Sony MP-CL1 (early access to an out-of-date review)

You may have already answered this somewhere but who made the Muppets they look very professional? Love the videos (and the puppets) so thought it was time to patreon you (is that a thing?). Keep up the good work and the 4k videos look awesome on my smart tv.

Only one thing: Stop the timewasting with the puppet theatre. Otherwise I like Your approach to Retro Tech very very much (special Your consideration and explaining of details), which is why I became a patron. You should consider giving Your Paypal.me ID like Ms. Changa of Kodi XBMC Tutorial. Because this way the donation is converted first from EUR to USD to GBP. Which makes currency losses of about 25 % at least I suppose (plus the VAT that is added to this of 19 %). Suppose You receive less than 60 % of what's donated as amount.

Hello again. I try my best to release a video a week...however it's looking 99.987% certain that the next video will only be ready in a few days. I'm working on another old format video..and these take a lot of time and effort (especially when it comes to editing). Please bear with it and I'll have a new video uploaded as soon as possible. If you want muppets - add a day.

I like this video because it is a novelty item. A James Bond device (ok, 007 from my era). Also I learned something new; that is how contrast works with projection. Never thought of that. I was thinking of a Philips near by projector (forgot the name), but I probably will wait for OLED screens become a bit cheaper. Also: I like your double intro, a bit of a TV series technique?

Reviews like this are IMO very interesting, and there will always be people who find them exactly what they need when looking for a product. I'm almost tempted by a projector (yes I'm kind of looking for a solution to a problem I don't actually have) but they're too expensive for me to justify right now...but I still like to look, and your reality-friendly reviews show perfectly just how they perform, unlike the manufacturers marketing rubbish. I now know exactly how a laser projector would work if I did get one. Speaking of projectors, do you want to review the Hudly I bought? Keep these coming I say.

One question, I have a DLP projector in the bedroom, for gaming etc, and I was thinking of replacing it with a projector like (its small, low noise, doesnt mess with the missus feng sui and so on...) In your oppinion, could a laserprojector act as an acceptable subtitute? cheers :)

I'm with you, I find things like this very very interesting.

It's long been unclear to me who the intended market is for these tiny devices. Perhaps for salespeople on the go, who don't want to haul around a big bulky projector and have to try to find a power connection and extension cord at the customer's location. A pitch can quickly go sour if the customer is annoyed by a disorganized or unprepared salesman.

Great review and very cool product! I think it's still very beneficial to reviews of current, yet not "new" products.

" Showing an expensive gadget that most people don’t have any need for, is often like waving a red rag at a bull. " Funny that. There are TONS of blogs about performance super cars costing between 6 and 8 digits, with reviews of them by everybody and his brother, and no one seems all that worked up. But review one moderate to high end piece of consumer electronic gear and they all loose their nut. I DON'T CARE, I LIKE VIDEOS LIKE THIS. KEEP THEM COMING.

I have an Asus S1 projector, mainly used when I was consulting and we were in a room without a projector and no way to get one. But yeah, they aren't the best things for sure. I only used it in 'emergencies'

Yet again, another gadget I didn't even know existed; so great work as always. If I were the Patreon (or YouTube) Dean, I'd present your channel with a "First". [Apologies for the corny joke there 😳]

I actually like these reviews of more obscure and iconic products independent of how old they are. A review of a 3 year old graphics card is worthless, but I found this review quite enjoyable. Especially when you talk about the technology and idea behind this product make it more interesting than most of the "what's hot this week reviews".

My favourite things you do are the retro tech reviews and repairs etc. But - reviews of anything are worthwhile - regardless of them being older or brand new. I bought a UoPlay gimbal based on your review and love it - but it's not something I would ever have thought of buying before I saw your video. (By the way I designed and 3D printed an adapter to hold a GoPro 3/4 in the Gimbal in horizontal mode - let me know of you want one! :-) (Same goes for anyone else here. :-)

I like it when you review modern devices, it is a interesting perspective from your older stuff that usually needs to be fixed first before you can press the start button on the device!

2 comments: #1. First is great and all, but I find that many times I'm looking for opinions or reviews on a product that I see advertised, or that I 'm shopping for. The fact that it would be the first has little bearing in the later days, weeks and months of a product's life-cycle. #2: I like the "in real life" aspect of the review. Specs, facts, figures are fine. A bit of "hey, I've actually used this and here are some of my personal findings" are what I'd ask someone about, and what I find more interesting.

How is 1920×720 16/9 aspects ratio?

My camcorder had a projector built in (Sony pj620). Recently when showing my parents a video of my baby daughter the only flat white surface I could find was the window blind. So we watched for 20mins, when I suddenly remembered the movie "Be kind, rewind" and went out to the front garden to clearly see my baby being cute on the back of the blind. My lucky neighbours.

Any review of Tech is helpful in my opinion. I don' t think it has to be current.

I watched it. I thought it was interesting as I've always had a fascination with these devices but have never actually seen one in operation. I think it's fine for you to do the occasional modern or semi-modern review because, let's face it, the big media company reviews are always boring and tend to focus on issues that don't really matter as much as people like to think they do, such as specification numbers rather than real-world performance.

Not first, but very informative! Great video!

Great video... and the perfect intro's combination for my taste.

I'm glad you mentioned real world scenarios... Yes, a nice blank wall is kind of hard to find when you think about it. I'll wait for flexible video walls to be affordable where you can just fold it up and take it with you ;-)

Any videos you do are fine by me, it's the Techmoan levels of quality production in tandem with bits of tech that I'm here for.

First! edit (having watched the video) - I don't mind videos of older current niche tech - there's a chance I might actually be able to afford it by the time you get round to reviewing it!
