I'm surprised that this projector has been virtually ignored in all the postings about Infocomm that I have read to date. It was set up next to the Sanyo PLV 60 at the shoot out. I thought it was easily equal to the Sanyo, for a thousand dollars less. The high definition picture on the Toshiba was more detailed to my old eyes than that of the Sanyo.
The Toshiba uses a wide screen 1,280 x 720 chip versus the 1,366 x 768 one on the Sanyo. Could the former show 720p somewhat better? Is it easier to scale 480p to 720p? Where does this chip come from? Per Toshiba it displays all NTSC signals at 720p. Nice.
Just like everyone else I was amazed by the JVC QXGA D-ILA presentation. Far better than any movie theater I have been to in recent memory. George Lucas must be on to something. I'd love to see Episode II on one of these, let alone on the 4k X 2k promised us by JVC in 2003. If I were a movie theater owner I would certainly wait a while before converting to digital projection.
