Building on seven years of success, the updated Christie M Series models continue to be ideal for flat or curved screens in rental staging applications as well as large auditoriums, board and conference rooms, houses of worship, and post production in either single or multiple projector setups. All enhanced Christie M Series 3DLP® projectors? are 3D upgradable and deliver clean, crisp images on large screens.
