DLP Projector Reviews

New developements in technology had brought us the fantastic picture quality, clarity, brightness, color and reliability that only DLP delivers. DLP® technology comes closer than any other display solution to reproducing the exact mirror image of its source material. With DLP® technology, home entertainment becomes the visually stunning experience it should be. Business presentations have maximum impact—whether the lights are on or off. And large-venue displays captivate their audiences with outputs of up to a whopping 15,000 lumens.
DLP BrilliantColor technology uses a new color-processing algorithm to move beyond standard 3-color processing to a 6-color process that more accurately captures the true color common in video and nature scenes. The technology enables a greater than 50% brightness increase in mid-tone images for video projectors. If you're a hi-definition video enthusiast who's been looking for a more affordable way to bring front-screen projection to your home theater or family room DLP home theater projectors are what you've been looking for.

DLP (Digital Light Processing™) typcially uses a single self-contained digital display chip, actually called a Digital Micromirror Device (DMD). The device contains millions of microscopic tilting mirrors(spaced less than one micron apart) that are tilted to either reflect light, or not, depending on the video signals minimizing the gaps between pixels. This complex, but ingenious device, actually only produces images in black and white, but a high speed rotating color wheel is introduced into the light path to transform the image into color. DLP® technology reproduces a range of colors up to 35 trillion colors.

Better technology allows projectors weighing as little as two pounds that are bright enough for lights-on presentations.
Thanks to their all-digital technology, DLP projectors also score high marks for durability and easy setup.
