The PJ256D offers compatibility, ease of use and excellent image quality in a lightweight, mobile form factor that can be transported easily. The projector’s multiple connectivity options include PCs and DVD players to extend the usage scenarios for the PJ256D, making it practical for viewing presentations in the boardroom or movies in the living room. The display’s quick and easy set up automatically syncs the input source, which is ideal for business users on the move.

The PJ256D boasts a high 1024 x 768 XGA resolution and 2000:1 contrast ratio for clear, crisp images, while a remote control with built-in mouse capabilities and a laser pointer allows presenters to highlight points without interruption. Video features include integrated motion adaptive, progressive scan and 3:2 pull down to deliver vivid video with fewer artifacts. To support distraction-free viewing, an optical zoom lens allows users to change the screen size with the lens ring, and the whisper mode reduces noise output and extends the lamp life up to 4,000 hours.
The PJ256D is sold with ViewSonic’s superior customer support program that includes a three-year on-site warranty. It will be available in the second half of October through specialist dealers and e-tailers.
