NEC announced today the M260X Portable Series LCD projector which replaces the NP410 model.
The NEC M260X is a value-driven, eco-friendly portable projector ideal for education and small-to-medium-sized business environments. This 2600-lumen model delivers remarkably bright images and features wired and wireless (optional) networking, HDMI and USB inputs, high contrast, and up to 6000 hours of lamp life (in ECO Mode). It was designed with the environment in mind with a carbon savings meter, extended lamp and filter life, and energy-saving features such as quick startup and direct power off. Whether in the classroom or boardroom, the M260X's multitude of advanced technologies allows you to start up in seconds, connect with your audience and shut down with ease.
