We are just catching up with the backlog of pico projector’s and associated gadgets from CES but heres something we havent pointed out yet, although it may be a day or so old. Sanwa have launched a super cheap pico projector – the Sanwa 400 PRJ001- and by super cheap we mean very very cheap. Retailing in the US for $119 that would make it just over £72 (based on google currency conversion) – although we havent seen it in the wild in the UK yet. If we get the Sanwa cheap microprojector its likely to cost sub £100 (we estimate) and could likely retail at £99 or similar, although like we said – we can’t see the sanwa pico for sale in the uk yet anywhere prevelent.

Sticking with the crowd of technology companies launching pico’s they have gone with a lovely streamlined name, one that almost rivals the Royaltek RPJ2000 in lengh/numerical mixups – The Sanwa 400 PRJ-001 – now thats a mouthful. Running on LCoS this pico has a VGA resolution that matchs all of the other generation pico’s, USB connectivity which some of them dont have and weighs a very very little 85 grams.

You cant really complain when you are getting a VGA pico for under £100, but no doubt it won’t perform as well as the more expensive and more techy pico’s like the laser based showwx or similar. We look forward to giving you a full review on the Sanwa PRJ001 as soon as it is available to buy in the uk, or maybe sooner!!
