NEC Releases New NP-V300X DLP Projector

NEC has just announced the 3000-lumen NP-V300X, an XGA projector that is both very portable and very affordable. The NP-V300X also gives users the most essential features needed to show off presentations in classrooms or business meetings. The V300X is a part of the new V Series from NEC and is designed to provide you with higher brightness via a small mobile projector to accommodate large screens or higher ambient lighting conditions. The V300X also comes with a plethora of other features that can save you a ton of money. ECO mode technology allows the lamp in the projector to last up to 5000 hours and also allows you to run the device with lower audible noise. In addition to that, cost of ownership is also reduced. The unique power management capabilities of the V300X allows the projector to automatically turn off when an incoming signal is not detected from any other inputs. This model from NEC also offers quick start, auto power via the RGB input connector and direct power-off with absolutely no cooling required after shutdown. In addition to that, the V300X is completely filter-free which eliminates the hassle and time spent monitoring and changing filters. According to Product Manager for projectors at NEC Display Solutions Rich McPherson, "The lightweight V300X is ideal for users that require projection on-the-go, with sufficient features to quickly set up, easily present and swiftly shut down. This model is packed with powerful technologies that greatly increase functionality without a high price tag. From its Plug and Play setup and BrilliantColor technology to its built-in Creston Roomview Connected technology, the V300X is versatile and efficient for both classrooms and meeting rooms." Full features of the NEC V300X include:
