NEC Display Solutions of America, Inc. recently announced the release of four new projectors — P474W, P554W, P474U and P554U — to replace its P Series projector models.

“Our new line of P Series models enable easier, more flexible and less costly installations,” said Ryan Pitterle, product manager for projectors at NEC Display Solutions, in a company press release. “Advanced projection technologies, including HDBaseT and lens shift, simplify installations, while improved brightness and contrast provide impressive images over 100 inches diagonal.”

Aimed at higher education, corporate and rental users, the P Series “is a line of entry-level, professional installation projectors that provide versatility at a cost-effective price,” according the NEC announcement. The four new models feature either WXGA or WUXGA resolutions and range from 4700 lumens to 5500 lumens, according to the press release.

Here’s more about the NEC Display P Series projector line:

Key improvements over prior P Series models include horizontal and vertical lens shift, an all-in-one HDBaseT connection ensuring the efficient transmission of high-definition video and audio over long distances and eliminating cable clutter and a new lamp with longer life (up to 8,000 hours) to reduce maintenance costs. The extended lamp life, along with a lower-priced replacement lamp, provide a 40 percent lower total cost of ownership, compared to previous P Series models over a five-year period.
