Optoma RD50 50" HD DLP TV (Refurbished)
The 50-inch Optoma RD50 is the slimmest HDTV-ready projection television available at less than 15 inches deep. Image quality is enhanced with pure digi tal signal processing from source to screen, 720 progressive-scan resolution, an d native 16:9 widescreen format that eliminates image distortion. The RD50 is ea sy to set up and comes with a full range of features including two-tuner pictur e-in-picture/picture-outside-picture, favorite channel memory, and universal com patibility with analog, digital video, HDTV, and computer displays.

Optoma's RD50 features state-of-the-art Texas Instruments HD2 Digital Light Proc essing (DLP) technology. A DLP chip contains over 900,000 micromirrors, each gen erating an individual onscreen pixel with high fidelity. Unlike ordinary project ion, plasma, or CRT televisions, DLP technology delivers crystal-clear images wi thout fading, distortion, fuzziness, or burn-in.

The high-contrast, fine-pitch screen (0.15 mm versus 0.5 mm industry average) pr ovides ultra-fine image detail while a special screen coating virtually eliminat es glare. Because HDTV's sharp onscreen images allow viewers to sit closer to th e screen, the RD50's wide viewing angle lets everyone enjoy the show. The RD50's true 16:9 aspect ratio delivers widescreen viewing without distortion or letter boxing, while 4:3 aspect ratio imagery can be viewed without burning in the scre en's edges.

The Silicon Image DVDO progressive-scan image processor combines the two interla ced fields of ordinary NTSC, VCR, DVD, and video camera signals into one progres sive signal, resulting in sharp, steady, higher-resolution images with flicker-f ree motion.

The RD50's picture-in-picture (PIP) feature delivers two high-resolu tion images onscreen in multiple positions, from any of 13 digital or analog inp ut sources. The picture-outside-picture (POP) feature delivers two high-resoluti on images side-by-side, from any of 13 digital or analog input sources.

The 3D digital comb filter accurately separates color information from black-and -white information, and eliminates dot crawl and hanging dots, both horizontally and vertically. Other features include Precision Pixel Matching (PPM) technolog y for 1:1 scan conversion, a Silicon Image DVDO 504 deinterlacer for artifact-fr ee motion and sharper onscreen images.

The RD50 is designed to accept and display a wide variety of signal sources, inc luding DVD, HDTV, gaming consoles, and regular TV broadcasts. The front panel in cludes a VGA input, headphone jack, and S-video and A/V composite inputs. The re ar panel features 1 monitor output and 2 RF, 1 DVI, 2 S-video, 2 composite A/V, and 2 component inputs. It's compatible with 480i (SDTV), 480p (EDTV), and 720p and 1080i (HDTV) video sources and up to 1280 x 1024 computer monitor resolution.
