As with those two portable projectors, it looks like an oversize palmtop, has a built-in rechargeable battery, and delivers suitable image quality for casual film or video viewing or for business presentations. Its major hitch is its powered focus, which is annoying to use and unfocuses itself as the projector warms up.A Somewhat Mysterious ChipThe PicoPix Max One uses a…

Many TVs (and other electronics) have seen big price increases over the past six months. In fact, we’ve had to take the unusual step of revising several of our Best TVs lists to remove models that no longer fall under our price categories, like Best 4K TVs under $500 and Best 4K TVs under $1,000.
