IBM projector. All IBM projectors are 
optimized to work with ThinkPad 
notebook computers—so you can 
present with confidence.
A quick star t
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 all IBM projectors can last 
up to 3000 hours.*
A sigh of relief
Rest easy with a 3-year limited 
warranty1 on your projector from IBM 
as well as a 3-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 can be 
shipped to you quickly and easily.

Zoom lens
An integrated lens lets 
you zoom and focus easily. 
You can even zoom and pan 
without walking across the 
room to get to the projector 
using your remote control.
Leveling feet
Located on all three 
projectors, this feature, 
along with elevator 
functionality, helps keep 
your projector steady on 
uneven or cluttered 
surfaces as well as helps 
you position the projector 
image 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) and a 50% reduction in 
size and requires barely more desk space 
than a standard sheet of paper, this 
projector provides portability to share 
throughout your department. Your staff 
will appreciate exceptional brightness with 
2650 lumens as well as XGA (1024x768) 
maximum resolution.
You can also enjoy time savings and 
convenience with remote asset management. 
The C400 makes it possible to manage your 
projector remotely over your network. Simply 
connect your projector to your network with an 
RJ-45 cable, and you will be able to access 
and manage your projector through any PC on 
your network via a Web browser. The projector 
can even automatically trigger an e-mail to 
your projector administrator to proactively 
alert them to any problems. And unlike 
projector manufacturers who charge extra 
for remote management software, IBM offers 
this feature as a standard on the C400.

* Lamp Life is a measure of brightness degradation only, and is not a specification for the time it takes a lamp to fail and cease light output.  Lamp Life is defined as the time it takes for more than 50% of a lamp sample population to have brightness decrease by approximately 50% of the rated lumens for the specified lamp. For example, if the defined life of your lamp is 2000 hours and its brightness is rated at 1100 lumens, then there is a 50% chance that over 2000 hours of run time, your lamp will have decreased its brightness by 50% to approximately 550 lumens.

Keep a spare projector lamp on hand.
Though IBM projector lamps are designed to last up to 2000 hours*, it never hurts to have added peace of mind. IBM offers spare projector 
lamps so you can have an extra ready when (and if) you need it. We even keep 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.
