The ML300 Mobile LED Projector from Optoma Technology employs 300 lumens of light backed with a crisp 3000:1 contrast ratio to produce 1280 x 800 images which are brilliant enough to meet the challenge of even the most well-lit venues. Best of all it does it economically. Weighing in at less than 1.5 lb (635 g) and measuring a compact 7.2 x 1.8 x 4.4" (182.9 x 45.7 x 111.8mm), the ML300 supports a variety of video signals, including HDTV (up to 1080p) NTSC, and PAL.
A combination of VGA and HDMI inputs also allows users to readily connect to laptops, Blu-ray players, tablets including iPads and game systems to display content. The media player is compatible with video file formats including H.264 (AVI, MOV, MP4 and 3GP), MPEG4 (AVI), Xvid (AVI), M-JPEG (AVI) and image file formats JPEG and BMP. The media player even plays back audio files such as MP3 and AAC.
Lastly, the LED-based design, in addition to being environmentally friendly with low power usage and the elimination of mercury and other hazardous materials, allows for cool operation which in turn allows for the compact size.

Comments about Optoma Technology ML300 Mobile LED Projector:
The Optoma projector was purchased on January 22nd., arrived on January 24th. and was deployed immediately. The shipping was expeditious, as always, from B&H. It worked for 6 days and began to power off after 10 to 15 minutes on January 30th.
The fans are operational, there is no indication of thermal errors, and no physical overheating is apparent.
An RMA has been issued and it will be returned immediately for repair or replacement.
It is very unlikely that I will purchase that brand again.
It was purchased to replace an older Samsung P410 LED that performed admirably for more than 2 years, but is no longer available.

Comments about Optoma Technology ML300 Mobile LED Projector:
The only thing is the lack of the correct cords (mini-hdmi, connectors for Mac's). Aside from that I have nothing bad to say. Its bright, great colors, comes with remote control. Didn't think something so small would be as great as it is.

Comments about Optoma Technology ML300 Mobile LED Projector:
Used mostly for high definition output from the laptop (both are equipped with HDMI/SVGA).
Primarily selected for viewing high definition video footage from a Sony AVCHD camcorder--looks fantastic, almost like looking out of a window!
(It's performance so far has be exemplary, but I've had two Optoma PK301 projectors that combined didn't last a full year. So my praise is guarded in this instance.)
