FULL STORY
======================================================================TCL has 
revealed its first mobile projector, the Projector A1 It's an affordable 
offering that has built-in Google TV smarts It also has 8W speakers with 
Dolby Audio and costs just $499 

TCL, famed for its TVs, has moved into a new category: portable projectors. 
The new TCL Projector A1 is a low-priced mobile projector with built-in 
speakers, Wi-Fi and Google TV. 

The Projector A1 is a full HD 1080p offering that delivers 360 ISO lumens of 
brightness, with a screen size from 45 inches to 120 inches. 

The LCD projector includes automatic focus and keystone adjustment for easy 
setup, and its dual 8W speakers let you use the device as a Bluetooth speaker 
as well as to providing the soundtrack to your streaming shows and movies. 

Another bonus with the TCL Projector A1 is that it's powered by Google TV, 
including Google Assistant for voice search and smart home control, while the 
audio is handled by Dolby Audio processing. 

Chromecast is supported too, and the Wi-Fi is 802.11a/b/g/n  not cutting 
edge, then, but fine given the display resolution. A new potential bargain?

There are some nice additional touches in the Projector A1, including a 
clever handle  TCL calls it VersaGrip  that is adjustable for comfort and 
also turns into a stand. 

The projector is fairly portable too, coming in at 5.5lbs (about 2.5kg) with 
compact dimensions of 5.0in x 7.6in x 10.4in (or 127mm x 193 x 264mm). 

As you'd expect from TCL, the new Projector A1 is priced keenly: it's 
available now with an MSRP of $499 (around 395 / AU$770). 

That's significantly cheaper than our current budget pick in our guide to the 
best portable projectors , the LG CineBeam Q , although that model does have 
a higher specification and resolution than the TCL. You might also like Read
