Portable, light-weight, compact
The new power unit, circuit board design, and simple structure minimize the
projector body almost to page-size length and width, and a weight of 14.8 lb (6.7
kg), which is about 2 lb (1 kg) lighter than conventional projectors. An optional
carrying case is useful for transporting the unit.
❐
Bright, clear images
The high-performance zoom lens, new high-brightness lamp, and optical block
let the projector achieve wide-screen image projection (from 21 to 300 inches) at
a projection distance from 4 to 40 feet (1.2 to 12.3 m).
❐
High-resolution, full color (16770 thousand colors)
Three R, G, and B TFT liquid crystal panels containing 307,200 pixels support a
VGA resolution of 640 x 480 dots (approximately 920 thousand pixels). The grid
between pixels in the liquid crystal panel is thinner than in conventional
projectors to provide sharp contrast.
❐
Remote control
The easy-to-use remote control handles numerous functions for presentations.
You can control the main operations with one hand. By attaching the computer
and projector with an optional cable, you can use the remote control as a
computer mouse.

Connectivity with various computers
An advanced capacity for data signal determination enables the ELP-3500 to
connect with various computers, such as IBM PC compatibles (including DOS
compatibles) and Macintosh computers. The projector also can determine
whether the video signal is NTSC, PAL, SECAM.
