Introduction

I would like to thank Dangbei for supplying the sample.

The Dangbei Atom projector manages to combine a few very interesting and core features into a compact enclosure which includes an ALPD Laser source, a fully integrated Google TV experience and plenty of smarts to make setup of the unit easy. While it is not meant to be portable as it does not have a built-in battery, its form factor also makes is easy to store away or transport to your friends house for movie night. Dangbei as a brand has been around for a while and is also the brand behind the Emotn N1, one of the first projectors that managed to offer the full Google TV and Google App Store experience inside a projector. The Dangbei Atom Laser Projector we are reviewing today manages to output Full HD, squarely aiming it at the mainstream user.
