Panasonic LB10 Series – Warranty
One of the standout features of the LB10 series is the warranty that comes with each projector. Panasonic offers a 3-year warranty on all parts and labor, which is longer than most projectors on the market. Additionally, the “Zip-it” Panasonic overnight loaner program is included. If your unit should fail under warranty, Panasonic will send you a loaner to use, and when your machine comes back, you return the loaner. This program is unmatched by any other major name vendor.
LB10SVU LCD Projector
This projector is a great choice for education and business users on a tight budget. With 1600 lumens and LCD powered, it’s a step up from entry-level projectors. It’s also portable, making it easy to take on the go. The LB10SVU has a monitor out feature and an exceptional warranty, making it highly coveted by education users.
LB10SU LCD Projector
This is the 2000 lumen version of the LB10SVU. It’s an excellent choice for those who need 2000 lumens and are in an SVGA environment. If you’re a non-education user, and shopping for a true XGA projector, you should consider the next projector, the LB10VU.
LB10VU LCD Projector
For the budget-conscious, the LB10VU is an excellent choice. With 1600 lumens and a great price, it’s tough to beat. The LB10VU is very small in size, making it perfect for mobile presenters. It also has extra features such as split screen, fast powerup/setup and unplug, quiet operation, and a monitor out feature. From a value standpoint, the LB10VU is the favorite of the series and can take on any of the 2000 lumen or under DLP’s in terms of pure performance and color.
LB10U LCD Projector
This is the first really small LCD projector that combines very quiet operation, loads of features, and innovative ideas like a cooling fan that runs after the projector is unplugged. The street price is under $2000, making it the standard-bearer of the line and likely the best seller. There’s nothing out there that is smaller, lighter, and more powerful.
LB10NTU LCD Projector
The LB10NTU’s wireless networking works well, with most PowerPoint “slides” being displayed in well under 1 second. It’s an excellent choice, and the competition that comes to mind is Epson’s 735c, which received a Hot Product Award for Best Lightweight Projector in December ’03. The Panasonic stacks up nicely, with more features, the same 2000 lumens, definitely quieter, an economy mode, and several hundred dollars less.
Conclusion
the Panasonic LB10 series is a great choice for anyone in the market for a projector. With a variety of models to choose from and an exceptional warranty, you’re sure to find the perfect fit for your needs.
