Dell M109S - A Review of the Dell M109S Mini Projector

By Rich Malloy

This Lilliputian projector has the brightest LED in its class yet.

Very small and light, Fast warm-up and cooldown times, Uses same AC adapter as Dell laptops

Requires dark environment, Difficult to press buttons on projector's top panel, Nonstandard native resolution

Interestingly, the M109S uses the same AC adapter as Dell's current laptops. This means if you have a Dell notebook, you can leave the projector's AC adapter at home and run the projector from your notebook's adapter while the laptop runs on battery

The $499 Dell M109S may not be the most versatile ultraportable projector on the market-nor is it nearly as tiny as so-called pico projectors from 3M and Optoma-but it's impressive to see how much Dell has packed into such a small package....

Dell M109S review

By Richard Jantz

The tiny Dell M109S is a palm-size LED projector with a low brightness rating of only 50 lumens, which makes it best suited for very small groups in dark or dimly lit conference rooms.

All in all, it's difficult to recommend the Dell M109S for mobile presentations when for just a few pounds more you can have a slightly larger LED projector - the BenQ Joybee GP1 - that's twice as bright, provides better image quality, and has more ...

Dell M109S Micro Projector

By Sift Ninja

Do you remember the old days when your office used paper charts and a whiteboard? Or how about the days when you had to huddle your clients around a laptop to view a PowerPoint presentation? Thankfully, those days are long gone. Computer projectors, ...

By Jonathan Bray

A very small projector with impressive specifications, but in practice it just doesn't live up to its promise.

Dell M109S

By Alex Serpo

Travelers may find Dell's tiny and long-lived M109S projector a boon, but watch out for its low brightness output.

Seriously tiny and has novelty appeal ; very light at 360g ; easy to set up and use ; auto keystone adjustment ; super-long lamp life ; low running cost ; environmentally-friendly

1/40 of standard projector brightness ; 2/3 to half the average projector resolution ; gets quite hot

You get a special breakout cable for power, composite-video and PC inputs

Review: Dell M109S projector

By Will Stapley

Pocket-sized LED projector could suit those on the move

At £329 + VAT, the M109S isn't particularly cheap and, while the projector itself is fairly small, once you've gathered all the cables and the power supply you've still got a fair amount to carry around

Dell M109S projector

By Alex Serpo

There is much to both love and hate about Dell's M109S projector. It has a very low resolution, gets seriously hot, and is only 50 lumens in brightness. At the same time it's tiny, has the longest lamp life we have ever seen, and is mercury free.

Seriously tiny ... so it has novelty appeal, Very light at 360 grams, Easy to set up and use, Auto keystone adjustment, Super long lamp life, Low running cost, No mercury involved

1/40 of standard projector brightness, 2/3 to 1/2 the average projector resolution, Lots of cables reduce portability, Small maximum and minimum display size, Gets very hot

Travellers may find Dell's tiny and long lived M109S projector a boon, but watch out for its low brightness.

Verdict Travellers may find Dell's tiny M109S projector a boon, but we just wish Dell had made it even a little bit brighter. Which bring us to Dell's M109S projector, which is black, small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, and only 360g in...

Test: Dell M109S: Snerten miniprojektor

By Iver Gamme

US Note: This is an automatic translation. The text can differ from the original review.

This projector will fit in the suit jacket .

Very small and light. Low støyniv ;

Light mounting mechanism for the signal cable ;

That said, we are not very far up in weight until we find projectors that are far more flexible in larger rooms .
