Mitsubishi rolls out 1080p HC3800 projector for $1,395

by Donald Melanson Sep 9th 2009 @ 6:05PM


It's not always easy for a projector to stand out from the pack these days, but it looks like Mitsubishi has turned to one of the most tried and true tricks in the book for its new HC3800 model: offer a ton of features for a great price. That starts, naturally, with a full 1080p resolution, and things stay more than respectable all along down the line with 1,300 lumens of brightness, a 4,000:1 contrast ratio, a promised 5,000 hour lamp life (in conservation mode) and, get this, full support for anamorphic lenses in case you're really looking to top off your home theater. Best of all, the projector is set to run just $1,395, and should be available sometime in the third quarter of this year.

Viewsonic announces three new 3D projectors

by Joseph L. Flatley Jun 15th 2009 @ 3:31PM


Good news, 3D fanboys and girls, looks like Viewsonic's back on the scene with a clutch of 120Hz 3D-enabled projectors. The first new model, the PJD6381, looks to be aimed at schools and businesses, with an extremely short throw ratios (around .68) for reducing shadowing effects, and a number of interactive whiteboard options. Available in August, this guy has 1024 x 768 XGA resolution, 2,500 ANSI lumens, a 2,500:1 contrast ratio, 120Hz refresh rate, and is compatible with the both Texas Instruments' DLP Link and NVIDIA's 3D-Vision 3D technology -- expect it to have an MSRP of $1,249. The PJD6211 and PJD6221 ($849 and $899, respectively) also sport 1024 x 768 XGA resolution, as well as up to 2,700 lumens, a 2,800:1 contrast ratio and both DLP Link and 3D-Vision compatibility. These two should hit the stores some time in July.

ViewSonic turns off spell check, launches Fuhzion line of 3D display devices

ViewSonic turns off spell check, launches Fuhzion line of 3D display devices
3D displays are hotter than Hansel right now, and ViewSonic is getting in to the new (old) tech of goggle-driven depth with a line of displays dubbed Fuhzion. First up is the 22-inch VX2265wm LCD, announced last year and sounding quite similar to the Samsung 2233RZ from yesterday. It's a 1680 x 1050, 120Hz panel with a 2ms response rate, enabling it to tackle the quick cycling that will be required to reproduce a 3D image. The other addition to the line is the PJD6220-3D DLP projector, an updated (or at least renamed) version of the company's existing PJD6220, illuminating 1024 x 768 pixels at 120Hz and a respectable contrast ratio of 2000:1. The projector is due next month for $1,499, while the VX2265wm drops in the next few weeks for a rather more reasonable $399 -- another stat that happens to match Samsung's offering.

Toshiba announces $1,000 TDP-PX10U projector

by Donald Melanson Sep 18th 2007 @ 1:25PM

While it likely won't cut it in a home theater, Toshiba's new TDP-PX10U projector looks like it should please quite a few business types, with it boasting a lightweight 2.9 pound carrying weight and an equally light $1,000 price tag. For that grand, you'll get a standard 1,024 x 768 resolution, along with a 2,000:1 contrast ratio, 2,200 ANSI lumens, a built-in two watt speaker, and a USB port to accommodate a flash drive for presentations without a PC. Toshiba's also promising a "50 percent increase in the brightness of colors" thanks to its trademark BrilliantColor DLP technology, and it's touting the projector's automatic setup feature, which promises to give you clear images in "even in the most unforgiving presentation situations." If that's enough to sway you, you can get your order in right away

Samsung's SP-A800B 1080p DLP projector sure is curvy

by Thomas Ricker Aug 30th 2007 @ 6:32AM


Samsung knows a thing or two about working a trade show. IFA's no different. Meet the spacey SP-A800B 1080p (0.95-inch DMD chip from TI) DLP projector on the loose in Berlin. It features a 24fps film mode and a 2,000-hour, 300W lamp which throws 1,000 lumens at a 10,000:1 rated contrast at a relatively noisy 25dB. Around back you'll find 2x HDMI, RGB for your PC, 2x component, S-Video, and RS-232. Sorry, no prices or expected date for availability.
