NEC NP-ME403U: 4000-Lumen WUXGA LCD Classroom Projector (16:10)

In classrooms and training spaces, the NEC NP-ME403U delivers bright, reliable projection with a sharp 1920x1200 native resolution. The ME Series uses LCD technology and a breakthrough lamp design to provide essential features that help you connect with your audience without friction and at an affordable price. With a generous brightness of 4000 ANSI lumens, the NP-ME403U maintains legible text, vibrant color, and clear graphics even in spaces with some ambient light. The 16:10 aspect ratio optimizes widescreen content alongside documents and teacher-led demonstrations. And because the projector is ceiling-mountable, you can position it out of the way—above the classroom, reducing clutter and glare while preserving an unobstructed view for every student.

• Crystal-clear WUXGA image: The NP-ME403U features a native resolution of 1920x1200, delivering text that stays crisp and diagrams that read with precision. This makes it ideal for textbooks, spreadsheets, slides, and detailed content like floor plans or engineering drawings. The 16:10 format supports side-by-side comparisons, classroom dashboards, and multi-panel content without letterboxing, so students can see more of what you show without scrolling or zooming.
• Bright, reliable performance: With 4000 ANSI lumens, this NEC projector cuts through mid-day glare and fills the screen with vivid color and strong contrast. The LCD imaging engine provides solid color rendition and consistent brightness across the image, helping keep large classes engaged. Whether you’re projecting in a standard classroom or a larger training space, the NP-ME403U is designed to maintain legibility for audience members at the back of the room.
• Flexible connectivity for modern and legacy devices: HDMI input pairs with computers, media players, and streaming devices for sharp 1080p and above, while VGA and other legacy connections support older laptops and classroom tools. A built-in speaker can handle basic announcements in smaller spaces, though external audio options remain available if your room requires higher sound output. The wide input compatibility enables quick setup for daily lessons and guest speakers, reducing downtime between activities.
• Easy installation and maintenance: The NP-ME403U is designed for ceiling mounting, enabling a clean, space-saving setup that keeps sightlines clear. Its ergonomic design simplifies alignment, focus adjustment, and keystone correction to produce a perfectly rectangular image. Accessing the lamp and filters for routine maintenance is straightforward, minimizing classroom downtime and service interruptions. The robust chassis supports secure mounting in a variety of ceiling types, so you can install with confidence and safety.
• Smart power and eco-friendly operation: This projector offers energy-saving features that help lower operating costs while reducing heat output. ECO mode and other power-management options are designed to keep the device cooler and quieter, creating a more comfortable learning environment. In classrooms with extended projection hours, these features contribute to longer lamp life and lower total cost of ownership without compromising image quality.
