When you think of a projector, the image that comes to mind is a large device with lots of cables and connectors and the fear of the lamp going bust midway through your presentation. Well, all that is changing. The new breed of handy projectors are quite amazing. They are small and compact and with a short throw lens, they can produce a large image on the wall or screen.
The Ricoh PJ WXC1110 is no exception. A tiny little bag that looks as if all it would have are accessories, actually contains the projector . A projector that fits in the palm of your hand and yet can throw an image of more than a 100 inches diagonally.
The PJ WXC1110 has very impressive specifications. While it is not full HD, it is WXGA (1280 X 800), providing a crisp resolution for both static and video content. It is driven by a single chip DLP and an RGB LED Lamp. The lamp has a claimed 20,000 hours of running time in full brightness mode and a whopping 30,000 hours in eco-mode.
In the bag, the projector comes along with a power adapter, a VGA cable, a USB cable and a remote. It would have been nice to add an HDMI cable as well. Also, in this day and age, to have Wi-Fi as optional is no longer acceptable. It should have been a standard offering. The projector does have a standard tripod thread and can be mounted on any tripod. Adding a mini tripod would have been a great touch.
In terms of performance, it’s a mixed bag. For such a small projector to create a large image is quite impressive, but despite the 600 lumens, one still needs to darken a daylight-lit room. In darker rooms, the projector is quite acceptable. It projects still images and presentations along with video with consistent image quality and no jerky movements. Quite smooth overall.
Truly, the best part of the projector is the size. The downside, of course, is the price. As far as projectors go, it is not really that expensive, specially given the size of image it can project. A 100-inch TV would cost a lot more. But at close to ₹70,000, it certainly isn’t something everyone would rush to buy.
Price: ₹69,620
Pros: Size, portability, image size
Cons: Not full HD, no WiFi, pricey
