Canon LV-8300 3000 Lumens WXGA Projector

With 3000 ANSI lumens and a 500-1 contrast ratio the Canon LV-8300 has the projection power required to display bright, sharp images in less than ideal conditions like classrooms and boardrooms that are only partially darkened.

This projector features network connectivity so it can report an error condition and even send an email when its lamp is at the end of its useful life. Speaking of useful life, the LV-8300 has one of the best warranties in the industry, three years parts and labor—one of the more obvious signs of the quality Canon builds into its products.

The LV-8300 boasts not only of quality but quantity of useful and unique features. It can decode and display closed captioning from programming sources that provide it. Its onscreen menu can be displayed in 21 different languages. Its color correction technology can compensate for projection surfaces from green chalk boards to light rose walls and six more shades with equal facility. And it can even dramatically lessen the "hot spot" that often obscures the middle of images projected onto a whiteboard.

Other features you'll enjoy include a 1.2 manual optical zoom, automatic vertical keystone correction plus or minus 30 degrees, a seven watt speaker and fan noise that ranges from 35 dB in Normal Mode (which is literally whisper quiet) down to only 29 dB in Quiet Mode.
