includes a sturdy mini-tripod that screws into the bottom. ![]() It looks much the same as the original P300, though it's slightly smaller, some of the ports have been relocated, and the lens has been switched from the left to the right side (as seen from the front). It weighs just 12.8 ounces, so it is very portable. Measuring 1.2 by 5.5 by 3.5 inches (HWD), the P300 Neo is compact enough to fit into my outstretched palm, and should easily fit in a coat pocket. The LED light source's claimed lifetime is 30,000 hours, so the lamp should last as long as the projector. Its rated brightness is 420 lumens, a step up from the original P300, which was rated at 300. Tiny Widescreen DLP ProjectorĪ DLP projector with an LED-based light source, the P300 Neo has 720p (1,280-by-720) basic HD native resolution, slightly less than the original P300's 1,280-by-800, but its aspect ratio is more suitable for movies and other widescreen content. Its portability and long battery life make the Neo a solid projector to toss in your bag for on-the-road use. It has reasonably clear image quality and a wide range of connectivity choices, including displaying content stored on a microSD card or USB thumb drive, though it lacks wireless connectivity. The P300 Neo is slightly brighter than the original P300, and although the Neo's resolution is marginally lower, its ratio is more suitable to displaying movies and other widescreen content. With its onboard media player, the P300 Neo can project cartoons, movies and pictures directly from a USB stick or microSD card to entertain you and your group.The AAXA P300 Neo ($294) is an upgrade to the AAXA P300, the first battery-powered pico projector we tested. The device also works with a remote for an easy navigation. It projects a screen up to 120" in low light conditions and turns any wall to a large screen. You can take it with you if you have to make a presentation at work so that you don’t need to carry any equipment. The Aaxa P300 Neo fits nicely in your laptop bag or briefcase for travel and outdoor camping. This onboard battery is known as a 'premium grade' battery that is designed to retain 85% of its charge over 1000 charge cycles to make it a true portable device. The LED light source also enables the P300 Neo to achieve full brightness within seconds and turns off instantly as well. The LEDs lights can last over 30000 hours so you don’t have to change the bulb thanks to a LED light source that lasts 10 times longer. The 2000mah Li-ion battery provides up to 2.5 hours of runtime to make sure that you enjoy your movies without having to worry about charging the battery. Thanks to the USB and microSD card inputs, you don’t need to connect a laptop or a tablet to give presentations or watch movies. The powerful onboard media player plays HD content, music and text files. The built-in speaker offers a great sound for direct file playback. It comes with a range of inputs such as HDMI, Mini VGA, 3.5mm aux out, composite A/V along with micro SD and USB readers. The 420 lumens and vibrant color technology provide a crisp and clear image. The Aaxa P300 Neo has a maximum resolution of 1080p input. ![]()
