The LV-7490 also supports WXGA resolution from a widescreen laptop or PC through high quality compression. It's the perfect pairing for both an XGA and WXGA computer High Brightness - 4000 Lumens, High Contrast - 2000:1 The LV-7490's 4000 lumens gives you the ability to deliver your presentations in a wider variety of venues in a broader range of lighting conditions. From classrooms to offices and from medium sized boardrooms to hotel meeting rooms, this projector will step up to the job. There is little to worry about if you can't have a completely dark environment as you will still see bright, clearly visible images, even in moderate levels of ambient light. One reason is that in addition to the 4000 Lumens brightness the LV-7490 has a 2000:1 contrast ratio, ensuring that your presentation shows deep blacks and bright whites.

High Contrast - provides clear, easy-to-see images in brighter environments. Cinema - setting best suited for movie projection (DVD and HDTV) as it excels at providing gradations of dark portions of images.
