Canon is coming out with what the company says are five new affordable multimedia LCD projectors. The new products include the LV-8225, Canon’s latest WXGA-resolution widescreen 16:10 LCD model. Other new models include the LV-7490, LV-7390, LV-7295 and LV-7290. Company official said all are targeted at value-conscious users, including educators, traveling salespeople and small-business entrepreneurs.
“Important to the presentation market are innovative features providing real end-user benefits in addition to competitive pricing,” said Yuichi Ishizuka, executive vice president and general manager for Canon’s Imaging Technology and Communications Group, in a statement. “For educators and economy-minded users, the introduction of these new portable multimedia LCD projectors offers greater value than ever before with no compromise in picture quality.”
The Canon LV-8225 delivers native WXGA resolution (1280×800) for widescreen 16:10 images. Rated at 2,500 lumens, it is designed for full-screen display of diagrams, spreadsheets, and video.
At 4,000 lumens of brightness, the new Canon LV-7490 offers XGA resolution (1024×768), making it suited for larger environments and those with higher levels of ambient light. The Canon LV-7390, LV-7295, and LV-7290 LCD projectors are versatile XGA-resolution models with brightness levels of 3,000, 2,600, and 2,200 lumens, respectively.
The new Canon LV-8225, LV-7490, LV-7390, LV-7295, and LV-7290 have suggested list prices of $799, $1099, $799, $699, and $599, respectively. All models are expected to ship in early April and each is backed by Canon’s Projector Protection Program, a free service program that provides a loaner projector of equal or greater value to the end user in the event their projector needs to be repaired.
