Two HDMI ports allow connection to modern laptops and media players, while VGA and composite video inputs support older equipment. The USB port can be used for media playback or firmware updates. Network control compatibility with Crestron, AMX, and PJ Link enables IT teams to manage multiple projectors remotely, streamlining maintenance and configuration.

Performance and reliability

Designed for frequent use in educational settings, this projector balances brightness and longevity. The 3500-lumen output ensures content remains visible without needing to darken the room completely, which is essential for interactive lessons and video presentations. The anti-dust sensor helps maintain image quality by protecting internal components from dust buildup, while the extended lamp life in Eco mode reduces downtime and replacement expenses.

Ideal uses and environments

This projector fits well in classrooms, small training rooms, and portable carts where space is limited but a large, bright image is required. Its short-throw design minimizes shadows and glare, making it easier for teachers and presenters to engage with their audience. The compatibility with interactive kits also makes it a strong choice for collaborative learning environments that benefit from touch or pen input directly on the projection surface.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
