Portronics iLume

MRP : 39990

The iLume delivers fairly impressive performance from a pint-sized form factor. Well-built, the projector offers good brightness and sharpness, apart from solid HD video reproduction. The on-screen menu is well laid out, however, the remote response is slightly iffy. The iLume packs decent speakers for occasional use, but you will need a proper set for most usage scenarios.



Features
For a tiny device, the Portronics iLume does pack in fairly decent specs. It features an LED projector, with Texas Instruments’ DLP technology. The playback resolution is 1280 x 800 pixels, in the 16:9 aspect ratio.
The brightness figures quoted – 400 ANSI lumens – is fairly impressive. We did find that this projector is very bright, something we will explain in detail in the Performance section.
There is no shortage of input options. Proprietary cables take care of the component input source, while there is also the VGA port and more importantly, the HDMI input for your devices. You can play back media off the USB port or the micro SD slot, which is nicely hidden away on one side spine, amidst the cooling vent grille designs!
Portronics says that you can blow up videos to a maximum of 120-inches display, and we will get into that in detail when we discuss the testing experience in the next section.

'Bullett Raja' Is A Flop

Bullett Raja has flopped at the box office. After taking a barely average start at the box office, the film didn't show much of a growth over the weekend. The weekdays saw further dip in collections, hence making it crystal clear that neither was audience much excited about stepping in while those who eventually did weren't quite enthusiastic in sharing positive word of mouth. Eventually, it turned out to be a 'thanda' affair at the box office with just about 35 crore coming at the end of first week. Now these are the kind of collections that should have ideally been accumulated by the film over the weekend! The verdict was more or less out soon after the film released and as a result the promotional effort too came to a standstill. Saif, who doesn't believe in over-promoting a film when the writing is clear on the wall, went silent. Sonakshi moved on to R... Rajkumar. Jimmy was busy with shooting of his films and Tigmanshu wasn't heard much either. As a result...
