Casio XJ-A140 Projector: Bottom Line

Click to Enlarge. So Close.

The bottom line on the Casio XJ-A140 is the projector performs very well when it comes to image quality, ergonomic design and innovation with its estimated 20,000 hour lamp life. The XJ-A140 size and low profile of less than two inches really make it ideal for the traveling presenter. The 2X zoom lens allows so much placement flexibility that I can't imagine an environment where you could not get the desired image size you need to make for an effective presentation. Although it can be ceiling mounted for permanent installations, its lack of features out of the box would not make this my first choice as permanent install projector. Although, the projector was never really designed to sit in one place. The XJ-A140 really should primarily be considered if you travel or need a portable unit that will get shared in a building or similar working environment.

One thing you can expect from the Casio XJ-A140 is very easy setup. Also it is really easy to control with its very well thought out remote. What is also nice is that there is a very slim chance you will ever run into lamp problems while on the road because of the new Laser LED technology. This might be why it does not have a over night replacement program like some manufacturers provide. The projector does run a bit on the hot side, but other ultra-portable units can have the same problem. With an MSRP at this time of $849 it is worth considering. If you plan to show video from an HD source make sure to order a HDMI cable or if Component Video is going to be your source make sure you order the VGA to Component cable.
