A short throw ratio of 1.16:1 delivers HD projections the size of a 40” display if the P1 is just a meter from the screen. The P1 powers up in as little as 5 seconds and powers off instantly. An Auto Keystone Correction feature d etects the P1's orientation and corrects distorted trapezoid images . It also has an instant height adjustable flip-down stand.

The lightweight, ultra-slim P1 works with most ASUS notebook AC power adapter s ( ≧ 65W) so the notebook and projector share a single power adapter to form the ideal business presentation combo.
