Just Projectors review on the PS501X: The PS501X boasts a 3600 lumens brightness which is great as you will not have to turn the lights off or close the curtains whilst you are using the projector, just turn it on in the environment you are in and away you go. This projector has XGA resolution which is suitable for presentations, images and short videos. If you are showing longer videos, then it is best to go for widescreen resolution which is WXGA. Most modern sources are widescreen so there will be no stretching of pixels in your videos. This projector has a 2W built in speaker. This is a short throw projector which is perfect for limited spaces. You will be able to project a 100cm wide image at only 61cm away from the screen.

This projector has a high contrast ratio which makes the darker areas darker and the whites whiter; making the images stand out. Connect using the HDMI to show your content in high definition. There are two VGA ports so you can connect to multiple sources at the same time without swapping cables around. The PS501X also has a long lamp life – 15,000 hours! Overall, this is a great reliable unit for classrooms or your office; please give us a call for more information or check out the PDF at the top of the page.

ViewSonic Short Throw

The PS501X is a high brightness XGA short throw projector for education. With the ability to project 100” images from a distance of 124cm from any projection surface, the projector is flexible enough to fit any classroom design and keeps the presenter clear of the projection beam. For times when lights in the classroom must be kept on, a high brightness of 3,600 ANSI Lumens ensures that images remain clear and detailed. ViewSonic exclusive SuperColor™ technology offers a true-to-life color accuracy for projected images. The energy-saving SuperEco mode reduces power consumption and extends lamp life to a lengthy 15,000 hours. In addition, PS501X is compatible with the optional PJ-vTouch-10S interactive module, which allows you to use a stylus or finger touch to annotate on projected images – turning class into an engaging interactive teaching environment.

0.61 short throw projection gives you room to work with when positioning the projector. With the flexibility to be placed within inches of a screen, users will be able to project big images in any space, while also keeping presenters clear of the projection beam and avoid image shadows.

With the optional interactive package, (PJ-vTouch-10S), this projector becomes an interactive tool that transforms any surface into an interactive whiteboard. With the multi-touch capability, users can simultaneously annotate, write, or draw on the projected image to interact with the content and share ideas.

A built in USB power output (5V/1.5A) can be used to supply power to HDMI dongles, eliminating the need for separate power adapters for connected dongles.

ViewSonic’s proprietary SuperColor™ Technology offers a wider color range, ensuring users enjoy true-to-life color projection in both bright and dark environments.

The HDMI port allows users to display 3D imagery directly from 3D Blu-Ray players and connect to HDMI-enabled devices such as laptops, tablets, and media players.

ViewSonic PS501X

When the Power Saving setting is turned on and no signal input is detected, the projector will automatically switch into Eco Mode and SuperEco Mode.

  • Eco Mode: The projector will automatically switch from Normal to Eco Mode whenever it has been left idle for 5 minutes.
  • SuperEco Mode: When the projector has not received an input signal for 20 minutes, projected images are dimmed to 30%, extending the lamp’s lifespan to 15,000 hours on average.

The Presenter Timer is an embedded on-screen timer and a great time management tool for helping presentations run on schedule.

The sleep timer allows the projector to automatically power down after no signal has been detected. An easy way to save energy and extend the projector’s lifespan.

When no signal has been detected, the projector will automatically power off to conserve energy and lamp life.

About Just Projectors

We provide advice on the phone listening to your requirements we are able to help you get the right one as we have trained staff . We have a network of installers to cover your area. On higher end models we can arrange a loan or demo. We think most people should buy HD resolution , they are so affordable now and you wouldn't buy a 5 year old laptop so why buy SVGA which is over 20 years old. Yes XGA & WXGA are ideal for simple presentations and education use but we have all been use to decent home TV's or high resolution phones or tablets so why put a huge image on the wall/screen which is inferior. There are some great brands out there like BenQ, ViewSonic, Epson, Sony and less known ones like EIKI or Vivitek. Yes you can buy the wrong one, this is why we still offer advice rather than just an add to cart website. We have a price promise, we see the models, we often put one against another and see which one is best. We only buy UK stock, which has higher warranty standards to ensure you get real value for money. We don't sell the cheap brands as the lumens aren't verified. Look at our name it tells you that we are committed to this product and we have a great reputation in the market place for price and customer service. We supply the UK but also in Ireland, we offer a 1-3 day service to Ireland.
