Samsung P400 "pocket" projector ships in US

Samsung on Thursday unveiled the P400 "pocket" projector for the North American marketplace, a lightweight, miniscule device designed for mobile professionals. The device, unveiled at InfoComm, offers a miniature DLP projector in a tiny, glossy black finish, displaying a resolution of 800 by 600 at a contrast ration of 1000:1. Samsung claims the projector bulb is rated at 150 ANSI lumens, bright enough to display a 30- to 40-inch image in a well-lit office setting.

The P400 includes two 1-watt speakers, and can take video information from a number of sources, including RGB, Composite, S-Video, and stereo audio. The LED lighting system boasts a 30,000 hour lifespan, with no replaceable lamp, as well as an included remote control.

Samsung is selling the P400 through authorized resellers for $749.
