Compaq MP1600 Microportable Projector

Overview
The Compaq MP1600 Microportable Projector is a powerful projector that comes in a small form factor. Designed for mobile professionals, such as middle and upper managers, sales executives, and training specialists, the Compaq MP1600 makes travel easy, as it only weighs 4.2 lbs (1.9 kg) and can fit into most carrying cases with a portable PC. The projector allows the presenter to show electronic slide shows or software demonstrations from a desktop or portable PC to small or medium sized audiences with confidence and elegance.

Functionality and Uses
The Compaq MP1600 Microportable Projector is an attractive tower form factor. Unlike most projectors whose lens sits close to the table surface, a higher lens minimizes the distorted image that accompanies projecting at awkward angles. The projector provides a stability foot to stop the unit from tipping over, as well as a complimentary carrying case. Unlike many projectors, the MP1600 instantly scales presentation images to fill the screen at XGA resolution. The MP1600 eliminates black borders or partial images when the projectors display settings do not match up with the display settings on the host PC.

Quality and Compatibility
The Compaq MP1600 Microportable Projector is a Plug and Play device, which means it, is compatible with virtually every desktop, portable or handheld PC. The projector automatically adjusts the necessary settings to display a full screen image. The projector uses Digital Light Processing (DLP) technology from Texas Instruments, which provides a high resolution (XGA) that produces data, graphics and video that are always crisp and in focus, and 16.7 million digitally correct colors that are true to their original source.
