Short Range Projectors

The LG MiniBeam PF1000U Creates a 100" Image From Just 38cm's Away

Installing a traditional projector means placing it several feet away from the surface on which you're going to project it, but the LG MiniBeam PF1000U requires only a short distance in order to function properly. Requiring only 38-cm's of clearance, the LG MiniBeam PF1000U will be able to project an image of 100-inches, which is astounding and innovative to say the least.

Soon to be launching in Europe and selling for about €1299, the LG MiniBeam PF1000U features support for wireless features such as Miracast and Apple AirPlay. Additionally, the LG MiniBeam PF1000U comes with two built-in HDMI ports, two USB ports and a Bluetooth sound-out function for connecting the device to external speakers (even though the device itself also packs two 3W internal speakers).
