Latest 2011 Models of DLP Projectors Features

Products makes viewing quality, High Definition (HD) projection in 3D at home a reality with the announcement of multiple brands shipping1080p 3D projectors. 3D 1080p from DLP provides consumers the ability to be immersed in film-quality images for everything from movies to gaming to sports, all powered by the dynamic DLP chip structure. Brands including Samsung and Sharp are showcasing the current 1080p 3D systems, which are now available for purchase, at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) this week.

The 1080p format provides viewers with a quality, HD picture that is characterized by crisp images and cleaner, sharper detail than traditional set-ups, adding to the consumer viewing experience. Additionally, these newest models from Samsung and Sharp have been designed to handle all of the latest 3D formats, including Blu-ray, to provide consumers with greater flexibility when connecting with 3D content.

“3D displays from DLP continue to offer superior color quality and reliability, which is why consumers continue to choose our projection solutions, from cinema houses to neighborhood homes and everything in between,” said Roger Carver, Manager, DLP Front Projection. “The innovation of the DLP chip design is what makes DLP the only one able to produce 3D in a single projector solution, and the reason consumers will continue to see innovations from us and our customers.”

1080p from DLP brings bold contrast ratios, inky black levels, vibrant color and placement flexibility, all with the filter-free, consistent color, and unique mirrored chip design that has made DLP famous. One new application of this technology can be seen in the Mitsubishi 92” DLP HDTV being shown at CES this year. From this television, which is nearly 1/30 the size of a cinema screen, to devices that fit in the palm of your hand, to projectors that power IMAX, DLP continues to innovate and deliver the best in projection technology.

Last year, “Avatar” started the tidal wave of 3D viewing experiences that has since spilled into the classroom. Utilizing the same Academy Award-winning DLP projector technology for cinema productions, the company has extended its leadership in 3D cinema technology to projectors for schools as well. School districts across the U.S. and beyond are incorporating 3D learning into lessons, providing an engaging learning environment for teachers and students. The ability of DLP technology to provide both 2D and 3D images in a single projector offer enormous cost savings and opportunities to schools.

The projectors look good from the point of view of using them in all the conditions. You can get the images of high brightness on the white background. Some of projectors of BenQ are already successful in the market. BenQ hopes to get deeper in the consumer market with its new products.
In the conference halls, Gary Shapiro and Ivan Seidenberg presented their speeches. The keynotes focused on the state of consumer electronics industry. Other distinguished speakers include Rupert Stadler of AUDI AG, Boo-Keun Yoon who heads the Visual Display Business of Samsung. This is very impressive beginning of CES 2011. 

I've integrated on this particular page DLP Projector Reviews of many of the primary manufacturers in this specific technological know-how. I have only shown a sample of some of the very best and newest systems that these companies produce. Front projection HDTV are actually different from rear projection HDTV in many ways but are actually more sought after these days for home theater enjoyment.

Understanding Front-projection Television sets - DLP

DLP-based projectors are available at several prices, resolutions, and image qualities, so it is tougher than usual to be able to generalize in regard to these products. This wouldn't prohibit me personally from just saying, in general, that a majority of DLP projectors can produce a better image compared to their LCD counterparts, and their black-level overall performance is also often slightly considerably better. DLP are afflicted by the same rainbow appearance as their rear-projection brethren. This effect is barely detectable, nevertheless in the more current versions. The more highly-priced three-chip choices (which happens to be how many chips are used within the movie theaters) will not. That's mainly because three-chip varieties split the actual color array into trillions of hues.

In the past, 720p resolution DLP units have actually cost substantially greater than the LCD competition, however in more recently available products, a large variety of more affordable 720p DLP projectors have now started to hit the home market. They can still cost a bit more than the LCD and almost always will not offer characteristics which can include lens shift, but even so, they are destined to seriously increase the popularity of HDTV-resolution DLP models.

Still at the other side of the spectrum, genuine 1080p resolution DLP projectors can be found available that will cost you a little more and perform amazingly well. The increased resolution associated with 1080p is especially obvious anytime any picture is blown up to larger dimensions.

You can find quite a few questions that you must ask yourself prior to shopping for a DLP® projector. Included in these questions are:

* Should I mount my DLP® projector inside a ceiling mount, fixture, or set it on a tabletop?

* Am I able to decrease the lighting within the room at all times of the day so that it's bright enough for my home?

* What important features are included that will make my DLP® projector easy to operate?

* What will be the clearest image obtainable and can this be adjusted?

* What about lamp life? How much time is the lamp expected to keep working and just how much does a replacement cost? 

Optoma has shown a 3D projector adapter, the 3D-XL. It converts suitable DLP projectors from 2D to 3D, and at £249.99 may well be a cheaper option than replacing your existing model with a 3D version.

The 3D-XL is designed to work with DLP projectors featuring Ti's DLP-Link technology, which allows a projector and 3D glasses to sync without an external emitter (the sync signal bounces off the projection screen). The projector must be able to display a 120Hz frame-sequential 3D source, and must have an HDMI input, and the glasses must be DLP-Link compliant too. Optima has 14 suitable projector models in its range, and is supplying a list of other suitable models via its website.

The 3D-XL simply connects between your Blu-ray source and projector, automatically detecting 3D material and switching the projector to 3D mode. The downside is that it isn’t capable of displaying 1080p 3D images; it displays at 720p/120 Hz. Theoretically you could combine two projectors, two 3D-XLs and a polarizing filter to create a 1080p system.

The HCC team saw the 3D-XL in action at an exclusive press launch, and our initial impressions were very positive, with a variety of content including movies, games and Sky 3D displaying a steady and impressive 3D effect. Our final verdict will have to wait till we get our hands on a review sample - UK launch is scheduled for January 2011.

BenQ's DLP Projectors

The SH960 is an ultra-bright professional model and is suitable for locations with abundant natural light. It has a brightness of 6,000 ANSI lm with a contrast ratio of 3000:1 and a complete 1.04-billion-color palette.

They feature a Zoom Ratio of 1.5:1 and rated brightness of 2,000 and 1,800 ANSI lm, respectively. Both have dual High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) inputs. All three models have a resolution of 1,920x1,080 p (10980p) for an aspect ratio of 16:9.

BenQ will launch the W1100 in the market in February 2011, while W1200 will be marketed in March 2011. The SH960 will be available in the market from July 2011.

Sharp just announced its first 3D projector, the XV-Z17000, at CEDIA. Due early next year, the company is holding back pricing information until CES but wasn't shy about mentioning mentioning it works with active shutter glasses using either DLP Link or IR syncing technology by bouncing an IR signal off the screen the picture is projected onto. It packs two HDMI 1.4a inputs and specs include a measured 30,000:1 contrast ratio and 1,600 ANSI lumens brightness. Check the press release after the break for the rest of the details currently available, we'll be taking another careful look at this one in January.
