LG's RD-JT91 DLP projector offers native 800 x 600 (SVGA) resolution and accepts inputs up to 1,280 x 1,024 (SXGA). Your projections will look sharp with both high brightness (an impressive 1,700 ANSI lumens in high mode and 1,300 lumens in normal) and dynamically rich in contrast (thanks to the projector's 2,000:1 contrast ratio). Capable of displaying digital and analog signals for integrated data, video, and audio presentations, the RD-JT91 proves itself flexible as well as capable.
The projector displays computer (RGB), NTSC, PAL, SECAM, and HDTV signals, offering everything from 15-pin D-sub computer inputs (PC or Mac) to a direct digital DVI-D interface and standard composite-, component-, and S-video jacks. For better format flexibility, the RD-JT91 also accommodates both standard (4:3) and widescreen (16:9) aspect ratios.
The RD-JT91 renders images anywhere from 30 to 300 inches in diameter, depending on your distance from the screen. Other features include zoom, digital keystone correction (vertical, +/- 15 degrees), a single 1-watt speaker, a digital camera filter, and picture freeze.
DLP (Digital Light Processing) technology uses an optical semiconductor, known as the Digital Micromirror Device, or DMD chip, to digitally manipulate light. The chip contains a rectangular array of up to 1.3 million microscopic mirrors, each of which measures less than one-fifth the width of a human hair. The RD-JT91 uses a single .55-inch DMD.
A DMD panel's micromirrors are mounted on tiny hinges that enable them to tilt either toward the light source (on) or away from it (off)--creating a light or dark pixel on the projection surface. The bit-streamed image code directs each mirror to switch on and off up to several thousand times per second, letting the mirrors reflect pixels in up to 1,024 shades of grey. The white light generated by the lamp passes through a color wheel as it travels to the surface of the DMD panel, filtering it to create at least 16.7 million colors.
LG covers the projector itself with a three-year limited warranty; the lamp is warranted for 1,000 hours or 30 days, whichever come first.
