NEC launches its first 4H UHD filter free Projectors
NEC Display Solutions announced today the NP-PA653UL and NP-PA803UL installation projectors, the world's first filter-free LCD laser models on the market.
The projectors' laser light sources and sealed optical engines prevent the accumulation of dust particles and give users 20,000 hours of maintenance-free performance. Delivering 6,500 lumens and 8,000 lumens of brightness, respectively, the PA Series projectors give schools, museums, corporations, retailers and other organizations clear, readable images, and high, consistent light output.
NEC Display's filter-less operation represents both a technical design and an industry breakthrough. Facing less projector downtime and fewer service repairs, users can maximize their technology investments and the applications available to them.
"Built on innovation, NEC Display is always exploring ways to reduce downtime and elevate the user experience," said Richard McPherson, Senior Product Manager of Projectors at NEC Display. "With no lamps or maintenance required, users get to enjoy the PA Series' consistent color and uniform brightness while focusing their attention on advancing creative, educational and business objectives."
Among the other benefits of the new PA Series WUXGA projectors:
- Improved picture processing capabilities with NEC's unique Scaler Chip, which manages a 4K/60p input and shares signal output with multi daisy-chained connected projectors
- Rec2020 color conversion for clear, readable images
- Image noise reduction, de-interlacing, scaling and full 10-bit color processing for better overall viewing experience
- Up to 8,000:1 contrast ratio
- Variety of inputs and outputs, including Dual HDMI, DisplayPort with HDCP and HDBaseT with HDCP
- Flexible installation options with 360-degree positioning support in any direction
- Interchangeable lenses (NP40ZL, NP41ZL and NP42ZL) with NP-PA653U, NP-PA803U, NP-PA853W and NP-PA903X projectors, motorized zoom and focus
The NP-PA653UL projector will be available in April 2017 at a minimum advertised price of $7,779, and the NP-PA803UL projector will be available in August 2017. Both projectors ship with a 3-year limited parts and labor warranty.

I keep looking and hoping too. Still that is cheaper than I was expecting for a laser based projector with that many lumens!
Probably another couple of years for prices to really start dropping, when prices about halve I'll be buying

Why not get 4x 1080p projectors? You can get some of those for a few hundred dollars. Unlike LCD displays, projectors don't suffer from bezels, so it's relatively easy to get the image quality you want by just simply buying more than one. Pretty much every 4K compatible GPU these days supports 4 displays.
There are benefits to buying multiple projectors too. For example, you can more effectively do a curved display without screwing up focal points too much.
