Amazon.com Product Description
Optoma's RD50A 50-inch widescreen DLP projection television offers state-of-the-art Texas Instruments Digital Light Processing technology. Unlike standard projection televisions, plasma, or CRT sets, DLP delivers crystal-clear images without fading, distortion, fuzziness, or risks of image burn-in. And the set is just 22 inches deep, so while it's screen is big, the set itself is relatively small and far easier to position than standard projection sets.

Optoma's single-chip DLP technology means the onscreen image is always perfectly aligned and will never burn in or degrade like LCD and CRT projection TVs. Further, the RD50A's bright, high-contrast (2,000:1) screen allows an extremely wide viewing angle. Because HDTV's sharp onscreen images allow viewers to sit closer to the screen, a wide viewing angle lets everyone enjoy the show.

Ordinary analog broadcasts can only deliver a 4:3 viewing ratios, while--like anamorphic DVD presentations--HDTV delivers a full 16:9 viewing ratio--a ratio that more closely matches the widescreen format of your favorite moves. DLP technology lets you view side-letterboxed 4:3 images without fear of burning lines into the screen edges.

The RD50A features an amazingly low 1 percent overscan, giving you 8 to 23 percent more picture than most televisions. Overscan is the amount of screen image that runs underneath the outside edges of all television images. Typically, about 3 or 7 percent of the screen images is lost to overscan.

The set's fine-pitch screen (0.15 mm versus 0.5 mm industry average for projection TVs) provides ultra-detailed images, while a special screen coating virtually eliminates quality-sapping glare. Onboard 2-tuner picture-in-picture (PIP) renders 2 images onscreen in multiple positions, from any of the TV's 13 digital or analog input sources (HD or SD). Optoma's POP (picture-outside-picture) feature delivers 2 high-resolution images side-by-side, from any of 13 digital or analog input sources.

Choose from numerous connection options, including a direct-digital DVI-D terminal, 1 PC inputs (VGA 15-pin D-Sub), 3 component-video inputs (1 standard-definition, 2 HD), and 3 each composite- and S-video inputs. A composite-video-based AV output simplifies hookup with a DVR or VCR.

An onboard Silicon Image DVDO progressive-scan image processor combines the 2 interlaced fields of ordinary NTSC, VCR, DVD, and camcorder signals into a single progressively scanned signal. The result is sharp, steady, high-resolution images with smooth, flicker-free motion. The supplied IR (infrared) remote control works with high-end home automation systems, letting you control external devices with great reliability and ease while retaining the preferences for individual devices and users.

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. 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 entering the semiconductor directs each mirror to switch on and off up to several thousand times per second, such that the mirrors can reflect pixels in up to 1,024 shades of gray.

The white light generated by the lamp passes through a color wheel as it travels to the surface of the DMD panel. The color wheel filters the light into red, green, and blue, from which a single-chip DLP projection system can create at least 16.7 million colors.
