 Poor image quality due to use of white LED and cheap optics May 7, 2010
R. Bruce McCreary (Snowflake, AZ United States)

I recently tried this projector. I'm a retired engineer who designed and built my own projector and optics 10 years ago. Some very unfortunate design choices have been made on this product. Compared to one of the the original pocket projectors, the Mitsubishi PK-20, this product looks like a big step backwards. Color rendition and saturation is horrible- instead of using red, green and blue LEDs, they are using a single "white" led- which is like trying to wring blood out of a turnip. The spectrum of a white LED is too pathetic for this use. The colors on the Mitsubishi PK-20, by comparison, are "Kodachrome"- saturated and impressive. They use separate red, green, and blue LEDs, as AAXA should have.
There is a green-gray cast to the pale image produced by this unit, and the lens is so sub-standard that it is virtually impossible to focus. This is partly due to the fact the the poor optics never give you a sharp image. The lens also had substantial pin cushion distortion. (Display curved out towards the corners) In short, they sacrificed image quality severely to save some bucks on the lens.
Compared to this piece of crap, the PK-20 is a marvel. I thought with an LCOS imaging system and a few years time, things would have progressed, but not at AAXA "engineering".
The fan noise on this unit was surprisingly nasty- a high pitched whine. The PK20 has the fan isolated by a rubber surround and is quite tolerable.
If you think this thing makes a decent image, you are either vision impaired or just have nothing to compare it too. Or your review is just promotional advertising. I was very surprised and disappointed after reading reviews here to see how bad this unit was.

Here's the dilemma: You're in a some kind of job that frequently subjects you to "death by Power Point". Yeah, I feel for you. Now for some reason, the office projector is (more often than not) out on the road or in the repair shop. Good news, right? So instead of getting a little extra nap time in the "bored" room, the boss decides he wants you to go through all the backlogged crap from 1970 to 2008 and make a detailed report that he will likely glance at for 15 seconds and then ask you why your other work is getting behind.
You'd have been better off listening to Captain Sominex deliver his presentation, but noooo... John from sales needed the projector for a conference 3 states over. Wouldn't it have been great if you could whip a projector out of your pocket so you could kick back and eat a donut while pretending to care what some windbag is mowing over? What about a POCKET PROJECTOR?!
Sounds great, but then the thing arrives and you realize you're about to unleash a new level of pain on top of something that everybody already hates.
The Aaxa P2 is currently the Cadillac of the picos. Seriously... You're not going to find a better one. Even the pocket laser projector is going to be hard pressed trying to match this puppy.
The P2 has a 33 lumen output. On the surface that really sucks, but other Picos are sadly maxed out at around 11 or 12 lumens. Still, a typical projector is going to have 1000 lumens on the low end. 33 lumens looks like a faint stain on the screen by comparison.
The P2 has a native resolution of 800x600. Still not great, but other picos are still using 640x480. On the bright side (bright?), it "simulates" higher resolutions, but the picture gets fuzzier the higher you go.
The P2 comes with a mini tripod for positioning. Sadly it's about as stable as David Hasselhoff at an open bar.
Battery life? About 45 minutes. You can plug it in, but it won't recharge the battery while the projector is in use.
Noise? Yes. The cooling fan makes more noise than you'd expect.
Built in speaker? A sad joke. The fan is louder than the speaker, so make other sound arrangements.
Image quality in a dark room? Fairly decent. Great for an impromptu movie night or gaming.
Ease of use? Getting it to turn on is a little janky. First turn on the power switch, then hold the button to turn on the lamp. Say a prayer, be sure the computer is sending output through the provided VGA cord, and check your connection if the blue screen persists.
Focus? Rather touchy. It's not easy getting it right on that sweet spot, and don't ever expect perfect focus using a resolution higher than 800x600.
The bottom line is this: The person in charge desperately wants to show their latest Power Point. Your new Aaxa P2 is going to be the only available device for the task. It's dreadfully underpowered for the job, a little clumsy to get set up, but it will save the day and afford you a nice little coffee break while the big guy draws circles on the wall with his daughter's cat exerciser in a vain effort to highlight the most relevant aspects of his washed out presentation.
It's a trolls gold.
 All-in-one quality device April 15, 2010

Great product! I have owned both the P1 and the P2. The P2 is a huge upgrade on quality. The 33 lumens is very bright as long as you don't have all the lights on. Resolution is great.
I think my favorite part is that it is an "all-in-one" type player. It has built in memory, a media player, stereo sound, and a battery. Really you don't even need to connect a device to use it (though it has inputs for tons of devices!)

Its a handy product, versatile, requires a dark room for better image, I use it for family reunions. So with the battery pack I don't tangle with the power cords.

This projector just doesn't do what I need it to. The image quality isn't good enough and it isn't nearly bright enough. I was also really hoping to be able to project my art videos fully contained within the projector using the battery and the mini sd card, but it just doesn't work well enough. If you want to use this for really simple things and don't mind hooking your computer up to it, it's probably fine.
