In ViewSonic's new hybrid laser andLED Full HD Pro9000 projector, the LED light and lasers combine to create a single light source, resulting in vibrant and rich display colour that the firm says far exceeds that of a normal mercury light projector.
In addition to being environmentally friendly, this mercury-free technology also delivers a longer operation life of over 20,000 hours. Coupled with dual HDMI ports and its lamp-free design, the Pro9000 is ideal for home cinema environments and Pro-AV installations. The Pro9000 is expected to be available in Q3 2012.
"Laser hybrid illumination technology has changed the way that projectors are able to manipulate light and images. This new model is lamp-free for an even lower total cost of ownership. As a result, users get a higher quality picture and ultra high contrast ratio, making projectors with this technology ideal for home entertainment, professional audio-video, corporate or education use," saysRoger Chien, product manager for ViewSonic.
The Pro8300 professional 1080p commercial grade projector is suited tobusiness data projection. It incorporates ViewSonic's "BrilliantColorTechnology" with a powerful Pixelworks10-bit image processor for vivid colours, while its 1920x1080 native resolution, 3,000 ANSI lumens and a 4,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio produce razor sharp images that shine in virtually any ambient light environment. Paired with a wide 1.5X optical zoom adjustment for more than 36% additional zooming capability and integrated speakers, the Pro8300 delivers stunning audio and visual experience.
"Full HD resolution has become somewhat of a standard feature across consumer home and cinema entertainment projectors; however, finding hi-def capabilities in a quality yet affordable projector offering for businesses is far less common," continuesChien. "Our Pro8300 breaks tradition by bringing precise standalone 1080p projection to business owners and corporations at a price that's within reach for any company."
