Mitsubishi WD500-ST & WD510U 500 Series DLP Projectors

Mitsubishi have rolled out two new models in its 500 series of projectors, the Mitsubishi WD500-ST and the WD510U – both of which are aimed specifically at the business and educational markets, use the Texas Instruments DDP 2230 DMD chip with DLP technology and offer 1280×800 resolutions paired with 16:10 aspect ratios.

In terms of distinguishing features, the WD510U and WD500-ST projectors offer contrast ratios of 2000:1 and 2500:1 respectively – the latter being intended for use as ‘short-throw’ projector - whist both offer a lamp life of a purported 4000 hours.

Connectivity-wise, both the WD510U and WD500-ST - both of which come with a built-in speaker rated at 2W - come with VGA, DVI-D (with HDCP support), PC audio and 3.5mm stereo jack, RCA for audio, video and S-video connections and an integrated Ethernet connection.

The WD510U and WD500-ST retail for around $1500 and $1700 respectively.
