A short time ago, I described a projector with the phrase 'Good things come in small packages'. Samsung's new SP-H03 DLP projector deserves better, so let me say that 'Great things come in pico packages.' At 7½ ounces and 2¾' square, this is the smallest 30-lumen pico projector on the market. This projector is made for hallway conversations and small meetings that can now include a projection experience. It is perfect for 'show and tell' sessions with photos, video clips, and short business documents pre-stored in internal memory. Full-length movies will exceed battery time, but the AC adapter solves that issue, so now you can watch 'Gladiator' or some other favorite in the comfort of your hotel room with an image larger than your laptop's screen.
The SP-H03 fits easily in the palm of your hand. Mini cable adapters connect composite video and VGA computer sources, and a USB adapter handles memory sticks. Top that off with 1 GB of internal memory, a microSD slot, and a list price of $299.99, and you have a potent little projector for intimate settings.
Overview
Brightness and Uniformity: Many projectors do not live up to their brightness specification, but the SP-H03 hits its mark exactly. Specified at '27 lumens typical, 30 max', it delivered 27 ANSI lumens in Normal mode at maximum brightness. Eco mode dropped brightness to the 15-lumen level, and uniformity was 80% with the bottom of the image a little brighter than the top.
Controlling ambient light makes pico projector images appear brighter, but even in a moderately bright room, a 24'diagonal image is bright enough for close-up viewing. The SP-H03 can project up to an 80' image, but if you want to get anywhere near that size, you will have to turn out lights and lower shades for a satisfactory image.
Image Size and Position: For all images sizes, the centerline of the lens is even with the bottom of the image. This is convenient for desktop placement in intimate seating arrangements since the center of the image is roughly at eye level. There is no keystone correction in most picos, so if you have to tilt the projector to get the image where you want it, you will distort the picture symmetry. For best viewing while sitting close to the screen, place the projector at tabletop height, and the center of the image will be roughly at eye level.
Source Selection: On power-up, the SP-H03 presents an Input Source menu where you can select AV for video, PC for computer, and memory sources such as internal, USB, and microSD. Within the memory categories, you can choose Documents, Videos, Photos, and Music. The memory limit for USB memories is 16GB, and for microSD cards, it is 32GB.
User Settings: As you might expect with a pico projector, some user settings are absent (e.g., color temperature and wall color compensation), but brightness and contrast are adjustable in all modes with saturation and tint settings also adjustable in video mode.
Connections: Like most picos, the SP-H03 uses mini connectors and cable adapters to connect external sources. A general-purpose connector accommodates an included VGA adapter, a mini phone jack connects an adapter that fans out to three RCA females for composite video, and a mini USB adapter cable provides a full-size female USB connector for memory sticks. Component video is connected via a Y/PB/PR-to-VGA adapter cable (not included).
Warranty: Samsung offers a 1-year parts and labor warranty for the projector, and the battery is included as well.
Advantages
Image Quality: In controlled ambient light conditions, the video quality of the SP-H03 is quite good. A few adjustments to default settings of brightness, contrast, and saturation are needed to optimize the image, but the result is well worth the effort. While a 1000:1 contrast ratio is not going to deliver shadow detail and differentiated highlights, the SP-H03 does put up a well-saturated and well-balanced image with excellent flesh tones. Data images lack some punch, but increasing brightness and contrast from optimal video settings helps.
Aspect Ratio: The SP-H03's native 854 x 480 resolution makes it a natural for viewing movies. The 800 x 600 competitors display widescreen 480i video with black borders above and below the image, but the SP-H03 maps 16 x 9 images full frame with no black bars.
Computer-free Presentations: Using Samsung's Document and Media Viewer conversion utilities, you can store your Microsoft Office documents (Word, Excel, and PowerPoint), Adobe .PDF files, and movie, image, and audio content in their native formats in internal memory.
Compatibility: The SP-H03 can accommodate a wide range of data, video, and music formats. Formats supported include VGA to 1280 x 800 (WXGA 16:10) for computers, NTSC, AVI, and MP4 for movies, JPEG and GIF for images, MP3 and WAV for music . . . and several more that limited space prevents listing.
