Digital Life: Toshiba Demos Ultra Portable Projector

[Wayde]

It’s the EDTV that fits into the palm of your hand, honestly. Toshiba’s new DLP front projector just lowered the bar on stature. The model TDP-FF1AU comes with its own carrying case and a 23 inch fold out screen perfect for those opportunities when the walls are just too far to reach with a decent luminance. Sci-Fi Tech got to witness the projector’s luminance at Digital Life, a trade show in NY. They reported that although it looks like a toy it displays like the real thing. It actually looked pretty good over the brightness of a fully lit trade show floor.
It’s an 800x600 pixel front projector which is essentially EDTV (enhanced definition) at best. It’s not a full HDTV but EDTV is perfect for viewing DVDs and standard digital cable sources. Toshiba’s ultra portable projector runs for up to two hours off a built in battery pack. You could pop this palm sized projector in your back pack and do some viewing on the run. It’s not enough juice for a complete viewing of Ben Hur but you’ll get through most popular movies if you connected it to a portable media player.
