Furthermore, contrary to what you might expect from LCD, there was no problem getting a satisfying black level out of the looked truly black and white. You can watch this projector for hours without ever getting that "gee I wish it had just a bit more snap" feeling. with its DLP engine had a touch better contrast, but the Mits was a very close second. Those who think that LCD can''t produce excellent blacks haven''t seen the X300. Even though black level was very good, shadow detail is still a weakness with LCDs. The Davis was the stronger performer here. All three of the LCD products reviewed here could use a boost in shadow detail. The displayed a noticeable array of scaling and NTSC motion artifacts in straight composite and S-video. However, the worked beautifully to stabilize the picture and remove most of the motion artifacts. As a 10% incremental investment, we would not consider watching NTSC source material on the There is another accessory option that works well with the Basically, this is a filter that fits over the projection lens. It has the ability to virtually eliminate pixel structure and other hard edges in a digital image. It smooths out the image and makes it look much more film-like. The effect on the is truly exciting.

Picking the right resolution Here are some basic guidelines for choosing the right resolution: Pick a resolution that is adequate for your presentation. If you use mostly type presentations, you can save money by going with a lower (SVGA) resolution. If you are, however, presenting information with a lot of numeric data, you may want an XGA resolution. And for highly detailed and technical presentations, such as engineering drawings, you may need the higher resolution SXGA projector. Get a projector that matches the native resolution of your computer. If you have a computer with SVGA resolution, then an SVGA projector will give the sharpest and cleanest image. Most of the projectors today can project input signals other than their native resolution, however, there may be a loss of sharpness and detail in the process. If you have a high resolution computer and a matching resolution projector is out of your price range, choose a projector that is one step down in resolution. Projectors convert a different input format to its native output format through a process called "scaling". Some projector are very good at scaling, thus making the fuzziness in the image very minor. The quality of scaling varies among different projectors.

LCD projector technology on the home theater market. Hopefully that will change sometime soon. Billed as an "all-purpose" multimedia projector, it does have a lot to offer. At only 13 lbs, this sleek little light cannon serves up screaming bright images in data and graphics, in composite and S-video, in component video, and The on-screen menu is much better than on earlier models. Each control is intuitive and easy to operate, and the menu boxes take up very little screen area. Furthermore, the menu boxes can be relocated from the upper left corner to the lower right corner to provide flexible viewing of the screen while adjustments are being made. You would think that with the heavy duty light output of 2000 ANSI lumens, an industrial strength blower would be required to cool the system. Not so. There are four color temperature options on the Three are factory preset, and the fourth you can roll your own. On our review sample, we measured the first setting at D7500, the second, at D10500, and the third at D5900. On the fourth, we found it very easy to dial in an exact D6500.
