CES: SHOW WX Laser Projector for iPhone

January 14, 2010 • Written by Taz Goldstein • 5 Comments Latest News

At times, it felt like little video gnomes had snuck into CES, and stashed tiny iPhone compatible projectors all over the place!

…and most of them sucked — out of focus, colors from hell and the luminance of a black hole. But then I found the Microvision Show WX, and my faith in video gnomes was restored.

The Show WX boasts some decent specs: WVGA (848×480) resolution, 120 minute battery life, and sharp images from 6 inches (or less) to 16 feet (or more). And since it’s laser based, there’s no need for a focus knob. It’s always in focus.

The only downer is its lack of an on-board speaker. Instead, the Show WX gives you a stereo jack that can be used with external speakers (or ear buds).

Check out the video to learn more, and see it in action.

THIS DEVICE IS PRICELESS WHEN I HAVE TO KEEP MY KIDS QUIET. IT IS THE MISSING LINK TO THIS NEW ERA OF A VIDEO ON DEMAND AND ITS NICE TO SEE THAT QUALITY PRODUCTS STIL EXIST. THANKS TO APPLE AND COMPANYS LIKE MICROVISION.

$500!? That's nearly how much my full-size, searing-hot, bulb-probably-close-to-burning-out projector cost me two years ago. I'm looking forward to seeing how this thing looks at larger projection sizes—a complete projection rig that's battery powered, fits in one hand, and costs less than a thousand bucks (even when buying an iPod Touch just for this purpose) would be incredible.
