ViewSonic announced a Full HD 1080p DLP projector with 3,000 ANSI lumens and 15,000:1 contrast ratio for under $700. The new PJD7820HD projector is packed with features including 3D Blu-ray ready capability, the latest HDMI connection, multiple PC and video input options (dual VGA, composite, S-video, RS232, VGA/audio out), 1.3x optical zoom, vertical keystone correction and an integrated speaker. Designed as a business office projector, the PJD7820HD is perfect for displaying graphic intensive applications, CAD engineering drawings or high-def multimedia files. Plus, the versatile PJD7820HD can also be used for watching Blu-ray movies. Add in a filter-less design and a DynamicEco “standby” energy-saving mode reducing brightness down to 30 percent when the projector is not in use, the PJD7820HD delivers enhanced product reliability and virtually zero maintenance.

ViewSonic’s PJD7820HD projector with BrilliantColor technology features multi-color processing to produce stunning, vibrant colors.

With multi-color processing, colors are richer and more vibrant with exquisite and precise detail. In addition, ViewSonic claims 6000 hours of lamp life.
“Our new PJD7820HD offers best in class price-performance for a Full HD 1080p DLP projector on the market today, making it the ideal crossover model for both SMBs and home office consumer use,” said Roger Chien, product manager for ViewSonic.
