DLP Equipped Projectors–And Why You Want One!
Almost no one short of the pedigree home theater champions out there has a digital projector. In fact, the last time most of us watched something on a projector (other than at your local Cinema) it was wheeled into the room by you 10th grade history teacher’s substitute replacement. That was boring, that was then. Now, you can revolutionize the way you watch sports, movies or even regular television.
TigerDirect.com has the best deals on this new wave of viewing entertainment, period. Most electronics retailers will rip you off, figuring that if you’re building a projector based home theater system, price is no object. If thats the case for you, then by all means, get yourself over to TigerDirect, double-quick! (They’ll fire me if I drive the wealthy away) 
But for most of us, these DLP projectors offer an alternative to pricey flatscreen Plasma and LCD technology. Read on, brave movie buff!
One of the biggest advances in projector technology came in the mid 1990s with the advent of new digital projection techniques. Texas Instruments developed Digital Light Processing (DLP), and integrated it into a projector. This is the same technology now used in rear projection DLP televisions, some of the most affordable High Definition sets on the market. If you haven’t seen these yet, by the way, you are really missing out.
DLP projector technology is based on its Digital Micromirror Device (DMD), a dime-sized switch that controls the placement and intensity of projected light with more than 480,000 mirrors. With a DLP-based display, you have a virtually unlimited range of colors, with saturation and clarity that gives you clear, bright video images as good as a 35mm slide.
As it so happens, we’ve got two DLP projectors right here at the TigerTV labs. Logan got his hands on both of them– The Planar PR5020 3000 Lumens DLP Projector and the Optoma DV11 DLP projector. Check it out!
Give a Planar Presentation!
The Planar delivers all the features you’d expect in a professional DLP® projector: digital input, three brightness modes, RS-232 control, a full-featured remote control with laser pointer. It also offers monitor loop-through, full connectivity, including separate audio and video inputs for computer and video. It features an easy-to-replace lamp, even if you happen to have mounted it on the ceiling (Try that with a CRT television)! Also included, a powerful 5W TrueMedia™ SPL speaker and an exceptionally long lamp life. In short it’s everything you want in a projector for your boardroom.
