Bios Magazine has a quick overview of the JVC DLA-HX2E. This is a D-ILA (aka LCOS) projector with a resolution of 1400×788. It has a contrast ratio of 1500:1 and brightness of 500 ANSI Lumens. It uses three D-ILA chips, so no colour-wheel is required. LCOS projectors are known for their cinema-like smoothness, and supposedly this one is no different.

ultimate AV’s coverage of the Samsung SP-H700AE DLP projector, on the other hand, is not just a quick overview. ultimate AV has always known how to do reviews right, and they don’t skimp out here. Joe Kane helped Samsung design this projector, so you know it’s gotta be good. The projector has a manual focus and zoom and a lens shift feature, albeit just a vertical one. Note that the Genesis processor in this projector deinterlaces 1080i to 1080p before scaling down to 720p.

Has the era of single-chip, HD2+ DLP projectors that cost over $10,000 receded into history? Not quite yet; the Samsung SP-H700AE may be one of the last of the breed, but it’s also one of the best. Perhaps even more important, it’s a model of how all video displays should be designed in terms of calibration and color accuracy. Manufacturers take note!
