In this context, ViewSonic has announced the launch of a new compact model called M1 Pro Smart LED Portable Projector that we can carry with one hand and that with less than 1 kilo of weight promises above all simplicity and flexibility of installation.

We are faced with a very compact modelof only 182x62x140mm and 950 grams of weight that mounts in its interior a LED light source and an optic with 720p resolution capable of generating screen diagonals of up to 100 inches about 2.5 meters away.
The luminous power is not excessively high, offering around 600 lumenswhich will force us to use it in rooms without any ambient light if we want to squeeze the maximum potential of its contrast, which according to the specifications marks a really surprising figure for such a small team of 120,000:1.
The advantage of this model is that it works with a built-in 12,000 mAh battery (4,000mAh 3.7Vx3), which allows up to two hours of continuous use in ECO mode without having to recharge through its USB-C portto which, for example, we can also connect devices such as a Nintendo Switch or a PC with graphic output via USB.
The LED lamp promises a durability of up to 30,000 hours of useso we can turn on the equipment and leave it running without fear of it being damaged, it has an image geometry correction system and a rotating support to be able to point the focus in any direction (they ensure that in 360 degrees), thus making it easier to create screens in all types of walls and ceilings.
The body of the projector has the classic control buttons, but it also comes with the possibility of using a Bluetooth remote control that will allow us to handle it without having to point directly at the device. This wireless interface offers us the option of connecting wireless headphones in case the 3×2 watt stereo sound made by Harman Kardon we are short.
We also have Wi-Fi connectivity in the 5 GHz band to, for example, send the screen of our smartphone directly to the projector and share it in a big way.
