NEC’s Affordable V300W Projector

NEC V300WNEC has a new affordable projector that is specifically designed for use in classrooms and small business meetings. The device itself is small and compact and it is also lightweight allowing it to be easily placed in a small meeting room or classroom.

The V300W, as it is named, is the latest addition to NEC’s V Series of multimedia projectors. The V300W has a brightness output of 3,000 lumens, which allows the projector to function extremely well in brightly lit rooms or rooms with screens that are slightly larger than normal.

The V300W also comes with an Eco Mode setting which allows you to have a 5,000-hour lamp life. This is good because high lumen outputs, like 3,000, often cause projector lamps to burn out more quickly. However, with Eco Mode enabled, you will be able to enjoy the benefits of your V300W longer keeping long-term costs to a minimum.

According to Rich McPherson, Senior Product Manager for Projectors at NEC, “The V300W is the ideal solution for small-to-medium meeting rooms and classrooms that require high brightness at an affordable price.”

Users of the V300W will be able to benefit from a wide range of connection options including HDMI, monitor out and dual analog RGB inputs. In addition to that, an optional variable audio out port is also available for use with an external speaker system.

If that wasn’t enough for you, this projector also comes with 3D capabilities, enabled by the latest DPL Link technology from Texas Instruments. According to NEC, this will increase interactivity between students and teachers in education settings.

So, if you are in need for a standard, compact projector with a high lumen output and 3D capabilities and you don’t have a lot of money to blow on one, you should definitely check out the V300W from NEC.

NEC’s New V300X is Perfect for Classrooms and Meeting Rooms Alike

NEC NP-V300XNEC Display Solutions of America has just released a brand new affordable XGA projector specifically designed with the classroom and the meeting room in mind.

Known as the V300X, which is a part of NEC’s new V Series, this projector is a small, mobile projector that is able to accommodate larger screen sizes and, due to the projector’s 3,000 lumens brightness, is also able to accommodate rooms with a lot of ambient light without sacrificing picture quality or brightness.

The lamp life of the V300X is said to be up to 5,000 hours in “eco mode”. Eco Mode reduces the energy drain on your bulb and also reduces the noise levels so you don’t have a loud, obnoxious fan interrupting your meeting or class. The V300X also automatically switches itself off if it does not detect any incoming signal from any of its inputs.

In addition to conserving energy, the V300X is also designed to save you time. The V300X has a three second quick start function as well as direct power off with no cool-down required. This allows users to pack up and go as soon as they finish with their classroom session or meeting presentation. Plus, the V300X is filter-free so there is absolutely no need to waste your time monitoring or changing filters.

According to Rick McPherson, Product Manager for Projectors at NEC, “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.”

The V300X comes with a lot of powerful technologies that greatly increase functionality without breaking the bank. The Plug and Play setup as well as the BrilliantColor technology are perfect for classroom or meeting room settings and the built-in Crestron Roomview Connected technology is just an added bonus. This is definitely one projector you will want to look into if you need a new device for your meeting room or classroom.
