Received today,
I’m sorry for all the people who worked on it, the engineers and so on…
The product is very disappointing!
It makes a lot of noise, impossible to watch a movie next to it… and I’m in eco mode… in presentation mode it looks like the ppm is going to take off on the moon !!!
Concerning the image it’s very bad, the definition is horrible.
The device itself is cute, very compact but it stops there…
For those who know, my lenovo yoga tab has a better image. Concerning the parameters nothing is practical, it’s really a headache. Big disappointment… even at 500€ it’s extremely expensive for what it is! I don’t think it will sell for 900€…

Guys, I’m getting even more excited from reading all comments here. Looks like with a sufficient powerbank I’ll have no issues going camping with the PPM and watching multiple movies on a single charge, wow.
I did some comparisons today against my Anker Mars. In daylight it seemed to be brighter than the PPM but in trying in more controlled conditions it came out brighter for sure. Still not sure if I’d say double the lumens as the spec says
Yes, I did measure and it shows very clearly to the naked eye. I did some more measurements, but I think i need to sit on the thing for a while before commenting or posting a review.
Thank you for sharing this comparison with us. Can you please also make sure to share the picture setting as well for both devices in same conditions as otherwise this can be easily misinterpreted.
The PPM looks like the green is a bit high, or is it just the camera?
Now I wish that this projector has a built in touchscreen like ZTE had for their projector. The whole touch sensitive panel is horrible… I lost the “air” remote and without any real answer from Philips to purchase a replacement, I have resorted to using a BT mouse and keyboard on the projector… the text fonts used for the project is also tooooo small…
Not sure why your PPMax is like that. Mine is projecting a great image even in Energy Saving mode. The image is sharp & colours are vibrant. I watched couple of 1080p movies in Normal mode & didn’t even notice the fan sound. The PPMax is just 3 feet in front of me. I guess the sound from the movie must have drowned out the fan sound.
Not sure if you had updated it to latest firmware 1.0.25 yet as you didn’t mention. Update it if you haven’t done so. Then do a Factory Reset. I hope that solves the problem.
Can’t focus? Is there a rattling sound if you shake the PPMax? If so, then the gear thingy inside has fallen off. Philips will exchange a new one for you.
Tried some more comparing in the day time with normal mode. What’s your opinions? I know mine. I’d love to get some feedback from Philips on the comparisons I’ve done between the PPM and Ankers Mars
@Philips_Support_N the Anker Mars is rated 300 ANSI lumens and the PPM 850 ANSI lumens. I would expect the PPM to be noticeably brighter on normal mode than the Anker Mars?
