Toshiba's All-in-One Multimedia DVD Projector Is Shipping

Toshiba's Digital Products Division unveils the TDP-ET20U DLP (digital light processing) mobile multimedia DVD projector, Toshiba's first all-in-one multimedia DVD projector featuring "extreme short projection" for home entertainment, business or academic settings.

Suited for movie nights, sporting events, video games, regular TV viewing as well as classroom and business presentations, the TDP-ET20U displays up to a 100-inch diagonal screen image from just 3.9 feet away for an unobstructed viewing experience whether placed on a desk, coffee table or classroom A/V cart. The integrated DVD player allows users to play movies directly from the projector, and 5.1-channel Dolby Pro Logic surround sound provides cinema-like quality sound. Unique to all-in-one projectors, an RGB port is included for easy connection to a PC. An HDMI port is also included, providing an interface between any audio/video source such as a set-top box for cable TV viewing, digital television (DTV), or a PC as well.

The projector comes packaged in a sleek, black piano finish casing. All input and output connectors are conveniently located on the front of the projector, avoiding a maze of cabling behind the unit and away from viewers' reach.

Weighing 10.6 pounds, the compact TDP-ET20U offers 1, 100 lumens, a 2000:1 high contrast ratio, and widescreen format with adjustable aspect ratio from 16:9 to 4:3. Additional ports include an S-video, composite video and component video via three RCA jacks. Whether it sits on the coffee table in the family room, on the conference room table or in the classroom, the TDP-ET20U assures the best results by projecting the image upward at a 130-degree angle. The TDP-ET20U also features a plus or minus 40-degree vertical and 30-degree horizontal digital keystone correction that projects a square image.
