The image settings include standard, presentation, cinema, video and sRGB, and a screen color correction feature automatically adjusts for different wall or screen colors. The Whiteboard Mode makes this projector especially useful for the educatoin market, where smart board technology is gradually replacing traditional blackboards. The LV-7275 will be available in August for $999.

Canon U.S.A. Introduces A New Highly Affordable and Feature-Packed LCD Projector
July 15, 2009 — Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging, has expanded its notable line of LCD Multimedia Projectors with a highly affordable, 2,600 lumen XGA model. This new projector offers attractive pricing and an impressive set of user-friendly features, making it ideal for educational and business environments.
The new Canon LV-7275 Multimedia Projector provides a native XGA (1024 x 768) resolution and aspect ratio of 4:3 with several key user-friendly features and benefits:
1.2x Zoom Lens – offers flexibility by ensuring a wider range of throw distances allowing this projector to fit multiple screen sizes, whether in large or small rooms.
2,600 lumens – ensures projector can be used in environments where ambient light exists and cannot be controlled, and in classrooms/meeting rooms where notes need to be taken and turning out the lights to darken the room is not preferred.
Multiple inputs (includes DVI) – add more flexibility to this projector, as it supports notebook/desktop computers, Blu-ray and DVD players, VCRs, digital cameras and camcorders. The DVI-I interface ensures a digital connection supports the HDCP and high-definition contents available today (HD signals supported include 1080i and 720p).
Network Connectivity – the built-in RJ-45 port allows users to connect their projectors to an existing network to conveniently control them from a remote location.
Flexible image settings – offer added versatility with five modes to select from (Standard, Presentation, Cinema, Video and sRGB), helping the presenter to optimize their projected images and videos. Also included in the flexible image settings is a function that allows users to adjust the aspect ratio according to the type of projection desired.
Whiteboard Mode – with the rising popularity of whiteboards in the education market, this projector offers a Whiteboard Mode to dramatically reduce reflective white spots when projecting on a whiteboard.
Screen Color Correction – for those projecting on to more traditional surfaces, this feature will automatically adjust and compensate for wall or screen colors.
Easy Maintenance – easy-to-open top panel cover allows quick access to lamp fixture making it easier to change. Additionally, the re-styled lens cover prevents dust from entering the gaps of the zoom lever/focus ring for better performance.
The Canon LV-7275 Multimedia Projector is scheduled to be available in August at a suggested list price of $999.
