ASUS Introduces the P1 LED Projector

The ASUS P1 LED projector offers a product intended for business and entertainment

use with a compact size, a height of just 33mm, 200-lumen brightness and a native

resolution of 1280 x 800. It incorporates LED projection technology to help users

reduce maintenance costs with its lamp lifespan up to four times longer than

conventional projectors. Instant on/off capabilities and power input sharing with

ASUS notebooks help make the P1 a great choice for all presentation needs.

High mobility and improved image precision

The P1 offers the slimmest projector with 200-lumen brightness, resulting in a

combination of unprecedented portability and extra-bright image quality. The form

factor measures 113mm x 33mm x 128mm, more compact than the typical CD jewel case and

an easy fit in any briefcase. The P1 weighs less than 400g, and has been designed

with productivity and office work in mind, as it can be effortlessly transported

between meeting venues. This does not come at the expense of image fidelity: the P1

projects visuals in a native resolution of 1280 x 800 and a short throw ratio of

1.16:1, ensuring compatibility with most notebook PCs. Therefore, a 40” image can be

achieved with the projector positioned just over a meter away from the display

surface, guaranteeing sharp images that do justice to any application and

presentation. Additionally, the P1 uses the same power input used on ASUS notebooks*,

reducing clutter by eliminating the need for extra cables and adapters.

Easy access to content

With plug and play implemented, the P1 features a user-friendly on-screen interface

for control settings, and works with a variety of multimedia content sources. It is

capable of displaying on screens ranging in size from 15” to 200” for different

applications. A 1600:1 contrast ratio allows text and graphics to be shown in crisp

and vivid detail. Connectivity with other devices occurs via a wide I/O range,

including USB 2.0, composite and VGA. The built-in SD card reader and integrated

media player interface provide additional means to view content independently of a

PC. For audio output, the P1 includes a high quality 2-watt speaker**.

Energy-efficient projection technology

The LED lighting design applied in the P1 promotes conservation in comparison to

traditional lamp projection technologies. It enables instant on/off switching with no

prolonged warm-up or cool-down periods, leading to cost savings for consumers as well

as a faster, more readily-accessible product. The use of mercury-free LED lighting

further prolongs component lifespan, eliminating the need for frequent lamp

replacement and offering users the benefit of reduced operating costs while

protecting the environment. The P1’s design ensures a lamp life of around 30,000

hours, approximately four times longer than conventional products. Total power draw

averages a low 50 watts.
