$35 right now at toys r us.
Don’t do it! NOOOOOO! I purchased this “projector” from Woot a few months ago just for a laugh, considering such a good price. I wish I hadn’t. It’s not the 320x240px resolution that kills me, its the completely uneven color and tone in the projected image that is exponentially worse toward the corners. It feels like you’re looking at an old CRT sitting next to two big unshielded bookshelf speakers.
I cannot stand to watch even a minute of Netflix or any media from it. I wouldnt subject any children to this lack of definition or color accuracy either. Even for $0. Sorry woot. I love you.
Hey! The EyeClops Mini Projector really does look a lot like Wall-E, doesn’t it?
Every minute I spent watching that video was truly wasted. Holy Terrible Batman.
Oh darn! I just bought a 42" LCD television. Had I waited I could have gotten a 60" picture and saved $590.00 Oh well, I guess I am just going to have to perseverate to the point of not being able to enjoy my new TV. Seriously, why would anyone want or need this? It looks like it has more of a toy feel to it than anything. This must be the 2010 version of those blue projectors we got as kids that took three, A batteries! Now that I think about it, what exactly did we project with those things? Did they come with movies? slides? did we provide our own? I suppose if you wanted to show your powerpoint at the next sales meeting on a real budget to 15 of your cohorts this might be the ticket! Just bring an extra set of batteries.
I was excited until someone mentioned the low resolution. Still, I suppose it could be good for something like say watching videos when you’re camping.
If your digicam has A/V out you could project a picture onto a wall, drawing sheet, a close friend’s body part and trace the art work.
It’s probably just me, but that thing kinda looks like Wall-E…

…I really want to know is whether or not it would work very well for displaying PowerPoint presentations. I just need a projector for light home office use…

Unfortunately, I don’t think this thing’ll fit your needs. Text is only readable if you have maybe three lines per screen, and any amount of light in the room drastically impairs visibility. This projector definitely leans more towards novelty than business.
I’m gonna hook it up to my iphone

Hows about a $5 coupon for us who paid extra. We ordered it 31 days ago but mine only showed up last week.
Just sayin.

thank you saaa!
Wow, they have a lot of these, eh?
I’ve gotten two - one for my son and one for me to void the warranty on. FYI, it’s fairly easy to take apart to get to the LED, despite saying on the box ‘SEALED UNIT. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPEN.’
I have no idea what size/power output/etc said LED is (it’s prolly 5mm, maybe? It was also attached to a chip with some numbers on it but none seemed to correspond to anything on a quick search), though it is an RGB LED. I haven’t gone beyond taking apart, gawking at, and putting back together yet, but I’m guessing with a bit more leg work the LED could be replaced with a better one fairly easily?
Oh, my son loves this thing btw. It’s really quite bad, but cool anyway. He plays video games and watches movies on it, after the sun goes down ![]()
(it’s certainly better than the 10" B&W TV my mom gave me for playing video games when I was his age!)
Oh, and did anyone notice this kinda looks like Johnny 5, and that Wall-E does as well?
WALL-E!!! … … … Oh, uh… no. projector. Mmmmm.

So if you take two eyeclops and run them side by side can you get 3-D?
