Trying to pin down what kind of work the WXGA-Resolution Casio XJ-A240 DLP Data Projector does best is like playing Whack-a-Mole. Every time you think you've nailed it down, up pops another capability in a completely different scenario.

Let's start with the basics. With 2500 lumens of brightness at an 1800:1 contrast ratio it can project a brilliant image just about anywhere.

No matter what you use it for, you're going to love the crisp, vivid, saturated images its 0.65" Texas Instruments DLP DMD imaging chip creates.

They're illuminated by Casio's revolutionary mercury-free light source. It uses a hybrid laser-LED technology in which Casio is so confident they warrant it for three years or 6000 hours of use. (Its actual rated life is closer to 20,000 hours.) In an industry where 90 day lamp warranties are the norm, that's amazing. That represents safety and economy many a budget-strapped school district can appreciate.

But wait a second. This thing can do 720p, 1080i and 1080p high definition and it has HDMI, component and RGB inputs. That's means it would make a great home theater projector. And its color, brightness and compatibility with every gaming console on the market underscores its abilities as a great gaming machine. No TV can match the thrill of playing on a screen that can be up to five feet across, measured diagonally.

Take a closer look at those specs. It can project in the NTSC, PAL and SECAM video standards, it's got a 10-language OSD (on-screen display) and it's got a power supply that handles from 100 to 240 volts. It also comes with its own case and weighs just five pounds. With international credentials like that this projector is a corporate road warrior's dream.

So you'll have to make up your own mind. Is it an education projector? Is it a home theater projector? Or is it a corporate projector? We think no matter what kind of projector you're looking for, the Casio XJ-A240 Data Projector will do an outstanding job for you.

2500 Lumens And an 1800:1 Contrast Ratio
That's plenty of projection power for presentations in a large classroom, lecture hall or meeting room or watching a DVD or Blu-ray disc in your media room, even with a fair amount of ambient light.
Casio Hybrid Light Source Saves You Money and Helps The Environment
This technology is so revolutionary you can't even call it a "lamp". The A240 is not only mercury free, it's lamp free! The projector's patent pending Hybrid Light Source combines laser and LED technology for amazing high brightness and it can last up to 20,000 hours (it's warranted for a still amazing 6,000 hours). The A240 (or Green Slim as Casio likes to call it) is an earth-friendly, low maintenance projector that's economical to operate. It eliminates the need for short-life mercury lamps and the cost of their safe disposal.
Superior Color And Consistent Brightness Means a Great Picture For Years To Come
While the performance of conventional projector mercury lamps falls off visibly with increasing age, your A240 maintains consistent brightness and superior color. Combining long-life laser and LED technology the solid state light source output remains constantly brilliant producing brilliant, clear and impressive images throughout their whole 20,000-hour life.
Internationally Operational
With its 100 - 240V AC, power supply. 10-language OSD (on-screen display) and the ability to accept and project video in the NTSC, NTSC 4.43, PAL, PAL-N, PAL-M, PAL-60 and SECAM standards this projector is a great choice no matter wherever you are. And with its small size, low weight (just five pounds) and included carry case it's easy to take with you where you're going.
Software and Hardware Security
You can password protect your A240 against unauthorized use and you can physically secure it with a Kensington-compatible lock (available separately).

      Comments about Casio XJ-A240 DLP Data Projector:

      I bought this projector to give business presentations – and it is far better than the 3 to 5 year old projectors available in our department. The picture is sharp and bright – and the auto keystone correction works marvelously, keeping the screen image rectangular, not trapezoidal.

      The noise of the projector in Eco mode (mid-power mode) is roughly the same as our other, older projectors. The sound is a little "buzzy", but after our presentations start, no one really notices. At Full power the projector is loud, but Eco mode is bright enough for our everyday usage. There is a Quiet mode that would work well in darkened rooms.

      I really like the wideangle lens which lets us project a very large image with the projector a relatively short distance from the screen (wall, actually). Everyone in the company who has seen the image from this projector is wowed by the image size and lack of distortion.

        Comments about Casio XJ-A240 DLP Data Projector:

        I bought this projector to show presentations when I teach. I was amazed the first time I fired it up and it lit up the whole side of the room. I intentionally left all the lights on to see how bright it would be and it was very clear and easy to read text. With one bank of lights out at the front of the room and the others on when I made my first presentation, everyone commented on what a great picture and how clear it was. The fan on full mode is a bit noisy but in a large room it's not noticeable. I think in a smaller area the first eco mode would be fine. I'm going to give my husband his big screen for the next movie we watch. I haven't had it long enough to comment on how well it will hold up. So far I'm very impressed.

          Comments about Casio XJ-A240 DLP Data Projector:

          We purchased this projector because we were looking for a travel projector that offered us a wide screen aspect and higher resolution than our Dell 3400mp. I thought that the lampless Casio was going to be significantly quieter than the Dell. It was not. Not significantly noisier either. Nor lighter. However, it is a rugged little guy; constructed, it appears, nearly entirely out of metal. Not much plastic on it. You can notice a slight variation in color if you're displaying a mostly-white website, but boy, is this picture crisp and clear. Good brightness. My favorite thing about this projector is that I can fill the screen from a short distance away. We will use it primarily to demonstrate our website and show PowerPoints, and I feel that it will be well suited for both uses.

              I purchased this machine for a family reunion in Hong Kong. So something that was light and could fit in my laptop bag was important. The fact that this machine was lighter than my laptop was a key selling point for me. At the event, everyone was really impressed at how bright it was.

              It worked great for what I purchased it for; no complaints. I am thinking about using it for a home theater use case later on.

                  I wanted to start of by saying I enjoy writing comments due to me considering everyone's thoughts before buying a product. I also did wait a while before i loaded this rating due to making sure it was a more accurate rating (5 months). Using this portable unit as my Dj setup is a must (i connect it from a display port adaptor to HDMI).When i hit the switch it turns on quickly and the quality is in my favor. I mix music videos and enhance my night with visuals to top the night. Very easy to take down at any point of the night. You will notice the rainbow effect but L.E.D out performing any bulb is more towards my favor. Wishing i could of gave it a 5 but rainbow effect did stop me from that additional star.

                    Comments about Casio XJ-A240 DLP Data Projector:

                    Up until the hybrid light source came out, I never even considered getting a projector for home theater use. The idea of spending $400 and up for replacement mercury bulbs every year or so was not appealing. But this projector with an HD cable box and HDMI input, produce stunning color saturated and sharp images up to 144" (the size of our wall). It is bright, and the DLP rainbow effect is not even noticeable compared to the projector we use at work. I would highly recommend this product.

                    I am very happy with it other than it gets extremely hot so you have to hold the edges to move it when you are done (thus the 4 rather than 5 star).

                    The concept of a 20K hour lighting system with no mercury is great. I don't think it is as noisey as some say.

                    Used for indoor business presentations with small to large groups and it is perfect. I also used it to project outside at night against my house for movies & that was so fun I ordered a very large outside movie screen.
