Philips personal projectors, the UGOô Series are smaller than a notebook yet boast a high contrast ratio, stellar design and more. With an extremely low weight of 2.9 pounds, making them the smallest projectors in their class, they are designed for the road warrior that needs to have his or her own presentation tools without a compromise in quality. The series features the UGO X-Lite (XGA) and the UGO S-Lite (SVGA), both having 800 ANSI Lumens. In addition, the high contrast ratio of 800:1 gives these projectors a sharp image with high picture performance.  ""We really thought about the challenges business travelers face when expected to give a professional quality presentation without the flexibility of using their own projectors,"" said Marjon De Groot, Director, Product Marketing for Philips Creative Display Solutions, Philips Electronics. ""With this in mind, the UGO gives presenters the flexibility to deliver top-notch multimedia presentations with a product that is not only small in size but also packed with features.""Durable Design And Flexibility Makes It The Ultimate Tool For Roadwarriors The new projectors feature a protective lens that is embedded in the design, making it safe to transport and carry through airports, cabs, train stations and more.The sturdy design features a magnesium cabinet that is 20 times stronger than a similar product made of plastic.
