the industry.
A great team
For powerful presentations that leave
a lasting impression, pair your
IBM ThinkPad notebook with an
IBM projector. All IBM projectors are
optimised to work with ThinkPad
notebook computers – so you can
present with confidence.
A quick start
IBM projectors help you start your
presentations quickly with auto-
sensing technology. These projectors
are specially designed to pick up
video signals from IBM ThinkPad
notebooks almost immediately. So
you can avoid awkward pauses,
heavy sighs and impatient
finger-tapping – and make a great
first impression.
A lasting light
IBM projectors give you high-quality,
bright presentations and lamps that
last. Superb brightness and contrast
are necessary attributes of great
images. IBM projectors give you as
many as 2650 lumens for maximum
impact. And the high-quality lamps
used in IBM projectors can last up to
3000 hours.4
A sigh of relief
Rest easy with a three-year limited
warranty1 on your projector as well as
a three-month limited warranty on the
lamp. You’ll also enjoy access to IBM
worldwide2 service and support. Our
long lamp life and industry-leading
warranty and service combine to
deliver exceptional total cost of
ownership. With other projectors, you
could pay extra to get the service and
support that come standard with IBM.
For example, if an IBM projector under
warranty needs a warranty-related
repair, a replacement projector will be
shipped to you quickly and easily.

IBM E400 projector
IBM E400 Projector – an entry-level
projector with enhanced value
Boasting one of the lowest weights
among entry-level projectors, the
IBM E400 projector is easy to carry
between home and office. Take
advantage of professional
presentation capabilities for the office
and for business travel – as well as
HDTV and DVD compatibility at home.
Travelling is convenient with an
included carrying case and remote
control with integrated laser pointer.
Control panel features on the IBM E400 projector
The E400 projector gives you an
affordable way to project a
professional image. Digital Light
Processing (DLP) technology helps
achieve the high-quality images and
brightness that professional
presentations and home users
demand.
IBM M400 Projector – an extra-light,
extra-small, microportable projector
Designed with the needs of the
business traveller in mind, the
IBM M400 projector features a
footprint about half the size of a sheet
of office paper and weighs just
1.1 kilograms (2.4 pounds) – making it
the ideal solution for presentations on
the go. And the convenient carrying
case included with the projector
accomodates all cables and
accessories for hassle-free travel.
IBM M400 projector
Control panel features on the IBM M400 projector
Using DLP technology, the M400
projector features bright images (1100
lumens) with a high image contrast
ratio, making it an ideal solution for
projecting video, presentations and
spreadsheets. Native XGA resolution
(1024x768) and bright, long-lasting
lamps give you superb image quality.

Integrated lens controls let
you zoom and focus easily.
You can also zoom and pan
using the remote control.
Levelling/elevator feet
Keep the projector steady
on uneven or cluttered
surfaces and help position

perfectly.
IBM C400 Projector – an ideal
conference room projector
Move easily from one office to another
or from boardroom to conference
room with a lightweight, compact
projector that doesn’t skimp on
features. At only 3.1 kilograms
(6.8 pounds), this projector is
portable enough for sharing
throughout your department. Your
staff will appreciate exceptional
brightness with 2650 lumens as well
as XGA (1024x768) native resolution.
After connecting the C400 to your
network with an RJ-45 cable, you can
access and manage it from any PC on
the network via a Web browser. The
C400 can even send an e-mail to your
projector administrator to proactively
warn of any problems. And unlike
projector manufacturers who charge
extra for remote management
software, IBM offers this feature as a
standard on the C400.

Keep a spare projector lamp available
Though IBM projector lamps are designed to last 1500 hours4 or more, it never hurts to have added peace of mind. IBM keeps most projector
lamps in stock for up to three years after the projector model has been withdrawn from the market – helping protect your investment for years
to come.

1 Limited warranty: Support unrelated to a
warranty issue may be subject to additional
charges. Lamps are covered by a separate
90-day limited warranty.
2 International Warranty Service: is available in
any country in which this product is sold and
serviced. Service delivery methods and parts
availability vary by country, may be different
from that in the country of purchase, and are
subject to change without notice. Fees and
restrictions may apply in some countries.
3 DLP-based projectors: A 2002 study by
the Munsell Color Science Laboratory
(MCSL) at Rochester Institute of Technology
compared the picture reliability of DLP-based
projectors to that of TFT-based projectors.
The initial test results, recently announced
by Texas Instruments, who commissioned
the study, assert that DLP-based projectors
demonstrated superior picture reliability
over the test period (4,000 hours) while
the LCD-based projectors suffered optical
degradation that was catastrophic. See ‘DMD
Field Reliability: A Comparison of Competing
Technologies used in Data Projectors,’ by
Michael R. Douglass and Rick W. McCall.
4 Lamp life: is used here as a measure of
brightness degradation only – it does not
indicate the time it takes a lamp to fail. It is
defined as the average time it takes for more
than 50 percent of a sample lamp population
to decrease in brightness by approximately 50
percent of the rated lumens.
