Know before you buy
Yes, the WHD200 kit is designed for zero-latency transmission, making it suitable for gaming. It streams uncompressed 1080p video, ensuring your inputs remain responsive and synchronized with the on-screen action.
Yes, the HD161X features vertical lens shift, which allows you to adjust the image position vertically without moving the projector itself. This provides significant flexibility when mounting the unit on a ceiling or placing it on a high shelf.
The WHD200 kit is capable of transmitting through walls and floors within a range of up to 100 feet. This allows you to keep your source devices, like consoles or Blu-ray players, tucked away in a cabinet or another room.
PureMotion is a frame-interpolation technology that reduces motion blur and judder during fast-paced scenes. It is particularly effective for sports and action movies, resulting in smoother, more fluid movement on screen.
With 2000 lumens of brightness, this projector performs best in a dedicated home theater environment with controlled lighting. While it can handle some ambient light, you will get the best contrast and color depth in a darkened room.
The projector can convert standard 2D content into a 3D effect, adding depth to your existing movie library. However, for the most immersive experience, native 3D content will always provide superior results compared to the simulated conversion.
