Those NEC projectors we mentioned in yesterday’s posting were pretty well received, but not everyone is a fan of LCD technology. So to make sure everyone is happy, NEC introduced three portable DLP projectors today for those who like high contrasts and bright images. The three new projectors all share the same XGA (1024 x 768) 0.55″ DLP chip and 1500:1 contrast ratio but each varies in brightness and price. First up, the NEC NP40 gives off a brightness of 2200 ANSI lumens at a cost of $999.00 USD. The NEC NP50 is a tad brighter by 400 lumens and a tad more expensive by $200. Add 400 more lumens on top of that and another $100 and you’ll get the NEC NP60. Sure, they’re a little heavier on the wallet compared to yesterday’s NEC projectors, but they are brighter and have a much higher resolution than most of them, and they are at least lighter on your shoulder by almost half - weighing in at only 3.5 lbs. Sadly though, a lot of that missing weight comes from the missing connectivity. These three only come with the essential ports: RGB, S-Video, and Composite RCA. All three will be available sometime in December. In the meantime though, you can check a the side-by-side comparison of these three for all the extra details.
