Hi Richard, > What kind of digital, or rather electronic, projectors > are you talking about? I think maybe people are assuming > facts not in evidence. I don't think digital theater > projectors use LCD's. There are two types of digital projection systems that I've designed. One is using an LCD (or plasma) panel (with no backlighting), the other is using a DMD (Digital Mirror Device...from TI). BTW, I certainly wasn't talking about a theatre projector, but an LCD type projector comparable to projecting a slide using, well, a slide projector like you could buy at B&H. Slide film projection can only get so good...I mean, the Hasselblad projector is probably as good as it gets, and can be bought for under $5k I'd assume. A digital projector that would be even remotely "comparable" in resolution (6k x 6k) would cost a whole heck of a lot more than $5k. I would like to know what the high end of commercially available "consumer" digital projectors are these days, but from what I found on B&H, not even close...and for $10k+! > Note that electronic means > still requires an old fashioned lens. Correct, and also an "old fashioned" light source as well. The only difference between the two is the slide vs the imager (in the case of LCD/plasma, DMD is another architecture, requiring color wheels and elaborate timing).
