NEC NP-V260X XGA 3D Mobile Projector
The NEC NP-V260X XGA 3D Mobile Projector is a low priced high powered projector that's as useful in the living room as it is in the conference room. It can project high definition signals in the 720p and 1080i formats and most international TV standards. Its 100 to 200 V AC 50/60 Hz power supply is also ready for the world.
The NP-V260X is so ecologically conscious it can even calculate and display its own carbon footprint by operating in eco-mode. Eco-mode lowers light output somewhat, slows the fan and saves you money. The NP-V260X sports a 0.55" DLP chip with BrilliantColor. This chip increases color accuracy while it increases color brightness by up to 50 percent. And it processes six different primary colors rather than the usual three. What's more, projectors powered by DLP light engines require no filters that have to be cleaned and replaced periodically.
And it's that same chip that allows the NP-V260X to project 3D images. Just add 3D shutter glasses and 3D programming and step into the world of three dimensions. This projector is people friendly too. Its input panel is clearly labeled and color coded. And it enables you to include the hard of hearing members of your audience by displaying closed captioning from program sources that provide it. Closed captioning also comes in handy to help people whose native language isn't English.

Comments about NEC NP-V260X XGA 3D Mobile Projector:
We bought this product mainly to use with our RV for watching football games outdoors while tailgating. However, it is versatile enough that I can take it in the house for movie night or watching games on a big screen in the house. I plan to use it also for business. It has plenty of connection options, from HDMI to RCA video and VGA. The only downside is the small speaker. Very difficult to hear even sitting right beside the unit. NEC makes very good products, and this one is no exception — especially for the price.

Comments about NEC NP-V260X XGA 3D Mobile Projector:
We use this product to show videos at events. We could not be more pleased with the image quality, portability and ease of use of this product. There is a huge range of projectors out there these days for many more hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars more than this projector but for the price, it is unbelievable

Comments about NEC NP-V260X XGA 3D Mobile Projector:
Recently found the need for a new projector in our Conference room,we had an 8 yr old NEC unit that broke. After careful review on the B&H website we found a great deal on a 3D Mobile Unit that we actually mounted. The picture is great, the functions are extensive. I have recieved many kudo's for doing my research and choosing such a great unit at such a terrific price.
