Today the way I play the game has got to change Oh yeah Now I’m gonna get me some happy Great ’90s pop song, or the greatest ’90s pop song? You decide. At any rate, the lyrics to that George Michael ditty started echoing in my mind the moment I clicked on the web page more »

We’ve seen how cool Screen Innovations‘ Black Diamond screens are in the past, especially the way they obliterate ambient light and make front projection a reality even in rooms that aren’t light controlled. But what if you really don’t want a honking 100-inch screen on the wall at all times? Screen Innovations has now developed more »

With the death of rear-projection televisions, more and more video fans are looking for a way to achieve bigger images in the home without the expense of super-expensive flat panel displays. Of course, ultra-short-throw projection systems like LG’s CinemaBeam, which can generate 100 inch images at distances shorter than your arm, are one alternative. But more »

Say the words “professional projector” and the dollar signs start piling up in my head. Tack on words like “high bright” and “high-res,” and I can’t help but think “second mortgage.” ViewSonic definitely bucks those assumptions, though, with high-quality, professional-grade DLP projectors that, screen-inch-for-screen-inch, beat the heck out of the price of most good flat more »

We’ve all been totally impressed with LG’s laser-based CinemaBeam, which can throw 100 inches of HD goodness from a mere foot away. Claiming a 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio, this amazing little projection system not only looks great, but it’ll fit anywhere you’ve got 100 inches of diagonal wall space to spare. While anyone who’s been to more »

Projector remotes are often woefully lacking. Manufacturers (mostly correctly) assume that if you have a projector, you’re integrating it into a full home automation system, and that pointing an IR remote behind and/or above you would be awkward and weird anyway, so why bother putting much effort into the included controller? That was the old more »

Epson has launched its first two products as a member of the HDBaseT Alliance, with two new projectors making their debut at ISE in Amsterdam. The two projectors, the EB-G6900WU and EB-G6800, allow long-distance full HD video distribution over simple Cat-5e/6 cabling, enabling installers to distribute high quality video over low-cost cable.  The addition of more »

Not content with letting LG have all the fun, Sony is bringing out the first laser-based 3LCD projector with a 1920×1200 native resolution. Not only do the lasers produce intense, bright, pure colors, but they also don’t require frequent replacement like lamp-based projectors do. Rated for 20,000 hours, these lasers provide, assuming 8 hours a more »

Display Development makes some pretty interesting products, including reference-grade projectors used in screening rooms.  This week, at ISE, they are set to debut the IW7 and IW8 in-wall projection systems, aimed directly at home theater applications. Both feature a single-chip DLP light engine and an integrated Smart Cooling system for longevity and reliability.  Each also more »

When we first wrote about LG’s new LaserTV short-throw projector, we had no no real tangible sense of how short we’d be talking. As you can see from the image above, we’re talking about huge images at distances better measured in inches. On top of that, it features brilliant picture quality and color. Instead of more »
