NEC Display Solutions of America added the NP115 projector to its NP Value Series. Company officials said the new model would replace the NP110 to accompany the NP215, both designed for growing small-to-medium businesses and education environments.
NEC said the NP115 is ideal for mobile applications, such as classrooms with portable carts or conference rooms where ultra-affordable and lightweight units are needed. It features 2,500 lumens, a 2,000:1 contrast ratio, a 7-watt speaker, and built-in closed captioning. It is also 3D-Ready.
Its Eco Mode technology extends lamp life up to 5,000 hours and lowers power consumption to 0.49W in standby mode, according to the company. The NP115 includes automatic features such as quick start (3 to 4 seconds) and shutdown technology, which allows immediate use and power off functionality without the need for a cooling period.
“The NP Value Series combines both necessary and supplemental features into easy-to-transport models,” said Rich McPherson, product manager for projectors at NEC Display Solutions, in a statement. “Not only does the NP115 offer proper connectivity, essential features and enhanced hardware to display bright, concentrated images, it expands its application in educational settings with 3D-Ready capability.”
The native SVGA projector has Component, Composite, and S-Video inputs. Built-in wall color correction presets provide for adaptive color tone correction to display properly on non-white surfaces. It also includes a carbon savings meter that calculates the positive effects of operating the projector in Eco Mode, which is encouraged by an optional message at startup.
The NP115 begins shipping this month with an MSRP of $599 and a standard two-year parts and labor warranty. The lamp is covered for one year or 500 hours, whichever comes first.
