NEC presents to us the NP610 entry-level installation projector. It was designed for users who require incredible image quality with advanced capabilities in a powerful yet affordable package. It features a 3500 lumens brightness, a 500:1 contrast ratio and a eco mode which offers up 5000 hours of lamp life.

There are other notable features which includes built-in closed captioning which enables decoding and text display from a video, automatic keystone correction technology which instantly projects a square image even when the projector is set up at a steep offset angle to the screen, Autosense which intuitively syncs the projector with most computer signals and features one-touch image optimization, built-in wall color correction preset, 7-watt speaker and inputs such as DVI-I with HDCP, 15-pin, RCA and S-Video.

The new NP610 will begin shipping in November 2009 with an estimated street price of $1499.
