This versatility allows users to connect multiple devices, such as Blu-ray players, gaming consoles, and streaming devices, without the hassle of constantly changing cables. The inclusion of analog audio inputs and outputs ensures compatibility with a variety of sound systems, enhancing the overall home entertainment experience.

In terms of installation, the V120 offers both vertical and horizontal lens shift capabilities, along with zoom functionality. This flexibility makes it easier to achieve the perfect image alignment, regardless of your room's setup.
