Panasonic has announcedthe release of 2 new compact 3LCD projectors, the TH-P1SD and the TH-LB60NT.

The TH-P1SD is a projector for both professional (presentations) and leasure (video) use. It measures 234x65x188mm (B5 format) and weighs 1.3kg and offers a VGA resolution (800×600), 1500 lumens and a 400:1 contrast ratio. What’s particular about this device is its SD slot, so you don’t have to hook it up to a PC to show your PowerPoint presentation. Needless to say that you can project your pictures stored onto the SD card.

The TH-LB60NT is a more business-oriented device with its 327x75x233mm and 2.6kg, 1024×768 resolution, 3200 lumens and 400:1 contrast ratio. this projector has a wireless b/g connection, so you can project image/video and sound wirelessly from your PC. Another very interesting feature is that it can receive and display 16 different presentations from 16 different PC’s.

Both models offer “Daylight View 2″ that allow a better visibility in a well-lit environment (the manufacturer claims a performace that is 150% better than before).
