Sharp PG-F267X Short Throw DLP Projector

The XGA-resolution Sharp PG-F267X Short Throw DLP Projector is a powerful, versatile projector that's outfitted with a short-throw lens. A short throw lens, simply put, can project a larger picture at a shorter distance from the screen than a conventional lens can. They're ideal for smaller conference rooms, classrooms and living rooms.

Short throw lenses are also preferred for rear projection setups where space behind the screen is at a premium. For example, the PG-F267X can project an image that measures five feet diagonally from as little as 31.5 inches away.

But the PG-F267X can do lot more than make big pictures in tight spaces. For one thing, it can make them all over the world. It's got an international 100 – 240 volt 50/60 Hz power supply and it can project video in the NTSC, PAL and SECAM standards. And speaking of international, its onscreen display (OSD) offers your choice of 17 languages. The PG-F267X is also compatible with a many Macintosh and PC resolution/sync rates plus 720p, 1080i and 1080p high definition. And it provides closed captioning from programming sources that provide it.

Being closer to the screen means you can get a brighter image. With 2500 lumens and a 2200:1 contrast ratio you know you'll get a vivid, lifelike image. A closer projector also helps minimize the presenter's shadow from getting in the way and the projector lamp shining in the presenter's eyes.

The projector's 0.55 inch DMD DLP (Digital Micromirror Device Digital Light Processor) panel by Texas Instruments can take the credit for the stunning images the PG-F267X can project. It features an innovation TI calls BrilliantColor. Unlike other technologies such as LCD that use just three primary colors to produce the image, DLP Technology with BrilliantColor uses up to six separate colors.

BrilliantColor not only improves color accuracy, it brightens secondary colors as well. This combination produces a new level of color performance that increases the brightness of the colors by up to 50 percent over DLP projectors without BrilliantColor for accurate, true-to-life images. What's more, DLP projectors require no filters that have to be cleaned and replaced, which saves you time and money and, in the case of a permanent ceiling installation possibly some skinned knuckles.

With the PG-F267X's RJ45 jack you can monitor and control one or a whole fleet of them via a Web browser anywhere on your local network (LAN). You also set up the PG-F267X to email you status reports.
