Press Information Toshiba Presents Home Cinema Novelty: LCDProjector TLP-MT3 – Convincing Technology and Design Neuss, January 2001 At the beginning of this year, Toshiba’s Professional Visual Products division presents its latest home cinema projector TLP-MT3. The successor of the successful TLP-MT1 model offers excellent home cinema qualities with a brightness of 850 ANSI lumens and a contrast ratio of 400:1. The high aperture ratio panels integrated into this LCD device ensure particularly bright image display. Thanks to its reduced ventilator noise of only 32 dB, the TLP-MT3 can also be used for smaller audiences without spoiling their joy with any disturbing noises. The 120 W UHP lamp with a service life of up to 4,000 hours is entirely in line with Toshiba’s efforts to reduce total cost of ownership. The new model therefore offers best prerequisites for use in private environments.
