Even an innovative product like the Dell M109S has its issues

martin — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 14:09:45 +0000

Dell is all set to come to the rescue of professionals round the world with its latest innovation, the M109S projector. The projector is unlike its counterparts since it does away with the extra baggage with a small weight of around 800 g. It is just the right choice for professionals who have to shuffle between places to give presentations and the like. The miniature size of the unit is owing to the inclusion of LEDs as opposed to traditional lamps, which is often the norm. This interesting arrange provides the projector with a host of interesting advantages, such as a much cheaper price, tendency to last longer, and lower cooling requirements.

The unique arrangement is not all about pros though, as the brightness level of the unit turns out to the first casualty. The unit for all its effort could muster only a mere 50 ANSI lumens, which pales in comparison to the 2,000 ANSI lumens delivered by lamp-driven projectors. To escape this ordeal you have to ensure that the Dell projector is operated in a fairly dark room, especially when you are looking for a large projection. Meanwhile, operating noise is also an issue despite the use of LEDs with the internal fan creating quite a commotion.

As far as PowerPoint presentations are concerned the M109S does a fairly good job assisted by a native resolution of 800 x 600 and an 800:1 contrast ratio. However, the projector is not that competent when displaying videos, as the colours appear drained out and also proves a complete mismatch when depicting darken scenes.

Why to choose LED Backlighting in LCD HDTVs?

daniel — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 13:44:41 +0000

The coming of HDTVs was a revolution in itself. This technology changed the way people perceived entertainment. It offered new and refreshing levels of details in the picture and the viewers experienced true digital quality in movies. The coming of 1920 x 1080p resolution produces razor sharp images and jaw dropping realism. But still the blacks weren’t too satisfactory. There was some kind of haziness in the overall picture. Because of the poor blacks the shadowed were appearing grey and the colors were washed out. The main reason behind this was the absence of LED (Light Emitting Diodes) in backlighting.

But now most of the HDTV manufacturers are using LED as a primary source to backlit the LCD HDTVs. This is because the LED illumination offers superior colours and unprecedented blacks. The result is greater depths in video image with more vibrant colours than found in standard LCD HDTVs like the Toshiba 37RV555D. LED also plays an important role in the thin form factor of the HDTVS. It allows the manufacturers to achieve minimum possible thinness. Additional benefit of LED is its long life. These small light emitting diodes can last for years and thus increase the overall life of the television. So if you are looking forward to grab a HDTV this season then look for those that have LED as the source of light. For example, Samsung 9 series, Sony XBR8 series, Sharp XS1 etc.

Samsung SP-P310MEMX Pocket Imager DLP LED Projector: Leading from the front

martin — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 14:38:58 +0000

The Samsung SP-P310MEMX Pocket Imager DLP LED Projector is all set to revolutionise the portability market and thereby redefine our way of perceiving the interesting breed of portable projectors. By raising the bar really high it has set the tone for other brands to follow. After all, you don’t come across products more innovative and fascinating than the SP-P310MEMX every day. To begin with, it weights a meager 1.5 lbs, making it an absolute darling of the professional brigade who can now give their presentations just about anywhere, provided they have all the other necessary equipment.

It is generally perceived that a portable unit like the one in question cannot deliver a comprehensive picture quality. This is partially true, but still anyone who has got a glimpse of the performance delivered by the Pocket Imager is bound to reevaluate these perceptions. It additionally lets you experience clarity from any angle. This is due to the unit’s integrated lens from Carl Zeiss, the world-renowned optical leader, which provides supreme brightness and picture quality. Surprisingly enough, the portable unit has a very solid connectivity network and is structured in a manner to allow you the most unobtrusive access to its various features. You can, with a minimum amount of fuss, attach your A/V devices using the unit’s simple composite connection option to enjoy personal theater, movies, DVDs and games. The D-sub connection feature, on the other hand, offers you an easy access to your PC.

A typical problem observed during the projection process is loss of light which consequently causes common disturbances like image blurring or the washing out of colour. This threat, however, is effectively taken care by the DMD (Digital Mirror Device) feature included in the device, where the DMD chip is more densely arranged than on an LCD panel. Moreover, the dimunitive Samsung SP-P310 projector can project an image screen size of 12.5 to 63-inches (Diagonal) from a distance of 1.64 to 9.18-feet respectively, and has a reasonable native resolution of SVGA (800 x 600). The unit, in addition, delivers stunning black tones in videos and text, which are incredibly enhanced by an impressive 1000:1 contrast ratio.

Toshiba’s 100-gram LED Projector: Lighting up you Screens in a Small Way!

thomas — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 15:36:09 +0000

The year 2009 is, in all probability, destined to witness the unfolding of a real gem with one of the latest projectors to come from Panasonic. This device is a gem in the sense that, apart from having a stunning design, it will also have some of the most unique features you’ll ever come across. Measuring a measly 45mm x 17mm x 100mm it can even give your mobile phones stiff competition as far as portability is concerned. It will also have the distinction as the lightest projector to ever hit the market, with a paltry weight of only 100 grams. A factor contributing to this revolutionary size is the use of LED technology, which conserves battery power and doesn’t heat up while in use. As a result, there is no need for large, heavy and power draining fans.

Many may try to argue that they already have a multitalented multimedia performer in the form of their mobile phone, or portable media player, that they can access around the clock, so what is the point of a portable projector? To answer this, we note that neither mobile phones nor portable media players, will ever compete with their poor resolution and constrained screens. The more you stay away from such prejudicial activities the better for you. While this particular projector in question, may not dazzle in the manner of conventional projectors, it nonetheless maintains a reasonable WVGA 848 x 480 pixel. Actually the best part of the unit is its host of connectivity options (to a phone, a mininote, or any other video out gadget), and also the fact that that the image size can be stretched by to about 8 ft. diagonally (which clearly destroys the few inches of screen offered by a portable media player, like the Archos 605 WiFi 80GB, or a mobile phone like the iPhone). The unit also doesn’t lack on the brightness quotient and produces up to 10 lumens of light.

Projectors from Chi Lin Technologies with liquid cooling LED light source technology

kate — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 13:21:02 +0000

One of the first projectors featuring a lamp free technology with a resolution of 1080 pixels is offered by Chilin Technologies, and features technology based on Liquid Cooling.

One of the first home theatre projectors ever with a liquid cooling LED light source comes from Chilin technology. The advanced projector includes a Luminus PhlatLight LED as a replacement to the conventional UHP lamp, featured in most projectors like the InFocus IN82. It also features 1080p (1920 x 1080) DMD technology, one of the recent developments from Texas Instruments. This projector was developed jointly by Chilin, Luminus Devices and Texas Instruments.

An untraditional and revolutionary thermal management system operates and optimises the performance based on the light source. This liquid cooling technology based projector is both lamp-free and high definition.

When compared to regular UHP projectors, the Chilin model provides up to 80% more NTSC colours. It also comes with a contrast ratio of 100,000:1 and 600ANSI lumen. All this comes with the Chilin guarantee of unmatched picture quality and colour performance.

The advanced thermal management is the secret behind the successful LED based projector. LEDs are designed for optimum performance with the help of the innovative liquid cooling technology developed by Chilin.

This cooling technology is based on a unique process which helps in the dissipation of heat directly from the Phlat Light LEDs. This uses a high electric current of 30A, which is much higher than what is used by normal LED applications. Chilin expects at least 50,000 hours of performance with the help of this technology.

The next generation projectors for home cinemas from Chilin are here to stay and indeed will likely pave the future. Innovative features and advanced technology makes this a comprehensive and unique projector for your home cinema systems.
