NEC has just recently announced an expansion to its new V Series of projectors with the 2600-lumens V260 and V260X, which are being touted as two very affordable mobile projector solutions set to join the V300X. These two new mobile projectors are ideal for small to medium-sized meeting rooms or even classrooms and are perfect for anybody looking for projectors with a bright image, DLP technology and eco-friendly features.
The V260 and V260X are SVGA and XGA models respectively and offer 2600 lumens giving you enough brightness to work in your average meeting room. Both projectors feature BrilliantColor technology. BrilliantColor technology uses advanced video processing as well as the latest Texas Instruments DLP engine in order to deliver more vibrant and realistic colors with richer blacks and a 2,000:1 contrast ratio for more detail. Both projectors also feature an input panel including dual VGA, HDMI and RJ45 inputs as well as an abundance of features that offer complete connectivity and control.
According to Senior Project Manager for Projectors at NEC Display Solutions Rich McPherson, “Designed with the environment in mind, the new V Series projectors offer multiple cost-saving features such as quick start (3 seconds), auto power on via the RGB input connector and direct power-off with no cooling required after shutdown. Additionally, the V260 and V260X offer a filter-free design that will eliminate the hassle and time spent monitoring and changing filters. This is an exceptional benefit to those locations that install a large quantity of projectors.”
Both the V260 and V260X include all the following features:
- 5000-hour lamp life (in ECO Mode)
- 3D capabilities
- Flexible input panel, color-coded and clearly labeled, connectability to PCs, Blu-ray players and other devices via VGA, HDMI, composite and S-Video

Both the V260 and V260X ship with a 2-year limited parts and labor warranty and will be available in June 2011. The V260 is expected to sell for $439 with the V260X expected to sell for $548. The lamp is covered for 1 year or 500 hours and education customers can receive an additional year on their warranty. Star Student customers can receive an additional two years.
