Probably just some sales hype. Here is a link. It is a pico-projector that uses lasers as the light source.

Scroll down and it says: "◦Color Gamut: >200% NTSC"

With lasers, greater than 100% NTSC for sure, but greater than 200% is doubtful.

Plus: you don't WANT so much greater than sRGB/Rec 709 for video sources, or the colors will look too saturated, so the colors should be mixed by the circuitry to simulate Rec 709 primaries;
Plus: the picture from this dim device will be washed out by the least amount of ambient light unless you keep the image very small, so whatever colors it starts out with will be desaturated in actual use.

So: hype? Yes indeed.
