High Brightness with Extreme Efficiency
For long-lasting imaging performance with outstanding colour accuracy, the Sharp NEC A201U-B delivers exceptional brightness and precision. Designed for maximum efficiency, it combines powerful performance with impressive cost, space, and energy savings.
Built upon NEC’s renowned engineering standards, the A201U-B inherits the design quality of the NEC PA Series while maintaining compatibility with existing PA lenses — reducing e-waste and total cost of ownership. This next-generation model exemplifies Sharp/NEC’s commitment to quality, service, and sustainability.
As the first and only LCD projector featuring RB laser technology, the A201U-B produces lifelike tones with reduced power consumption while achieving near DCI-P3 colour performance. Its IP5X-rated sealed optical engine prevents dust ingress, ensuring consistent image quality and eliminating routine maintenance.
With advanced installation flexibility, ProAssist software integration, and a compact chassis, the A201U-B is ideal for large venues, education, corporate spaces, and museum environments that demand reliable, high-impact projection.
Benefits
