08 Jan, 2011, 3:01 am IST | by Siddharth Basrur | Projectors

LG Electronics today unveiled the HW300T, a Portable LED projector, which is the first to incorporate the DLNA technology. This projector also has an ATSC Tuner and provides access to online content.

“The HW300T’s outstanding connectivity enables users to link right up with a vast array of entertainment options,” said Havis Kwon, President and CEO of LG Home Entertainment Company. “The projector’s exceptional brightness, eco-friendliness and compact design also enable users to enjoy the HW300T in the optimal environment.”

New portable projector with great capabilities

The HW300T is LG’s first portable projector compatible with all DLNA-certified devices, which means you will now be able to wirelessly transfer stored digital content from devices such as PCs and Blu-ray players and watch it through this projector.  It also includes a built-in ATSC tuner (also included with the HX350T), allowing you to watch Free HD Broadcast signals without the need for a separate external content source.

And if that’s not enough, the HW300T also includes a broadband function, which provides consumers access to a host of internet services such as Accuweather, Twitter and Facebook. In addition, the HW300T can also access and play DivX format HD content via its USB connection.
 
The HW300T has 1200 x 800 WXGA resolution, which is combined with a contrast ratio of 2,000:1 and has a brightness of 250 ANSI-lumens. The life expectancy for the HW300T is 30,000 hours and the LED light source is also built without the use of mercury, so it seems to be pretty energy-efficient as well. The HW300T weighs in at just 0.8 kg.
