![]() It's also rather odd that Sony has gone with both DLP tech and a low resolution sensor when its MP-CL1A boast a laser light source and 720p HD detail. The MP-CD1 is just about bright enough, but only at the cost of slashing the resolution, and the upsized battery will be inconsequential to most users (if your presentation is over an hour it's definitely too long!). If pico projectors were an idea ahead of their time back in 2009, not a great deal has changed. That's a clever play to sneak the MP-CD1 onto every business trip regardless of the need for an impromptu presentation. There is one surprise in that the MP-CD1's battery can also be used to recharge any phone or tablet. Used for watching a movie in a total blackout, the MP-CD1 produced a reasonably bright 80-inch image image that noticeably lacked contrast, but I didn’t notice any issues with motion blurring or noise. Of course, we're getting into big TV territory there, but only at this size (or smaller) does it pack a punch. You can get the MP-CD1 to put 120-inches on a wall, but it's a much better, tighter and brighter image if you restrict it to 80-inches. It turns out that the MP-CD1's lack of pixels is actually a wise way to max-out its brightness, but only if you keep things small. ![]() Go any higher and image fades and looks pixelated, even in a blackout. If you do need some height – and you almost certainly will – pack a pocket-sized tripod because the MP-CD1 does have a standard tripod thread off-center on its undercarriage.ĭuring our testing, we used one to create a pleasing 60-inch image from around 1.5m from a screen, with an 80-inch image possible from 2.3m. There is a manual focus slider, but it's very subtle, and focusing can be painstaking as its slider is way too small. Moving the MP-CD1 even an inch resets the keystone software, which in turn resets the focus. There is some automatic keystone correction software that rights any awry image in seconds, but it's hit-and-miss, and leaves one side looking wonky. That sounds great in theory, but in practice the image needs to be smaller, and higher than possible from coffee tables. It's designed to project a maximum 120-inch 16:9 aspect ratio images at a distance of about 3.5m.
