amazon Optoma ML1000 reviews
Optoma ML1000 for high brightness frame, compact design and versatile. But machine’s price is quite expensive, quality presentation only suitable for data presentation.
According to the Optoma, the ML1000 is a slim, ultra-portable LED projector designed to target users looking for a high-mobility product that still delivers brightness to the large projection screen.
In terms of appearance, compared to the conventional DLP portable projectors of the Optoma, the ML1000 looks quite lightweight. But compared to other ultra-portable products, the appearance of the ML1000 is still quite large. In return, with the ML1000, users can choose from PC/Laptop or other compatible HDMI output sources, with the option of displaying directly from SD memory cards or flash memory cards. The machine is also equipped with two 3W power speakers that support SRS audio technology and a touchpad on the back of the machine instead of the “hard” button cluster previously.
Technically speaking, the ML1000 also features the DLP single-chip DMD DLP (0.45mm) DLP projector that supports 1280 x 800 pixels (WXGA) resolution. Although it is a representative of the LED projector family, but with a luminance index of 1000 ANSI Lumen, the ML1000 is “brighter” than LED products are commonly seen on the market. In addition, the use of LED technology also helps the ML1000 users peace of mind to use the machine without much cost, effort for the maintenance, maintenance as the conventional projector.
The initial exposure showed that with a weight of about 1.3 kg, the ML1000 is quite suitable for frequent users to move. Although designed for mobile use, the ML1000 still supports ceiling suspension or use of dedicated tripods. The machine also deserves a plus point for the usability of the Test Lab due to the extra base design that can customize the height on the back; Touchpad with modern touch control style and Wizard interface when first used to start the machine.
The ML1000 lens as well as other LED projector models only support focus using the included lever. With a fairly small (1.4: 1) distance factor, the ML1000 fits well into the slim viewing space due to the ability to project large frames from short distances.

Presentation quality
To get the objective evaluation, Test Lab chose to connect the ML1000 to the source via the HDMI interface and still “warm up” the machine for a period of 30 minutes. The first impression that the ML1000 brings is the integrated cooling fan system is very smooth operation and the body is very cool after the “belt”.
Despite being brighter than the LED projector models we tested, the Test Lab decided to limit the amount of additional light sources in the room. The test results using the default settings of the machine shows that the frame width is about 1.4m (from the 2m distance) with good brightness and high homogeneity in monochromatic displays. Warm colors such as red, yellow and blue, green on the slide show generally look attractive when viewed with the naked eye. But tests show that the color of the image is slightly too saturated. Black on the ML1000 is also somewhat limited so it will be a disadvantage when displaying movies.
With the need for data presentation, the downside is really negligible. The ML1000 with good image detail and rich color reproduction will be a good facilitator for meetings or presentations.
Try the slideshow using an NTFS formatted USB flash drive that shows the ML1000 is well compatible with this format. Software interface controls these functions of the machine is quite simple, easy to familiar. The ML1000 is also well-suited for Word documents using Unicode fonts without the appearance of typographical errors. Configuration menu interface is quite simple. Note that users will not have many options to customize the color of their images.
In general, if you have the economic conditions and want to find yourself a portable projector with good brightness, can show without PC, color quality and detail, ML1000 can be a choice. But, the product will no longer be a preferable option if your business needs more video presentations than data.
