4000-Lumen XGA Short Throw DLP Projector with 0.616 Throw Ratio, Dual HDMI, and 4:3 Aspect Ratio for Classrooms and Conference Rooms
The ViewSonic PS502X is a 4000-lumen XGA short throw projector that displays a shadow-free 100-inch image from just 4.3 feet, making it the right choice for classrooms and meeting rooms where wall-mount installation eliminates presenter shadow and reduces ceiling infrastructure. The native 1024x768 XGA resolution with 4:3 aspect ratio matches interactive whiteboards, overhead document cameras, and legacy educational content that was designed for standard-format displays. Dual HDMI inputs connect two source devices simultaneously, and a powered USB-A port supplies wireless HDMI dongles directly from the projector. A purpose-built short throw projector from ViewSonic with auto keystone, 12,000-hour lamp life in eco mode, and compatibility with both PJ-WMK-305 short throw and PJ-WMK-007 standard ceiling mounts.
The PS502X delivers 4000 lumens at a 0.616 short throw ratio, placing the projector directly above the screen for wall-mounted installations that keep the projection path clear of standing presenters and walking students. The 15,000:1 contrast ratio produces sharp text and legible fine detail on standard projection screens and interactive whiteboard surfaces. Auto vertical keystone correction ensures a properly shaped image without manual adjustment after each startup. At 6.33 lbs and 295W, the PS502X balances brightness output with manageable power draw for schools and offices that run projectors 6 to 8 hours daily.
Where the PS502X Fits
- K-12 classrooms with interactive whiteboards where the short throw ratio eliminates presenter shadow, the 4:3 XGA resolution matches legacy educational software and document cameras, and dual HDMI connects both a teacher laptop and a classroom desktop
- Conference rooms with limited depth where wall-mount installation above the screen provides a bright, shadow-free 100-inch image from 4.3 feet without the ceiling height required for traditional long-throw projectors
- Multi-projector school deployments where the low acquisition cost, 12,000-hour eco lamp life, and auto keystone minimize the total cost of equipping and maintaining projectors across every classroom in a building
What the PS502X Delivers
- 0.616 short throw ratio at 4000 lumens: Projects a 100-inch image from just 4.3 feet away. The short throw design enables wall-mount installation directly above the screen, eliminating presenter shadow and keeping the projection path clear of foot traffic.
