NeoPix 150 details
The NeoPix 150 is a compact model, weighing just 1kg, and features a 180-degree rotating stand.

The projector delivers a full HD 1080p resolution with a brightness rating of 250 ANSI lumens, a measure set by the American National Standards Institute, making the unit suitable for evening entertainment in varied environments.
The NeoPix 150 incorporates an LED light source rated for 30,000 hours of operation and features silent fan technology for quiet viewing. It also includes a USB-C to HDMI cable, allowing users to connect compatible smartphones, tablets, and laptops. Standard HDMI ports enable additional options, such as connecting an Amazon Firestick or streaming device, with power supplied via the projector's USB output.

The NeoPix 450 Smart expands on the NeoPix series by integrating Google TV, allowing access to streaming services, applications, and personalised recommendations through one interface. It projects at up to 500 ANSI lumens and can create full HD images up to 100 inches in size, aiming to transform any room into a connected entertainment space.
The model is equipped with an ergonomic swivelling stand, automatic focus, and automatic keystone correction for image alignment. Four-corner correction and digital zoom settings add further flexibility. Audio is delivered via integrated dual five-watt speakers intended to provide sufficient room coverage for typical home use. Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 6, screen mirroring, and Bluetooth 5.0 support for devices such as gaming controllers, speakers, and keyboards.
