Appendix ● The specifications are subject to change without notice. ● LCD panels are manufactured to the highest possible standards. Even though 99.99% of the pixels are effective, a tiny fraction of the pixels (0.01% or less) may be ineffective by the characteristics of the LCD panels. ●E ach projector has its own characteristics. When projecting with several projectors on the same screen or side by side, you may recognize different white balance and color uniformity on each projector.