Fan noise: At 23dB in Normal mode, fan noise will probably be lower than what you will hear from air conditioning vents or outside traffic. Low fan noise is especially helpful since the SP-H03's audio output is relatively low.
Internal Memory: For such a small projector, you might think that internal memory would be limited, but the SP-H03 packs a hefty 1 GB of storage, considerably more than some of its competitors.
Battery Life: Once the snap-on external battery is fully charged via the AC adapter, the SP-H03 will last for about an hour and a half showing a movie with audio at mid-range. If you are looking at photos with no sound, then you will get close to two hours of viewing time.
Detachable Battery: If you really want to minimize the size of the projector, you can unsnap the battery from the bottom of the SP-H03 and use only the AC adapter. While the adapter does take up space, it can go on the floor out of sight, and you will lower the projector's height to only 1 inch and reduce its volume to an astonishing 7 ½ cubic inches.
Lamp Life: Like many pico projectors, the SP-H03 uses LEDs to illuminate the DLP chip. This technology puts lamp life into the 30,000-hour range, so lamp replacement is unnecessary for the useful life of the projector.
Menu Control: For some pico projectors, the lack of a remote control is a limitation because pushing panel buttons can jostle the projector. In the SP-H03's case, however, this is overcome by having touch-sensitive controls embedded in the top surface of the projector. When you touch the surface, seven backlit menu icons appear. These touch-sensitive icons are easy to identify and respond to a light touch, and it is a simple matter to select the one you want without disturbing the projector.
Maintenance: Good news here . . . there is nothing to do but clean the lens occasionally and vacuum the air intake vents if dust has accumulated.
Limitations
Placement Flexibility: Pico projectors, including the SP-H03, typically do not have zoom lenses, so image size is directly proportional to the projector's distance from the screen. For example, a 48' image puts the SP-H03 at 66' from the screen, and if that is not a convenient spot to set the projector, then you will have to live with a different image size.
Image Focus: Like most picos, the SP-H03 has a relatively simple optics system that does not deliver as sharp an image focus as larger projectors. Still, a slightly soft focus lends a bit of theater effect to movie viewing that is quite enjoyable. Focus is adjusted by a slider on the left side of the projector.
Audio Quality: The SP-H03's 1-watt speaker may be enough for a very small audience seated close to the projector although the sound is all mid and high frequencies. However, there is an audio output for those times when you need external amplification.
On-Screen Menus: While the menus are easy to get to via the backlit icons on the SP-H03's surface, getting to the function you are after is not particularly intuitive and some practice is needed. A clearer explanation in the included User Guide of how to navigate the menus would be a nice documentation upgrade.
Rainbow Effects: Even though the SP-H03 uses LEDs for illumination and avoids the need for a color wheel, it still has some minor rainbow artifacts in certain fast moving video scenes. Not all viewers will see these artifacts, so a try-before-you-buy approach might be a good idea to see if you are susceptible to rainbow effects.
No Digital Input: Several of its competitors offer a digital input, but the SP-H03 does not. This means that you won't be able to connect DVI or HDMI signals you may have on your computer or DVD player.
Conclusion
If you are a mobile presenter that really likes to travel light or you want to watch movies while traveling with an image bigger than your laptop display, then Samsung's SP-H03 might be the answer. It is compact, light, and puts up a surprisingly good picture for its size. With only 480 lines of vertical resolution, it is more suited to movies and PowerPoint slides than detailed spreadsheets, but battery life is close to two hours, and many image formats can be displayed. Ambient light can be an issue and there is no digital input, but at $299.99, the SP-H03 is a serious contender in the pico projector market.

please explain abt this problem
thanks Suman
Am i missing something , please can somebody clarify whether it can really play avi and jpeg ?
I have a macbook pro and was wondering if the samsung SP-H03 is compatible with it?
Kind regards
Adrian Riddell
The only thing to look out for is that image resolution is limitted to 4MP any more and you will get an error message saying that the image format is not recognised. JPEGs work fine but you must respect this limitation.
There is a similar issue concerning video file size. I'm not sure exactly what the limitation is for the moment but under 1.5GB works fine and 2.5 does not.
