NEC Display Solutions of America, a leading provider of commercial LCD display and projector solutions, announced today four new digital projectors in its M Series, the 2,800-lumen M282X, 3,200-lumen M322X, the 3,200-lumen M322W and 4,000-lumen M402X models.

Using the latest DLP® technology from Texas Instruments, the M Series portable projectors deliver high contrast images (10,000:1) and filter-free maintenance. The M Series also includes eco-conscious features like ECO Mode™, which increases lamp life up to 10,000 hours, while lowering power consumption, as well as quick start (3 to 4 seconds) and auto power-on via the RGB input connector.  Remote diagnostics enable the user to monitor and make adjustments to the projectors from afar. The M Series portable projectors also boast the ability to transmit images from computers, tablets and smart phones using DisplayNote and NEC’s own Wireless Image Utility.

“The new portable projectors give educators and businesspeople powerful tools to achieve their organizational objectives,” said Rich McPherson, Senior Product Manager of projectors for NEC Display Solutions. “The Plug and Play intuitive setup, easy operation and bright images provide a hassle free setup that results in superb image quality so audiences can focus on the material being presented.”

The M282X, M322X, M322W and M402X digital projectors include the following features:

• XGA and WXGA resolutions
• DLP engine, featuring BrilliantColor™ Technology

• Carbon savings meter, which calculates the positive effects of operating the projectors in ECO Mode

• Lamp life up to 10,000 hours in ECO Mode

• Variable audio-out, which allows the remote control to adjust the volume of self-powered external speakers connected to the projectors
