Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Bright enough for installation and light enough for travel, the easy-to-use LT260K DLP projector from NEC is specifically designed for high-resolution computers--and for displaying detailed information like financial data and graphics. Whether you're outfitting a small or large business or seeking a projector for your school or government office, the LT260K offers maximum brightness and portability, so you can view its image in--and easily move it between--a variety of settings.

Need one projector for use with different laptops? No problem. The LT260K's wireless capability even lets you map presentations from one notebook across multiple projectors. You can remotely control and monitor the projector by using the wired or wireless LAN function.

NEC's 3-D Reform geometric keystone correction squares-off even the most skewed image so you never have to worry about where you're going to place the projector. When a USB mouse is connected, keystone corrections can be made with a simple click. And the projector's quiet operation makes sure your audience will always be able hear your presentation.

VORTEX Technology Plus delivers displays of uncompromising quality, improving white level, color accuracy, dynamic range, and images with fine grades of black over those provided by standard projectors. Advanced AccuBlend ensures detailed images with sources being shown in non-native resolutions.

Sealed optics to reduce the amount of dust and smoke that filter into the optics. This is especially important in arid climates, dusty environments like classrooms (chalk), military field operations, or smoke-filled rooms, bars, or restaurants. The projector's EcoMode reduces overall projector power consumption and conserves energy.

You get a number of security options. The projector can be made inoperable without a password and/or a PCMCIA security card. Further, you can lock down the projector by attaching a security cable to its lock slot.

Should a problem arise, you can always turn to NEC's award-winning service and support, including services like InstaCare, InstaCare Xpress, and TravelCare. Registered owners receive a three-year limited parts-and-labor warranty. The projection lamp, when used under normal operating conditions, is warranted for 1,000 hours or six months, whichever comes first.

Projector, user's manual (CD-ROM), PJ/PC remote, batteries, power cable, 15-pin mini D-sub cable, USB cable (A and B), quick-connect guide, registration card, lens cap with attachment string and rivet

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice projector, average sound and bad remote, March 22, 2004

I have been using this projector for 3 months. I tested it for both home theater and business presentations. The image is great, very clear and bright, even at 20ft from the screen, when it's 8 ft wide! The zoom and keystone correction allow for perfect adjustments.
The built in speaker is average, barely good enough for business presentations. For home theater, of course you want to use your surround sound so it doesn't matter much. The most aggravating part is the remote buttons: they are very mushy, with no real feeling to know if you are pressing them or not... Because of that, moving through the menus can be really cumbersome as you keep going too far and have to back up. I end up using the buttons on the projector itself, because it makes it much quicker than trying to control the pressure on the 4 directions arrow button! For home theater, it's ok because you only turn the projector on and off once it's installed, but when you have a presentation with customers, it can get really embarrassing...
Overall a very nice projector, but please give us a good old traditional remote, rather than this fancy, futuristic and unusable one!

I purchased the NEC LT260K projector used and near the end of it's original lamp's life. It was an especially good deal as the projector came with a brand new lamp. I used the unit for an additional 100 hours with the original lamp and then started noticing the picture getting dark and hard to see. Changing out to the new bulb was effortless and wow what a difference. The optics are sealed which means it does not have a filter that needs to be cleaned or replaced. This is really nice when a ceiling mount installation is called for. This is a very bright projector. It is very versatile and it has served every purpose from business presentations with lights on full, to church presentation with dimmed lights, to home theatre viewing with lights out. In home theatre use you will want to swtich lamp setting to "econ" which will both extend the lamp life and also lower the fan setting for whisper quiet viewing. There are many great features with this projector.
I have also owned and operated Epson, and Mitsubishi projectors.
Enjoy!
