Formovie's new Xming Episode One projector is $299 worth of compact cuteness

Formovie, the Chinese projector maker that made a splash a couple of years ago with its excellent Formovie Theater UST projector, today announced that preorders are now open for its new, affordable compact 1080p projector, the adorable $299 Xming Episode One. Falling under Formovie's independent sub-brand, Xming, the Episode One should fit in nicely with the portable projector set. The Xming Episode One is a standard-throw projector with a 1080p resolution image that can be projected from 40- to 120-inches in size, with a throw ratio of 1.2:1. Like most new projectors hitting shelves lately, the Episode One runs on the Google TV operating system, which means that you don't necessarily have to connect an external streaming device to it; it has Netflix already preinstalled and you can add pretty much any streaming service or app available on the Google Play Store. The Xming Episode One has two 3-watt internal speakers and supports Dolby Atmos when outputted to a compatible system. The Xming Episode One projector, while compact, does not feature an internal battery and must be connected with the included AC adapter. Formovie is offering it at the preorder price of $229 on the Formovie website if you use the code EPPRE. How big does a TV need to be before 8K makes sense?
