ViewSonic Broadens DLP, LCD Projector Offerings

ViewSonic Corp. has announced the availability of two new projectors: the PJD6251 DLP for conference rooms or classrooms, and the PJL9371 LCD for larger venues, such as auditoriums.

The PJD6251 is a 120Hz/3D-ready DLP projector that emits 3,700 lumens with a 2,800:1 contrast ratio, says the company. RJ45 network management scheduling software allows for configuration and remote control when connected to a centralized network. According to the company, this management tool is also compatible with existing ViewSonic DLP projectors, such as the PJD6240.

The PJD6251 comes equipped with Composite, S-Video, HDMI, and VGA inputs and includes a VGA output port for connecting an external display or secondary projector for multiscreen viewing..

The PJL9371 LCD large-venue projector delivers 4,000 lumens with a 2,000:1 contrast ratio, the company says. It offers an Eco Mode, a 5,000-hour lamp life, and a hybrid filter design to increase energy savings, according to ViewSonic officials.

"Many studies show that 60 percent of people are visual learners and prefer information presented in pictures, charts, and graphs," said Jeff Volpe, vice president and general manager of ViewSonic North America, in a statement. "These two new projectors are designed with a focus on increasing both the brightness and contrast ratio to ensure the best possible visual experience whether in an office setting, classroom, or large auditorium."

Both the PJD6251 and PJ9371 projectors are currently available with estimated prices of $949 and $1,749, respectively.
