The Marantz VP-11S1H DLP Projector is a follow-up to the company’s now legendary VP-11S1 model, and, as can be assumed from the letter H in its name, its HDMI sockets have been upgraded to the latest v1.3 specification for Deep Color compatibility. This upgrade is one of the prime reasons why you will like to have a closer look at it. What is also impressive about this beast is that it comes at a huge price cut.

The outlay of the product is belying its low price, and looks superb with innovative designs and solid build quality. The connectivity of the unit is headed by the twin HDMIs, as opposed to just one like with the Optoma HD700X DLP projector. This connections are aptly complemented a pair of component video jacks, a D-Sub PC port, two DC trigger outputs, remote control in/out, along with an RS-232C port that facilitates the integration of the unit into a professional home cinema installation.

Other key features of the unit includes a reasonable contrast ratio of more than 6,500:1, especially because it is a native figure and consequently is independent of any auto-iris systems that may affect the brightness levels during dark scenes in order to boost black levels.

Another feature that towers over the impressive list is the GF9351 video processing system by acclaimed image gurus, Gennum. The technology is boasted by no less than four integral components, including TruMotionHD and FineEdge technologies to augment the fluidity and sharpness of progressive images; Reality Expansion comprehensively elevates colour tones; while the Fidelity Engine component ensures you a high fidelity and detailed image.
