Single-DLP Chip Projector Has Color Levels To Compete with LCD
A single-DLP chip projector new to the market could have the same color levels as traditional LCD projectors and, because maintenance requirements are so minimal, could last longer than many other projectors on the market.
NEC Display Solutions of America representatives say the internal processing
capabilities
of its new M402H projector will be especially helpful in
classrooms where
color-critical applications are important.

At
the
same time, the full HD projector has a lamp with a lifetime of up to
8,000
hours and a sealed optical engine that will prevent dust from gathering
on the
panel.
"The
color
enhancement mode creates a large color space not traditionally found
with
DLP projects, a huge benefit to people who need to be keenly aware of
color,"
said Richard McPherson, senior product manager of projectors at NEC
Display.
McPherson
also
pointed to the capability for the user to use horizontal and vertical
keystone corrections to square up images when the projector is set up at
an
angle to the screen.
Along
with
connecting to computers and other video equipment through standard
connections,
the M402H also can connect to tablets and other mobile devices. In fact,
its
built-in access point removes the need for a laptop completely if
students and
teachers want to present and share content across mobile devices.
Other
features
of the M402H:
- Native
resolution
of 1,920 X 1,080;
- 10,000:1
contrast
ratio;
- USB
input;
- Dual
connector
inputs (HDMI with HDCP);
- HDMI
3D via
blu-ray;
- 20w
speakers
and microphone input;
- Ambient
light
sensor;
- Remote
control
with one-touch source changes; and
- Automatic
turn-off.
The
projectors,
available now, are priced at $1,199 and come with a 3-year limited
warranty. The warranty on the lamps is for one year or 500 hours,
whichever
comes first.
