The affordable high-lumen projector with a manual zoom lens.

The PLUS U5-512 provides excellent performance value with a manual zoom lens. At less than a dollar per lumen, the dream of affordable high-lumen digital projection has finally been achieved! You can enjoy the projection quality that only PLUS provides without the hefty price tag. At 1800 lumens your images shine crisp and colorful with the room lights on or off. PLUS's unique Advanced Color Wheel (ACW) preserves brightness, while allowing for greatly enhanced color reproduction and astoundingly clear picture quality.

The U5 series of projectors is the new business standard line from PLUS. Texas Intruments' next-generation DLP DDR chip, an updated design, improved optics, and much more improvements to every feature. Use of the new DDR dramatically improves the projector's contrast with a high 2000:1 ratio. Project crisp, sharp images in which black looks black, and white is really white. A rich range of gradations enables the faithful reproduction of subtle color shades, greatly enhancing the picture's quality.

Advanced, next generation features standard on the U5-512: "Eco-Mode," saving you lamp hours, with only a 20% reduction in brightness; an on-screen timer to make sure your presentations stay on track. Cost of ownership overall is significantly reduced through the lamp life of approximately 2000 hours in normal mode, and approximately 3000 hours in Eco-Mode.

Further protect your investment: U5 series projectors can be set to require the input of a password at startup. We recommend affixing a label to your projector indicating that it is password-protected to prevent tampering or theft. Also, the standard security cable slot is featured on all PLUS projectors.

Contrast Ratio:

An incredible Light/Dark contrast at 2000:1! Black is black, and white is white. This provides clearer images of text and fine drawings than other low-contrast projectors with the same brightness, also allowing fine gradations of expression with photographs and other images.

Now you can give effective presentations away from the office, even when space is limited. With the manual zoom lens, you may optically zoom in and out to fine tune the size of your projected image.

Digital Zoom Feature:

This function projects the point you want to emphasize most on the screen, and allows greater control with a scrolling feature while zoomed in.
