Technical Details for Compaq Microportable 1800

Compaq Microportable 1800 ... maximum portability while retaining the most desirable features of more bulky, expensive projectors.

In today's fast-paced business environment, there is a growing need for convenience and portability. Presenters find themselves quickly moving from city to city, or even among conference rooms in a large corporate center, making the same presentation over and over. The MP1800 delivers uncompromised performance, flexibility and features while being so compact, it can be carried over the shoulder in a laptop bag versus being pulled in an unwieldy rolling case.

The MP1800 is amazingly compact, with a weight of only 4.6 lbs and smaller than a letter size sheet of paper. It is only 178 cubic inches in volume and can easily fit into most notebook carrying cases along with the notebook. The projector boasts a sophisticated, sleek tower design, which minimizes the keystone distortion found in other projectors with a lower lens height. When the projector is plugged in, it detects the signal from the host PC and automatically makes all necessary adjustments. The PixelWorks processor provides Plug and Present and Autosynchronization capabilities so technical difficulties caused by tedious display and resolution adjustments are not a worry. For additional fine-tuning, the MP1800 also features an intuitive onscreen menu for easy and quick image adjustments. The MP1800 also comes with an integrated zoom lens for simple image size manipulation. The MP1800 is extremely rugged thanks to its sturdy magnesium casing, which is stronger than plastic but much lighter. And of course, the MP1800 bears the Compaq name, which means it is subjected to the same rigorous testing that Compaq products like the Armada notebook line experience. While featuring unprecedented portability, the MP1800 does not skimp on features. It provides a generous 700 lumens of brightness and 1024 X 768 native XGA graphics for crisp images. Integrated into the unit are several cutting-edge technologies like Texas Instruments DLP, Picture-In-Picture, and Pixelworks for optimal resolution, flexibility and ease-of-use. The included multimedia adapter provides several ports for compatibility with a range of devices and a powerful 8-watt Premier Sound system. Also included is a remote control, which provides extensive functions such as full mousing capabilities for the ultimate convenience.
