Film making

Televisions often incorporate the latest technologies in the visual world and with each new line being released, there’s often a brand new method being used and the image quality has been improved once again. While in some cases, the changes are negligible, the Digital-Light-Processing (DLP) chip has provided some notable changes within the visual quality world. Mitsubishi has begun implementing this technology into their major television lines, albeit using some of their own technologies to enhance it. Introducing latest DLP TVs from Mitsubishi, let’s first look at how DLP works.

How Does Digital-Light-Processing Work?

In a projector (where most of this technology has been aimed in up until now), the colors are produced by using a white lamp with a color wheel or individual light sources with the primary colors, such as LEDs. The wheel would be divided into the primary colors and maybe some secondary. The DLP chip within the projector synchronizes the wheel’s rotations so when a color is needed, it’s provided. With the excellent speed provided, it’s possible to provide a full-color image for the user. The Digital Micromirror Device (DMD) is a matrix of microscopic mirrors that correspond to the image. This is what provides the excellent color reproduction in the image.

As you can imagine, the technology has changed somewhat to enable incorporation into the televisions. The wheel has been removed to prevent maintenance requirements as well as provide size reduction. Furthermore, the new methods allow for instant-on usage. The DMD specifically reduces the gaps between the pixels, providing users with a more complete image as well as color enhancements, regardless of the resolution or type (ala 3D). Fast moving images are also known to benefit from DLP, due to the fast processing speed.

Mitsubishi’s Offerings

They offer two main DLP lines. The 3D Home Cinema TV system offers the 3D technology as well as the DLP, meaning you get excellent image quality through all of your viewing and at larger sizes as well, such as 60, 65, 73, 82 inches. Their LASERVUE line provides a similar lighting system to the DLP as mentioned before, but with their own technology implemented. Same effect, but differing methods.

When you are in the market for a new DLP TV for your home, there is some exciting technology being developed. Read the Mitsubishi WD-82738 review or the Mitsubishi WD-82838 review for additional details about options.
