VP-11S1: For True Home Theater Aficionados
The
VP-11S1, a single-chip DLP Projector featuring full upconversion
capability for all video sources to 1080p HD resolution, delivers image
quality previously unavailable in anything but the highest-priced
professional projectors, including full uncompressed HDTV 1920×1080
pixel resolution for incredibly realistic, detailed and lifelike images
– virtually indistinguishable from film quality. For true home theater
aficionados, the VP-11S1 includes a Vertical Stretch mode that
eliminates the black borders on widescreen movies when viewed on a
2.35:1 screen. Key to the VP-11S1's unprecedented image reproduction
capabilities is the inclusion of Texas Instruments' first true 1080p HD
chip, which dramatically increases the pixel count of previous 720p
chips to over 2 million pixels.
