Projectors are one of the fastest-growing hardware segments in the personal computer industry.
According to IDC, a research firm, the projector industry is targeted to increase from 750,000 units shipped in 1999 to 2.4 million units by 2004. The light image is so bright that the presenter does not need to dim the lights in the room during a presentation, under most circumstances. The new projector supports DVI-I and analog connectors, and is HDTV compatible. It can project images from a distance of up to 30 feet and is optimized for use with all IBM A, T, and X Series ThinkPads. The projector lamp is designed to last for as many as 2,000 hours or more and needs little maintenance.
