Ultra-short Throw Home Cinema Projector

The Dell S520 is a DLP projector designed for home theatre use with an ultra-short throw ratio. It produces a 1280 x 800 native image at 3100 ANSI lumens and an 8000:1 contrast ratio. Built-in speakers and multiple projection modes support ceiling, rear and table-top setups.

Suited for Bright-room Interactive Use

Buyers who want a compact projector for classrooms or living rooms with ambient light will benefit from the high ANSI brightness and interactive features. Connectivity includes HDMI 1.4a, VGA, USB, RJ-45 LAN and RS-232 for integration with Windows or iOS devices. Users requiring 4K resolution or a longer throw distance should look elsewhere.

3100 ANSI Lumens and WXGA Headroom

The 3100 ANSI lumen output comfortably handles lights-on viewing for movies, presentations and interactive lessons at 1280 x 800. Contrast of 8000:1 provides decent black levels in darkened rooms. The fixed native resolution limits detail for full-HD or 4K sources, and the ultra-short throw optic cannot be adjusted for far-placement installations.

Questions about this item

What video source do I need to connect to the HDMI 1.4a port for 1080p content?

Any device with an HDMI output — such as a Blu-ray player, streaming stick, or laptop — will send 1080p signals to the projector, which then scales them to the native 1280 x 800 resolution.

Can I keep using my older laptop that only has a VGA output?

Yes. The projector provides two VGA D-sub 15-pin inputs, so a standard VGA cable from the laptop will work without an adapter.

How can I verify the projector is delivering its rated 3100 ANSI lumens after installation?

Display a full-white test pattern in a darkened room and measure centre-screen illuminance with a calibrated light meter; the reading should be close to 3100 ANSI lumens.
