With upgrades to two of its popular laser projector models, NEC Display Solutions announces solutions that it says are even more suited for both corporate conferencing and higher education applications – the NEC Display P525WL and P525UL.
Calling the two new NEC Display laser projectors the only filter-free, no-maintenance LCD projectors on the market, NEC says both provide integrators with options for their customers that offer flexibility and affordability where high-quality images are needed.
- The P525WL replaces NEC’s P502WL-2.

NEC Display P525WL and P525UL: Fit for Corporate Conferencing
[related]Both new projectors offer specific appeal for corporate customers, says Ryan Pitterle, product manager, NEC Display Solutions.
“Corporate customers can utilize the new P525UL Series 4K compatibility,” he tells CI. “With higher resolution video needs becoming more commonplace it is important to have a display device that supports 4K.”
Pitterle adds in a press release that the new NEC Display laser projectors “deliver brilliant colors, and NEC’s original sealed optical technology introduces a significant advancement, eliminating the need for a filter in LCD-based projectors.”
As popular as the P502WL-2 and P502HL-2 models were, he adds in the press release, evolving needs dictated the upgrade.
“The P502WL-2 and P502HL-2 have been very successful, but we’ve seized the opportunity to combine LCD technology along with our unique cooling system to improve color performance for our customers — while maintaining the maintenance-free operation they want.”
As for the color quality that is increasingly in demand for corporate conferencing applications, the NEC Display P525WL and P525UL feature 5,200 center lumens.
Both provide clear, dynamic images in high-ambient light conditions, the company adds in the press release.
