Projector
The lab hasn't had a projector since the member that was loaning one left for pastures new. Quite a few workshops could benefit from a projector, and it's pretty much expected for guest talks etc. Also will allow us to do some Movie nights.
Requirements
- XGA (1024×768) or better
- Bright enough to use in day light (we do have blackout blinds that we could pull down) 2400 Lumens should be enough
- Availability of replacement lamps
- 15 pin VGA + (other Inputs)
Something like Optoma HD600X-LV looks like a good model.
The screen in front of the wall logo is 150cm wide x 120cm high. The distance from the screen to the shelve on the workbench (a natural location out of the way) is 6m so this is probably a bit of stretch with a standard lens. Alternatively it could be ceiling mounted without much trouble.
Budget
Estimate £350 including VAT + Delivery