For info, MP4 at 852x480 resolution works fine (I'm using cloneDVDmobile from Slysoft)
There is a downloadable manuel from the Samsung site that is worth a look.
If anyone can share other information I'd be grateful ;-)
Cheers
despite charging the battery for several hours, when projecting photos or video use, the battery is discharged quickly and does not last as they say 2 hrs, why?
Google tranlation: you can connect an iphone 4 on the pico samsung sp-h03
Thanks
anybody has an answer for the above question: How to access-copy-remove files from internal memory and microSD?
running on Linux here.. Otherwise really nice device!
having recently purchased one of these projectors from SAMSUNG, myself & friends are highly impressed!!!
so far the projector is without fault...except for two.
1: the manual focus 'slider' is vauge and difficult at times to sharpen the image.
2: the limitation of projecting a 4mp image in jpeg form is very restricting.
most modern digital cameras are greater than 5 and often 10mp.
does any one know of software that can reconfigure a 10mega pixel jpeg to 'trick the projector' into thinking it is only 4mp.
...or is there another way around this sad restirction that makes a fantastic projector only great???
i hope that someone reading this can post an answer??

I've tried to use this pico on a macbook pro when I first connected the projector to the mac the internal memory was recognized but not the SD card.
I tried to put somme video files on the internal memory Then I tried to use the projector alone but when I browse the menus the folders are empty..
now when I connect the projector to the mac i still can't see the SD card, but I can't put files on the internal memory either..
am I missing something?
hello, I was watching the commentary chris, says he works perfectly in a room with light, but I do not work well, is very clear, I tried to improve the brightness and contrast, but equally, there is a way to make ? I hope your answer thanks

What did not work so far, and how i solved it -Component, tried several cables (component to vga) to connect my ps3 or wii with high quality. Does not work, ended up buying a component to vga box, what cost me about 80 bucks. called samsung, and they didn't know. They should call me back like 6 months ago. - connecting to a mac with vga, Use displayconfigX and set the resolution to 800x480 with 60hz (for movies ok, but for osx itself it's not nice to work with). That should do the job. with windows no problems @ 800x600 trough vga.
Rest work fine
@Delno Tromp: there is a VGA adapter, and then you need a VGA-minidsiplay adapter, as always with VGA stuff.
I bought the Mini Display port to VGA Adapter, connected it to the PC adapter and..it doesn't work..
is there anything I am doing wrong or is this simply not compatible! If so that should be clearly stated by Samsung!
Overall still like the darn thing but a bit more tips and tricks on how to connect this versatile hardware is very very welcome!!
The aspect issue solved. With proper signal in the main menu (button low left) allows aspect adjustment choosing 'size'. DVD:s, computer asf handle well, even the inexpensive COBY pocket DVD with a 7' screen of its own is fine to show old classic 4:3-movies. A marginal issue was found with contrast adjustment; the picture bleaches when moving away from 50 either way and completely when reaching 80 and beyond or 20 and below.. Picture OK at 50.. So, I got what I wanted, GOOD SAMSUMG!!
Google Translation: Sr.requiero perform maintenance on my computer when I start aproyectar images seen many buyers and sellers which makes visualization of the projected images can tell me where he is performing this service for maintenance. I am located in Zulia State Venezuela.Si Ciudad Ojeda someone can share information I'd be very grateful.
Google translation to English: The Samsung pico projector is compatible with mc?. I just bought and I am not clear.
The number I used was 01932454358
I hope they manage to sort it out for you, these projectors are brilliant.
Best of luck.
I tried calling Samsung Canada and they told me to contact the reseller to have it repair under warranty, but Future Shop is only covering it for 1 year..
Any help will be greatly appreciated since I only use it 3 times in 1 year, but now useless, still in is original boxe like brand new, but defective - last time I will buy a Samsung product if I could not get it repaired!
Thanks
The image quality is amazing. It is really shockingly good. The rest is crap.
I am truly and very, very disappointed with it. White spots all over.
It is supposed to have at least 10,000 hours. I don't see it reaching that.
Shame on Samsung for such false advertisement and lame product.
Will move on to Acer, Sony, etc. Anything not Samsung.
