Our opinion on the Canon XEED X600 Projector

LCOS technology used to be found amongst high end SXGA+ resolution projectors costing at least £4000. The Canon XEED X60 puts an end to this. XGA resolution using LCOS technology means you can now project the highest quality detail in the boardroom.

Product Description for the Canon XEED X600 Projector

The world's first projector to feature the astounding clarity of LCOS technology combined with native XGA resolution, the Canon XEED X600 projects superior quality, high-brightness images from a petite frame.

The XEED X600 uses LCOS panels to project seamless images that are faithfully reproduced without the 'lattice' effect. The world's first LCOS projector to feature native XGA resolution (1024 x 768 pixels), it offers an economical option for those seeking LCOS-quality projection.

The XEED X600's ultra-bright 3,500 lumens ensures that projected images are bright and clear, even in well-lit rooms or large venues. Canon's Advanced AISYS optical system optimises the projector's light path, achieving powerful output from a compact, lightweight chassis.

Solving the contrast limitations of traditional LCOS projectors, AISYS yields a high 1000:1 Contrast Ratio for rich, deep colour tones as well as true blacks in dark areas. Incredible detail is provided throughout the entire image.

With a motorised Canon 1.7x wide-angle zoom lens, large images can be projected from a short throwing distance, giving great flexibility in projector placement. The lens is powered so that it can be operated from the control panel and the remote control handset. The lens coating prevents ghosting and flare.

The XEED X600 can be set up and controlled with minimal effort. With Auto Focus, the projector detects its distance from the screen, focusing accordingly. Auto Screen Colour Correction adjusts image settings for optimised viewing on different screen colours. Vertical Keystone Correction is automatic, preventing trapezium distortion of the image. The Canon XEED X600 will also automatically detect which input port is in use.

The double frame-rate drive of the LCOS panels ensures smooth reproduction of moving images, without distracting flicker.
