NEC Solutions today introduced its highest-performance sub-five pound projector to date, the LT170. With a rugged new design and a weight of only 3.9 pounds, the new projector offers the durable portability mobile professionals need. At a bright 1500 ANSI lumens and XGA-native resolution, it provides the performance everyday meeting room users demand.
NEC's LT170 offers a resilient housing with a fresh design optimized for professional, on-the-go use. Its rubberized grip and narrow profile allow for more secure handling and enable the projector to be placed on its side for portrait display.
The LT170 is the easiest product in its class to use. The only product in its category to feature automatic keystone correction for instantly square images, it also features AutoSense one-touch setup and operation, color- coded inputs, and a user-friendly menu system that users can navigate quickly using the projector's unique rotary dial. The projector offers outstanding image quality for both computer and video sources, with a high contrast ratio of 1000:1 and VORTEX Technology Plus for accurate colors, excellent black levels and uniform images.
The LT170 incorporates a host of security features to deter theft, including a password protection option, a control panel lock function, and a security slot. The new projector's sealed optical unit reduces its vulnerability to smoke and dust. A recessed lens with built-in shutter enables greater lens protection during transportation and a recessed input panel protects the connectors from damage.
NEC's LT170 is backed by a three-year limited parts and labor warranty including one year of coverage by the company's industry-leading InstaCare program providing three business day repair and return or next business day replacement. According to Pacific Media Associates' 2002 Large-Screen Displays Reseller Survey, NEC ranked highest among all display manufacturers for product quality/reliability and warranty repair/return programs. In the survey, resellers rated product quality/reliability as the most important single attribute of a large-screen display manufacturer.
The LT170 is available now through NEC's nationwide network of channel partners. Its estimated street price is $1,795.
