ViewSonic announced a number of industry-leading initiatives
to deliver more value and performance to its Viewsonic projector
customers. ViewSonic will now offer a one-year limited warranty
on its projector lamps, shattering the existing industry standard
of 90 days. In addition, ViewSonic announced that a three-year
warranty and one full year of its Express Exchange® service
will come standard with all its Viewsonic projectors at no
additional charge. Coupled with these enriched offerings,
ViewSonic unveiled two projector upgrades on its popular PJ750
and PJ1065 models, which are among the brightest and most
affordable presentation products on the market today.
ViewSonic’s one-year limited lamp guarantee is up to
four times longer than most existing competitive warranties.
The warranty applies to end users, resellers and dealers alike,
and represents up to a $500 value for every customer. In addition,
all ViewSonic projectors sold on or after May 6, 2002, will
be covered by a three-year warranty, upgraded from the current
two-year offering. The one full year of Express Exchange service
delivers a replacement product in exchange for the one in
need of repair within 48 hours.
"We are so confident in our Viewsonic projectors that
we’re willing to stand behind them with promises that
our competitors aren’t making today," said Jeff
Klaas, director, Digital Display Products, ViewSonic. "We
are completely committed to bringing customers the best products
and the best support in the industry."
The PJ750-2 adds to ViewSonic’s already impressive
lineup of Viewsonic projectors, which is currently the market’s
fastest growing category of projectors. The PJ750-2 offers
2,200 lumens of brightness at an estimated street price (ESP)
of $3,495. Its 1024 x 768 XGA resolution and high contrast
of 500:1 ensure clear, crisp images in a variety of presentation
settings. The PJ750-2 weighs only seven pounds and features
"eco-mode" for extended lamp life and whisper quiet
noise levels, and is HDTV ready.
The PJ1065-2, a fourteen-pound wall or ceiling mountable
Viewsonic projector, now features 3,500 lumens and 1024 x
768 XGA resolution. It is ViewSonic’s highest performance
XGA projector and costs $5,995 (ESP). Lumens per pound, it
offers among the highest brightness of any projector in its
super performance class, bettering some competitive products
by as much as 500 lumens. It has the ability to accept a variety
of premium inputs, including DVI, DVD and HDTV signals, and
is capable of showing virtually any type of electronic content,
while features like progressive scan, digital keystone correction
and picture-in-picture enable high quality images and enhanced
flexibility.
"Weight, brightness, and features are driving the design
and sales of Viewsonic projectors," said Jennifer Litten,
product manager, Digital Display Products, ViewSonic. "These
enhanced projector offerings meet our customers’ toughest
expectations for performance and value."
The ViewSonic PJ750-2 and PJ1065-2 Viewsonic projectors will
be available through the professional audio-visual channel,
authorized ViewSonic distributors and solution providers.
