Key Features and Specifications

• Brightness and Contrast: Boasts an impressive 6500 ANSI lumens for vivid, high-visibility images even in well-lit rooms, paired with a 1600:1 contrast ratio for deep blacks and sharp details. Note that some analyses question the exact brightness measurement against industry standards, but user reports confirm its powerful output for large-scale setups.
• Lens and Projection Flexibility: Equipped with a standard 1.3x optical zoom lens (throw ratio: 1.63:1 to 2.12:1), allowing projections from distances of 3.7 to 29.1 feet, covering screen sizes from 31 inches to 400 inches diagonally (up to 702 cm image width). It supports powered vertical lens shift (50% of image height, from 1:1 to 10:0) and horizontal lens shift (10% of image width, from 3:2 to 2:3), enabling precise positioning without image distortion or the need to tilt the unit. Keystone correction is also included for additional installation freedom. Optional interchangeable lenses are available for customized setups.
