Title: Philips' Screeneo U5 4K projector Indiegogo campaign takes just 5 minutes to reach its goal
Post by: Redaktion on November 08, 2022, 18:50:02
Philips claims that its new crowdfunding campaign for the Screeneo U5 took just five minutes to achieve its goal. The new successor to the U4 (also launched on Indiegogo) upgrades to a 4K UHD resolution and an image of up to 150 inches. It has an impressively high max brightness rating and has a UI based on Android 11.

Why on earth does a gigantic company like this need an online fundraiser?

Don't think of the campaign as a fundraiser, look at it as a pre-order campaign where they make sure they will have at least the amount of preorders to break even in their efforts to bring this to the market.
Also, this is a smaller subsidiary of Philips called Philips Projection, based in Switzerland, that's launching this product. So yes, gigantic company presence, but in this case just a smaller part of that brand name.

They say they use Indigogo as a pre-order method to get into contact with early adopters. They actually guarantee delivery, which is quite unique.

I'm so tempted though, but I don't want to spend this kind of money on a whim.
