Optoma Technology TW330 Portable WXGA DLP Projector - Refurbished

The Optoma TW330 Portable XGA Projector packs a lot of features into a surprisingly affordable package. Its 2,200 lumens of projection power combined with its 2,000:1 contrast ratio means it will provide a rich, vivid image in medium to large rooms even with some ambient light to contend with.

The TW330's star attraction is its Texas Instruments DMD DLP chip. This 0.55" chip processes not just the three primary colors that all other chips work on, red, green and blue, but also their complements: cyan, magenta and yellow. As a result colors are so clear and lifelike that TI calls its latest version of the technology BrilliantColor. DLP chips with BrilliantColor increase the brightness of colors by 50 percent vs. DLP chips without it. An added advantage of this chip is that it requires no filter that has to be periodically cleaned and replaced, an operation that can be risky in ceiling mounted installations.

Another key attraction of this projector is its versatility and compatibility. At 2.4 lb, not only is it lighter than most hard cover novels, but its power supply can auto switch between inputs of 100 - 240 Volts AC at 50/60Hz, so it's an idea travel mate. It's also compatible with about 40 PC and Mac resolution and frequency combinations. The 16:10 Aspect Ratio makes it so ideal for widescreen laptop-based business presentations.

Even if the business world is the furthest thing from your mind you're in luck. The TW330 is compatible with video signals in the NTSC, PAL and SECAM standards. And it can do 720p, 1080i and 1080p high definition. Just plug it into a cable, satellite box or TV with a video out jack and you're good to go.

There's a lot to like in the TW330 so you'll want to secure your investment. There's a control panel lock, password protection and a security bar through which you can lace a security cable (available separately).

If you're looking for projection power, rich, vivid color and versatility in a very affordable package, the TW330 may be just the projector you're looking for.
