Deep-Dive Story & Problem/Solution

Large Classrooms Need Brightness That Lasts the Whole Semester and Beyond

A lamp projector in a lecture room can lose a large share of its output within a year of daily use. Students at the back struggle to read slides, and facilities staff add lamp changes to their schedule.

The L520W uses a laser light source rated for 20,000 hours. Its 3-chip 3LCD engine delivers 5,200 lumens of both color and white brightness with a dynamic contrast ratio of up to 2,500,000:1.

WXGA resolution matches the 16:10 output of most laptops, and a 1.6x optical zoom lets the projector serve many room depths without changing the mount.

5,200-Lumen Laser for Big Rooms

Images up to 280 inches remain readable in ambient light. Equal color and white brightness keeps diagrams and video vivid.

Installation-Friendly Connectivity

HDBaseT carries video over a single Cat cable for long distances. HDMI, VGA, RJ-45, and RS-232 are also provided, with horizontal and vertical keystone and Quick Corner adjustment.
