To make a decision on which projector you should buy, consider the following features:


BRIGHTNESS:
A key factor in the measurement of any projector's performance - normally indicated in ANSI lumens (American National Standards Institute measurement of "candle" power). Customers are advised to use caution when directly comparing models using this criteria as two models with the same quoted brightness may look quite different. Some models use LUX as a measure of brightness. Divide the LUX number by five to obtain the approximate ANSI lumen equivalent. Please use quoted figures as a guide only.

If you are like many consumers who are in the market for a new television, you've probably dreamed about making it a plasma or LCD flat screen HDTV.

DLP technology is the only display solution that enables projection systems to create a purely digital connection between a digital video or graphic source and the screen in front of you. While all other technologies are analog and compromise some image quality in translation, DLP projection unleashes the full potential of the content you want to see-whether it's in a movie theatre, the office, or your own living room.

The Digital Advantage: Brighter in Any Light
DLP projection outshines analog technologies because it brings more light from lamp to screen. The Digital Micromirror Device at the heart of DLP technology works more efficiently than the cathode ray tubes (CRT) and D-ILA systems found in many televisions. While these analog technologies tend to lose a certain amount of light in transit, DLP projection's greater efficiency creates exceptional brightness that increases with resolution, and does not degrade over time.
