It seems that NEC is giving the Middle East a bit of projector love with their recently announced NP4100 and NP4100W projectors.

The NP4100 will feature a 1024 x 768 resolution, a 2,100:1 contrast ratio, DLP technology and 6200 ANSI lumens. The NP4100W on the other hand will feature a 1280 x 800 resolution, 16:10 aspect ration, 5500 ANSI lumens, a 2,100:1 contrast ratio and DLP technology.

You can expect to find 5BNC, RGB, DVI-D composite, S-Video, component and a wide array of audio ports on both projectors. Hell, NEC will even throw in 3-watt stereo speakers for times when you’re away from an external source.

With a growing market in the Middle East brewing, Panansonic has announced the release of 9 LCD and 8 Plasma HD Vierra TVs to address the potential market and growing demand for the said products.

Panasonic now offers three distinct advantages for the consumer, including enhanced unique features like ‘Full-time Full HD’ and VIERA Image Viewer function for the playback of pictures & videos by SD card which the manufacturer claim to be world’s first in a flat panel TV.

“The way people see TV in the Middle East has dramatically evolved, and our products are designed to match our customer’s changing lifestyles,” said Abby Thomas, Senior Manager, Consumer Electronics Department, Panasonic Marketing Middle East. “Panasonic is committed to making leading entertainment technology readily available to our customers.”

This year’s VIERA models feature enhanced VIERA Image Viewer function. The VIERA Image Viewer now becomes a standard feature on all current models.

Consumers can now enjoy still pictures and videos at their fingertips, with a direct playback option on their VIERA.
