Some of the smaller and simpler projectors on the market can be set up by anyone. When it comes to the really large and high-end projectors, they often need professional installation to work correctly. Canon has unveiled its flagship installation projector for home theater and the thing has some great features.

The projector is called the XEED WUX4000 and it uses Canon's LCOS panel technology to deliver accurate colors and a resolution of 1920 x 1200. The projector packs in 4000 lumens of brightness and a contrast ratio of 1000:1. The aspect ratio of the projector is 16:10.

Canon offers three lens options for the projector with a standard zoom, long zoom, and a fixed focus wide-angle lens. The vertical and horizontal lens shift, zoom, and focus are all motorized and the connectivity options include HDMI and DVI. The WUX4000 will ship in April 2011 in Europe and pricing should be unveiled ahead of shipping.
