From classrooms to boardrooms,these high-bright, multi-function projectors adapt seamlessly to a wide range of spaces.
Functions and Features
Features designed to make installation and maintenance easy.
A convenient test pattern for picture adjustment
You can check the screen projection condition while setting up the projector by using a test pattern (grid). The projector can be checked independently without having to connect image devices and output test images.
A geometric correction function to enable projection to a screen on an angle
The Geometric Correction Tool (GCT) of included Image Express Utility Lite software enables the projection of images from a computer to screen on an angle and to screens with complex shapes.
An optional cable cover is available
The optional cable cover (NP01CV) can hide cables even in situations where cables standout, such as with ceiling mountings.
Equipped with a large, maintenance-free filter
The large filter has the two-layer construction. It provides excellent dust protection and eliminates
the need for regular cleaning. Just replace the filter when you change the lamp.
The 1.7x zoom provides excellent flexibility for installation locations
The projector supports a 1.7x zoom to cover a wide throw distance.
Advanced functionality designed for ease of operation
A USB display function for simple connection with a single USB cable
The USB display function lets you connect the projector and a computer with a standard USB cable to easily project computer screen images without computer cables.
“No-signal guidance” for easy cable connections
When there is no signal being input, the "No-signal guidance" display appears on the screen. Since you know in a glance where the cable should be inserted, your setup runs smoothly.
Supports Virtual Remote Tool for operation of projectors from a computer
*Use the included Virtual Remote Tool software.
Images can be sent over a LAN using the wired/wireless LAN option*
*Use the included Image Express Utility Lite software
**Model name of the optional wireless LAN unit varies depending on the country
where the unit is used (or to be used).

Auto Vertical Keystone Correction
Wall Colour Correction for vivid images even without a screen
Front ventilation for effective heat dissipation
Added functions for the economical use of energy and the reduction of total cost of ownership
Equipped with an automatic Eco Mode to automatically control picture brightness
Eco Mode reduces light intensity automatically and imperceptibly when switching from white screens like charts or bright images to a dark screen or image. This function can reduce the power consumption by up to 24%. Both the projector and its remote are equipped with an Eco button for easy setting of Eco Mode.
Lengthen lamp lifetime
Using Eco Mode can increase the lamp lifetime to 3500 hours*. Furthermore, the low-energy design keeps power consumption to 0.2 W during standby (low energy consumption), which helps reduce total cost of ownership.
*This is not a guaranteed value.
The Carbon Meter lets you visually check the amount CO2 you reduced
Equipped with an abundance of handy functionality.
High brightness up to 4200 ANSI lumens
Built-in monaural speaker with a powerful 10 W output
*Not available on M420XV
Computer-free presentations
The projector allows you to project images without a computer. Simply insert a USB
memory device loaded with image data directly into the projector.
*Supported graphic format is JPEG.
Basic DICOM mode allows simple display of medical images
The projector is preset with gradation
characteristics for medical images (similar to DICOM standards). You can display medical
images stored as DICOM files for presentations at academic conferences, etc.
*Cannot be used for the display of images for medical diagnosis.
The Quick start function starts projection a mere 3 seconds after the power is switched on
Quick Cooling and Direct Power Off allow speedy clean-up and transfer after use
Designed for a low noise level of 30dB (in Eco Mode) that doesn't disturb conferences or lessons
The RPM of the fan has been reduced and operation noises have been suppressed for a substantial reduction in noise.
The security function uses password settings and key locks to prevent unauthorized use
