ViewSonic adds new mini projector for road warriors

- Gary Thayer, Editor

June 20, 2005 -- (MobileVillage) -- ViewSonic has added a new mini projector for mobile professionals. The PJ256D is a 2.2-pound DLP projector that the company says is the first micro-portable projector that offers 1,500 lumens of brightness.

With an estimated street price of US $1,499, the PJ256D comes in a lightweight, mobile form factor that can be transported easily. The projector's multiple connectivity options include PCs and DVD players to extend the usage scenarios for the PJ256D, making it practical for viewing presentations in the boardroom or movies in the living room. The display's setup automatically syncs the input source, which is ideal for mobile professionals.

The PJ256D boasts a high 1024 x 768 XGA resolution and 2000:1 contrast ratio, while a remote control with built-in mouse capabilities and a laser pointer allows presenters to highlight points without interruption. Video features include integrated motion adaptive, progressive scan and 3:2 pull down to deliver video with fewer artifacts. An optical zoom lens allows users to change the screen size with the lens ring, and the whisper mode reduces noise output and extends the lamp life up to 4,000 hours.

The PJ256D is sold with ViewSonic's customer support program that includes a one-year limited projector lamp warranty, a three-year limited product warranty and one-year Express Exchange service, along with 24/7 technical support, excluding major U.S. holidays.

Available in July, the projector can be purchased through authorized ViewSonic distributors and solution providers, as well as through the professional audio-visual channel and mail order.
