Optoma Introduces New Line of Lamp Free Projectors
New EcoBright Lamp-Free, Maintenance-Free Projectors Create A Windfall For “Power Users”
FREMONT, Calif. | March 7, 2012 | Once again flexing its future-now engineering expertise, Optoma, the best-selling brand of DLP projectors in the Americas, has introduced its all-new EcoBright line of lamp-free, maintenance-free projectors. Intended to meet the growing demand for increased reliability and low cost of ownership, both the EcoBright ZW210ST (WXGA resolution) and EcoBright ZX210ST (XGA resolution) embrace the new Solid State Illumination (SSI) technology that delivers increased life while eliminating the need for expensive replacement parts and service. The EcoBright ZW210ST will carry a cost of $1,499, while the EcoBright ZX210ST will sell for $1,399. Both projectors have a classroom-friendly short throw design.
Designed for heavy use in the most demanding environments, typically classrooms and boardrooms, the EcoBright ZW210ST and the EcoBright ZX210ST employ Optoma’s SSI technology that incorporates both LEDs and lasers to deliver high-lumen output and vibrant color reproduction, while reducing power consumption and waste. Both new Optoma short throw projectors deliver 2000 LED lumen brightness with a contrast ratio of 80,000:1. LED lumen brightness is not perceived the same as lamp-based brightness. LED displays a wider color palette, and LED-projected images produce vivid colors which often seem brighter. “Optoma has led the charge in lamp-free projection, and the EcoBright line represents Optoma’s fifth generation using lamp-free technologies,” said Jon Grodem, Optoma’s senior director of product and marketing, “We believe that the advantages are state-of-the-art performance, energy efficiency and unparalleled reliability, which make this the future of projection. And we’re proud to be leading the way.”
With Optoma’s SSI technology, users will experience no light degradation over the lifespan, so colors remain constant over the entire life of the projector. According to Grodem, the company’s experience and research resulted in the decision to use a hybrid engine for this line, using two LEDs and one laser. “We determined that this architecture Read the rest of this entry »
