I have yet to figure out how to set this item up for my laptop. The instructions are HORRIBLE and I am going to have to call a professional computer service man to complete the set up-if you are going to try to hook this up to a laptop beware as the disk will tell you what to do and then the instructions when followed precisely take you to another screen. I can't actually give you a rating as the set up is not complete. Unless you are personally capable of figuring out a ''work around'' DON'T buy this product.

Both this item and been using it for our weekly presentation. No problem, vivid output even in economy. I do highly recommend this for those who wants to have a good quality projector. The only downfall with this is the S-video connection does not work with any kind of computer signal but do works in any kind of video equipments. That's fine as long as the d-sub is available for connection.

What Is DLP?

  • DLP Digital Lighting Processing
    DLP™ technology is a revolutionary display solution that uses an optical semiconductor to manipulate light digitally. It's also a proven and dependable technology preferred by leading electronics companies worldwide, with more than 2 million systems shipped to more than 50 manufacturers since 1996. DLP™ technology is in use wherever visual excellence is in demand. In fact, it's the only display solution that enables movie projectors, televisions, home theater systems and business projectors to create an entirely digital connection between a graphic or video source and the screen in front of you. The result is maximum fidelity: a picture whose clarity, brilliance and color must be seen to be believed.
  • DLP Digital Lighting Processing
    Digital Light Processing™ is the world's only all-digital display solution and a key ingredient in the best digital projectors available today. DLP™ technology uses an optical semiconductor to recreate source material with a fidelity analog systems cannot match.
  • The Semiconductor That Changes
    At the heart of every DLP™ projection system is an optical semiconductor known as the Digital Micromirror Device, or DMD chip, was invented by Dr. Larry Hornbeck of Texas Instruments in 1987. The DMD chip is probably the world's most sophisticated light switch. It contains a rectangular array of up to 1.3 million hinge-mounted microscopic mirrors; each of these micromirrors measures less than one-fifth the width of a human hair, and corresponds to one pixel in a projected image. When a DMD chip is coordinated with a digital video or graphic signal, a light source and a projection lens, its mirrors can reflect an all-digital image onto a screen or other surface. The DMD and the sophisticated electronics that surround it are what we call Digital Light Processing™ technology.
  • Digital Light Processing I: The Gray Scale Image
    A DMD panel's micromirrors are mounted on tiny hinges that enable them to tilt either toward the light source in a DLP™ projection system (ON) or away from it (OFF)-creating a light or dark pixel on the projection surface. The bit-streamed image code entering the semiconductor directs each mirror to switch on and off up to several thousand times per second. When a mirror is switched on more frequently than off, it reflects a light gray pixel; a mirror that's switched off more frequently reflects a darker gray pixel. In this way, the mirrors in a DLP™ projection system can reflect pixels in up to 1,024 shades of gray to convert the video or graphic signal entering the DMD into a highly detailed grayscale image.
  • Digital Light Processing II: Adding Color
    The white light generated by the lamp in a DLP™ projection system passes through a color wheel as it travels to the surface of the DMD panel. The color wheel filters the light into red, green and blue, from a single-chip DLP™ projection system can create at least 16.7 million colors. And the 3-DMD chip system found in DLP Cinema™ projection systems is capable of producing no fewer than 35 trillion colors. The on and off states of each micromirror are coordinated with these three basic building blocks of color. For example, a mirror responsible for projecting a purple pixel will only reflect red and blue light to the projection surface; our eyes then blend these rapidly alternating flashes to see the intended hue in a projected image.
  • Applications And Configurations
    Televisions, home theater systems and business projectors using DLP™ technology rely on a single DMD chip configuration like the one described above. White light passes through a color wheel filter, causing red, green and blue light to be shone in sequence on the surface of the DMD. The switching of the mirrors, and the proportion of time they are 'on' or 'off' is coordinated according to the color shining on them. The human visual system integrates the sequential color and sees a full-color image.
  • One-Chip DLP Projection System
    DLP™ technology-enabled projectors for very high image quality or high brightness applications such as cinema and large venue displays rely on a 3-DMD-chip configuration to produce stunning images, whether moving or still.
  • Three-Chip DLP Projection System
    In a 3-chip system, the white light generated by the lamp passes through a prism that divides it into red, green and blue. Each DMD chip is dedicated to one of these three colors; the colored light that each micromirror reflects is then combined and passed through the projection lens to form a single pixel in the image.

About HDTV Viewing Angles
The Viewing Angle of any TV is an important specification.  The wider the viewing angle, the more enjoyable your experience.  Viewing angles above 150° means you can view your TV from a reasonable range - from the front and off to the sides.  However, viewing angles above 170° are best!  Many of today's Plasma and LCD HDTVs offer viewing angles of 178°, and their images do not suffer from degradation at very high viewing angles.   LCD TVs were originally designed for a one user experience, as a computer monitor, but the technology has kept pace with the demands for ever increasing viewing angles, and most offer excellent viewing experiences.  Between LCD and Plasma; Plasma TVs have the advantage, but by a small margin.

Viewing angles are not an issue with projectors because the light source is coming from in front of the screen, and not from behind. However, the surface on which you project (screen or wall surface) may have a slight impact on viewing angles, so it is important to choose the best screen possible.
