12-Feb-01

Philips Creative Display Solutions (CDS) showcased three new projectors at CES that are ultra silent, up to 20 percent brighter and almost 30 percent lighter than previous models.The new cBright XGA/SVGA Multimedia Projector Series includes the cBright XG1 Impact (1500 ANSI lumens), the cBright XG1 (1100 ANSI lumens) and the cBright SV1 (1400 ANSI lumens). The XG1 Impact has a suggested retail price of $6,999, the XG1 has a suggested retail price of $4,199 and the SV1 is at $5,299. At the heart of the cBright Series is the new and innovative 200W UHP Lampô, which produces pin-sharp images and excellent pictures. Even in normal daylight conditions thereís no need for lighting adjustments. At just 7.9 pounds, the projectors are more than 3 pounds lighter than previous models. Additionally, the projectors feature a smaller footprint. ""A projector plays an integral role in a meeting room - it must perform well without being obtrusive and distracting,"" said Marjon de Groot, Product Marketing Director, Philips CDS. ""As a world leader in the design and manufacturing of projectors, Philips CDS designed the cBright to provide powerful performance and superior image quality yet remain stylish, silent and easy to move."" Improved Peace Of Mind And ReliabilityPhilips designed the cBright series to accommodate increasingly mobile business needs by improving component reliability and durability to ensure easy transportation without worries. 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.Easy-To-Use OperationRecognizing that the only sound heard in a meeting should be that of the presenter, Philips designed the cBright Series with Philips Air System ( PASô ) heat diffusion technology. PASô significantly reduces sound emitted from the projector, even with the powerful 200W UHP lampô inside. The projector also maintains a low operating temperature, making it ideal for use in smaller meeting rooms. The cBright Series is easy to operate for novice to expert users. Images are optimally positioned on the screen automatically through the Auto Image feature. Digital keystone correction compensates for any image distortion, even when projecting at extreme angles. The projectors also feature USB plug-and-play compatibility for a wide variety of peripherals. Each projector comes with a unique one-cable concept for data, USB sound and a mouse connection, wide PC, Mac, and video connectivity, and is compatible with widescreen (16:9) sources. Award-Winning DesignThe cBright Series features a design that will accent any meeting room rather than detract from the decor. The cBrightís design is so impressive that Philips received the prestigious GIO Award 2000, a global award for industrial design. Contemporary colors have not been overlooked in adding flair to the new models. For example, the XGA Impact sports a striking silver finish, while other models feature a subtle violet hue.
