Toshiba Launches Premium Slim Projector with Closed Captioning
Capabilities
New TLP-X150U Mobile Projector Offers 2,600 ANSI Lumens, 3LCD
Technology and Toshiba’s Three-Year Standard
Limited Warranty
IRVINE, Calif. (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) October 7, 2008 --
A leader in creating innovative mobile computing products, Toshiba’s
Digital Products Division, today announced the launch of the mobile,
3LCD TLP-X150U
projector with closed captioning that can deliver a “PC-free”
presentation, thanks to a built-in USB port in a slim form factor. The
projector is affordably priced at $959 (MSRP)(1)
and is covered by Toshiba’s three-year
standard limited warranty(2).
Weighing just 4 pounds and measuring less than 3 inches tall, the
TLP-X150U is perfect for mobile professionals, educators, corporate
customers, small-to-medium businesses or for portable digital
entertainment. The mobile TLP-X150U
produces superior image quality with 2,600 ANSI lumens, a contrast ratio
of 600:1, and XGA native resolution of 1024 x 768 and Toshiba’s
unique Natural Color Enhancer5 which provides an advanced color
correction circuitry that makes presentation colors exceptionally sharp
and vivid.
“With the addition of the TLP-X150U to Toshiba’s
lineup of mobile projectors, professional presenters can benefit from
the slim form factor solution in education settings, in the business
place and for digital home entertainment,”
said Jane Poon, product marketing manager, Digital Products Division,
Toshiba America Information Systems, Inc. “The
TLP-X150U utilizes Toshiba’s Natural Color
Enhancer5 technology and the integration of closed captioning technology
to provide an audience with superior images and the ability to read the
screen to reinforce visual learning.”
The Toshiba TLP-X150U projector includes the following leading-edge
technologies:
-
Slim Form Factor: Weighing just 4 pounds, the TLP-X150U
projector’s slim form factor is less than 3
inches high and about the size of a hardback novel, making it easy to
transport while traveling or moving from meeting to meeting. The
projector comes with its own carrying case and can be stowed in an
airline overhead bin or carry-on bag.
-
Closed Captioning: This advancement allows the audience to read
text or dialogue from a DVD player or television signal, benefiting
viewers who may be hard of hearing, learning a new language, beginning
to read or in a noisy environment.
-
USB Port: This option allows on-the-go professionals the option
to deliver a “PC-free”
presentation by simply storing the presentation in a JPG format and
plugging the USB thumbnail drive into the USB port, taking advantage
of the TLP-X150U projector’s enhanced
mobility.
-
“Blackboard”
Function: This feature allows presentations to be made on
non-screen surfaces, such as a painted wall or a blackboard, for
ultimate mobility. Users simply select a wall color, such as green,
black, brown, blue or beige, and the projector automatically corrects
the color for a clearer display in almost any environment.
-
Quick-Power Shutdown: Some projectors require that the fan
stops completely before unplugging the projector to save on wear and
tear of the lamp. The Toshiba TLP-X150U projector can be powered off
once disconnected from the outlet with no cool-down time required.
-
Automatic Vertical Keystone Correction: This feature instantly
projects a square image even when the projector is placed at a steep
offset angle of plus or minus 45 degrees to the screen.
