NEC expands U Series with 3000 lumen U300X and 3100 lumen U310W projectors

Could 3000 lumens be the next benchmark for projectors if they’re going to duke it out in the mass market? Perhaps, as NEC too (like Casio) has announced two more models of projectors from the U Series line, sporting 3000 and 3100 lumens of brightness in the U300X and U310W projectors, respectively. At that kind of brightness, shadows and glare which are normally found in standard projection systems are eliminated. These ultra short throw projectors are also 3D-ready, boasting powerful DLP and DLP Link technologies from Texas Instruments. Apart from that, you will also get XGA and WXGA resolutions depending on the model of your choice to suit your budget and needs, with connectivity options coming in the form of HDMI and dual computer inputs. The U300X and U310W projectors are tipped to hit the markets this December for $1,299 and $1,199, respectively, accompanied by a standard 2-year limited warranty. [Press Release]
