Why is BrilliantColor amazing?

• Improves color accuracy
• Bright Yellows
• Rich Reds
• Detailed Greens and Oranges
• Enables precision color curves to match key
  colors
• Utilizes similar algorithms used in DLP Cinema
• Custom color tables for large accounts?
• Completely changed the home theater market in 2006

Market Impact
When BrilliantColor is activated, the picture
becomes immediately brighter. Blacks and shadow
values remain perceptibly unchanged while
midtones and highlights increase in luminance by

How does dust affect a projector?

• If filters are clogged the projector runs
  hotter
• Reduces overall lumens
• Reduces contrast and readability
• Can make the image look dull / colorless
• Shift color spectrum / white point

How do DLP and LCD projectors deal with dust?

• Dust settling on LCD panel can blur / distort
  image
• DLP chip is sealed enabling a consistent image
  even in a dusty environment
• Reduces contrast in both units
• DLP contrast reduced by 20 (end 1800/1)
• LCD contrast reduced by 80 (120/1)
• Noticeable shift in LCD white point uniformity

Dust and LCD projectors
LCD Projectors

• LCD Projectors have dust filters
• But may not catch all the dust
• Require frequent cleaning
• 100-200 hrs
• If clogged can raise temperature shortening
  lamp life

29
Dust and DLP projectors
DLP Projector

• DLP chip is sealed
• Do not require a fan directly on the chip
• Chip is cooled from the back
• Dust cannot block a critical image part
• Enables filterless projectors
• 120 models available today
• Enables optical engine to be completely sealed to
  outside air

DLP Projectors last longer
Color Decay - Projector color integrity with use
over time
DLP
LCD

• Intertek ETL SEMKO Study
• 6 projector models (three DLP three LCD) 54
  total units
• 3 Duty cycles (24/7, 5.5 on-2.5 off, 1.5 on-2.5
  off)

• Results
• Regardless of duty cycle, LCD projectors degrade
  with use over time
• DLP projectors deliver consistent image and color

What are top three costs of owning a projector?
Filter Cleaning and replacements
Optical Panel cleaning and replacement
Lamp Replacement

• LCD
• Popular models requires cleaning every100-200
  hours
• Filter replacement often requires projector
  removal from stand
• Clogged filter can significanty impact lamp life
• Dust can accumulate on the LCD panel if not
  maintained
• DLP
• Enables filter free design projector is
  typically cleaned only at lamp replacement
• Eliminates risk of shortened lamp life due to
  clogged filter
• Sealed chip resists degradation in dusty
  environment

Filter Cleaning and replacements
Optical Panel cleaning and replacement
Lamp Replacement

• LCD
• Heat is the 1 cause of lamp failure
• UHP lamps generate significant heat and must be
  cooled to prevent failure
• Dirty filters can limit airflow in projector
  potentially causing early lamp failure
• Manufacturers can test for filter blockage
  potentially invalidating any warranty
• DLP
• Most DLP projectors do not require a filter

What are top three costs of owning a projector?
Filter Cleaning and replacements
Optical Panel cleaning and replacement
Lamp Replacement

• LCD
• Dust inside the optical engine requires expensive
  cleaning
• LCD projectors suffer color and contrast
  degradation over time
• Reduced contrast and yellowing potentially
  affectingreadability
• Consistent deterioration under every usagemodel
  tested
• Typical LCD engine replacements cost between 400
  - 800
• DLP
• Resists image degradation from dust
• DLP chip will produces quality images well beyond
  4000 hours

Why DLP is the right choice

• Deliver beautiful, easy to read images with high
  contrast and BrilliantColor
• Resists image degradation from dusty environments
• Enables filterless projectors to reduce
  maintenance costs and staff time
• - Reduces risk of lamp failure due to filter
  blockage
• Immune to panel degradation delivering clear
  images for thousands of hours
