ViewSonic have outed a couple of new projector systems, the PJD2121 pico-projector and the WPG-350 presentation gateway. The former is a 720p/1080i capable mini-projector which can throw a 60-inch image, while the latter hooks up to any projector or display with a VGA port and funnels presentations (up to 1024 x 768) or 1080p video via WiFi b/g/n from a nearby laptop or PC.
One of the big trends in the consumer electronics industry is to smaller and smaller devices. One area where the devices are getting much smaller than they used to be is in projectors. Most projectors used to be large devices that were hard to carry around, but projectors today are often not much larger than a smartphone.
Of Viewsonic’s new ULV lineup from last week it was the nettops that prompted the most interest. The Viewsonic VOT 130 and 132 (on the left) and the Viewsonic VOT 120 and 121 (on the right) offer such notable features as NVIDIA Ion (in the VOT 132), a magnetically-attached DVD drive (the 13x models) and 1.3GHz CULV processor (the VOT 121). NetbookNews stopped by for a couple of video hands-on demos with the nettops.
Video hands-on after the cut
If we’re honest, we were more excited about Viewsonic’s Ion-packing VOT 132 nettop than its new netbooks yesterday, but that doesn’t mean we won’t give the 10.2-inch VNB101 a chance. NetbookNews were skulking around the press conference and managed to grab some hands-on time with the 10.2-inch machine.

What the world needs now, sang Viewsonic, is Ion, sweet Ion, and so they gave us this. The Viewsonic VOT 130/132 nettop may look like a pale VHS cassette but it’s actually one of the items in the company’s new product range, accompanied by two other compact desktops, two netbooks and a PMP. Of the lot, though, it’s the VOT 130/132 that’s most interesting, having as it does optional NVIDIA Ion graphics.
Three new projectors were debuted by ViewSonic today, all of which sport 3D display functions. All three also have a 120Hz refresh rate and numerous inputs as well as network management.
First is the PJD6381, which features a .68 throw ratio, a 2,500 lumens brightness level and a 2,500:1 contrast ratio with a 1,024 x 768 resolution. A release date is expected in August and it will sell for $1,249.
Next is the PJD6211 and the PJD6221, which are the more middle of the road models. They have a 1,024 x 768 resolution and several inputs including VGA, S-Video and composite. Both will be available next month for $849 and $999, respectively.
ViewSonic released three brand new displays this morning that all fall within the Graphic Series for the company. Each of these displays has a 16:9 aspect ratio and a bezel that’s super thin, making them ideal for use in multi-display configurations.
ViewSonic is always releasing new digital photo frames and today they’ve revealed three more that might be of interest to you. They are a part of the TrueView line and range from 7-inches to 10.4-inches in size.
ViewSonic is on a roll lately. They just recently announced their new VT2230 LCD TV and now they’ve quietly revealed their VG2427 LCD monitor. And if you are in the market for a new monitor, this one definitely might be worth checking out.
If you’re in the market for a new LCD TV, then ViewSonic has just announced another model that you can take into consideration. It’s called the VT2230 LCD TV and measures in at 22-inches, fulfilling that niche of the market that requires a smaller screen that still offers a high quality image.
