The upshot is that you get a crisp, bright image at any distance, with no need to focus.

I've had booth reps at CES and SID tell me lots of different numbers, but it's never clear if they're talking about the whole device or just the imaging portion (minus the power required to light it). IMO the best way to measure this is to look at the capacity of the battery and how long each device runs to come up with a rational comparison. That's also going to be a bit uncertain if you're relying on reports rather than having them all in a room together and showing the same content, but it's probably the best that can be done for now. I'm really curious to know how long the Samsung projector phone can run off a full charge. That’s probably a good idea.

Singularity Hub has come to the conclusion that if a company isn't making on-the-record remarks about a spec, we shouldn't either. Generally. *Another update*

That information is accurate as far as was discussed at CES. However, I should point out that Microvision, 3M, and TI all fail to list a definitive spec on their company websites. *Update*
