A Hitachi WXGA short-throw projector that puts a large, widescreen image on the wall or screen from just a short distance away.
It is built for classrooms, small rooms and booths where there is no room to place a projector far back.
This is a Hitachi short-throw projector in the WXGA class, with a native resolution of 1280x800.
That is a widescreen 16:10 picture that matches modern laptop and slide output well, and it is sharper than the older 4:3 XGA projectors many venues still use.
To be clear, WXGA 1280x800 is not Full HD 1080p and it is not 4K.
The projector will happily accept a 1080p signal from your laptop or player and scale it down to fit the panel, so your content still shows correctly, just at the projector's own resolution.
The short-throw lens is the point of this unit. A normal projector has to sit several metres back to make a big image, which is a problem in a small classroom or a tight meeting room.
A short-throw model makes the same large image from close to the screen, often under a metre.
That close placement does two useful things: it keeps presenters out of the beam so they stop casting a shadow across the slide, and it stops the bright light shining back into their eyes when they turn to face the room.
It takes HDMI for current laptops and VGA for older ones, so it slots into most rooms. Brightness, the built-in speaker and the exact model are confirmed on our unit before it goes out.
