SIM2 intros C3X LUMIS HOST high definition projector
Italian high-end projector manufacturer SIM2 has announced what is probably its most advanced, sleekest-looking high definition cinema projector to date.
The C3X LUMIS HOST builds on the standards set with the Grand Cinema C3X Series, boasting an amazing 35,000:1+ contrast ratio, dynamic iris, DynamicBlack technology and a new “dimmable” lamp…
Acer intros S1200 HD-capable video projector
Acer may not be the first name you think of when it comes to home cinema, but for a bit of business use and some sneaky Wii gaming, the S1200 could be a decent bit of kit.
This DLP-based projector features Acer’s ColorBoost II technology for enhanced colours and picture quality, and has a brightness of 2,500 ANSI lumens and 2,000:1 contrast ratio. It can also push out up to 1,680 x 1,050 resolution, so it won’t do a terrible job of high definition content…
Optoma Pico portable projector – pack 60 inches in your pocket
Here’s the Optoma Pico pocket projector, for all the “must beam something onto a wall” moments that occur so frequently on the go. No, I’m being mean, there’s a whole wealth of uses for something like this – especially because it can project an impressive 60″ picture from 2.6m away.
It’s the perfect thing for showing off your holiday photos round your parents’ house, or entertaining a nephew by letting him play his Wii on a 60″ screen, rather than the crappy little 17″ TV he’s stuck with. There’s umpteen thousand business uses, too…
Projectors in phones coming soon… Irritating yoofs already excited by the prospect
Japan’s NTT DoCoMo has taken up one step further towards the future and are developing a phone that comes with a built-in projector. Though still in the prototyping stage, this is the sort of thing we could be seeing in phones in three years time….
Optoma launches two GameTime projectors for massive gaming parties
Optoma continues to push out consumer projectors with the launch of two GameTime models.
The GT-3000 is an SVGA-resolution DLP projector featuring a 2,000:1 contrast ratio, 2,300 lumens brightness, and matching speakers. It’s targeted at Wii users, being finished in an ice white design.

Sony announces latest high definition projector: BRAVIA VPL-VW80
Sony has announced its latest high definition projector, the BRAVIA VPL-VW80.
Just like the VPL-VW40 launched earlier this year, it uses Sony’s proprietary SXRD (Silicon X-tal Reflective Display) technology — a variant of LCoS — to produce its full 1080p image.
Built-in Sony technologies include the BRAVIA ENGINE 2 (the previous model used version one) which handles colour reproduction, Motionflow which adds intermediate frames to the original video source, creating smoother movement, Dark Frame Insertion which optionally adds darkened frames to heighten contrast and remove judder, Real Colour Processing which allows precise tweaking of the colour space, and Iris 2 which dynamically adjusts the lens aperture based on the scene…
InFocus debuts affordable X9 720p DLP projector
InFocus has announced its latest projector, the X9, offering high definition projection at a distinctly budget price.
Thanks to the fact that it’s a 720p projector, rather than offering 1080p high definition, it comes in at a lower price point. There’s no skimping on quality, though, as it uses Texas Instruments’ DLP technology with BrilliantColor, and offers a 2,500:1 contrast ratio, 1,800 lumens brightness, and HDMI with DeepColor support…
InFocus launching IN1100 and IN1500 series of video projectors
InFocus has launched two new projectors aimed at those in business and education. While they’re not the most sexy projectors going, they pack some nifty features that’ll make them the envy of the conference room or classroom (if that’s possible).
The IN1100 series of projectors are small enough to hold in the palm of your hand, so are easily transportable…
Optoma EW330 – Smallest widescreen projector in the world… EVER!
This is the Optoma EW330, which I had the pleasure of seeing in the flesh (or, I suppose, in the plastic) this morning. Although it’s tiny (the smallest widescreen projector in the world, for the moment), it’s remarkably powerful, throwing 2200 Lumens out, which should be more than enough to see clearly in a well-lit environment like an office or a meeting room.
InFocus announces IN80 high definition projector: more features, less dosh
InFocus has announced the IN80 high definition projector, able to project a full 1080p image up to four metres diagonal, and with a fairly attractive price to boot.
Specifications and price place the IN80 somewhere between the X10 (launched a couple of months ago) and last year’s IN80 and IN81 projectors (which HDTVUK announced)…
