Are there any news about the “real / final” MSRP (manufacturer’s suggested retail price) for the PicoPix Max?
More and more backers who already received their PPX will probably get that Question from Friends & Co.
To be honest:
Everytime I responded with the previously on Indiegogo mentioned 899€ plus VAT, I have heard that this is way to much…
P.S. What is by the way THE competitor product to a PPX? Without the Battery I now for example the Viewsonic M2 for 669€ incl. VAT (But AFAIK the M2 cant Play Netflix in FullHD because AFAIK it doesnt have a Widevine L1 DRM certification from Google(!)
It was stated many many times by Philips / Screeneo at the Indiegogo, the retail price is 899€ + VAT = ~1000€. The way to justify this is to understand that PPM is the ONLY product which offers full portability, 1080p and high lumens. PPM is a luxury toy for the rich.
When the market expands and there will be many many more options, the base price for this type of projectors will probably be something like 780€ (VAT incl).
As the saying goes, never buy the first product of a “new” market if you want a reasonable quality-price ratio. Buy it, if you want to be a rich adventurer riding the first wave of technological progress!
Ps. Horrible dynamic range and black levels for a 1000€ projector!
