NEC DISPLAY SOLUTIONS EXPANDS M SERIES

WITH TWO SHORT THROW MODELS

Short Throw Solution for Education, Small-to-Medium-Sized Businesses

Offers Expanded Input Panel, Virtually Maintenance-Free Operation

CHICAGO – March 9, 2011 – NEC Display Solutions of America, a leading provider of

commercial LCD display and projector solutions, announced today its M Short Throw

Series digital projectors with the 3000-lumen M300XS and M300WS. Accommodating

standard and widescreen needs, M Short Throw Series projectors deliver strong images

to screens and whiteboards (including interactive) from less than 3.6 feet away.

Ideal for standard-sized classrooms and corporate conference rooms with limited AV

space, the M300XS and M300WS short throw models are portable projectors that offer

unique features like a virtually maintenance-free filter and 0.47:1 throw ratio for easier

installation on a wall above the screen or whiteboard. Replacing the NP610S and

NP510WS projectors, the eco-conscious features in the M Short Throw Series include

ECO Mode™ technology for extended lamp life, quick start (3 to 4 seconds), auto power

on via the RGB input connector and direct power-off with no cooling required after

shutdown.

“The recently introduced M Series is receiving rave reviews from industry members, and

the addition of these two short throw models to the lineup will round out our portable

2

projector offering, making it accessible to a variety of our customer base,” said Rich

McPherson, Product Manager of projectors for NEC Display Solutions. “The M300XS

and M300WS bring educators what they need in the classroom to operate smoothly from

lesson to lesson, such as HDMI for high-definition video, variable audio-out to control

sound from an external speaker with the projector’s handheld remote control and the

ability to place the projector as close as 1.8 feet away from the screen.”
