Chicago, Ill.-based Sharp NEC Display Solutions, prominent in the projector and display markets, introduced P627UL and the P547UL, the next generation in its popular P Series line of entry-level installation laser projectors. Per the company, the ultra-quiet P627UL and the P547UL projectors offer an increase in brightness with 6,200-lumens and 5,400-lumens, respectively. Thus, they allow for clearer images in areas with higher ambient light conditions. These projectors are also ideal for corporate board rooms, higher education classrooms, museums, houses of worship, retail and restaurant settings.
Due to Sharp/NEC’s patented sealed cooling system, the P627UL is the quietest operating projector in the 6,000-lumen LCD laser category. The cooling system seals the critical optical components to prevent dust. With this, the system no longer requires a filter or as much air flow for cooling. This then reduces the need for fans. Fewer fans produce much less noise. This nearly silent operation thus opens new opportunities in quiet applications.
Features of P627UL and P547UL Laser Projectors
“The new P627UL and the P547UL increase the brightness of the previous generation by 200 lumens; while running at a decibel level between a whisper and the rustling of leaves in a tree at a distance,” says Ryan Pitterle, senior product manager, projectors at Sharp NEC Display Solutions. “Not only are they the quietest option in the entire category; but there are also no filters to change. And because they employ 20,000-hour lasers, there are no lamps to replace. This means there is no maintenance required during the product’s lifespan. Additionally, we’ve added manual horizontal and vertical lens shifts as well as HDBaseT input. [This] provides for more flexible installations. These are set-and-forget projectors that are designed to last.”
With the HDBaseT input, installations are also easier, the company notes. The input also provides the ability to run a single cable long distances for video, audio and control. New, more flexible options for installation locations are also possible with a broad 1.6x zoom lens and manual vertical and horizontal lens shift. Now, integrators can save time and money by avoiding obstructions or accounting for room design variations. Additionally, tilt-free and roll-free capabilities open new options for floor, ceiling and portrait projection.

The P627UL and the P547UL projectors are also compatible with ProAssist software support for network-based picture control and geometric correction capabilities. With this, they can create a clear image even if projected on a somewhat flat surface.
As with all Sharp/NEC’s laser projectors, the P627UL and the P547UL come with a 5-year warranty which includes InstaCare, Sharp/NEC’s replacement program. Also included is NaViSet Administrator 2 software, designed to provide remote administrative management and network-based control.
