NEC Display Solutions Adds Entry-Level Integration Projector to Product Line

Network-ready NP610 Offers Green Features, Virtual Remote Technology for Higher
Education, Corporate Customers
CHICAGO--(Business Wire)--
NEC Display Solutions of America, a leading stand-alone provider of commercial
LCD displays and projectors, announced today the NP610 entry-level installation
projector, designed specifically for those users who require incredible image
quality with advanced capabilities in a powerful yet affordable package. The
NP610 is geared particularly towards those users at the university level, as
well as corporate environments, for areas such as training rooms, lecture halls
and conference rooms.

With a brightness of 3500 lumens, the NP610 creates brilliant images in higher
ambient lighting conditions. With full connectivity (DVI-I, VGA, 3 audio inputs
and variable audio out), integration into classrooms is a breeze. The NP610
provides integrated RJ45 connection and remote diagnostics, which enable the
administrator to monitor and make adjustments to the projector via the network
from a remote location. Its virtual remote technology allows communication over
the VGA cable to control the projector directly from a computer, without the
need for additional control cables. These features save time for IT staff and
simplify the process of maintaining preferred settings.

Additionally, the NP610 allows users to maintain significant cost savings. The
projector`s filter requires less maintenance and provides up to three times the
existing filter life compared to previous NEC projector filters. The carbon
savings meter calculates the positive effects of operating in ECO Mode, which is
encouraged by an optional message upon the unit`s startup.

"The NP610 is an ideal entry-level installation projector that offers all the
features our customers need to succeed in connecting with their audience," said
Rich McPherson, Product Manager for projectors at NEC Display Solutions. "From
increased brightness and color-enhancing technologies to
environmentally-favorable specifications, this projector meets the standard
criteria required for integration projectors."

A partial list of features for the NP610 includes:

* Brightness of 3500 lumens
* Native resolution of 1024 x 768 XGA
* Contrast ratio of 500:1
* Low power consumption of 312W Normal / 237W ECO Mode / 0.6W Standby

* Built-in closed captioning, which enables decoding and text display from a

* Variable audio-out, where the remote control can be used to adjust the volume
of self-powered external speakers that are connected to the projector
* AutoSense, which intuitively syncs the projector with most computer signals
and features one-touch image optimization

image even when the projector is set up at a steep offset angle to the screen

The new NP610 will begin shipping in November 2009 with an estimated street
