The MW821ST offers optimized lamp life of up to 6500 hours* - twice the lamp life expectancy of the average lamp - reducing lamp changes and keeping maintenance to a minimum.
*Lamp life results will vary depending on environmental conditions and usage.
An ultra-high contrast ratio projects sharp images, even for high brightness projectors. Get better contrast and blacker blacks with a 13000:1 contrast ratio.
When inactive, the MW821ST complies with 2013 EU standards by keeping power consumption to a minimum using less than 0.5 W on standby, extending lamp life and reducing energy costs.
Audio Pass ThroughAudio Pass Through allows users to engage the projector's speakers in standby mode - without wasting energy and preserving lamp life.

Research has shown a 46% increase in student engagement and a 34% increase in test scores with the use of DLP 3D projection. The MW821ST supports HDMI, designed to maximize your audiovisual enjoyment* with the capacity to pass two simultaneous 1080p signals with one connection.
* The 3D formats supported are 3D field-sequentials, 3D frame-packing, 3D top-and-bottom and 3D side-by-side.
Various 3D format supportedLAN Control is designed to help IT managers perform day-to-day projector maintenance and repair tasks efficiently and effectively – offering them full access and control over every projector directly from their workstations. The MW821ST offers seamless support for the Crestron and PJ-Link LAN Control system.
LAN Display offers a cost-effective solution for projector implementation management using a single LAN cable to control and display. This feature also offers simultaneous 4-1 or partial projection display option for better content management for discussions, presentations, training and classroom teaching.
The upper lamp door is a maintenance feature that allows IT managers to replace projector lamps safely and quickly, even if the projector is mounted upside down on the ceiling. Should the lamp go out during class, it can be replaced without delaying the lesson.
