The Matinee 1HD is user friendly from the moment it is taken out of the box. A short throw lens allows projection on a large screen even in a small room. The Picture Image Select Function allows you to choose from Standard, Cinema/Real, and Image settings optimized for different video mediums. And during installation the image it is easy to perfectly align on the screen with the horizontal and vertical power lens shift.

The Matinee 1HD believes in being seen and not heard. It is one of the quietest projectors available with a whisper mode of only 28 dB of audible noise, guaranteeing the hum of the fan will never interfere with dialogue.
