#LUMINAR PROJECTOR L800 4K UPDATE#

It’s also convenient for their manufacturing costs that the human brain’s frame rate is shamefully slow, even compared to the 24-frame-per-second speed of the cinema.

Thanks to phenomenon called wobulation, these projectors only need to supply you with about half of the necessary information in a given frame, as the projection itself moves on to the next frame before your mind could ever catch up. On the other hand, it’s because the scientific minds that designed your projector knew that your eyes couldn’t tell the difference. On the one hand, this is because it’s rather expensive to produce millions of flawless, microscopic mirrors. A 4K projector puts out an image that should contain 8,294,400 pixels, but the average DMD only contains half that many mirrors. A micrometer, for the record, is one millionth of a meter.ĭespite their diminutive stature, the mirrors inside the DMD don’t add up to the same number of pixels present in the intended image. Those mirrors, shaped like little squares, are usually only five micrometers across. In a digital projector, for example, the light that constitutes your image bounces off of an array of incredibly tiny mirrors called a Digital Micromirror Device before hitting the lens that provides its ultimate focus. And while somewhere along the way we lost the ability to interact with our mirrors on a personal or prophetic level, we have harnessed other incredible capabilities from mirrors that we've made exceedingly small.

Mirror technology has come a long way since that dastardly reflective consultant to the Wicked Queen of Snow White. Again, this has less to do with a failing in the projector's performance (its contrast ratio is still one of the finest in its class), and more to do with the rest of the industry catching up to or surpassing it at competitive prices. The biggest loser on our list is the JVC model that once held the second spot and is now all the way back at number seven. And the LG tower at number four is one of the most conveniently portable projectors on the market. The Epson model at number two, for example, is a slight upgrade to the 4000 model previously at number seven, but it performs remarkably better than its predecessor without its price going up very much. The short throw Sony model that previously held our number one spot has been demoted to number five, but only because that company's newer long throw model now represents the top of its line, and because the models that fell in the three spots in between are simply better deals given what users will get for their money.

This model also boasts one of the best sound systems in its class, with a pair each of drivers and woofers supporting a stereo output without the need for a single piece of home theater equipment.

The result is a viewing experience that is essentially upscaled to 8K resolution, allowing you to project a massive screen without losing detail.Īnother exciting update came in the Optoma CinemaX P2 Smart, which has one of the highest contrast ratios in the business, coming in at 2,000,000: 1.

It's a bit pricey, and not everybody thinks the technology is ideal, but they've taken the shift tech they used to employ to make a projector with a native 1080p output project in 4K and applied it to a model with a native 4K output. There have been a few exciting upgrades in this category since we last visited it, with my personal favorite being the JVC DLA-NX9.
