23-May-00

Toshiba recently announced the introduction of its smallest-ever LCD projector, the Micro-Portable Model TLPB2. Weighing in at just 5.8 pounds, the TLPB2 offers true XGA resolution, along with a brightness level of 1000 ANSI lumens-up to 25 percent brighter than any other portable projector in its weight class. In common with all Toshiba portable LCD projectors, the TLPB2 utilizes advanced glass and lens technologies for unsurpassed image reproduction quality, and includes a host of convenience features that make it easy to deliver great presentations anywhere. ""With the introduction of our new TLPB2 projector, Toshiba has once again shown that we are committed to leading the portable multimedia projector business,"" noted Sam Malik, Director of National Sales and Marketing, Multimedia Products Group. ""There are simply no other projectors on the market, in this weight and size, that offer comparable brightness and picture quality."" Measuring only 9.1 (W) x 10.7 (D) x 2.8 (H) inches, the Toshiba TLPB2 LCD projector is designed as the ultimate ""go anywhere"" multimedia projector. The TLPB2 provides a full complement of video and stereo audio inputs including RGB, S-video and composite video inputs, for total connection flexibility with all video sources. The TLPB2 delivers outstanding image quality, thanks to its advanced 0.9-inch polysilicon LCDs and premium-quality lens array. The projector's credit card-sized remote control provides convenient operation of all functions. To ensure compatibility with all computers and workstations in all resolution modes, the TLPB2 reproduces full XGA and SVGA resolutions. To further enhance picture quality, the TLPB2 employs a unique video compression technology called T-ForcMK2, which significantly improves image quality in all display modes. T-ForcMK2 technology uses sophisticated digital video interpolation and compression techniques to eliminate jagged edges and produce images of unprecedented smoothness and clarity, while re-sizing different display resolutions to fill the projection screen without the need for manual adjustment. In addition, T-ForcMK2's automatic scaling allows it to accept HDTV sources. Ideal for use with all PC and Macintosh computers, VCRs, camcorders and DVD-Video players, the new TLPB2 displays images in sizes ranging from just 22 inches (diagonal measurement) for small-room presentations to pictures over 20 feet in size for large audiences. The TLPB2 is currently available through Toshiba professional A/V dealers and selected PC channel distributors at a suggested retail price of $5,995.00.
