Viewsonic introduced today five new DLP projectors best suited towards educators and business professionals. An example of these new projectors is the PJ260D, priced at around $1,000.

The Viewsonic PJ260D make use of Texas Instruments’ BrilliantColor Technology to reportedly deliver “richer, more lifelike images by using a wider range of the color spectrum.” It is designed to be portable, available in a lightweight body. Viewsonic says it can automatically synchronize with the input source and projects in 1024×768 XGA resolution.

Consumers are starting to watch more movies and TV shows on their monitors these days. Rather than get up and hang out in the rec room where little Billy might be playing on his PlayStation or Grandpa is watching the news, we’re finding it more convenient to stay seated, a click away from downloading the new episode of “Lost” or sliding a movie disc in our DVD/HD-DVD/Blu-ray drive. Viewsonic is going after that segment of the home market with the launch of its Diamani DUO series of monitors which are now on sale.
