Both projectors include Windows Network Projector functionality, allowing users to share information from their PCs via a wired or wireless network. Additionally, remote desktop connection allows for the complete control of a remote computer by connecting a keyboard and mouse to the unit's USB input.

The NP905 and NP901 W also include the geometric correction tool, allowing for the projection of cylinders and spheres without distortion; color management that automatically adjusts for input type; HDMI, composite, and S-video inputs; as well as audio inputs for every allotted video input.

The NP905 offers XGA (1,024 x 768) native resolution, a brightness of 3,000 lumens, a contrast ratio of 500:1, and up to 3,500 hours of lamp life when used in eco Mode.
