Toshiba TDP-T100U projector launched

Toshiba introduced the TDP-T100U DLP (digital light processing) mobile projector. Toshiba's latest projector features high-quality brightness at 2,700 ANSI lumens in a mobile form factor and is designed for small-to medium-sized businesses, mobile presenters, video gamers and weekend movie and sports enthusiasts for $1,599.

The TDP-T100U's feature enhancements that Toshiba is incorporating in its latest line of projectors include:

One-touch auto setup on a fully loaded presentation remote to ensure worry-free, professional presentations even in the most unforgiving environments;

"Blackboard" function that allows a presenter to make a wall color adjustment when projecting on a non-screen surface for more attractive and readable presentations;

Instant power shut down capability enables the projector to power off once disconnected from the outlet with no cool-down time required;

Digital zoom function on the remote control allows the presenter to zoom in on a specific image presentation element such as spreadsheet numbers or other important details;

Active monitor loop-through allows users to view their computer monitor even when the projector is off.

Weighing 6.6 pounds, the TDP-T100U also offers a 2000:1 contrast ratio, XGA 1024x768 native resolution to project text and images, and Toshiba's unique Natural Color Enhancer2, a color correction circuitry that makes the screen color look more natural with sharp and vivid images.

The TDP-T100U projector offers users an array of connectivity options, including composite video, component and S-video inputs, audio in and variable audio output capabilities. The special monitor-out capabilities allow users to display and view images on a monitor and screen simultaneously.

The TDP-T100U also includes automatic vertical keystone correction (plus or minus 30 degrees) that instantly projects a square image even when the projector is set up at a steep offset angle to the screen.
