Anthem LTX-500 LCoS Projector and SI Black Diamond II Screen

The LTX-500 is a very compact and efficient design. The overall size and weight is a bit less than other LCoS models. The lens is offset to the left as you look at the front of the projector and is protected by a motorized door. The door opens and closes automatically on power on and power off. The case is finished in a high-gloss black with just a hint of metal flake. Ventilation is handled by a small intake in the front and an exhaust at the side. There is a cleanable and replaceable filter on the left side. The ventilation system has internal baffles which reduce fan noise to a whisper. The LTX is among the quietest projectors I’ve ever encountered. The red striping on the top and side adds a bit of flair that I found attractive. Overall the design strikes a nice balance between style and function.
The LTX has four independently adjustable feet. This makes it easy to get the geometry just right when shelf mounting as I did. The projector weighs just under 25 pounds so you won’t need a particularly beefy ceiling mount if you choose to go that route. There are controls on the top of the unit for Power, Input, Hide (image blanking) and menu navigation. There are also three status lights for power, lamp and system warning. The input jack panel is on the right side at the bottom.
