There are three main differences between the 335 and 235 projectors:

Resolution

Micro mirrors
•
The Polaview 335 features a brightness of 1000 lumens, along with true XGA resolution of 1024 x 768
lines. The Polaview 235 features a brightness of 850 lumens, with SVGA resolution of 800 x 600 lines.
The Polaview 335 uses compact micro mirrors to enhance the intensity of light released, without
adding excessive weight or bulk to the projector.
How do I choose between the Polaview 335 and Polaview 235 projector?
When choosing a projector, consider the resolution of your computer, as well as the size of the presen-
tation room. Regardless of computer or presentation site, Polaroid has a projector that's right for you.
The Polaview 335 boasts an impressive brightness of 1000 lumens, along with true XGA resolution of
1024 x 768 lines. It's ideal for demanding applications such as larger presentation rooms, or the projec-
tion of fine detail. The Polaview 235 gives you a bright 850 lumens, with SVGA resolution of 800 x 600
lines. It's an ideal match to the image appearing on your computer screen.
Do I need to take precautions when transporting the Polaview 335 and 235?
Because the Polaview 335 and 235 are super-portable, you never lose direct control over your projector,
as you might when checking a piece of luggage onto an airplane. The fact that the Polaview 335 and
235 can be stowed on an airplane as "carry-ons" means that they never have to be subjected to rough
handling or extreme changes in temperature. However, since the Polaview 335 and 235 are sensitive,
technological products, care should be taken in transporting them. Avoid exposing the projectors to
sunlight or leaving them in your car. Like all projectors, the Polaview 335 and 235 are sensitive to
extreme heat or cold, so allow at least 10 minutes equilibrium time before turning them on. And, of
course, be careful when moving the projectors from place to place.
Does it matter what kind of projection screen I use?
Although you can always project the image onto a bare wall, a good screen greatly enhances the quali-
ty of a presentation. There are three main varieties of screen: matte, lenticular, and beaded. Matte
screens are a bit dull, but because they have a wide viewing angle, they are a good choice when the
audience is seated all the way out to the sides of the room. Lenticular screens reflect light from very
thin ridges, so the image is quite sharp directly in front of the screen. Beaded screens combine the best
of both worlds, reflecting light very well and allowing a wide viewing angle.
