The DX605 projector features two VGA inputs, allowing simultaneous connection of a PC and a SCART source, and providing optimum quality for both inputs. No cable swapping or re-configuration is required, with either source able to be directly selected from the included wireless remote control, and manual focus and zoom allowing you to stay in charge of your multi-media presentation. Because this HDTV-compatible projector weighs only 4.4 pounds, you can take it on business trips, vacations and to remote work locations. The compact yet durable Optoma DX605 projector is precision-engineered and specially designed to master today's complex multimedia needs. With top-notch picture clarity, and the astonishing quality of advanced DLP technology featuring DarkChip2 DLP for deeper contrast and extraordinary brightness, everyone will want to use your Optoma DX605. This is why it includes security features such as a locking device keyhole, and the ability to be password protected to prevent unauthorized use, with the added convenience of a timer mode that allows the projector to be loaned out for a fixed time before it is automatically disabled.

What's in the Box

(customer review)The unit powered up, recognized my Mac and optimized itself for its native 1024 x 768 display. Sharp as a tack, excellent color balance and modes optimized for PC graphics (photos, sharper, etc.) and movies (NTSC optimized color balance, optimized for raster speed). I didn't try the game mode.

Very light, comes packed into a nice carry case with all needed cables (including a decently long power cord!) and with a good remote. It did everything I wanted right out of the box.
