Viewsonic has rolled out two sub-$700 LCD projectors with wired networking and the ability to project color corrected images on nonwhite surfaces.

Both projectors have red, blue, yellow, green, and blackboard video modes that can be manually selected to correct the color of content projected on some nonwhite surfaces. Additional video modes include standard, real, and dynamic.
RS-232 control, RJ-45 connectivity, password protection, and a Kensington lock slot are offered as standard features on both models.
AV inputs include two analog RGB/component (mini D-sub 15-pin), S-video, composite video, and stereo RCA jacks. AV outputs include analog RGB/component (mini D-sub 15-pin) and a stereo minijack.
Both projectors are covered by a 3-year limited parts and labor warranty, a 1-year express exchange warranty, and a 1-year limited lamp warranty.
