images, critical for clear content display—especially for presentations or
high-definition videos.
Keystone Correction: Fixes distorted trapezoidal images when projecting at
an angle, allowing flexible placement without compromising image quality.
Auto Focus: Saves time adjusting image clarity by eliminating manual
tuning, ideal for quick setup in meetings or travel scenarios.
Built-in Speakers: Eliminates the need for external audio devices, offering
convenience for on-the-go use, outdoor gatherings, or small room
entertainment.
HDMI/USB Ports: Provide wired connectivity options for devices without
wireless support or direct media playback from U disks, serving as reliable
backup connections.
