Samsung SP-A800B: Samsung's flagship one-chip DLP-based home theater projector, the SP-A800B, takes accuracy of signal reproduction to a new level. My previous reference projector, the Samsung SP-H710AE, was designed by Joe Kane, and that well-known video guru and author of Digital Video Essentials also designed the SP-A800B.

Mitsubishi HC6000: Mitsubishi's HC6000 replaces last year's model, the HC5000, as the company's entry-level 1080p home theater projector.

It also delivers on its 1080p resolution promise for the most part, with video processing courtesy of Silicon Optix and...; Tags: Projectors, menu system, Auto Iris feature, color temperature, Mitsubishi HC6000, projector, Mitsubishi Corp.; Product reviews 2008-04-15
JVC DLA HD100 - D-ILA projector: JVC's DLA-HD100 1080p resolution front projector is the company's new flagship model, while the DLA-HD1 from last year remains in the line at a lower price point.

Sony VPL VW60 - SXRD projector: Sony's entry-level SXRD-based front projector, the VPL-VW60, is the successor to last year's price-busting VPL-VW50. Also as a 1080p resolution projector with the same $4,999 list price, it faces stiffer competition these days with more 1080p projectors available for lower prices. Based on my findings with the company's flagship VPL-VW200,...; Tags: menu system, Cinema Black Pro menu, Sony VPL-VW60, Sony Corp., projector; Product reviews 2008-02-21

Lanier's attack on open source religion: Jaron Lanier's broadside against "open source religion" in Discover Magazine was well-timed. The turn of the year, and the evident turning of an era, offers a great time to see the success, and possible excesses, of the open source ideal with fresh eyes. Lanier...; Tags: Innovation, Library, Attack, Open Source, Dana Blankenhorn; Blog posts 2007-12-31
Panasonic PT-AE2000U: Panasonic has been in the front-projection business for a long time, and has been aggressively pricing its home-theater projectors for just as long, which has effectively driven prices down in the category as a whole. As a result it's now more affordable than ever to get a really big screen...; Tags: grayscale, HDMI, menu system, Panasonic, Panasonic PT-AE2000U, projector; Product reviews 2007-12-19

It does some things really well, although it falls short in...; Tags: TV & Home Theater, TVs, projector, VPL-VW50 SXRD, Advanced Iris, 1080p, Sony Corp.; Product reviews 2007-02-26
Sony VPL-VW100: Projectors can produce comparatively enormous pictures, so a high native resolution is even more important in a projector than in a standard HDTV. After all, if the picture measures 100 inches diagonally as opposed to 50 or 42, you'll have a lot more opportunity to discern individual pixels and notice...; Tags: TV & Home Theater, projector, Sony VPL-VW100, Sony Corp., 1080p; Product reviews 2006-05-18
Dell 2400MP: The Dell 2400MP resets the bar for what you can expect from a mainstream budget projector, combining class-leading brightness with sharpness and value. This projector is capable of delivering more than 3,000 lumens, which tops every projector in the budget category and equals Dell's own much more expensive 5100MP.
