Mitsubishi has introduced a new digital projector designed for the cinematic connoisseur.

The Mitsubishi HC3000U DLP projector with BrilliantColor technology from Texas Instruments promises everything you'd expect from a home cinema projector: long lamp life (3000 hours), low fan noise (25dBA), and portability. It also has a native resolution of 720p, but can display at 1280x768 pixels for normal computer usage.

But it's also setting new standards with innovative technology. The Mitsubishi HC3000U ($2995) DLP projector, unlike other digital projectors, is able to produce a dramatic 4000:1 contrast ratio that accentuates deeper and darker tones to create an 'overall stunning visual experience with vivid images and brilliant colours'.

At the heart of the HC3000U is Texas Instruments' state-of-the-art TI DarkChip2, with the DDP3020 chip featuring BrilliantColor. The latter is new, cutting-edge technology that enables higher brightness by boosting the midtone colour levels while promising more vibrant colours for realistic and lifelike images.

Other notable video-friendly features include motion adaptive de-interlacing, adaptive 3D noise reduction filters, edge-preserving scaling, DynamicBlack adjustment, and video picture in picture (PiP).

'The home theater experience just got sweeter with our HC3000U,' said Frank Anzures, manager, projector product marketing for Mitsubishi Digital Electronics America. 'In side-by-side comparisons, the HC3000U with BrilliantColor shows just how amazing these new technologies are.'
