LG's pocket sized LED projector, the HS200

Mostly it was new monitors like the W86 at LG’s press event yesterday, but one gadget that did distract me from all the flat screens was this cute looking pocket-sized LED projector. Dubbed the HS200, it’s an 800 x 600 pixel resolution DLP projector that can project an image up to 120inches across. It weighs just 800g and is expected to retail for £499 when it goes on sale later this month.

LG claims the LED bulb is more environmentally friendly than a projector with a CCFL bulb, as it doesn’t contain mercury and also has a lower power consumption compared to a standard projector making it more cost effective. It is also designed to last the lifetime of the projector, eliminating the need to buy expensive replacements.

Key specifications of the HS200:
• Screen size: up to 120″
• Digital fine contrast ratio: 2,000:1
• Aspect ratio (native): 4:3
• Resolution (native): 800 x 600
• Brightness: 200 nits
• Input(s): USB, Audio in/out, Video in, RGB, HDMI
• Projection lens: manual focus, fixed zoom
• Additional features: Digital light processing technology, Internal advanced colour engine & HS200G version available with a carry case
