NEC Asia Pacific, a leading provider of commercial LCD display and projector solutions, announced today the 3000-lumen M302WS (S$1,829), 3300-lumen M332XS (S$1,729) and 3500-lumen M352WS (S$2,049). Available now.
NEC digital solutions adds three new digital models to its M Series short-throw projectors.

“The M Series has established itself as a formidable projector family over the last three years, and the M300WS, M332XS and M352WS models enhance that reputation. Accommodating standard and widescreen needs, M Short Throw Series projectors deliver bright images to interactive screens and whiteboards from less than 3 feet away,” said Vincent Koh, Vice President of Multimedia Product Platform Unit.
Using the latest DLP technology from Texas Instruments, the M302WS, M332XS and M352WS models deliver high contrast images (10,000:1), are filter free, and have 0.6:1 and 0.48:1 throw ratios, respectively.
The eco-conscious features in the M Short Throw Series include ECO Mode technology, which increases lamp life up to 8000 hours, while lowering power consumption, as well as quick start (3 to 4 seconds) and auto power on via the RGB input connector.
Remote diagnostics enable the user to monitor and make adjustments to the projectors from afar.
The M Series portable projectors also boast the ability to transmit images from computers, tablets and smart phones using DisplayNote and NEC’s own Wireless Image Utility.
