CES 2012: Optoma launches two portable LED projectors

The ML300 and larger ML500 have HDMI and SD card inputs, support for a wide range of video, audio and image files, plus a Microsoft Office viewer that supports the likes of Word and Excel.

The smaller ML300 measures just 18x4.5x11cms but claims a 300 lumens brightness and 3000:1 contrast rating, and has a 1280x800 resolution.

The ML500 boosts the brightness and contrast, has a large chassis, but keeps the same resolution and selection of inputs.

Both have a 2GB internal memory as well as an SD card slot for accessing more content.

The Optoma ML300 and ML500 are due to sell for $499 and $699 respectively in the US.
