Two New Models Help Meet Budget Challenges Without Sacrificing Performance
FREMONT, Calif. | May 29, 2012 |
Making high-brightness and lower power consumption more affordable for budget-minded schools and corporations,
Optoma, the best-selling brand of DLP projectors in the Americas, has introduced the
TW631-3D and TX631-3D, two new 3500 ANSI lumen projectors with
Eco+, a suite of features that reduces power consumption by up to 23 percent, while increasing lamp life by up to 42 percent. Available now, the WXGA resolution TW631-3D carries a price tag of $749, while the XGA TX631-3D is available for $649.

According to Jon Grodem, Optoma’s senior director of product and marketing, both projectors feature Optoma’s newly-introduced
Eco+ mode, which evaluates the brightness level of the content and dynamically reduces the lamp intensity to match the scene. The result is great looking content with superb black levels, substantially reduced power
consumption and a reduced carbon footprint, all while increasing lamp life. Another energy saving improvement of the Eco+ suite is an update to the familiar
AV Mute feature. Traditionally, when selected, AV Mute would simply blank/mute the projected image while the lamp continued to burn at full intensity. With the new Eco+ AV Mute, lamp intensity is reduced by up to 30%, thereby reducing power consumption by up to 70% with the additional benefit of prolonged lamp life. The TW631-3D and TX631-3D also incorporate
Quick Resume, a time and energy saving feature that enables the projector to be restarted instantly after it has been powered off.
Both projectors are 3D-PC ready, feature a 7-watt speaker system, and provide a full complement of I/O ports, including HDMI 1.3, two VGA-in, VGA-out, composite video, audio-in, audio-out, RS232 and mini USB to ensure that users will always be able to connect to a broad range of source devices. An RJ45 port is also included, along with Crestron RoomView® to facilitate streamlined IT administration with advanced network command and control features. And a built-in closed captioning decoder displays text from videos that have closed captioning embedded in the signal without requiring additional components. Both the TW631-3D and the TX631-3D also offer
wireless capabilities via an accessory VGA WiFi dongle. A top-loading lamp design simplifies lamp replacement, saving time and money.
At less than 5 lbs, both new projectors are easily transported wherever you need them, and the included padded carrying case offers all the protection you’ll need. A full-featured IR remote with mouse and laser pointer is also included as standard equipment, and both projectors come with Optoma’s 3-Year Express Replacement Service warranty, with the lamp covered for 1 year.
