DLP, or Digital Light Processing, is a technology that bounces a colored light beam across an array of hundreds of thousands of hinge-mounted microscopic mirrors attached to a single chip, called a "micro mirror device" (below, pictured with the head of a pin). 
Optoma's RD50 features state-of-the-art Texas Instruments HD2 Digital Light Proc essing (DLP) technology. A DLP chip contains over 900,000 micromirrors, each gen erating an individual onscreen pixel with high fidelity. Unlike ordinary project ion, plasma, or CRT televisions, DLP technology delivers crystal-clear images wi thout fading, distortion, fuzziness, or burn-in.
The high-contrast, fine-pitch screen (0.15 mm versus 0.5 mm industry average) pr ovides ultra-fine image detail while a special screen coating virtually eliminat es glare. Because HDTV's sharp onscreen images allow viewers to sit closer to th e screen, the RD50's wide viewing angle lets everyone enjoy the show. The RD50's true 16:9 aspect ratio delivers widescreen viewing without distortion or letter boxing, while 4:3 aspect ratio imagery can be viewed without burning in the scre en's edges.
The Silicon Image DVDO progressive-scan image processor combines the two interla ced fields of ordinary NTSC, VCR, DVD, and video camera signals into one progres sive signal, resulting in sharp, steady, higher-resolution images with flicker-f ree motion.
The RD50's picture-in-picture (PIP) feature delivers two high-resolu tion images onscreen in multiple positions, from any of 13 digital or analog inp ut sources. The picture-outside-picture (POP) feature delivers two high-resoluti on images side-by-side, from any of 13 digital or analog input sources.
The 3D digital comb filter accurately separates color information from black-and -white information, and eliminates dot crawl and hanging dots, both horizontally and vertically. Other features include Precision Pixel Matching (PPM) technolog y for 1:1 scan conversion, a Silicon Image DVDO 504 deinterlacer for artifact-fr ee motion and sharper onscreen images.
The RD50 is designed to accept and display a wide variety of signal sources, inc luding DVD, HDTV, gaming consoles, and regular TV broadcasts. The front panel in cludes a VGA input, headphone jack, and S-video and A/V composite inputs. The re ar panel features 1 monitor output and 2 RF, 1 DVI, 2 S-video, 2 composite A/V, and 2 component inputs. It's compatible with 480i (SDTV), 480p (EDTV), and 720p and 1080i (HDTV) video sources and up to 1280 x 1024 computer monitor resolution .

Great Bargain!,
This review is from: Optoma RD50 50-Inch Widescreen DLP Projection HDTV-Ready TV (Electronics)
This is an outstanding HDTV for the price. It is everything I hoped it would be and more. No complaints about the TV at all. Beautiful picture.
The only complaint is the shipping. I had a very similar experience to the reviewer above. It was delivered through Eagle also. It took 13 days from the time I ordered. I also had to track it down and when it did finally arrive, it was delivered only to my garage. the shipping order stated:2 man, in house, set up, trash. No such luck. Even with the shipping hassle I would buy it again. You can not come anywhere near an HDTV of this quality for $2,000!

Very nice TV!,
By Mani "Money" (Santa Clara, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Optoma RD50 50-Inch Widescreen DLP Projection HDTV-Ready TV (Electronics)
I own this TV for a month now. The standard Definition TV display is GOOD (OK). The DVD through component video input is BETTER. (Optoma suggests that the DVD player to be connected to the 480i component input. Their deinterlacer performs better than most of the progressive out of the DVD players) The HD picture is AMAZING. I have connected comcast HD using component video cables. The skin tone is perfect. The color looks natural. This has the HD2 chip. But look at the contrast 1500 and the dot pitch 0.15 mm. This is better than or equal to the 3rd generation DMD chip.

This review is from: Optoma RD50 50-Inch Widescreen DLP Projection HDTV-Ready TV (Electronics)
I feel like I should add to my previous review because I talked about what a great bargain this TV is and
the price has went up $500. I still love this TV. Everyone who sees it comments on how incredible the picture is. My Time Warner service technician was out the other day and said that he sees a lot of HDTV's and is usually not impressed, but this set is IMPESSIVE. Now, when the price was $2,000, I felt like it was a steal. At $2,500, it is still probably the best HDTV you can buy for the price, but it's hard to get as excited about it as before. Bottom line: I would still buy this for $2,500 but I would spend a little more time looking at the competition to make sure it's the best deal. I think it would be. From what I've seen, it's hard to find a 50" DLP for under $2,600 + tax.
