Despite a disappointing World Cup (unless you’re from Holland!) there is still one English winner. To celebrate the release, and popularity, of the Adapt 450 Pro we set a competition to see how you would use the Worlds first micro projector with in built Digital TV and 150 inch screen to watch the football.

Congratulations go to Gordon, from Selby - who gave us the best answer. He proved that even though we wouldn’t end up watching the football, we could always use the Adapt 450 Pro for so many other things. Gordon wins a FREE Gorilla Tripod worth £30!

Congratulations on winning the tripod! What made you enter the Adapt 450 Pro World Cup competition?

Gordon

Thank you very much. I was told by a friend to read the Adapt 450 Pro blog and leave a comment, and by doing so I would be entered into the competition. I thought why not, and if I win I can put the tripod to good use.

Katie

How do you feel knowing you’ve won?

Gordon

I feel honored, and also excited as I’ve never won anything before.

Katie

It was a really thought out answer. But, you mentioned that you’re not a football fan, did you watch the England games at all?

Gordon

Yes I watched parts the game against Germany to see if we made the final 16

Katie

The competition was to celebrate the release of the Adapt 450 Pro - The worlds first 100 lumen pico projector with on board Digital TV, 1.5hour battery, USB and SD card connections, 150 inch screen and 4w speakers. What is your favourite feature?

Gordon

The built in Digital TV has to be my favourite feature, as it means you can free up space where your TV would be and get a bigger picture.

Katie

You are obviously a keen movie fan. Can you tell me the ideal situation you’d use the Adapt 450 Pro for?

Gordon

I’d definitely use the Adapt 450 Pro for watching films. It’s got the large cinema style screen feel, it won’t cost you £15 to sit next to the annoying person opening sweets, and bobbing up and down of peoples head as they let someone out to use the loo. Also I’d use it for going on Xbox Live. The size of the screen helps a lot. You can see that sneeky enemy far quicker, plus it’ll draw you into the game and give you feeling that you are actually there.

Katie

Well thanks for your time Gordon! Don’t forget to tell all your friends about your win!!

Gordon

Thanks Katie, I will.

Gone are the days when you had to stay in to watch your favourite programme, over the past year there has been a significant rise in the number of websites available to watch ‘catch-up TV’.  And now some of these services have transferred over to our mobile phones.

The next generation of phones may include a pico projector in-built. There are already models in the pipeline, such as the Galaxy Beam by Samsung due to be released in July, but with any advance in technology it is still in the early stages.

If you are wanting to project images from a phone (or even TV, DVD player, games console, laptop…) then there is an excellent range of pico projectors out there, to meet all needs.
Projectors can be connected up to phones and games consoles, as well as TV’s, DVD players and laptops, via the video out cable (available for Adapt, Aiptek and 3M), to give you mobile entertainment at it’s best.

We have been looking at some of the on demand services out there, including TV, films, current affairs and sports. If you have used them, why not leave a comment?

This competition has now ended. Look out for the winning announcement on Twitter @WhatPico

One of the best personal projectors around; the Adapt 450 Pro is available to buy, and just in time to watch the World Cup! Forget HD, what you need is a big screen.

This palm projector can project up to 150 inches, onto almost any surface, and has in built speakers. Amazingly, the 450 Pro is the worlds first pico projector to include onboard Digital TV.

The Adapt 450 Pro is designed to be portable. Wherever you are, you can watch the World Cup! The Adapt 450 Pro hosts a number of features including a SD Card and USB slot and battery.  It can also connect to phones, TV’s and DVD players and games consoles. So, when you’ve finished watching the football, you can use it to create a home cinema, show picture slideshows, take it into work for that important presentation or even just use the Digital TV for a night in with the telly. It’s not just a big screen, it’s an investment.
