Critiques
Users reported some issues with the Qumi. The unit requires between 5 and 15 minutes to focus at warm-up, this is because the new generation LED based portables have plastic lenses. One can use a generic AV cable by reversing the RED and YELLOW inputs. RED is video on the Qumi, not the industry standard YELLOW. The built-in speaker is quiet, and the 3D has been described as usable only in the dark. Some customers have reported chromatic aberration issues. In 3D mode 1280×720 at 120Hz, the picture is blurred.
