It’s Got the Specs You Want Assuming DLP is choice InFocus LP600 DLP Projector
I recently upgraded a home projector from an Infocus LCD (Liquid Crystal Display technology) projector achieving SVGA resolution to this Infocus LP-600. I shopped, read reviews and this is why I bought the LP-600. It has a native resolution of 1024 x 768 which makes it XGA. Yes, like most projectors it will accept HDTV, SXGA, computer etc - but remember, few sources have a resolution greater than 1024 x 768 so going higher resolution is a waste of money. It has an amazing 1000:1 contrast ration, 2000 ANSI Lumens or 1500 Lumens in power save mode. The lamp is 260 watts and rated at about 2000 hours life. Replacement lamps are about $340 for this projector. Some projectors are over $500. My old projector suffered from a bit of the “screen door” phenomenon - if you look closely at the projected image, it looks like you are looking through a screen mesh. This is basically non-existent with the DLP (Digital Light Processing technology) projector. DLP essentially is a technology developed by Texas Instruments whereby there are thousands of tiny mirror on a microprocessor array. You can go to DLP.com for more really neat demos and info. Many people agree that DLP is the best way to go for home theaters. I am using this projector to view DVDs at home. DLP has many advantages such as true color which does not fade over time as the bulb ages. There is, for some reason, a little bit of jagged edges on letters of data projected (such as an Excel spreadsheet) with DLP that tends to be more smoothed with LCD projectors.
