Hi there

The infocomm exhibition tarted yesterday in Tokyo.

Actually it was kind of disappointing. Not many new models ...

JVC was absent , to start with.

Then Barco came up with nice solutions, like splitting a HD signal in 2 (2 x 1000 pixel wide) and display using RM6 DLP projectors. The system is called Synergix, and the guy told me it was possible to use for any 4:3 projector. Could work also to display 16:9 movies ... with 2 LT 150 for example ?


Then NEC was displaying a beautiful DLP projector, using the Panamorph lens. Really nice...


Besides, very high end DLP and LCD for a LOT of money !


Finaly, there was the Sharp z9000, dlp with 1200 lumen and 16:9 naive matrix, for 1280 x 720.

This showed very promising ! Let's hope the price will be affordable. DPX 1 from Yamaha was disappointing in comparison.


Cheers,

Cedric

I've read 800 lumens and 1200 lumens on the Z9000. Was it shown with ambient light and how did it do?

I thought the Sharp z9000 was only 800 Lumens, or 600 Lumens in CinemaMode.


Did they increase the lumens in the shipping projector from their earlier Specs???

My mistake.

It is actually 800 lumen, but 1100:1 contrast ratio !

The projector was showing in ambiant light, and it was quite awesome.


It will be in my favorite shop in a couple of days. Can't wait to see it in proper conditions ...

Just when I was getting a bit tired of the Sony 10 HT ...


Cheers,

Cedric
