This article is brought to you by Retail Technology Review: Mitsubishi presents its latest model widescreen portable projector.

Mitsubishi Electrics Visual Information Systems division, a world leader in the design and manufacture of high quality, presentation and display products has introduced the new WD510U, an WXGA resolution (1280 x 800 pixels) projector, that utilises the latest DLP technology. 

The new WD510U strengthens Mitsubishis XD500 series that also includes SVGA, XGA and wireless options. The WD510U a widescreen projector boasts 2600 ANSI lumens of brightness a contrast of 2000:1 and up to 4000 hours of lamp life.

Introduced to meet the increase in a shift towards wider PC screens and built with up to 1.3 times the display area of a conventional XGA projector the WD510U is an ideal portable widescreen solution.

Benefiting from enhanced security features such as a password lock and reinforced anchor bars, the WD510U is ideal for meeting rooms and classrooms where it may be left unattended and in addition, a top-access lamp cover provides easy lamp replacement, even when ceiling mounted.

The instant shutdown feature allows users to quickly power down the unit after a presentation without causing damage to the projector or lamp. In addition, the filter free design helps reduce the risk of dirt or dust particles entering the projector.

The colour wall support function enables users to choose from a variety of surface colours (beige, blue, green, pink, blackboard or the new whiteboard setting) enabling the projector to automatically make adjustments to its output settings to create the best images in accordance to the chosen background.

To further enhance the colour projected, Mitsubishi Electric has developed a 6-segment colour wheel (R,G,B,W,Y,C) to display a wider colour spectrum. Instead of the usual red, green, blue and white, additional colours yellow and cyan have been added to reinforce the colour range, designed to suit an array of applications.

Fraser McDonald, UK Sales Manager, said We have been one of the leading manufacturers of widescreen projectors available for some time, and with the increase in wide format PCs and laptops it is imperative that we offer a cost effective solution, hence the WD510U.

Pricing and Warranty:

The WD510U retails at 746 + VAT and comes with a three year loan replacement warranty.
