The VS410 and VS350W provide 4,000 and 3,500 lumens of color respectively. Each is available for less than $1,000.
Projector manufacturer Epson has introduced two new high-brightness, low-cost projectors to its projector line. The VS410 and VS350W are designed to provide SMBs with performance hardware within a limited budget.
The VS410 offers 4,000 lumens of color and white light output with XGA resolution. It carries a MSRP of $899.
The VS350W delivers 3,500 lumens color and white light output with WXGA (1280 x 800) resolution for SMBs looking to leverage widescreen notebooks and high-definition content. Its MSRP is $949.
“The easy-to-use Epson VS410 and VS350W offer the perfect option for businesses looking for cost-effective projectors with basic functionality and the versatility for use in all lighting conditions,” explains Epson product manager Jason Meyer.
Meyer explains that the VS410 and VS350W offer “easy-to-use connectivity and control features,” including USB Plug ‘n Play for instantly projecting video and audio from a PC or Mac computer via a USB connection as well as Direct Power On and Off for wall switch power control and Instant On/Off.
The Epson VS410 and VS350W offer SMBs with such value-added features as built-in 5W speakers and Epson’s E-TORL lamp technology, which enables the lamp life to last up to 4,000 hours in economy mode.
The VS410 and VS350W also come equipped with the latest 3LCD, 3-chip technology to deliver vibrant images and detail for powerful presentations. “The 3LCD technology provides an energy-efficient light engine that uses available lamp light to create stunning images, and in contrast to 1-chip DLP technology, 3LCD requires, on average, 25 percent less electricity per lumen of brightness,” states Epson in a press release submitted to Channel Pro-SMB.
The Epson VS410 and VS350W will be available in Sept. 2011 through national resellers, mail order, and distribution. Both models come with a standard one-year limited warranty that includes two technical support services — Epson PrivateLine phone support and a Road Service projector replacement program.
