NEC Display Solutions of America, Inc., a leading provider of innovative LCD flat panel displays, professional grade plasmas and projectors, and integrated display solutions, today introduced a new 3,000-lumen projector targeted mainly to the education market. The portable VT700 digital projector boasts a 1024 x 768 native resolution (XGA) with automatic keystone correction, quick start-up and shut-down, connectivity flexibility, including DVI-I input, five-watt speaker and a three-year limited warranty.
The VT700 is an extension of the NEC VT Series of projectors and is being displayed for the first time at InfoComm, the professional audio-visual industry’s leading trade show, (NEC Display Booth No. 4609) on June 19-21, 2007, at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, Calif.
“NEC researched projector requirements for users in the fields of education and business, and found that top concerns include image quality/brightness, connectivity, affordability, and reliability. The VT700 was designed to exceed all of these end-user expectations,” said Bob Guentner, Product Manager, Projectors at NEC Display Solutions. “The VT700 is an easy-to-use, affordable projector with high brightness so images can easily be viewed – even in rooms with high-ambient lighting conditions. The high brightness accommodates most applications, including classrooms, conference facilities and meeting rooms.”
The VT700’s wall-color correction technology enables accurate colors to be projected onto whiteboards, blackboards and colored walls. Automatic vertical keystone correction instantly projects a square image even when the model is set up at a steep offset angle to the screen.
The projector also includes plug-and-play setup and operation, versatile color-coded
connections and Autosense™, which automatically synchronizes the projector
with computer signals. The VT700 comes with enhanced connectivity. Its flexible
input panel accommodates a wide range of computers and video sources, including
DVI-I.
Along with a powerful five-watt speaker, the VT700 includes variable audio-out,
which enables the remote control to adjust the volume of self-powered external
speakers connected to the projector. The VT700 also incorporates a number
of built-in methods to extend the life of the projector and decrease its
total cost of ownership. NEC’s Eco-Mode™ Technology increases
lamp life by up to 50 percent (The VT700 has a lamp life of up to 3,000 hours.)
Availability and Warranty
The VT700 projector will begin shipping in August. The projector comes standard
with a three-year limited warranty, including the first year with InstaCare™ (repair
and return in three business days or next business day exchange). For more
