There are a lot of portable projectors on the market with a focus on the business user who travels a lot to give presentations. What we don’t hear much about are screens that are portable aimed at the same crown.

Many of the portable projectors need an ideal projection surface to really work well and Epson has announced a new ultra portable projector screen called the ES3000 just for the mobile users. The new screen comes in a wheeled case and has a one-piece design.

The screen collapses and expands vertically and horizontally to fit the space you have to work with and can be used for up to 80-inch images. The screen can also be configured into 4:3, 16:9, or 16:10 aspect ratios. The MSRP for the ES3000 is $249 and Epson says it is currently available though I can’t find it online or in the Epson catalog at the time of writing.

A new TV technology may yet offer another slew of HD video entertainment improvements and this should signal another shift from the already impressive 3D era people are raving about to date. The new technology is currently being developed by Prysm and is called laser phosphor display or LPD.

The new HDTV technology boasts of lower power consumption and the ability to display quad HD and 3D HD. The new TV sets will be able to bounce laser beams off to phosphor pixels on TV sets which are made of glass and plastic thereby delivering crisp resolution via big and small HDTV screens.

To get the ball rolling on this new technology, Prysm will be demonstrating the new LPD concept in Europe when they start showing off their jumbo trons. This will be followed by the private consumer market focus.

The power consumption level is said to be a tenth of what plasma TVs consume, something attributed to the processors which manage the lasers used.

However, one thing that these new HDTVs may have to work on is the overall size (it has a bulky rear end). As everyone is already cool with the thin structure of LCD TVs we have at the moment, I doubt people would want to revert to the old projection-style TV sets to avoid eating up too much space.
