Optoma Projector Tx542 Specifications

							Optoma’s TX542 is designed to meet the demanding 
requirements of school districts and businesses.  
Bright, high contrast images provide easy-to-read 
text, and the built-in closed captioning decoder 
displays text from videos that have closed captioning 
embedded in the signal.  Wired networking allows 
remote management and control of the projector, and 
a built-in 10-watt speaker system outputs volume 
required for larger audiences.  Optoma backs the 
TX542 with 3 years of Express Replacement Service 
and a one year lamp warranty to provide added 
peace of mind.
