Dell S500 Ultra Short Throw projector. And get a low total cost of ownership with easy installation options, easy maintenance, and

Get close to the action

Have small rooms? The S500 is an ideal projector for rooms with limited space. Because it’s an ultra short throw projector, you can
position it as close as 12” (0.30m) away from the surface and still get up to an approximate 100” (2.5m) diagonal image. Wall mounts
are unobtrusive, and with the projector so close to the wall, distracting shadows are a thing of the past.
