Access to a high-quality projector can be a huge benefit for K–12 classrooms. That’s particularly true at a time when, to accommodate physical distancing needs, classes and meetings may occur in spaces other than traditional classrooms.

A projector supports multimedia presentations and the use of learning apps in a shared and collaborative environment. But most projectors today require putting a large amount of space between the unit and the screen to generate large images, reducing interactive options for smaller spaces.

That’s a challenge ViewSonic resolves with its PS501X Digital Light Processing projector. The unit features a special lens that allows it to project a 30-inch image from just 2.4 feet away, though it also works up to 7.3 feet away to make larger pictures.
