How do I connect my LED Pico projector to my computer? Pico pocket projectors are incredibly tiny projectors that primarily use digital light processing chips as the picture engines and light emitting diodes, or LEDs, as the light sources. They are quite compact and flexible, yet they have a resolution that is somewhat faint. A Pico portable projector may be the best option for on-the-go corporate presentations to small groups even though it cannot fully replace a projector in a conference room. When you need to work in a hotel room and require a bigger image than what your laptop’s screen can show, a projector of this kind can be helpful.
How can I connect a computer to my LED Pico?
With a mini-HDMI to HDMI cable, which is available separately, connect the smaller end of the cable to the LED Pico and the larger end to the HDMI port on your laptop or computer.
1. Only machines that enable video output through HDMI will function with the LED Pico.
2. After connecting, switch on the LED Pico and choose the desired choice from the menu.
3. After that, choose HDMI.
4. It might have linked automatically through the HDMI on your computer screen, but you can change the settings to suit your needs. Press and hold down the Windows Key (the key marked with a Windows flag) if you are using Windows 7, and then while holding that key down, press “P.” Then, you have the following options:
Make the projection an extension of your computer screen.
Unplug your projecting screen.
Mirror your computer screen with what is being projected.
Just use your computer on the projected screen; don’t use it directly.
5. Your LED Pico is now your computer’s second screen!
You can completely eliminate wires by streaming PC VR games over Wi-Fi if your router is fast enough to do so. If you’re in need of an upgrade, you might want to look at our guide to the best wireless routers.
Moreover, Pico intends to release a £50/€50 USB dongle that enables Wi-Fi direct connection to PCs, which may be the most affordable option for users with subpar networking hardware. Nevertheless, as of the writing of this, it is not yet accessible. There are now two methods for using the Pico 4 wirelessly, which we’ll go over below. For the best results with both techniques, you should connect your PC to your router using an Ethernet wire and your Pico using the 5Ghz Wi-Fi band.
Using Virtual Desktop
You should purchase a programme called Virtual Desktop if you want the greatest wireless experience possible with the Pico 4. It costs about £15, is offered through the Pico store, and is available. The benefit of using Virtual Desktop over Streaming Assistant is that it can be customised, allowing you to choose greater bitrates and render resolutions, which produces results that are more accurate when viewed through a headset.
You must set up the Virtual Desktop Streamer programme on your PC after installing Virtual Desktop on your Pico headset. It is available for download from the Virtual Desktop website. On your PC, launch the Streamer app. You will be prompted to enter your Pico login. You can add more than one user, but each one needs their own licence for Virtual Desktop.
