    My pictures doesn't do the image justice but this looks really good for something that is as small as it is. It fits in the palm of my hand and weight less than a pound. I purchased both a nebula capsule laser and nebula capsule II and this was better hands down for a few reasons. The short throw lens sealed the deal for me because I got twice the size for the same distance as the other projectors. Biggest drawback is the fact that you need additional considerations for sound and connectivity since the internal speaker is insufficient and it doesn't have android tv. Picture quality is important for me so for the size it was worth it but the price still feels high because of the limitations.Pros:1) Short throw - got 75 inches just about 3.5 feet away2) Brightness & Picture Quality - The capsule II was way too dark so in turn even colors didn't look as rich. The capsule laser wasn't that bad but the colors on this are way better still because of the higher brightness.3) Keystone & Focus - Automatic vertical and auto focus3) Size & Versatility - Weighs less than a pound, so easier to travel with or move around to different rooms including outside.Cons:1) Sound - Speaker is pretty much unusable unless you are just listening to speech, need to connect to an external speaker and there is no bluetooth connection.2) No smart function - You will need to use with a firestick, roku, shield, wifi dongle etc.3) Horizontal Keystone - Wish it had automatic horizontal keystone.

    Style: 700 lumens/Standard ThrowVerified Purchase
    The Optoma ML750 700 lumen 3D portable LED projector is an amazing piece of technology. The first impression out of the box is how small it is and how light it is. The projector comes with a very nice travel zip-up bag with the Optoma logo on it, a small power supply that comes apart at the power box so it is a total of 2 cords. A universal in to VGA out with an audio in. Even if you don't use this to connect to a computer you can plug in universal and bring audio in. The last thing is a very nice controller which has all the functions that you can use on the machine. I also bought a  Sunpak SPK620786 5-Inch Flex Leg Mini-Spider Tripod  which fits it perfect and works very well to hold it up and change angles.

    I connected via Macbook Pro retina through the HDMI port on the back. I changed input to HDMI and it matched my screen within 5 seconds. I first used it in my office which is very bright and I projected from about 10 ft back and I had an amazing, bright beautiful picture of my computer screen which is a stock Apple image with vibrant colors. I was amazed at how bright it is and how good the picture is. I then played a video from netflix to test the sound and the speakers are ok for a small group of people but not good enough for a good action movie in your house. I would just use the audio from your input device or from the universal cord with audio in. The keystone correction works very well but usually you don't need it, keystone is always a salesman pitch but when its on your wall you don't really care that it is a little bigger on the top than the bottom, trust me.

    I looked for about 2 weeks for which projector I wanted. I am using this for office presentations in a large well lit conference room, home movies and demonstrations at different stores that we have in our company. The other projectors I looked at are the Optoma ML550, Qumi Q5, Aaxa P300, Aaxa LED showtime, Dell M110 and a couple of the brookstone models. The Qumi Q5, ML550 and the Dell M110 were the only ones that were kind of close to this in the way of picture quality and brightness. The ML550 is the same thing just 200 less lumens, the Dell M110 is very close in size where the Q5 is a little larger and more rectangle shaped. After looking at these and testing them the ML750 was the best in brightness and quality of picture.

    This is one of the only projectors in this market that you can project a large picture in a room with bright lights and still have really good quality and brightness. I projected a powerpoint in our conference room with the 20 plus lights we have and I could read even the smallest print well. I tested this next to a standard light projector that was 2,500 lumen in our conference room and this has a better picture and looked brighter! That's the power of LED.

    Overall this is in my opinion the best "pico" projector on the marker for its size, connections, and quality of display. You can't fit it in your pocket but it comes pretty close to. I would not waste my time with the smaller below 300 lumens on the market, you just don't get a bright enough picture. I have not tested the 3D but will test and amend this when I do.

    I would recommend this to anyone who is in the market for a small, LED projector that looks amazing.

    Style: 700 lumens/Standard ThrowVerified Purchase
    I normally don't trust reviews on Amazon, so I went around a lot of other venues, and looked up reviews on this. Most of the reviews were for this unit's predecessor, the ML500.

    They gushed. Every single one. I grudgingly got this unit.

    I already own an EX330, which is a badass little unit, but is still just a bit too big for carry-on. Whenever I pack it, TSA ALWAYS opens my bag (which is often stuffed to the max, and they will mess things up when they reclose my bag), so I need to carry on the projector.

    First, this thing is REALLY SMALL. The pictures don't really show how small it is, because the overall proportions pretty much match those of larger ultraportables. However, the lens is really small.

    The cables and power brick are basically bigger and heavier than the unit itself. With a little creative re-packing, you can fit this into a really small package.

    I tested with HDMI and some pretty hi-def digital input.

    Normally, I've been ignoring pico and LED projectors, as they project tiny, dim images only a couple dozen inches across.

    This is not a pico. It will project a full-size image, just like my 330, and almost as bright.

