NEC now offering 2 projector replacement models with LCD technology

December 11, 2018

NEC Display Solutions of America Inc., a provider of commercial LCD projectors and displays, has announced the launch of two projector replacement models, the P525WL and the P525UL. Both provide a flexible, affordable, no-maintenance solution for projector installations in higher education classrooms, conference rooms and other locations where a large, high-quality image is desired, according to a company press release

The P525WL replaces NEC's P502WL-2, and the P525UL replaces NEC's P502HL-2. In each new model, the imaging unit has been upgraded from DLP to LCD technology.

"These 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," Ryan Pitterle, product manager for NEC Display Solutions, said in the press release. "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."

Featuring 5,200 center lumens, these two LCD models provide dynamic images in high ambient light conditions, and the laser light source offers a minimum of 20,000 hours of reliable life, which lowers total cost of ownership and reduces maintenance, the release said.

In Constant Brightness mode, the P525WL and P525UL are capable of delivering consistent-looking images for the life of the projector. Additionally, these 4K-ready projectors support UHD signals, while WXGA and WUXGA native resolutions produce high-definition images.

Like other NEC P Series projectors, the P525WL and the P525UL offer a combination of installation series features, including manual horizontal and vertical lens shift, 1.6x zoom lens and HDBaseT input. 

Both models feature Dual HDMI for seamless switching between Blu-ray, computer or other digital sources; USB with 2.0A support for powering third-party devices; LAN port for network control and asset management; and Optional Wireless Module (NP05LM1) with MultiPresenter capability for up to 16 simultaneous connections.
