As fun it is to go out and see a movie in the theaters on opening night, making a habit of it tends to get expensive. Real expensive. Plus, you have to deal with parking, people, and a bad seat if you don't arrive early enough.
Thankfully, the internet abounds with movies and TV shows you can stream directly to televisions, computers, and mobile devices. Besides, at home you can make any seat the best seat in the house. But if you want to pair that movie-theater atmosphere with personal creature comforts, you'll appreciate a projector.
It doesn't matter if you already own a great TV. Projectors evoke a unique sense of awe, especially when you throw an image even bigger than your flat panel telly. And when they're compact enough to move easily, almost any blank surface can be a movie screen.
Design & Connectivity
When it compares to mobile gadgets, such as smartphones, the AAXA P450 micro projector is on the upper end of being considered palm- or pocket-sized. But then when you think about the common projectors one has ever been around – classrooms, conference rooms, seminars – it's pretty darn small. By itself, you can safely tuck the AAXA P450 micro projector in a bag or backpack for carrying.
See how the accessories take up more space than the P450?
This projector fits in one hand and is also very light. In fact, the included power brick and cable weigh about as much, at slightly more than half the size. The AAXA P450 micro projector also comes with VGA cable, AV cable, tripod, and a remote. Toss in a short HDMI cable, and suddenly the projector is far easier to pack than all the accessories!
One thing to be careful with is the array of rubber feet. They excel at keeping the P450 in place on surfaces; they're even better at plucking off with a gentle nudge. Even though the threaded hole on the bottom opens up many mounting options, it's still convenient to set the projector flat when you can. Don't lose them.
With exception of the top, each side of the AAXA P450 micro projector is ventilated. All of the ports and switches are interspersed around three sides, but with clear labeling. It doesn't matter much if you have little experience with projectors. The AAXA P450 auto-detects inputs and practically sets itself up.
Palm-sized and very convenient to move around
If you need to switch inputs or make settings adjustments, both the on-board and remote buttons click well and are effective. Just make sure the remote is aiming in the general direction of the projector for the best response.
The menu system for the AAXA P450 is simple to understand once you spend a few minutes poking around. There are adjustments for color, brightness, and contrast as well as…

When it comes to scientist celebrities, Bill Nye and Neil Degrasse Tyson likely come to mind first. Both of them have been very public as of late on important topics of human-generated climate change, evolution, and science in education. Each have guest-starred on the hit television show, The Big Bang Theory, and Bill Nye even had his (brief) moment in the spotlight on Dancing With the Stars.
Of course, we can't forget Stephen Hawking (also guest-starred on The Big Bang Theory), who very
