High Contrast Ratio Is the Key to Crisp, Sharp Image Quality.

Contrast ratio is the key factor in sharpness, a crucial quality for projectors used in business and education where superior visibility is required for charts and

small-font documents. The V-1100 offers superior contrast performance enabled by the DLP

This PLUS projector delivers the best-in-class* contrast ratio of 2000:1 and thus the sharpest image quality.

Black looks truly black.

A high-brightness but low-contrast projector displays a whitish image with poor visibility. Visibility largely depends on how dark black is reproduced, and is critical in projecting business and education materials which involve heavy use of black text and lines. Higher contrast means more visibility and ensures a crisp image with pure black text.

2000:1 contrast ratio projector

Pictures appear clear and vibrant.

Because of an optical illusion called the Mach band effect, the human eye perceives a change in brightness between two neighboring pixels more intensely than the actual change in the amount of light. High-contrast projectors accurately reproduce the difference between the lightest and darkest portions of an image, providing crisp pictures. Look at the photos below. The photo with the black border appears sharper than the photo with the white border, even though the photos themselves are actually the same.

The diagram below describes how the human eye perceives the change in brightness between black and white.

Charts set against photos are delivered with excellent clarity.

Combined images of colorful charts and photos sometimes look flat and unclear when projected, even if they look beautiful on the computer screen. But this never happens with PLUS projectors. Our projectors’ high-contrast ratio ensures rich tonal gradations, allowing a chart to stand out sharply from a background photo.
