Dubai, United Arab Emirates (February 14, 2012) — The ASUS P1 Portable LED Projector has recently been awarded the 2012 iF Design Gold Award.

A total of 2,923 entries from 16 categories were put under the jury’s microscope this year, with 863 products being awarded the iF label — a symbol for outstanding design. However, only sixty of these made the grade for the coveted iF Gold Award.

Designed with the user in mind, the ultra-slim P1 projector is portable and can be set up anywhere. A flip-out stand and precision lens controls ensure hassle-free setups; while an intuitive user interface and a control panel designed for quick access to basic functions further enhance the user experience.

Award-winning design
The P1 joins a long list of award-winning products that come from the ASUS Design offices; it also recently bagged the Good Design Award in Japan.

The ASUS P1 Portable LED Projector is rated at 200 ANSI lumens and has a mercury-free Eco-LED light source that projects visuals in HD 1280x800. A short throw ratio of 1.16:1 delivers HD projections the size of a 40” display if the P1 is just a meter from the screen. The P1 powers up in as little as 5 seconds and powers off instantly. An Auto Keystone Correction feature detects the P1’s orientation and corrects distorted trapezoid images. It also has an instant height adjustable flip-down stand.

The lightweight, ultra-slim P1 works with most ASUS notebook AC power adapters (æ65W) so the notebook and projector share a single power adapter to form the ideal business presentation combo.
