PJ551D

VERSATILE, PORTABLE XGA DLP PROJECTOR WITH BRILLIANTCOLOR™ TECHNOLOGY

Presentations in digital clarity


The ViewSonic PJ551D projector delivers amazingly crisp digital images at qualities only a DLP projector can achieve. Weighing in at just 2.8kg with 2200 ANSI LUMENS and a 2500:1 CONTRAST RATIO, this portable projector makes it easy to give multimedia lessons in the classroom or dynamic presentations in the boardroom. Multiple preset presentation modes, an increased ±40 degree digital vertical keystone correction and optical zoom ensure the best possible image regardless of location. With up to 4000 hours of lamp life, low cost replacement lamps, filter-less design and a non-degrading DLP light engine, the PJ551D has one of the best “TOTAL COST OF PROJECTION” ratios in the industry. The PJ551D makes giving presentations enjoyable for educational and business users alike.

DLP® technology

Latest Brilliant Colour Technology delivers stunning all-digital clarity with life-like colour, sharp graphics and outstanding video. The sophisticated 5-segment colour (RGBWY) wheel provides greater colour accuracy than standard DLP projectors with a 4-segment colour wheel.

Ease of use

The PJ551D comes with a suite of electronic features to make the set-up process easy. Electronic keystone correction (+/- 40 vertical degrees) maintains a squared image, while 7 preset modes adapt to any environment – including chalkboard modes for educational uses. In addition, this projector’s automatic signal detection reduces set-up times, while a new button on the remote enables easy toggling between high brightness and true colour mode.

Lowest “Total Cost of Projection"

Top cover lamp replacement ensures easy and cost-effective maintenance, while prices for replacement lamps are incredibly low. High performance is guaranteed by 3500 hours of lamp life or 4000 hours in eco mode! In addition, filter-less design means there is no need to clean or change filters.

Protection & Personalisation

Assign a PIN code to prevent unauthorised use or theft, and customise your start-up screen to suit your needs.

Warranty

Industry-leading three-year on-site warranty with one-year or 1000 hour lamp warranty.

Wireless projection (WPG-150)

Optional WPG-150 provides unparalleled wireless performance for data and video applications. The PJ551D projector networks seamlessly via wireless connections to a notebook or desktop PC.
