NEC LT30 and LT35: world's first "truly automatic" projectors

NEC LT35 projector

NEC recently announced what they are billing as the world's first truly automatic projectors: NEC LT30 and LT35. Both digital projectors automatically focus (!), sync with your computer's signal, square a skewed image, and power on/off gracefully when connected to a wall light-switch or power strip. Each projector pumps XGA (1024 x 768) natively and weigh 4.4 pounds with a footprint smaller than an 8.5 x 11-inch sheet of paper. The L30 boasts 2,600 lumens for $1,795 while the LT35 squeezes out 3,000 lumens for $2,195 — that's bright enough to present with the shades open or lights on, dig. Sure, you can use these at home, but with inputs limited to RCA, RGB (analog), S-Video, and component (via RGB adapter) you could do better. Expect these to drop next month.
