Hi guys! Can someone explain what are the differences with this projector? What is the operating system? Does it has the same limitation such as horizontal keystone correction over hdmi?
Article says it will cost 529 USD, which is actually pretty competitive.
In this article the last 2 photoās of the projectors are swapped,
but at the end it says that the Picopix Max One runs on Linux and that the battery should last 5 hours.
The details seem vague and sounds like the things theyāve done in PPMās firmware updates. But if itās actually a Linux OS then I would assume itās not a āsmartā projector anymore so itās a lot cheaper?
It looks better though, I like that itās not non-shiny
Has anyone checked the dimensions if theyāre the same?
I feel like the details are still not enough or a bit vague. No mention of lemons.
Also, the store says Netflix and Prime is preinstalled but the document says it has Linux as the OS. I donāt think thereās a Netflix app for Linux.
Also,a notable difference as well is the DC port for charging instead of type-C. That for me maybe the deal breaker. Hopefully, they release PicoPix Max One X next year with real improvements or PicoPix Max Series X for next-gen projector experience
Hello guys, the Max One is a downgrade from the Max, like a little brother. We removed the OS, removed all smart function and made a very affordable Full HD with the same light engine as Max. 4 corners is now working everywhere and for sure, as there is no OS, nor wifi or Bluetooth, the battery is now going up to 5h. (same battery as Max).
No autofocus but electric one, no touchpad.
Sound is netter compared to Max, the size of the speaker is the same but better driver.
The problem a lot of people had with the Max, even prior to the shipping kinks, was the missing functionality on HDMI (or USB-C for that matter). Itās sad that even the updated version doesnāt bring those sought after hardware upgrades to the table. I think itās finally time to lay my interest in the PPM to rest, for good this time.
Thanks for clarifying the details. I think itās a good projector for those who just want to have portable projector which you can use with an external source. PPMās internal software wasnāt good anyway although personally, I still want the smart functions even theyāre a bit mediocre.
Will it be possible to downgrade the picopix max to this firmware/software. I use an android TV stick on the HDMI port, so I donāt need wifi, bluetooth, or any apps on the projecter. I just want the oportunity to adjust the picture of the projector while using the HDMI port. Hope I can get this ādowngradeā on my PPM cause then it would be perfect for me.
My guess is that it wonāt be possible since they still have differences in hardware. My suggestion would be to sell your PPM and get this one. You might even a few bucks back
