Today at the Digital Signage Expo in Las Vegas, Casio is debuting its new 4K UHD projector, the Casio XJ-L8300HN. This 4K UHD projector is rated at 5,000 ANSI lumens brightness rating with a native resolution of 3840x2160, and features Texas Instruments new 4K DLP chip. It also has a 20,000 hour laser/phosphor light engine for low maintenance and reduced long term cost of ownership. Delivery is expected in June, so the price has not been announced.

The XJ-L8300HN is designed for large venue training and display applications, and it features both vertical and horizontal lens shift as well as a manual zoom and focus lens with a zoom range 1.5:1. Since the release is preliminary, we don't have some of the other typical data, such as weight and throw distance data, but when that information is released we will update the L8300HN spec page and Projection Calculator.
