The compact Virelli, with a VGA input.
The Virelli V309 is an 8K UHD (7680 x 4320) LED projector rated 8,000 lumens on a 4.45-inch LCD panel, throwing a 40-inch to 300-inch picture from 1.5 to 4 metres, with a PC/RGB (VGA) input and a headphone output.
Compact, Not Compromised
It shares the flagship’s 250 W LED source rated for 30,000 hours, the lens shift, keystone and 25 dB fan, in a smaller body that suits living rooms, classrooms and meeting rooms. The compromises are size and maximum picture, not the core of the image.
The Inputs It Adds
Two HD inputs plus a PC/RGB (VGA) input for laptops and PCs, one multimedia input, AV, audio in and a 3.5 mm headphone output for private viewing.
Bright, Even, Quiet
A manufacturer-rated 8,000 lumens with brightness uniformity above 97% keeps the picture clean from centre to corner, and the 25 dB fan keeps it out of the way of a film or a presenter.
Who It Is For
Living rooms that want a big picture without a big projector, home offices that present from a laptop over VGA, and classrooms that need sharp text at 8,000 lumens with the lights on.
