If you're looking for a lot of projection power for a small space the Sanyo PDG-DXL2000 XGA Ultra Short-Throw Multimedia Projector may just be what you're looking for. With 2,000 ANSI lumens, a 2,000:1 contrast ratio and a ten watt speaker it has the audio and video power for a wide variety of venues from a small office to a full auditorium. But fitting a big image into a tight spot is where it excels.
The PDG-DXL2000 is what's called an "ultra short-throw" projector. That means it doesn't have to be far from a screen to project a large image. For example it can project an image 6.6' wide diagonally just 12.6" away from the screen.
It's useful in a broad array of situations because it's so versatile. It's got an HDMI input and it can accept and project 720p, 1080i and 1080p high definition images. It can also handle PAL, SECAM, NTSC, NTSC4.43, PAL-M, and PAL-N signals. Along with its 100 - 240 V AC 50 / 60 Hz power supply there are few countries on earth where the PDG-DXL2000 can't do the job. It can also display closed captioning from programming sources that provide it, ensuring your whole audience will understand your presentation.
The projector's native resolution is XGA (1,024 by 768) but it can accept and scale signals at WUXGA, WXGA, UXGA, SXGA, SVGA and VGA resolutions.
Audio and video are top notch. If the 10W speaker isn't powerful enough to fill your viewing room with sound you can plug in powered speakers (not supplied) and control the volume from the remote control. (That's called variable audio out or VAO.)
The picture is formed by a Texas Instruments DLP DMD chip, which you'll find in many brands of projectors because it so well-respected. Most projector imaging systems create images from just the primary colors: red, green and blue. The DLP adds those colors' complements: cyan, magenta and yellow. Texas Instruments calls the system BrilliantColor and it increases the brightness of the colors by 50 percent over DLP systems that don't have it.
In a tiny room or a full auditorium, here in the US or around the world, projecting from video or computer sources, the PDG-DXL2000 is both powerful and versatile.
