The integration of flexible installation options is another highlight of these projectors. They support up to 10-point digital keystone correction, making setup simple and adaptable to various room configurations. This flexibility ensures that no matter the space, users can achieve a perfectly aligned and geometrically accurate image.

Runco has also designed the VX-55D and VX-44D with user-friendly interfaces, including intuitive remote controls and on-screen menus. Both projectors come equipped with multiple HDMI inputs, allowing users to connect various devices seamlessly. Additionally, they support 3D content playback, a feature that has become increasingly important for enhancing the cinematic experience.
