NEC Makes VT45 Ultraportable Projector More Affordable

July 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- NEC Solutions (America), Inc. today opened high-performance visual display technology up to more users with a price drop and end-user rebate on the VT45, the most affordable projector in NEC's award-winning VT Series of functional and versatile ultraportable projectors. The projector's new estimated street price is $1,549, and end-users buying the VT45 between July 1 and September 30 are eligible for an additional $150 end-user rebate for a total savings of 18% over the previous pricing.

"High prices have been a barrier for many users who would like to use projection technology for more effective and dynamic communication," said Bob Guentner, product manager for NEC Solutions America, Visual Systems Division. "Now, one of the most popular projectors in the industry is priced to break down the barrier for first-time buyers. The VT45 also provides a great value by offering NEC's industry-leading service and support and reliability along with features rarely seen in this price category, like NEC's exclusive VORTEX Technology Plus, manual lens shift, a projector/PC remote, and a monitor output."

The SVGA-resolution VT45 is bright enough at 1000 ANSI lumens for use in small to large meeting rooms, classrooms and conference rooms and is light enough at 5.6 lbs. for mobile professionals. With AutoSense Technology for automatic setup and one-touch adjustments, it is an excellent choice for first-time users looking to display PowerPoint presentations, videos, data and images to small- to medium-sized audiences.

The VT45 incorporates NEC's exclusive VORTEX Technology Plus, giving users the ability to easily fine-tune individual colors to their liking for the most natural, realistic colors and versatile image production available today. NEC's AccuBlend Intelligent Pixel Blending Technology allows for excellent native and non-native resolution display up to SXGA. The VT45 also comes equipped with manual lens shift, which simplifies setup by enabling users to adjust the location of the projected image horizontally and vertically without moving the projector. It additionally ships with a convenient carrying case.

In addition to the VT45, on July 8 NEC announced significant price reductions to much of its projector lineup, including several LT Series microportable projectors for business and mobile applications, VT Series ultraportable projectors for mobile or tabletop applications, and MT Series portable projectors for conference room applications.

Complete Service and Support Program
The VT45 is backed by two years of NEC's industry-leading warranty program. InstaCare provides projector repair and return within three business days or replacement the next business day. InstaCare Xpress is available should a replacement projector be needed on the next flight out (fees and airline restrictions may apply) and TravelCare provides either repair and return or a temporary loaner projector (at a nominal fee) outside a user's home country. According to Pacific Media Associates' 2001 Large Display Reseller Survey, NEC ranked highest among all display manufacturers for its warranty and repair/return programs, as well as for its end-user support and knowledgeable, responsive support persons.
