12-Feb-01

Philips personal projectors, the UGOô Series are smaller than a notebook yet boast a high contrast ratio, stellar design and more. With an extremely low weight of 2.9 pounds, making them the smallest projectors in their class, they are designed for the road warrior that needs to have his or her own presentation tools without a compromise in quality. The series features the UGO X-Lite (XGA) and the UGO S-Lite (SVGA), both having 800 ANSI Lumens. In addition, the high contrast ratio of 800:1 gives these projectors a sharp image with high picture performance. ""We really thought about the challenges business travelers face when expected to give a professional quality presentation without the flexibility of using their own projectors,"" said Marjon De Groot, Director, Product Marketing for Philips Creative Display Solutions, Philips Electronics. ""With this in mind, the UGO gives presenters the flexibility to deliver top-notch multimedia presentations with a product that is not only small in size but also packed with features."" Durable Design And Flexibility Makes It The Ultimate Tool For Roadwarriors The new projectors feature a protective lens that is embedded in the design, making it safe to transport and carry through airports, cabs, train stations and more. The sturdy design features a magnesium cabinet that is 20 times stronger than a similar product made of plastic. As presenters often have to work in changing environments, UGO has a short focus, wide-angle lens to deliver a big picture even in smaller rooms where the projection distance is short. It is also compatible with voltages that work around the world, local video systems and main video formats from around the world, making the perfect travel companion for both local and international trips. Features That Enhance Any Presentation The UGO series boasts Auto Image, a feature that ensures that the projected image is automatically optimized for the best picture quality. With features like digital freeze and digital zoom, portions of the image can be examined more closely. In addition, digital keystone correction compensates for any image distortion, especially when projecting at extreme angles. The projectors also have an integrated USB mouse that enables the presenter to control the mouse cursor of the PC using the remote control of the projector. Warranty, Pricing And Availability The UGO S-Liteís suggested retail price is $3,999, and the X-Lite is $6,999. To demonstrate its confidence in the performance and reliability of the new line, Philips has expanded the global warranty from one to three years. This three-year parts and labor warranty includes the Philips First Choice program in the first year, offering toll-free customer support, free 48-hour roadside assistance and free delivery of all projectors on loan and repair. Projectors Designed To Fit The Boardroom To The Living Room With UGO, Philips appeals to the complete market for projectors covering the personal, meeting and boardroom spaces. The UGOís light weight allows presenters to take it on the road. The Hopper Impact series is ideal for meeting rooms or even home theatres. The Proscreen brings presentations alive in larger conference rooms. For more information about Philips, visit www.philips.com.
