In a world where we’re constantly bombarded with high-end projectors boasting 4K resolution and smart capabilities, the NEC NP200 stands out with its straightforward, no-frills approach. At 2100 lumens, this DLP projector might not be the flashiest option, but it raises an interesting question: do we really need all that extra tech, or is simplicity the key to a better viewing experience? With its 1080i SXGA+ resolution and compatibility across various formats, the NP200 invites us to reconsider what we truly value in a projector. Join me as we dive into its features, performance, and whether this model could be the underdog you didn’t know you needed.

I'm considering the NEC NP200 projector and would love to get some insights from anyone who's used it. I'm particularly interested in the picture quality—does the 2100 lumens really deliver vibrant colors and sharp images, especially in well-lit rooms? How's the sound quality? Does the built-in speaker cut it, or do I need external audio for a better experience?

Also, how does the SXGA+ resolution hold up for movies and presentations? I’m curious about the overall system performance as well. Are there any potential downsides I should be aware of, like issues with connectivity or portability? Any feedback would be hugely appreciated! Thanks!
