Bringing exceptional long lamp life performance to the classroom and small meeting room, for classic presentation usage the new generation ME series delivers standard throw projection that’s anything but standard. Keeping operational costs to a minimum with no lamp costs to factor in, users enjoy up to 20,000 hours of trouble-free projection and no lamp replacement efforts.
