It’s not going to win any beauty pageants, nor will the boring model number stick in your head, but the new DLA-SH7NL projector from JVC will make you wish you had $15,000 to blow on a new toy. It uses a set of 330W ultra-high-pressure mercury lamps to kick out 5,000 lumens of brightness, with a 10,000:1 contrast ratio. And as for resolution, the DLA-SH7NL is capable of projecting a 10 megapixel or 4,096×2,400 image, but since most people don’t have a 4K source, it can also simultaneously project two or four HD images (1,920 x 1,200) thanks to its four DVI

I reviewed AAXA Technologies’ P1 Pico Projector last year, and while I was mostly satisfied with its capabilities, the prospect of having to constantly re-focus a handheld projector was a big downside. But that’s no longer an issue with the company’s latest model, the L1, since it uses a three color laser light source that apparently projects an image that is always in focus, even on a curved surface. With 20 lumens of brightness the PCOS laser technology is able to project an 800×600 pixel image up to 50-inches in size, assuming you have the right

JVC is set to launch their latest 4K D-ILA professional video projector ‘DLA-SH7NL’ for the Japanese market. Aimed at business users, this powerful projector is able to provide 4096 x 2400 native resolution, 5,000 ANSI lumens brightness, 10,000:1 contrast ratio and up to 3000 hours of lamp life (in ECO mode). In terms of connectivity ports, it offers DVI-D, D-Sub, HDCP, RJ45 and USB. The DLA-SH7NL will hit Japan next month for around 1,400,000 Yen (about $15,518). [Akihabara]

Samsung has showcased two new projectors at ISE 2010. Weighing at only 200 grams, the Samsung H03 is capable to run for about 2 hours on a single charge. This pico projector is LED-based that has a brightness of 30 ANSI lumens and a lifespan of up to 30,000 hours. Additionally, the H03 also supports various connectivity options like USB/PC/Composite, and a microSD slot. On the other hand, the Samsung SP-F10M is touted to be the industry’s first LED-based data projector with 1000 ANSI lumens of brightness and a lifespan of up to 30,000 hours, which means it could last for

I know I should never judge a book by its cover, but I feel confident that I can judge a projector by its price. Which is why I’m probably going to pass on this clamshell style portable projector available from Uxsight which sells for just $51.69. I mean I’d like to judge it on its technical merit, but how am I supposed to do that when the ‘Product Details’ only include the following: - This is a home projector, the design is simple and generous, “content” plentiful, it is the enjoyment of life, the artwork in the spare time. - The people

Sanyo has Introduced their new ultra short-projector ‘LP-WL2500′ which is designed specifically for educators and business professionals. This particular projector is able to project a large 80-inch image from a distance of only 86 cm. On top of that, the device also adopts 3LCD Display Technology and provides 1280 x 800 native resolution, 2,500 ANSI lumens brightness, 500:1 contrast ratio and up to 4,000 hours of lamp life. In terms of connectivity ports, it offers HDMI, two D-Sub, S-Video, two RCA and Ethernet LAN. The LP-WL2500 will become available in Japan in

Epson’s recently announced BrightLink 450Wi ultra-short throw projector is able to produce an image from 55 to 102-inches in size depending on how far it’s mounted from a wall, and whether it’s running WXGA or XGA resolutions. For example, at a distance of just 18 inches it’s able to project a respectable 60-inch diagonal image, but for compact spaces it can be mounted as close as 2.8 inches, though that will result in a considerably smaller image. But that’s not the only trick it has up its sleeve. The BrightLink 450Wi is also an interactive

The details are few at this time, but DigiTimes is reporting that Hewlett-Packard is working on busting out some pico projector support in its laptops and tablets in 2010. Currently the wee beamers haven’t found much of a home in the pockets of consumers, but integrating them into these devices might just make sense. There they could serve as additional displays without adding the bulk of some of the othersolutions we’ve seen in the past. HP’s VP of Personal Computing Systems Monty Wong indicated that the projectors would be placed on top of the screens

This time last year, Epson announced four new projectors that were designed to be affordable and ideal for K-12 classrooms. Today, the company is announcing that within the next few months the company will be releasing upgraded version of these projectors. The projectors include the PowerLite 84+, PowerLite 85+, PowerLite 825+, and the PowerLite 826W+. All of these projectors feature either 2600 ANSI lumens, or 3000 ANSI lumens. The 84+, 85+, and 825+ all come with a native XGA (1024 x 768) resolution, while the 826W+ will come with a widescreen WXGA (1280 x 800) resolution.

Epson has announced a lot of new projectors today, but they are not done yet. According to JP-UK, Epson is also announcing several new models that will be coming to the Middle East. Five new models are to be release, but unfortunately, the company has not released any information about them at this time. One of the projectors however is the EB-450Wi, which is probably the eastern version of the BrightLink 450Wi that was announced earlier today. This model mounts directly to the wall and can display images up to 102” diagonally. The projector also features 2500 ANSI lumens, a
