The ASK Proxima M2+ is a LED-DLP projector offering 1400 ANSI lumens, a contrast of 1100:1 and a resolution of XGA 1024 x 768. According to ASK Proxima, the lamp has a durability of 3000 hours. Regarding projection size, the value of 1400 ANSI lumens allows for an image width of up to 326 cm in darkened environments. In rooms with ambient light, the image width should be correspondingly reduced to a maximum of 217 cm. Since entering the market in 2004, production has been discontinued; the manufacturer no longer actively offers the model. As an archive device, the projector remains highly relevant in our database.

We have been using the M2+ for years as a loan projector for presentations here and there.
For PowerPoint presentations with large-format font sizes and diagrams, it is quite ok.
However, it has immense weaknesses in edge sharpness and its brightness is only acceptable. It is completely unsuitable for displaying normal documents with font sizes 10 or 11. In my opinion, the noise level is also too high in small rooms - and this is probably where it is mainly used - and becomes annoying after a while.
The central front foot is wobbly and difficult to adjust and the zoom wheel is not exactly ergonomically positioned.
