Overview
The Roly RL-A500W is a 5,000 ANSI lumens WXGA laser projector built around genuine 3LCD imaging technology, sharing the same slim 420 x 100 x 280mm chassis as the rest of the RL-A series while stepping up to the highest brightness output in the line. Its compact, lightweight design is built for easy installation and portability, suiting classrooms, meeting rooms, and event spaces without compromising on image quality.
Because 3LCD technology delivers colour brightness equal to white brightness, the Roly RL-A500W produces natural, vivid images without the rainbow effect associated with single-chip projection. ROLY’s Chameleon Color Richness Technology extends this further, covering more than 70% of the NTSC standard colour gamut so on-screen colour closely matches what the eye actually sees.
At the heart of the Roly RL-A500W is a laser diode light source rated for up to 20,000 hours in Normal mode (25,000 hours in ECO mode), removing the cost and downtime of routine lamp replacement. The laser engine is also more energy-efficient than a conventional lamp, using over 30% less power than typical lamp-based projectors of similar output.
A dedicated Presentation Mode boosts black-and-white contrast for sharper, more legible text and charts in classroom and meeting settings, while the laser light engine is built for stable, uninterrupted 24/7 operation. Running in ECO mode also keeps operating noise down to as low as 28dB for quieter working and learning environments.
The Roly RL-A500W projects a 30″ to 300″ image from a throw distance of roughly 0.87m to 10.73m, with both vertical and horizontal keystone correction to simplify off-angle setups. Connectivity includes dual HDMI inputs, VGA in/out, RS-232C, dual USB-A, composite video, audio in/out, and a LAN port, making it straightforward to integrate into most existing AV setups. For buyers who need a lighter-duty option at a lower price point, the Roly RL-A400W offers the same 3LCD laser platform at 4,000 lumens.
Key Features
The World’s Lightest and Smallest Laser Projector
Compared to other brand models in the 4,000 to 5,000 lumen laser projector class, the Roly RL-A500W has a lightweight and simple, elegant design. It is more convenient to install or carry, suiting installation in a wide variety of environments.
3LCD Colour Technology
For 3LCD technology, colour brightness equals white brightness. There is no rainbow effect, and higher colour restoration capability produces more real and natural colour.
No Light-Source Replacement for 20,000 Hours
The laser light source has an ultra-long service life of 20,000 hours. With energy-saving and environmentally-friendly characteristics, it can save more than 30% of energy compared to general lamp-based projectors.
ROLY Chameleon Color Richness Technology
With over 70% of the NTSC standard colour gamut coverage, the Roly RL-A500W truly restores the natural colours seen by the human eye. The overall technology works like a chameleon, accurately and quickly displaying its own protective colour when affected by the environment.
Presentation Mode for Education and Meetings
To make up for the shortcomings of 3LCD technology, ROLY’s Presentation Mode provides high contrast in black and white to improve readability, so text and charts can be clearly and accurately presented.
24/7 Uninterrupted and Stable Operation
Breaking through the thermal limitations of conventional laser light sources, the whole machine remains stable under the condition of long-term, uninterrupted operation.
Low Operation Noise
Normal mode runs at just 35dB, dropping to only 28dB in ECO Mode, for quieter classrooms, meeting rooms, and event spaces.
