VIEWSONIC PROJECTOR SOLUTION LETS USERS SWAP INFORMATION NOT CABLES
Wireless Adapter and Portable Projector Combination Brings Ease to Streaming Presentations
ORLANDO, June 7, 2006 – ViewSonic® Corp. today announced it's helping business and
education users cut the cords that often complicate presentation setup and delivery with the
innovative WPG-100 Wireless G Presentation Adapter and the feature-rich PJ658 LCD projector.
The new offerings, which round out the company's wide line-up of projector solutions, allow
multiple computers—located anywhere in a room—to wirelessly connect to a projector to stream
digital or audio content, without the inconvenience of swapping cables during presentations.
With built-in 802.11b/g, DVI, VGA and LAN connectors, the WPG-100 eliminates the need
to upgrade to a more expensive wireless projector. Users can simply connect their laptop to the
WPG-100 to project data wirelessly from up to 250 feet, providing an effortless and cost-effective
alternative for supporting team presentations and lectures. For additional versatility, the adapter
can connect to any display with a DVI or VGA connector for use with an even wider range of
applications. The WPG-100 will be available in August for an estimated street price (ESP) of
$249.99.
"ViewSonic is committed to extending the visual experience through innovative products
that allow people to do more with their technology investments," said Jeff Volpe, vice president of
marketing, ViewSonic Americas. "Our wireless adapter is just the latest example on how we are
supporting the varied needs of customers with cost-effective, easy-to-use solutions."
ViewSonic's latest projector, the PJ658, is another example of how the company is bringing
popular benefits to diverse settings, such as an easy-to-reach lamp when mounted for trouble-free
maintenance and auto vertical keystone to automatically project a square image. The PJ658 also
offers top-notch security features like a PIN lock to prevent unauthorized use and a security bar for
increased theft deterrence.
Additional key features of the PJ658 include the MyScreen functionality that allows users to
display a desired photo or company logo upon start up, along with the Whiteboard Mode that
reduces the glare when projecting images on whiteboards. Featuring 2,500 lumens, the projector
is ideal for virtually any environment—from brightly lit classrooms to shaded boardrooms—and offers a 500:1 contrast ratio, XGA 1024x768 native resolution, Whisper Mode and HDTV signal
support.
The PJ658 will be available in July for an ESP of $999, and features ViewSonic's superior
customer support program that includes a three-year limited product warranty, 24/7 technical
support and one year of Express Exchange® service at no additional charge. The WPG-100
features a one-year product warranty.
The projector and wireless presentation adapter will be available through the professional
audio-visual channel, authorized ViewSonic distributors and solution providers. For more
