Smaller and lighter than many laptop computers, the bCool Series projectors are built to withstand heavy wear, according to Philips, with a rugged magnesium alloy case. The bCool projectors come with a padded, soft carrying bag and cable pouch. The Philips bCool Series features a wide choice of video and data inputs, including composite video, S-video, component video, RGB data (D15 VGA compatible), as well as DVD-D and USB inputs. Philips' SmartSet auto-alignment system and highly intuitive menus are designed to make set-up fast and easy, even for the novice user. A zoom lens provides additional flexibility for changing screen sizes in varying room conditions. In addition, the bCool series features Philips' exclusive PAS (Philips Air System) and SmartDimmer that work in unison to reduce audible noise to 33dB for the bCool XG1 and 32dB for the bCool SV1. The projectors also feature Digital Zoom, Digital Freeze, Digital Keystone Correction, and Picture in Picture. The Philips bCool series features a 180-watt short arc, high-efficiency lamp that is end-user replaceable. Under normal usage mode, the average lamp life of the bCool series is 1,500 hours, but this can be extended to 2,000 hours in SmartDimmer mode. Lamp life is conserved with the special SmartSave feature that automatically switches the projector off when not in use. Additionally, the projectors are backed by a three-year limited warranty covering parts and labor. The bCool XG1 projector will be available in August and will retail for $3,650. The bCool SV1 projector will be available in September with a retail price of $2,250.
