Ask Proxima C250 DLP Video Projector

Ask Proxima C250 MSRP: $1,249

Overview

The ASK Proxima C250 showcases DLP® BrilliantColor™ technology, setting an impressive performance standard previously unattainable by DLP projectors. All users will enjoy true-to-life color reproduction with unrivaled accuracy, 2500 lumens, and a deep 1400:1 contrast ratio. Unlike LCD projectors the C250 makes use of up to 6 separate colors (Red, Green, Blue, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow) - which perfects midrange clarity and brightness. This projector is exactly what creative professionals and ProAV users have been anticipating; flawless colors with 24-hour reliability and impeccable image clarity.

Color Accuracy:
DLP® chipsets with BrilliantColor™ technology enable ASK Proxima projectors to use far more available space on the color wheel, effectively increasing luminance as well as color depth. Fine-tuning of this process has yielded impeccable true-to-source image reproduction, breathtaking contrast accuracy and ultimate clarity.

High Resolution Display:
The ASK Proxima C250, C250W & C315 are all compatible up to UXGA (1600x1200) resolution and will automatically adjust image size to fit your computer output. This level of detail makes for truly impressive large-format viewing where details can speak for themselves in document sharing, rendering presentations and video playback.

Projector Reliability:
It’s well known that ASK Proxima projectors with DLP® technology outlive most other products available. Thanks to filter-free engineering there aren’t any parts to clean or replace, nor annoying warning messages to disable. With a 3500 hour lamp delivered in the C250, C250W & C315 it will be many years until your projector needs any kind of service.
