A magnum product in small package by Parinda on amazon.com Mar 22, 2012
I purchased this on Thanksgiving 2010. Have been using it almost daily for around 2-3 hrs on an average. Still this tiny little thing gives me great picture. Its amazing to see this small equipment giving a movie hall like experience while watching movies. ...
 
Satisfied with Purchase by Pratik Pandya on amazon.com Nov 6, 2011
The size of the this projector certainly does not diminish its picture quality. I purchased this device for my registered student organization at my University, as we make frequent presentations to other organizations and community members, and it is ...
 
Small size, big power by Robert Woodward on amazon.com Oct 28, 2011
I love the size and power of this projector. Having a battery is great, as I am able to use it on the go. As others have said, using a tripod helps a lot to make sure the image looks great. Also, being an LED projector, I do not have to worry about ...

Good buy by PepticBurrito on amazon.com Oct 11, 2011
I own a Mitsubishi HC1500 and got tired of porting it around, so I decided to pick up a pico projector. The PK301 is quiet, surprisingly bright, and does exactly what I wanted. You can actually use the projector in a lit room. The image quality isn't ...

Unpredictable by Guadalupe on amazon.com May 20, 2012
Initially I very excited by this product because I viewed it as a portable way to project larger versions of myself to others. In particular, I was interested in appearing 7+ feet tall to others in a business context. Unfortunately, this did not work ...
 
Cool but not quite ready for prime time by Michael A. Israel on amazon.com Apr 19, 2012
Purchased one of these for use when travelling, primarily for sharing powerpoint and screens with small working groups. While the form factor is fantastic for stowing in your carry-on, the presentation capabilities leave a lot to be desired. Did not ...
 
weak projector by Dherold on amazon.com Apr 6, 2012
Tried to use this projector this week to put a slideshow onto a wall at a trade show. Turned off all spot lights in the stand and the hall was not very brightly lit; even so, most of the slides were not readable as the projector is just too weak of an ...

To hot, not bright enough, choppy. by alioninsheepsclothing on amazon.com Mar 10, 2012
The Optoma PK301 gets VERY hot. I just got it and I'm pretty sure it's gonna fry its insides pretty quick. I've tried to watch a movie through it's micro SD port but it's very choppy. As has been said, the sound is not worth having on. And it's not very ...
 
Don't buy this from Datavision!!! by Mark Davis on amazon.com Mar 9, 2012
Don't buy this product from Datavision. My wife and I ordered one of these and it was fulfilled by Datavision. They sent us a Kinivo 501BN video switch instead of the PK320 projector. The box and everything was for the projector, but inside the box ...

Amazon.com: Customer Reviews: Optoma PK320 Pico Pocket Projector
The picture quality is very good and can certainly beat the quality of a regular TV...the built in speaker is good enough for my kids to watch cartoon while sitting just behind the projector...With that said, my final verdict is still excellent and highly recommended...

Optoma PK320 Pico Projector Review
Unlike most of its competitors, the PK320 has a built-in Microsoft Office compatible viewer that handles Word and Excel files without file conversion...The PK320 has a rechargeable battery that is specified to last for about 45 minutes in Standard mode and 90 minutes in Eco mode, but it can only put out 50 and 25 lumens, respectively...Of course, at 100 lumens and lower, ambient light must be controlled for an acceptable image, but with small groups and an image in the 40" range, performance is very good for a half-pound projector...The PK320 comes with a one-year warranty on the projector and a 90-day warranty on the battery...
