The Model 40’s 950 ANSI lumens of light output and 1600:1 contrast ratio make it a superb choice for home theaters with recommended screen requirements all the way up to 96 inches wide. The internal video processing with 3:2 film detection circuitry and full HDTV compatibility (with outboard tuner/decoder or satellite receiver) make the Model 40 capable of projecting any video source with stunning results.

The Model 40’s multiple aspect ratio control includes Vidikron’s IntelliWide™ mode, offering the ability to view standard video formats in widescreen without loss of image quality. Advanced digital keystone correction and discrete IR or RS-232 control facilitate custom installations seamlessly, while discrete source and aspect ratio selection accommodate automation control systems.

The Vision Model 40 offers a variable throw distance of 1.38:1 to 1.63:1, while an optional lens provides a longer variable throw distance of 1.83:1 to 2.40:1. Both lenses feature a ‘cat’s eye’ optical system that enhances contrast and optimizes black level performance. In addition, a unique 9-point white balance system accounts for superb gray scale tracking, enabling the Model 40 to offer stellar images with crisp detail and deeply saturated colors.

The high performance Model 40 offers all of the quality expected of a Vidikron product, packaged in an aesthetically pleasing chassis with a very modest footprint.
