Product review summary
This page is intentionally secondary to the manual page and exists to provide review-oriented context.
The Philips NeoPix Prime 2 is a compact and well-made projector with a polished finish that can easily project your content anywhere you go. It delivers convenient entertainment with a lamp-free light engine optimized to last more than 30,000 hours. The integrated smart Philips OS and Dual Band Wi-Fi connectivity allow you to stream and binge from your favorite content providers like YouTube, Netflix, and Amazon Prime. You can also play videos, pictures, and music directly from USB sticks or stream multimedia content from your mobile devices via Wi-Fi screen mirroring. The keystone, 4 corner correction, and digital zoom corrections help eliminate crooked and distorted images for a perfectly proportioned picture even if the device is not straight in front of the wall. However, due to DRM, Wi-Fi screen mirroring cannot be used to send protected streams over Wi-Fi from a smart device to the projector. Miracast doesn't work with Google Pixel phones.
