Lumens

All lights on - front lights turned off - all lights off

Three different lighting scenarios. As the projector is rated only to 10 lumens, one can't expect any miracles from it. 50 inch image is not that usable when there are lights turned on. In total/near total darkness on the other hand, the image is bright and crisp and real joy to look at. This scenario might not be ideal for a conference room but for example a dimly lit bedroom is totally another matter...

Another lumiosity test against a regular projector that uses a lamp instead of a LED. V10 loses hands down, indicating that this product is not for board meetings. 2000-3000 ANSI lumens are nice but you can't show them off on the streets and alley ways as easily as you can do with PocketCinema.

Distortions

As you can see, V10 does have a relatively strong pincushion distortion in its image. Now that we have said it, we can forget all about it. As the V10 is designed to be portable and used anywhere, in most situations the viewer will not even notice this.

Another point that we have to bring up are the corners. They are sharp but the light source does not give out unify enough lighting for them, thus making them a bit dim. Again, one might notice this in real life use but for most users, I believe, this is not a major issue.

Freeze frame from a SciFi Channel show, the Stargate Atlantis. One can't make a mistake and think that the image came from a HD projector but still, it shows how usable the material still is. Colors might be bit flat and white areas are not as bright as they should be but still I would claim this to be usable and totally acceptable in certain situations. I for one would enjoy watching videos via V10 during a boring train trip or lying on a bed. As the V10 is totally silent, others around you can continue sleeping undisturbed.
