Canon yesterday introduced three new LCD multimedia projectors targeted towards presentation professionals and their audiences.

The LV-7255, LV-7250 and LV-X6, said Canon, output XGA (1024 x 768) resolution imagery and also support UXGA (1600 x 1200) and SXGA (1280 x 1024) resolution display through compression. They provide 2500 ANSI lumens, 2000 ANSI lumens, and 1500 ANSI lumens, respectively, are capable of projecting a 100-inch image from 9.6 feet away (8.3 feet for the LV-7255 projector) and feature a 600:1 contrast ratio (500:1 on the LV-X6).

Connections for the LV-7255, LV-7250 and LV-X6 projectors include S-Video, Composite, Component (through the VGA terminal via an optional cable), two VGA input terminals (LV-7255 and LV-7250 projectors), one VGA output terminal (for connection to a computer monitor), and audio input and output. The Canon LV-7255 projector weighs 7.3 lbs, while the LV-7250 projector weighs 6.6 lbs and the LV-X6 projector weighs 6.4 lbs.

“The need to deliver effective and compelling presentations will always exist, regardless of budgetary or operational constraints, and we are committed to meeting the needs of our customers,” said Yukiaki Hashimoto, senior vice president and general manager of the Consumer Imaging Group at Canon U.S.A., Inc., a subsidiary of Canon Inc, in a statement. “The new LV-7255, LV-7250 and LV-X6 multimedia projectors provide practical value and versatility with functionality and quality.”

Sony Bravia X95L mini-LED vs. TCL QM8 QLED: The best LCD TV and the one you should buy
Sony X95L vs TCL QM8

This comparison puts Sony’s flagship mini-LED TV, the Sony X95L, versus the TCL QM8, TCL’s best mini-LED TV. I’ve called the Sony X95L the best LCD TV I’ve ever tested, and I’ve said that the TCL QM8 might just be the best value in TV right now, despite a few notable quirks.

But is this really a fair fight? There’s more than $2,000 separating these 85-inch TVs. In terms of price, Sony’s X90L is a closer match to the TCL QM8. But in terms of technology and the fact that these are the best LCD TVs on offer from Sony and TCL, I think this versus will be fun — never mind whether it makes a lot of sense.

Epson’s EpiqVision Ultra LS650 is a new option for fans of UST laser projectors
Epson EpiqVision Ultra LS650.

Epson has a new 4K ultra short throw (UST) laser projector to add to its arsenal. The EpiqVision Ultra LS650 Smart Streaming Laser Projector boasts a three-chip imaging system with a claimed 3,600 lumens of brightness, for images that can scale as large as 120 diagonal inches. The LS650 will come in white or black, however Epson won't be sharing pricing or availability until late October. Given where the new model sits in Epson's lineup, it should be more affordable than its EpiqVision Ultra LS800 flasghip.

Ultra short throw laser projectors  -- and their very similar cousins, the laser TV -- are a great way to project big, vivid images onto just about any flat surface without needing to place a noisy projector in the middle of your living room. The EpiqVision Ultra LS650 should be an ideal way to do just that.
