The PJ359w Ultra-Portable Performance Leading Projector is Specially
Designed to be Compatible with Wide-Screen Format Laptops

21st Nov, 2008 - ViewSonic® Corp., a worldwide leader in display
technologies, will be launching their first wide-screen laptop compatible
projector PJ359w. The impressive ultra-portable WXGA 3LCD PJ359w, featuring
HDMI 1.3 connectivity and supporting HD signals up to 1080p, is the first
projector specially designed to be compatible with widescreen-format laptops
and meet the increasing demands of consumers as the transition to widescreen
laptops rapidly grows.

has risen dramatically while the demand for regular 4:3 notebooks has
plummeted. In 2002, 100% of businesses were using 4:3 laptops but within
three and a half years 50% of this market had switched to using widescreen.
95% of consumers are currently working on widescreen laptops with the
remaining 5% of regular laptops user predicted to fizzle out entirely by
2010.[1]

for compatible wide-screen format laptops and imaging applications of
European businesses and government organizations today and tomorrow," said
Thorsten Helmich, European Product Marketing Manager Digital Projectors. "We

their introduction in 2002 and by launching the WXGA PJ359w we are meeting
the needs of all our customers in this region."

lumens and 1280x800 WXGA resolution for crisp, detailed images in any
lighting situation and its HDMI 1.3 high definition signal input ensures the

keystone correction of +/-30 degrees ensuring that images are perfectly
proportioned, while the preset screen mode provides the best possible
picture for the users projection surface. The slim design PJ359w weighs just
