The V311X and V311W models are designed to provide higher brightness to accommodate larger screen sizes or higher ambient lighting conditions. At just 5.5-pounds each and with up to 5000 hours of lamp life in ECO Mode™, these new V Series projectors have a low total cost of ownership. Their unique power management capabilities enable the projectors to automatically turn off when an incoming signal is not detected from any of the inputs.

The models also offer quick-start (3 seconds), auto power-on via the RGB input connector and direct power-off with no cooling required after shutdown. Additionally, their filter-free designs eliminate the hassle and time spent monitoring and changing filters.

“The new V Series projectors make a favorable impact, especially for users that require projection on-the-go, with sufficient features to quickly set up, present and swiftly shut down,” said Rich McPherson, Senior Product Manager for Projectors at NEC Display Solutions.  “These models are packed with powerful technologies that greatly increase functionality. From their Plug and Play setups and BrilliantColor™ technology to built-in Crestron Roomview Connected™ technology, the V311X and V311W are versatile and efficient for both classrooms and meeting rooms.”
