The Casio Signature XJ-M255 sports the company’s unique hybrid LED/laser technology, plus a good range of connectivity choices including Wi-Fi, Ethernet, and the ability to run presentations straight from USB thumb drives. It has solid data image quality, and video quality suitable for basic business and classroom presentations.
The XJ-M255’s light source is rated at 3,000 lumens, and the projector has WXGA (1,280 by 800) native resolution. Instead of producing red, green, and blue using a standard lamp and a color wheel, it produces red with LEDs, blue with lasers, and green by shining blue laser light on a phosphor. Its optical system directs the red, green, and blue light to the DLP chip, and out the front lens. We’ve seen a couple of generations of Casio projectors with this promising technology.
A big advantage of the hybrid light source is its whopping 20,000-hour expected lifetime—long enough to run the projector 8 hours a day every business day for 10 years. The lifetime of standard lamps typically ranges from 2,000 to 5,000 hours, and bulbs can cost several hundred dollars to replace.
