Ultra-short-throw home-theatre projector

The Mimio MimioProjector is a DLP home-theatre projector with an ultra-short-throw lens that produces a large image from a very short distance. It delivers a native 1280 x 800 resolution and accepts a 1080p HD signal for high-definition content. A brightness rating of 2800 lumens and a 3000:1 contrast ratio provide visible pictures in rooms with some ambient light. Built-in speakers add audio without external hardware.

Connectivity and interactive features

The unit includes HDMI Micro, VGA/SVGA D-Sub, S-Video, Mini USB and a headphone jack for varied source connections. An integrated IR camera enables interactive operation when paired with compatible software or pens. Projection modes cover ceiling, rear, table-top and tilted setups, while colour correction adjusts the image for different surfaces. These interfaces and modes determine which sources and mounting styles are practical.

Image capacity and limits

At 1280 x 800 native pixels the projector suits 720p and scaled 1080p material but cannot resolve full 1080p detail. The 2800-lumen output handles moderate ambient light yet will struggle in brightly lit rooms or on very large screens. Weighing 16.5 lbs, it requires a stable mount for ceiling or table-top use. Buyers needing native 1080p resolution or higher brightness for large venues should consider other models.

Questions about this item

How often will the DLP lamp need replacing at 2800 lumens brightness?

The DLP lamp typically lasts several thousand hours before dimming; exact hours depend on usage mode and environment.

Which limit appears first during long sessions — heat buildup or brightness drop?

Heat buildup triggers fan speed increases before any measurable brightness loss at 2800 lumens.

What fan noise and heat output should I expect when running all day?

The projector runs warm with audible fan noise; the 16.5 lb chassis helps dissipate heat during extended use.
