SANYO, one of the world's largest manufacturers
of 3LCD and DLP projectors, announced details about a new
ultraportable projector, the PLC-XW60, which is the industry's
smallest and lightest XGA LCD projector. At a mere 3.6 lbs,
it is small enough to carry in one hand, offering simple setup,
and is packed full of features such as automatic keystone
correction, automatic input signal detection, an adjustable
color mode for projecting on different surface colors, and
an easy-off function that allows users to pull the plug and
store the projector without waiting for a cool-down cycle.
The small and lightweight projector has been designed for
widespread use by those on the go such as traveling businessmen,
as well as in corporate offices and classrooms.
The SANYO PLC-XW60 introduces the industry's smallest compact
body at only 10.4 (W) x 2.17 (H) X 7.40 (D) inches (not including
protrusion parts). Contributing to the ultra-small dimensions,
SANYO developed new, lighter, miniaturized optical components,
reduced the lamp size by 39% by using an optimized reflector
and reduced the lens weight by 44% by adopting a new aspherical
plastic lens. The reduced size and weight opens up new opportunities
for on-the-go projector use in business, entertainment and
education markets.
The projector is capable of projecting an extremely large
image from short distances. For instance, a 100-inch image
is possible from only 9 to 11 feet away, enabling the PLC-XW60
to be used in very limited spaces. Additionally, the PLC-XW60
offers simple setup functions such as a built-in sensor that
automatically searches for an available input signal and automatic
keystone correction for use in a wide variety of locations
and situations. The projector's guidance display allows users,
either novice or experts, to quickly setup and operate the
PLC-XW60.
Even More Great Features
When a white projection screen or surface is not available,
especially for impromptu presentations, the PLC-XW60 provides
SANYO's Color or BlackBoard Mode (red, blue, green and yellow)
that enables clear images against almost any solid-colored
surface including black boards. The easy on/off function turns
on the power simply by plugging in the power cord. Moreover,
the power cord can be removed without waiting for the projector
to cool down -- allowing busy executives to meet and go.
