The NP L50W model is a DLP projector from Nec, intended for Micro-Portabel applications, offering 500 ANSI lumens, a contrast of 2500:1 at WXGA 1280 x 800. The LED unit of this model is rated for up to 20000 hours of runtime – calculating to 13.7 years at four hours of use per day. Regarding projection size, the value of 500 ANSI lumens allows for an image width of up to 227 cm in darkened environments. In rooms with ambient light, the image width should be correspondingly reduced to a maximum of 151 cm. Also on board is a local media player that allows reading and playing content directly from storage media. The projector was released in 2011 and is officially no longer distributed by Nec. In our projector directory, the device still generates high interest.

Application
Micro-Portabel | Small mobile presentations. Very narrow picture width and rooms with very little light.
Great device, especially for its time (as of 2018, mine is now 8 years old). Very mobile, insensitive (can also be switched on and off via power on AC or power off). About the picture: sufficiently bright (of course not a daylight projector, but sufficient in darkened rooms), sufficient sharpness (no FullHD, but no difference to TV for movies in SD). Unfortunately a DLP projector and even if 3 LEDs (RGB) are present still sequential image build-up and if people (like me) are sensitive to this it comes from time to time to the rainbow effect (rarely in dark scenes with corresponding image changes) - disturbs only slightly and has nothing to do with this model, but is system-related. I would buy the device (2000) again at any time!
