18) Projektorreinigung.de
- on-location projector cleaning
Projector
cleaning - in order to make dust visible on LCD-projectors, the outer parts
of the glass slides need to be focused. Dust accumulating on the optical
parts of an LCD-projector can´t be avoided, not even with the help of an
integrated dust filter. Apart from the derogation of picture quality dust can
also damage mechanical projector components. This is why users should at
least pay attention to cleaning the dust filter regularly. Damage of
mechanical components caused by dust is generally not included in the
warranty and thus has to paid by the customer himself. AVP, a Duesseldorf
company, is offering on-location cleaning of all data- and video projectors. The
advantages are clear: up to 80% less damage and projector life span is
extended considerably.