    It's visible in a lit room, even an image that covers an entire 72" X 48" whiteboard. The EX330 is a bit brighter in a lit room, but not that much brighter, and the EX330 is rated at over 2000 lumens (LED lumens are basically brighter than incandescent ones, because coherence).

    The ML1000 is brighter, but it is also physically larger, and I need this to be very small. I can use my EX330 for bigger stuff.

    When you dim the lights, the image is tack-sharp, and beautifully saturated. Once focused, it tends to keep its focus, even when moved around. It's not as nice as a laser projector, which basically never needs focusing, but it is better than an incandescent one, which can be finicky.

    There is a focus knob, but no way to adjust the zoom, except by physically moving the unit, which isn't that big a deal, as the unit is fairly short-throw. You should keep this in mind when setting up. Plan to have a long wire to your computer, as you may need to set the unit up on a table (a little one), or a tripod (it has a tripod standard 1/4" threaded hole).

    The tripod thing is nice. One of my biggest frustrations is getting a table set up for a projector. Since this thing is so small, you can mount it on even a very small or cheap tripod (like a point-and-shoot tripod).

    It has 3 fans, but doesn't get more than a bit warm (It's not like the "hair dryer" from my 330). The fans do contribute a bit of noise, but nothing like the incandescent unit.

    I don't particularly care about watching TV on these things. I use them for presentations, and I have yet to encounter a projector, from any manufacturer, that won't handle basic presentations.

    If you are gonna shell out $550 bucks on a little thing like this, then you should feel its worth it. I feel it was money well-spent.

    PROS:
    Absolutely tiny. Easily fits in a standard brief case or a carry-on.
    Extremely bright. Astonishingly so.
    Can be mounted on a tripod, so you have more options to setting it up.
    Surprisingly "short throw." This means that you can place it fairly near the screen.
    I have the entire thing packaged in a small LowePro digicam bag. That's including an 8-foot HDMI cable and a micro tripod.
    I also dropped the thing from about 3 feet, and nothing happened at all. My 330 would have been destroyed.
    This thing is absolutely fine for 90% of my presentation needs.

    CONS:
    Has 3 fans, which can be a bit "whiny."
    No zoom. You have to move the unit.
    Surprisingly "short throw." This means that you have to place it fairly near the screen, which is not always desirable.
    External power brick. This is always a pet peeve of mine. The brick is fairly large, as well, with a 3-prong plug. I'd love it if it were a little dinky thing.
    Color ain't perfect. Tends to have a red cast. I was able to get something better with a calibrator, but still a bit off. The 330 definitely has better color.
    The focus can change from top to bottom if you have the unit fairly near the screen.

    Unfortunately, an entire industry has sprung up to create shill reviews. In general, don't believe five-star reviews on Amazon. I wish it were different, but there's lots of money at stake, and whenever there's money at stake, there's unscrupulous people willing to take it.

    This isn't a shill; but then, that's what a shill would say. Take this review for what it's worth.

    UPDATE: Added a few more notes, now that I have used it a few times.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing little LED projector
    Reviewed in Canada on January 16, 2015
    Style: 700 lumens/Standard ThrowVerified Purchase
    I'm very pleased with this little LED projector. I've put on 50hrs of use so far. It surpassed my expectations. The picture is clear, even on a simple white wall. The 700 lumen is great for playing videos in the basement or in a dark or dim lit room, even at a 90 inch display. Kids love it for watching movies. Works with the Xbox 360 using an HDMI cable and external speakers. Works well with the laptop using the provided special VGA / audio cable and display port to HDMI cable I purchased separately. Videos, pictures, PDF and Word documents work well with my USB stick. The remote is a little slow at navigating the menu or selecting a file when using the USB stick but not sure if it's because of my USB stick or the projector. The one watt speaker is a joke but I wasn't expecting it to be anything but. You want to avoid using the on board speaker and get yourself some computer speakers. Love the quick startup and shut down. You may want to also get a small tripod. I find that more times than not, I need to set the projector on top of a shoe box to get a little more height. Looking forward to many years of use.

    UPDATE:
    Almost 4 years later and it's still going strong. We get a lot of use, including taking it camping with us. Love this little projector. Perfect for the basement area. Would recommend to anyone looking for a small portable LED projector with many features.

     I just got it, and I bought this for my kid.
    I took this sample video in the afternoon.
    I hope it has excellent durability.

    Pro: Buy it if you live in a condo, suitable for a small space. It's modest with a High-quality image. It has an autofocus function.

    Con: Bad built-in speaker. No integrated blue tooth connection, which means you have to buy a blue tooth transmitter. The autofocus function needs to be improved.

    It might not be full HD but, after 2 months of MLB.TV, blu rays, dvds,... ., it doesn't feel like a compromise:
    - uniform image
    - accurate, strong colours
    - quiet

    I purchased the projector a while ago, I was never able to connect with HDMI on either a MacBook Pro or my wife's MacBook Air. We tried 3 different HDMI cords with no success. We use it with the VGA connector. The projector works fine in small dark rooms which is why we bought it.
