AVRev.com: With the amount of front projector technologies and models being released, sometimes it is hard to keep up.  SIM2 debuted its new flagship projector at CES. 

The Italian manufacturer has been around since the beginning, first offering analog CRT projectors.  Now, their latest projector, the Grand Cinema HT5000E, is the latest in digital technology.

The HT5000E is a three-chip DLP projector that uses three .95-inch DarkChip4 DMDs.  Naturally, the resolution is the ever-popular 1920×1080. 

The projector offers all the standard connection amenities, as well as an Ethernet connection for using TCP/IP commands.

Electronista: InFocus Corporation announced the availability of its newest DLP projector, the X9, which is positioned in the company’s offerings as a lower cost home theater projector, slotting in below the IN80-series.

The X9 sports a native resolution of 720p and 16:9 aspect ratio, although it will support 1080i signals and 16:10, 4:3 and 5:4 ratios.

Its brightness is rated at 1,800 lumens, while the contrast ratio is fixed at 2500:1. The 180W light bulb will last 3,500 hours, or 4,000 when in a 150W Eco Mode.

Tech Digest: InFocus has announced its latest projector, the X9, offering high definition projection at a distinctly budget price.

Thanks to the fact that it’s a 720p projector, rather than offering 1080p high definition, it comes in at a lower price point. There’s no skimping on quality, though, as it uses Texas Instruments’ DLP technology with BrilliantColor, and offers a 2,500:1 contrast ratio, 1,800 lumens brightness, and HDMI with DeepColor support.

It can project an image up to 9.13m diagonal, and can be placed anywhere between one and 12 metres from the wall on which the image will be projected.

Electronista: NEC began its week with an unveiling for two computer-oriented portable DLP projectors.

The NP41 and NP61 are both light enough to be carried along with a notebook but still bright enough for less-than-ideal lighting at 2,300 and 3,000 lumens of brightness respectively.

They also have a claimed 1,600:1 contrast ratio and a six-segment DLP color wheel that produce relatively vivid images at either projector’s 1024×768 maximum resolution.

Both imagers accept VGA, S-video, and RCA for input and will recognize and downscale most HD video formats without cropping or stretching.
