3M MP180 Pocket Projector

 

The MP180 is a light, pocket-sized projector capable of realising even sophisticated presentations. It stores video, music, and data files, provides Internet access via Wi-Fi, and can be connected to other devices via Bluetooth. The touch-screen allows...

3M MP180 Pocket Projector

 

The 3M MP180 has a touchscreen, apps and built-in WiFi - surely it's the perfect pocket projector? Unfortunately, Jim Martin discovers that it's far from perfect in our review.

It's commendable that 3M has gone further with the MP180 than any other pico projector before it, but the price reflects this. Given the unusable web browser, relatively poor image quality and whiny fan, Samsung's SP-H03 is still the better choice. It...

REVIEW: 3M PocketProjector MP180

 

3M launched its first pocket projector in 2008. Since then it has been busy miniaturising its hardware and software that can project digital images onto any nearby viewing surface. An important design characteristic of a handheld projector is the...

The MP180 is an attractive hand-held projector package for the on-the-go business professional. It’s compact and well built, and with its built-in memory and memory card slot you can probably leave your laptop at the office. The touchscreen control...

3M PocketProjector MP180 review

 

The 3M PocketProjector MP180 is a portable handheld projector designed for business users who regularly give presentations.

Capable of projecting without a laptop, reasonable battery life

Poor touch screen, fiddly internet integration, no HDMI input, pricey

3M has packed the MP180 with a number of features, but it tries to do too much. The device is ultimately let down by an inconsistent touch screen and high price.

3M - MP180

 

Although pocket-sized LED projectors have been around for a few years, their low brightness levels have limited their usefulness. 3M's MP180 doubles the brightness of its previous models to 30 ANSI lumens, and adds a touch ...

On paper the MP180 ticks lots of boxes, but in the flesh it's a little disappointing. On the plus side, it offers decent image quality, broad file support and excellent brightness for this class of device. The onboard storage and microSD support are...

3M Pocket Projector MP180

 

The 3M Pocket Projector MP180 can show images from its internal memory or a microSD card as well as from computers and video sources.

Reasonably bright. Can show images from computers, composite video sources, internal 4GB memory, or microSD card.

Icon-based touch-screen controls and flashing LED codes are not intuitive. Expensive. Some important glitches in unit as tested.

3M MP180 Review

 

Pocket sized projectors have become very popular over the last couple of years and the main reason why one opts for them is nothing but because of their size.

The 3M MP180 is available in India at a market operating price of Rs. 29,990. The projector does well in terms of design and build quality but where it excels is in the feature lists. On paper the specifications look very impressive and they deliver on...

3M MP180 Pocket Projector

 

The MP180 presents excellent images, but a sub-par touchscreen makes many of its advanced features less useful than they could be.

Bluetooth ; Wi-Fi ; Inbuilt web browser

Lacks HDMI input ; Touchscreen is terrible ; Tripod tips over easily if power is plugged in ; Web browser is only just functional ; Inbuilt fan can be quite noisy

As a projector, the MP180 is excellent. Even in brightly lit rooms it presents images well, and, while it's on the large side for what we'd call a "pocket" projector, we can forgive this, given the quality of its images. The inclusion of Wi-Fi and...
