VIEWSONIC EXPANDS PRESENTATION OPTIONS WITH PERFORMANCE PROJECTOR UNDER $1,000
Projector Presents Brighter Images and Increased Connectivity for Business and Beyond
WALNUT, Calif., Oct. 9, 2006 — As its latest demonstration of its understanding of end-user needs, ViewSonic® Corp. announced a DLP® front-projector that is less than $1,000 and provides professionals with another high performance display that won't hurt the company's bottom-line. ViewSonic's PJ558D projector meets the latest customer demands for more versatile displays by featuring widescreen capabilities and 2,500 lumens of brightness that make the display optimum for viewing PowerPoint® presentations, spreadsheets and movies.
Weighing just 5.4 pounds, offering easy set-up, and supporting multiple computer and video inputs, the PJ558D is portable and perfect for an afternoon sales meeting or classroom presentation. A 2000:1 contrast ratio, 1024x768 resolution and ability to support widescreen content combine to provide clear, crisp and detailed viewing of business presentations and educational media, as well as watching the latest movies in wide formats.
"Our projectors, along with our other award-winning display product lines continue to evolve to ensure professionals and consumers alike can make the most out of work and play," said Jeff Volpe, vice president of marketing, ViewSonic Americas. "With the PJ558D, we have focused on customers' connectivity and versatility needs for anytime, anywhere use by providing a portable, fully-featured projector ideal for use in the classroom, at the office or even at home."
The projector offers sharp focus and comes complete with a one-touch setup button for fast, easy sync. Users can also take advantage of digital keystone correction to improve picture quality, while the projector's whisper-mode reduces noise and extends lamp life up to 3,000 hours. In addition, the PJ558D works well with the ViewSonic WPG-100 Wireless G Presentation Adapter to project data wirelessly from up to 250 feet, providing an effortless and cost-effective alternative for supporting business or educational presentations.
The PJ558D will be available through authorized ViewSonic professional audio-visual resellers, distributors and solution providers for an estimated street price of $999. The projector will be sold with ViewSonic's superior customer support program that includes a three-year limited product warranty, 24/7 technical support and one year of Express Exchange® service at no additional charge.
