Review: ViewSonic M1+ Mini LED Projector

Personal portable projectors might be one of the most underrated product categories today. Giving smartphone, streaming stick, and PC users a large canvas to watch videos or present slideshows, these palm-sized projectors are also multi-functional devices that serve as powerbanks, storage drives, and even Bluetooth speakers. ViewSonic's M1 projector  was a prime example of a well-rounded and reliable portable projector that appealed to business users as well as consumers who wanted a large-screen experience for their mobile devices and PCs.

ViewSonic kept all the outstanding features like the compact size, various ports, excellent battery life, and impressive picture quality of the M1 projector and added a host of features that make it even better.

The various improvements and upgrades all become evident once you take a closer look.
