Business Wire, August 29, 2006

IRVINE, Calif. -- Priced at $1,199, TDP-T45U Projector Offers 2,500 ANSI Lumens, Multimedia Capabilities, and Dual Computer Connectivity for Mobile Presenters, Educators and Home Entertainment

Toshiba's Digital Products Division, a division of Toshiba America Information Systems, Inc., today introduced the TDP-T45U DLP(R) (digital light processing) mobile projector, a high-performance, portable presentation tool designed for small-to-medium businesses, educators, mobile presenters, video gamers, and weekend movie and sports enthusiasts. The product has an estimated single unit price (ESUP) of $1,199(1).

With 2,500 ANSI lumens, a razor-sharp contrast ratio of 2000:1, and XGA 1024 x 768 resolution, the TDP-T45U offers the clarity, brightness, and color fidelity for impressive presentations. Easy to set-up and operate, the TDP-T45U mobile projector features a lightweight design, and is ideal for presenters who demand quality and portability without sacrificing performance.

The TDP-T45U includes a wide range of multimedia capabilities and connectivity options such as two computer inputs, composite-video, dual component and S-video inputs, as well as audio in and variable output capabilities. The unit also includes a 1-watt speaker for enhanced multimedia sound.

Weighing just 6.6 pounds, users can easily transport the projector between classrooms, offices or when traveling. Ready to use out of the box, the TDP-T45U mobile projector includes a fully loaded remote control for seamless, professional presentations. Users simply plug the projector in and can begin making presentations.

A special monitor output connector allows users to view presentations from an external display, in addition to what is projected on the screen. This feature allows presenters to face their audience directly, rather than turning around to read slides as they appear on the screen.

"The high brightness, multimedia connectivity options and light weight make the TDP-T45U flexible enough for both professional presentations on the road and stunning digital entertainment at home for an affordable price," said Sam Malik, director of projector sales and marketing, Toshiba Digital Products Division.

The Toshiba TDP-T45U will be available in retail stores in late September and is available for order through Toshiba's enterprise sales team and authorized distributors, resellers, VARs, or mail-order outlets, and at www.toshibadirect.com.
