Sharp, a big electronics company in Japan, just introduced some new projectors. These projectors are part of the M Series and were made in partnership with NEC. They’re meant to be affordable for people who want to buy projectors. The Sharp M Series laser projectors use a special kind of light called laser light, and they also have DLP technology.
Sharp M Series Laser Projector Specifications:
Sharp has just launched two new projectors: the Sharp XP-M421W-W and the XP-M401H-W. These projectors are part of what is called the M Series, a Sharp and NEC collaboration that is intended to be friendly on the pockets of buyers. Instead of regular lamps, it uses laser light technology from Texas Instruments. This means less maintenance and longer life.”.
Resolution reaches 1920 x 1080 pixels on the XP-M421W-W and a native resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels on the XP-M401H-W. Other differences can be noted in the input terminals between the two models: the M401HW is fitted with HDMI 1.4b and HDCP 1.4, while the more powerful M421W-W has HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2 ports. With these differences, both projectors are nearly the same size. Their maximum brightness is 4,000 lumens.
Sharp did not forget to address the environmental aspect as well. Having an external power supply meant the projectors were smaller and lighter in size. The smaller the size of the package, the lesser the wastage and the more effective the logistics will be.
The M Series projectors are equipped with the ECO Mode that saves power and extends their life up to 20,000 hours.
