High brightness with extreme efficiency

For long-lasting imaging performance at high brightness with movie-quality colour rendition, the Sharp A201U encapsulates efficiency. Every aspect of its design forges maximum productivity, achieving remarkable performance alongside impressive cost, space and energy saving.

Born of NEC heritage, the A201U presents the same high quality Japanese design and engineering standards as its predecessor, the NEC PA Series, delivering on Sharp/NEC’s promise of quality, service and sustainability. This next generation model utilises legacy PA Series lenses securing against e-waste and reducing costs.

The first and only LCD projector featuring RB laser technology, this innovative solution is highly efficient in producing the most intensely natural tones, minimising power consumption whilst delivering brilliant, almost DCI-P3 colour performance at high brightness levels. Consistently superior imaging quality is safeguarded with an IP5X rated optical engine, sealed against even the finest dust particles and eliminating maintenance demands.

Featuring advanced installation capabilities, easily managed with full ProAssist support, the compact Sharp A201U delivers the reliability, functionality and value as demanded by higher education, corporate, leisure and museum applications.
