NEC Display Solutions of America, a leading stand-alone provider of commercial and residential LCD and plasma displays and projectors, today announced the VT800 digital network-ready projector, ideal for education and corporate settings.

The VT800, the newest addition to NEC’s VT projector series, provides many essential features, such as closed captioning for decoding and displaying text in videos, and a comprehensive input/output panel with built-in A/V switching. Network functions include remote diagnostics that enable monitoring and control of the projector over a network, and Image Express Utility™ for sending data and video over a network.

“The VT800 projector offers features necessary to educators and corporate users,” said Bob Guentner, Product Manager for NEC Display Solutions. “This extremely bright portable projector captures audience attention in classrooms and meeting rooms, and can be easily managed over the network, saving the IT department time and money.”

Unique image-enhancing features of the VT800 include HQV™ (Hollywood Quality Video) technology, which provides dramatically improved data and video display, Advanced AccuBlend™, which ensures detailed images when using non-native resolution sources, and automatic keystone correction for instant correction of vertical distortions when the projector is set up at an angle to the screen.
