That projector picture should be classified as false advertising. No way a 200 lumens can do that.

The worst image they showed in daylight is better than the image they'd get in darkness

For those without projector knowledge: the shittiest projector you've ever seen is probably 2500+ lumens

200 lumens is shit.

200 lumens? Yikes. That seemes pretty weak.

Im sure it isnt 1:1 comparable, but I just bought a replacement LED bulb for my stove hood (it takes 2) and it is 250 lumens (@4W). By itself, it is pretty puny, basically like a night light. Not really bright enough to even Two of them are just adequate for cooking.

The pictures they showed outside at night are similar to what I get with my 3800 lumen projector.

The pictures of the screen are fake too. 600 nits is barely visible in sunlight.

Impressive photo, I’m glad they finally found a way to project darkness.

At 200 lumens, they're not projecting much of anything. That image is almost certainly not reflective of its actual performance or picture quality

The thing is, one can't make anything darker by projecting light. The photo is obviously fake.

What, you don't have a few spare photonic vacuums in your parts drawer?

At that projecting quality, the tablet is going to be running at around 140C degrees.
