We tried various films and found that only the high gain films with very narrow viewing angle were visible at all in our office lighting (nowhere near as bright as retail spotlights). However the long "bulb life" and the size are fantastic for retail and I look forward to the brighter LEDs being incorporated over the next year or so. I'm not sure it'll ever replace large format screens due to the throw distance involved, but for small on-shelf displays it could be a boon.

During our testing of a range of PICO projectors - some are better than others, we have sourced our own range of PICO projectors with 17 Ansi lumens - which on a Vueinti Ultra XC projection film www.vueinti.com - works great in standard office and retail environments. Also at night on retail windows - they are excellent as the low lumes is irrelevent this will be big market if used with projection films like vueinti's ultra high contrast films - as this compensates for the projectors low light power. With the vueinti holographic (transparent) film - this can even give a headup display when required) - now that would be cool at the bank. hope to see and show some cool applications soon. Totally Agree
