June 07, 2005
Chicago, IL - NEC Visual Systems Division, announced a complete line of new projectors. According to the company, these new projectors take the advanced performance of the previous line and enhance it with new features including increased brightness, longer lamp life, higher contrast and more.
Starting at $795 for the 1500 lumen V37 projector, NEC released several projectors that are designed with long lamp life and advanced remote control functions.
"Technology is advancing so rapidly in the display industry that NEC can now boost performance up to 50% every 12 to 18 months, without a significant increase in price," said David Woolf, senior director of marketing, NEC Solutions America. "The six new products we are showing at InfoComm reflect NEC's commitment to innovation and reinforce our high standards in product
development."
According to the company, the six new NEC projectors give the user more bang for their buck while still offering the award-winning quality and reliability that professional AV channels and consumers have come to expect. The VT, LT, and WT series have all been refreshed. The VT series is ideal for schools and businesses that want a projector that is bright, easy to operate, and fits within their
budget.
The newest products to the VT series, all with rapid startup and shutdown are:
-- VT37 -- NEC's most affordable projector at $795 estimated street price, this new product includes up to 4000 hour lamp life, 1500 lumens and an updated remote control.

This enables the user to project a 40-inch image from only 2-1/2 inches from the screen, and a 100-inch image from only 26 inches from the screen. This is specially designed for smaller rooms such as retail environments or conference/meeting rooms.
