Earlier this week, ViewSonic launched new high-brightness laser projectors (LSD400W, LSD400HD, and LSD400HD-ST) and the LSD300W-ST short-throw LED projector.
The LSD400 Series boasts of ViewSonic’s advanced 3rd-generation laser phosphor technology, and can deliver 4,000 ANSI Lumens with up to 49 per cent lower power consumption than comparable lamp-based projectors. The light-source lasts up to 30,000 hours, reducing maintenance and eliminating recurring lamp costs. It can project high-resolution content up to 300 inches on the screen.
The LSD300W-ST comes with the latest-generation solid-state LED technology. This enabled the projector to achieve 3,300 ANSI Lumens (3,700 centre lumens) and an extraordinary 60,000-hour lifespan, which is equivalent to over 20 years of typical classroom use without ever changing a lamp or using mercury.
This LSD300W-ST model is a short-throw (0.49) LED model. It can produce a 100-inch glare-free, shadow-free image from only 1.06 metres, perfect for space-constrained classrooms and activity-based learning zones. It supports 360-degree orientation, including floor and ceiling projection for interactive installations.
All the new ViewSonic projector models feature DLP technology with Texas Instruments DMD chips (0.65-inch on LSD300W-ST) to deliver vibrant colours without yellowing, high native contrast, and zero screen-door effect. They also support instant on/off, H/V keystone correction ±40°, and 4-corner adjustment ensure fast, distortion-free setup in any room layout.
The LSD400W and LSD400HD series are priced at Rs 81,000 and Rs 1,12,500, respectively. The LSD400HD-ST and LSD300W-ST cost Rs 1,30,500 and Rs 81,000, respectively.

Over the last several years, Google's advanced generative Artificial Intelligence (gen AI) tools have been offered to several government-run Indian Institute of Technology (IITs) and other agencies for research studies and improve services.
Google has also worked with the National Health Authority (NHA) to deploy its advanced AI to convert millions of fragmented, unstructured medical records (such as doctors' clinical and progress notes) into the international, machine-readable FHIR standard. This initiative helped patients understand their medical information better, reduce documentation burden on patients and hospitals, and inform better data-driven policy decisions for India’s public healthcare strategy.
Since 2020, Google has supported nearly 1,000 years of PhD-level research work across more than 25 leading research institutions, including premier institutes.
To further support India’s research ecosystem, Google.org, the philanthropic arm of Google, has announced to support totaling $8 million for four AI Centres of Excellence established by the Government of India, to promote 'Make AI in India and Make AI work for India'.
This funding will support research at the Centres of Excellence:
-- TANUH at IISc Bangalore will focus on developing scalable AI solutions for effective treatment of non-communicable diseases.
--Airawat Research Foundation, IIT Kanpur, will focus on pioneering research on AI to transform urban governance.
-- AI Centre of Excellence for Education, IIT Madras, will focus on developing solutions to enhance learning and teaching outcomes.
--ANNAM.AI at IIT Ropar will focus on developing data-driven solutions for agriculture and farmer welfare.
“AI is humanity’s most profound and powerful force for progress, and at Google, we see its global evolution driven by three pivotal shifts - its ability to accelerate scientific discovery, its advances augmenting human capability, and India’s unique embrace of AI’s potential. From foundational research to ecosystem deployment to scaled impact, our full-stack approach is equipping the country to lead a global AI-powered future, with innovations from India’s labs benefiting billions across the world,” said Dr Manish Gupta, Senior Research Director, Google DeepMind.
