  • PJ258D Merges Business and Entertainment

    "ViewSonic has designed an overhead projector that has an interesting twist. The ViewSonic PJ258D ViewDock functions the same way in which a conventional projector does. However, what makes the ViewDock special is that it has an integrated video dock that allows you to project video straight from your iPod.

    The ViewSonic ViewDock isn't just for work presentations. Having the freedom to use your iPod with a device that is often thought of as only a tool that you would use in the workplace opens up a whole new world of possibilities. The ViewDock allows you to watch movies and other videos without having to be connected to a PC. And you'll want to watch your favorite flick on this ingenious device, because the image quality is definitely not lacking. You can enjoy high quality images with the ViewDock's all digital clarity and 2,000 lumens. Lumens, in the case of a projector, is a measurement of brightness that comes from the device. With 2,000 lumens, you would clearly be able to see what is being projected even in bright ambient light." Full article
