Overview

Advanced LED light source technology
The PLED-W500 uses the latest solid state LED technology that is mercury-free and lamp-free offering an overall greener energy projector that is maintenance-free. Through its LED light source, the projector can last over 20,000 hours of usage while consuming less than half the power of typical LCD TV. That helps lower your total cost of ownership.


500 lumens of brightness
Using only ¼ the power of a traditional lamp-based projector, and with a 6000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, the PLED-W500 is the bright choice for the mobile professional or the home office user. Industry reports show that LED light sources generate a different frequency and wavelength from conventional lamps. This results in the human eye perceiving brightness from a LED light source to be approximately 2.5 times brighter than from a conventional lamp, meaning a 500 lumen LED projector is equivalent to a 1200 lumen lamp-based projector.

DLP® Pico chip technology
Advanced DLP® (Digital Light Processing) Pico chip technology allows you to experience crystal clear, razor-sharp and lifelike images with the same DLP® technology that Hollywood relies on. For fast action, the response time is 1,000 times faster than similar LCD based projectors. With no air filters to clean or change, the latest generation of DLP based projectors from ViewSonic offer the lowest TCO(total cost of ownership) in the industry.

720p HD resolution for widescreen brilliance
A wide format projector sporting a native 1280x800 (WXGA) resolution offers a tremendous degree of flexibility and compatibility. Whether you are connecting your widescreen notebook in a conference room, or watching the latest HD 720p / 1080p entertainment content in your living room, you are guaranteed a distortion free image with a matching aspect ratio.


Media on-the-go
The PLED-W500 is an on-the-go projector that displays content without a PC. The PC-less presentation feature allows you to project Microsoft® Office™ Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents, plus PDF files, photos and videos directly from a SD or USB flash drive. With 1GB internal media storage, the projector stores your content with ease for true mobility.



Wireless presentation ideal for mobile professionals
The PLED-W500 is integrated with the latest wireless technology that allows a mobile user to project content directly from their smart phones, tablets or laptops. With the optional WPD-100 WiFi adapter, a user can use the MobiShow™ App on their smart phones or tablets to send images wirelessly to the projector. The included MirrorOp™ client utility software allows the user to connect a laptop to the projector wirelessly and have complete control of the desktop screen for seemless presentations.


HDMI Advantage
Delivers the best high-definition video and audio quality without losing any degradation. It's perfect for connecting to any high definition home entertainment devices like Blu-ray® DVD players, HD gaming consoles and HD receivers.


Ultra portable compact design
Half the size of a traditional lamp-based projector and lightweight 2.6 pounds, it's small enough to fit in your suitcase. Making it the perfect companion for mobile professionals and on-the-go presenters.


Automatic vertical keystone for fast & easy setup
With built-in level sensor, automatic vertical keystone correction detects the input signal and adjusts the distorted image to have a perfect square shape.


3D-Ready / 120Hz refresh rate powered DLP® Link™ Technology
With support for TI’s DLP® Link™ technology, you’ll have amazing 3D capabilities at your disposal. The projector’s embedded emitter function means all that’s required to unlock 3D capabilities is a pair of DLP® Link™ compatible glasses, such as the optional ViewSonic PGD-250 active shutter glass kit*.

ECO mode saves money, power and green the planet
With only a slight 20% decrease in brightness, the ECO-mode function can extend the life of your LED light source by almost 50% and over 30,000 hours in some cases. Other benefits of ECO-mode operation include reduced power consumption, as well as less heat and audible noise output. It’s good for the environment and great for your budget. The ECO-mode function will definitely help lower your total cost of ownership (TCO).


Piece of mind with one of the best warranties in the business
Backed by our 20+ years reputation for quality and reliability, ViewSonic offers one of the industry’s best overall projector warranty with 3-year limited parts, labor and LED light source, plus 1st year complementary Express Exchange® service. Don’t be fooled by seemingly longer warranties out there in the market that exclude the more vulnerable systems and moving parts.
