TCL has introduced its first mobile projector, the TCL Projector A1. Designed to cater to both indoor and outdoor use, this projector offers a versatile solution for big-screen entertainment on the go. With its compact design and robust features, the A1 aims to turn nearly any surface into a cinematic display.
The TCL Projector A1 delivers Full HD 1080p resolution with a brightness of 360 ISO Lumens. It supports screen sizes ranging from 45 inches to a generous 120 inches. TCL's expertise in display calibration ensures accurate color reproduction and sharp image quality, enhancing the visual experience for everything from movies to virtual meetings, the company claims.
Equipped with advanced screen adaptation technology, the projector automatically adjusts focus and keystone settings, simplifying the setup process. Whether used in a living room or outdoors, the A1 adapts to its surroundings for optimized viewing.
“Our amazing ultra large TVs offer the best solution for fixed screen entertainment but we recognize the different needs of consumers, so TCL is dedicated to bringing that superior viewing experience in new ways,” said Chris Hamdorf, Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing, TCL.
“Projector A1 is the perfect extension to our lineup as it meets consumers in the places they want to watch, no matter where that is. It represents the convergence of TCL’s innovative technology, combining reliable Wi-Fi and streaming entertainment with award-winning visual and audio capabilities.”
The audio system of the TCL Projector A1 includes dual 8W speakers, designed to create an immersive sound experience. Integrated Dolby Audio processing enhances audio playback, delivering clarity and precision to match the visual quality.
Beyond its primary function as a projector, the A1 can switch to a Bluetooth speaker mode, offering users an additional option for music playback. An integrated light show feature adds another layer of versatility, making the device suitable for a range of occasions.
The TCL Projector A1 integrates Google TV, providing users access to movies, shows, live TV, and more from over 10,000 apps and subscriptions. Google TV offers curated recommendations, personalized profiles, and voice control through Google Assistant. This allows users to search for content, control smart home devices, or access live updates with minimal effort.
Additionally, the device supports over 800 free live TV channels and thousands of free movies. These features ensure users can enjoy a tailored viewing experience that meets diverse needs.
The design of the TCL Projector A1 emphasizes portability and ease of use. The device features a VersaGrip handle that doubles as a stand, allowing for convenient transport and flexible placement. The handle can be adjusted to change the projector’s angle, providing optimal viewing in any setting.
Weighing in as a lightweight and compact device, the A1 is ideal for users seeking an entertainment solution that is both portable and powerful. Its design makes it well-suited for indoor movie nights as well as outdoor gatherings.
The TCL Projector A1 is now available at the price of $499 on Amazon.
