DOVER, N.J., March 21, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Over the years, digital projection technology has changed a great deal to meet the needs of users, from better brightness to increased resolution and more features.

This valuable system comes standard with 2019 Casio LampFree Network models – including the new Superior Series as well as the 2019 Advanced and Ultra Short Throw models – saving IT Managers even more money because they can get a lot of the functionality of a stand-alone system provided at no additional cost with these new projectors.
