Samsung SP-P410M LED Pocket Projector
Key Features
  • 170 ANSI Lumens
  • 1000:1 Contrast Ratio
  • 30,000 Hour LED Light Source
  • SVGA (800 x 600) Native Resolution
The old saying goes that "good things come in small packages." The Samsung P410M proves that "great things can come in small packages." This ultra portable projector measures less than six inches on a side and it's only 2.5 inches high. It weighs about two pounds. Yet it projects at 170 lumens with a contrast ratio of 1000:1 at a native resolution of SVGA (800 x 600).

Its LED light source never needs replacing because it's expected to last the life of the projector—about 30,000 hours. The display panel that forms the picture is a 0.55 inch Texas Instruments Digital Light Processor Digital Micromirror Device just like you might find in a full sized projector costing twice as much.

The P410M can handle NTSC, PAL and SECAM video signals and it can display DVD content using 3:2 pulldown to improve picture quality. It will even accept 720p and 1080i HD signals and downconvert them to its native resolution. And it can accept component video with an optional D-sub 15-pin conversion cable.

But where the P410M really excels is displaying data from a PC, with or without the PC. You see it has a USB port. Plug in your thumb drive and it will project your data in a wide variety of formats, including BMP, GIF and JPEG pictures and MPEG1, MPEG2, MP3, MPEG4, AVI and MOV files among others.

At its tiny size we think the P410M qualifies as an ultra portable projector. Being able to give a complete presentation without having to lug along a laptop lightens your load by many pounds more. Maybe the P410M is in a class by itself. Hyper portable, maybe?

170 ANSI Lumens and a 1000:1 Contrast Ratio
OK, so the brightness of this mighty mite isn't measured in the thousands of lumens. But 170 lumens isn't as low as you might assume. Brightness perception is logarithmic. To keep you from scurrying to find a high school math book we'll explain that it means this projector would seem to be about half as bright as one that put out a very respectable 1700 lumens. And with a 1000:1 contrast ratio that's pretty impressive for a projector you can hold in your hand, isn't it?
A Palm-Sized Projector With Big Projector Features
For such a tiny projector Samsung has engineered in a lot of features you'd expect to find only in a full sized projector—and a few that many full sized projectors don't have. One of them is 3:2 pulldown. Because motion pictures are filmed at 24 frames per second (fps) and video is recorded at 30 fps translating film to video has always been problematic. The solution better projectors use is 3:2 pulldown. Without boring you with technobabble let's just say it's one of the more elegant solutions developed. Another one of the P410M's advanced features is progressive scan, which makes DVDs look more like Blu-ray discs. The P410M's digital noise reduction improves the look of all of your programming
LED Light Source Lasts a Lifetime
That's the projector's estimated lifetime, not your lifetime. Or to put it into numbers, about 30,000 hours. If you use the projector every hour of every business day of the year it should last about 15 years (but we don't recommend that duty cycle for the projector— or you for that matter).
Use the USB Port for No-Computer Multimedia Presentations
The P410M delivers instant access to entertainment through its innovative USB interface. With its built-in multimedia player, you can enjoy a wide variety of video, music, and picture files with no need to lug your laptop along. Simply plug in, play, and bathe in the beauty of a truly cinematic experience right down to the stereo soundtrack, courtesy of the built-in one-watt stereo speakers. Sure, two one-watt speakers aren't going to fill a concert hall but you're not going to be using the P410M in one anyway. And besides, the projector itself is literally whisper quiet at 28dB.
Handles a Wide Variety of Source Material
The P410M can project NTSC, PAL and SECAM video signals. While we wouldn't want to watch say, The Ten Commandments on it, it can play DVD discs. What it's ideal for is displaying data from a PC or a USB thumb drive. This data can include JPEG, BMP and GIF pictures and MPEG1, MPEG2, MP3, MPEG4, AVI and MOV files among others. Road warriors will really appreciate how you can leave your laptop back at the hotel and still tell your whole story to your audience.
A Lean and Green Machine
LED projectors use 90% less energy than conventional ones. The P410M, for example, sips less than 54 watts of power when it's in use and less than two watts in standby mode. So it's less harmful to the environment compared to conventional projectors. The light source is 100% halogen-free so it can run at a much lower temperature and produce less heat radiation. The LEDs are also more resilient and last much longer than HID or incandescent bulbs and are also mercury-free so they are less harmful to the environment. In addition, the lens is lead-free as is the solder on the circuit boards. As a consequence the P410M is RoHS-compliant. (RoHS is the European Union directive on the use of hazardous substances in electronic equipment.)
