Overview
Teachers and meeting hosts get a large, bright picture from a projector placed a few feet from the wall, which cuts shadows from people walking in front. Two HDMI inputs switch between laptops.
High brightness and a short throw mean a large image in a lit room without ceiling mounting far back. Native resolution is below full HD, and the lamp needs replacing over time.
Who it's for
Schools and offices presenting slides and video in lit rooms. Movie buffs wanting sharp detail should look at a full HD or ultra HD model.
Pros and cons
- Bright in lit rooms
- Large image from close range
- Two HDMI inputs
- USB port powers wireless dongles
- Below full HD resolution
- Lamp needs eventual replacement
- No built in streaming
Performance notes
Short throw optics spread the image wide from close range, so the projector can stay on a desk near the screen. Digital zoom and keystone shrink the image electronically, which gives up some sharpness.
