Features

• Newly developed LVDS (Low voltage differential signal) chip eliminates Color Breaking phenomena common with previous generation DLPTM projectors

• Use of high-output lamp realizes both high color purity and high brightness. Natural images made possible by high color reproducibility can be created with high-brightness, powerful expression capabilities

• Realizes vivid images using the latest image quality circuitry

• New I/P conversion algorithm enhances the performance of the motion detect I/P conversion

• Extensive improvements on the jagged edges or slanted lines in moving images

• New Edge Up-Scaling

• As a result of reducing jagged edges and flickering when up-scaling edges of slanted lines, even signals not reaching a panel resolution of 480i/p can be projected by converting them to 1280x720 resolution images

• New Film Mode Function

• 3:2 pull down enhancement for not only 480i and 576i signals, but HDTV 1080i signals as well

• White balance

• Use of a DVI-HDCP terminal enables all processes from input to signal processing and projection to be performed digitally, resulting in the realization of all-digital projection without any data loss due to analog conversion. This is also supports the building of home theaters using HTPC
