The NEC NP-M300XS XGA LCD Short Throw Projector is a versatile projector with a short throw lens. A short throw lens, simply put, can project a larger picture at a shorter distance from the screen than a conventional lens can.
Short throw projectors are ideal for smaller conference rooms, classrooms and living rooms. But with 3000 ANSI lumens of brightness at a 2000:1 contrast ratio you can be sure the NP-M300XS works in larger rooms too. Short throw lenses are often used in rear projection setups where space behind the screen is at a premium.
But the NP-M300XS can do a lot more than make big pictures in tight spaces. For one thing, it can make them all over the world. It's got an international 100 - 240 volt 50/60 Hz power supply and it can project video in the NTSC, PAL and SECAM standards.
If the projector's 10W speaker isn't loud enough for you or you just want to listen to your program in stereo, you can hook up (optional) external powered speakers to the NP-M300XS's variable audio out jack and control their volume with the projector's remote control.
Speaking of remote control, you can plug your NP-M300XS into your LAN via its RJ45 jack and set it up for remote monitoring and management in just a few minutes.
We're not sure if the projector's eco-mode is short for ecological or economical because it helps save the environment while it saves you money. Eco-Mode allows for a lower power setting at a 30% reduction in brightness. Lamp power draw drops from 230W to 170W while life is extended by 25 percent from 4000 hours to 5000 hours. In addition, while in Eco standby mode, the projector is designed to consume only 0.2W of power. Optionally, you can even display carbon savings on the startup screen.

With XGA and WXGA native resolutions, high brightness up to 3000 lumens and patented NEC technologies, M Short Throw Series projectors display impressive image quality
- M Short Throw Series Projectors Vs. Standard Projectors
- Short throw creates a 110" (2794mm) diagonal image from 42" (1066.8mm), eliminating shadows on the screen along with projected light in the presenter's eyes created by traditional front projection systems
- Virtual Remote
- Virtual Remote (DDC/CI) over the VGA cable to control the projector directly from a computer without the need for additional control cables
- Easy Lamp Changes
- Top cover lamp change provides for easy lamp changes without removal of the projector from the mount
- Built-In Wall Color Correction Presets
- Provide for adaptive color tone correction to display properly on non-white surfaces
- Designed With The Environment In Mind
-
Extended lamp life with Eco-Mode technology increases lamp life up to 5000 hours, while lowering power consumption
Power management enables projector to automatically turn off when an incoming signal is not detected from any of the inputs
Auto Power On via the RGB (15-pin) input connector when a signal is detected from a computer
Carbon savings meter calculates the positive effects of operating the projector in Eco-Mode, which is encouraged by an optional message at startup. A green Eco-Mode button on the remote control makes the switch easy
Quick start (3 to 4 seconds) lets you begin presenting in seconds while quick shutdown (immediate power off with no cooling required after shutdown) ensures efficient energy usage
Sleep timer can be set to automatically turn off the projector at set countdown times
Low power consumption (0.2W in standby mode) minimizes energy costs
- 5000 Hour Filter Life
- NEC is committed to designing its products to provide long lifecycles. This commitment even extends to components within its products, including the improved filter. This virtually maintenance-free filter reduces the frequency at which cleaning is required, thereby decreasing your total cost of ownership
- Geometric Correction
- Projecting an image isn't confined to a standard flat screen or wall with the NP-M300XS. Geometric correction allows these models to project an image on spheres, cylinders, corner angles and many more non-standard surfaces
- DICOM SIM
- DICOM Simulation enables users in medical environments to display accurate diagnostic images
- Cornerstone
- Enhanced keystone correction allows for horizontal, vertical and diagonal image correction for aligned images even when the projector is set up at an angle to the screen
- Get Connected
-
Dual computer inputs ensure quick switching between presentations
Four audio inputs (two mini stereo, R/L and HDMI) make it easy to add sound to enhance your presentations
- Remote Control
- Easy control from remote allows you to adjust lamp mode, aspect ratio, volume and image all with the touch of a button
- HDMI Input
- The NP-M300XS inputs include an HDMI w/ HDCP for connecting to high-definition sources such as Blu-ray players, cable boxes, satellite receivers and personal computers
- Variable Audio-Out
- This input enables the remote control to be used to adjust volume of self-powered external speakers that are connected to the projector. In standby mode, the audio-out stays active, allowing the last input used to pass to the self-powered external speakers
- USB Viewer
- In instances when you'd prefer to leave your laptop behind for a presentation, M Short Throw Series projectors can deliver a solution. Using the presentation conversion software included with your projector, simply place your file onto a USB drive and plug it into the projector's USB port. This allows you to display images stored as .jpgs from optional USB memory

Comments about NEC NP-M300XS XGA LCD Short Throw Projector:
Great for rear projection in tight spaces. Used on 14' screens and looks as good as a 5K. Best thing; no center-screen hot spot. Projects from bottom of screen level. Purchased two of these for the same rate as renting one from a hotel AV for our meetings. I will buy more to rent out. Movies look great on it at home, too.

Comments about NEC NP-M300XS XGA LCD Short Throw Projector:
This projector is great! The short throw feature is awesome. It's very bright, and it is really easy to use all of the various inputs. The internal speaker sounds just like a tv. Video games look great on it too.
It would be nice if it was a little more transportable. It's bigger than a normal projector (but that's because of the large lens), so it's a little bulky to move around. A case for it would be nice.
