Hi all,
I hope this is the right place to post this thread. I am hoping the experts on this forum can help me with my question regarding a laser projector.
I am looking to purchase a micro projector - I bought the 3M MPro projector which is an LED Projector and rated at 10 lumens before but it just wasn't bright enough for me. I have returned it but now I am looking at the AAXA P2 micro projector. This projector is rated at 33 lumens has 800x600 resolution and uses a white LED and LCOS for projection. The specs are here:
AAXA P2 Pico Projector - LCoS Based Hand-held Pocket Projector - LED Micro Projector
However I have been reading that Microvisions news 10 lumen laser projector will be much brighter and better even though it is rated at 10 lumens.

However it is supposed to be more expensive too, I've read $500. The AAXA P2 is already expensive at $350. So I am wondering before I spend this kind of money if you guys can help me understand what makes the Microvision laser projector so much brighter than the AAXA P2? Specifically what about laser projectors is better (and worth waiting to pay an extra $150). Are lumens ratings meaningless?
TIA!
