1080P DLP chip

I want one...badly 8O


The piece de resistance, though, is the new 1080p chip, which the company is tentatively calling "xHD3". The new 1920x1080p DMD array implements SmoothPicture and DarkChip2. The demonstration unit TI was showing on the CES floor offered impressive image quality. The company believes that new TVs based around xHD3 will ship before the end of 2004, and anticipates pricing in the $4,000 to $9,000 range. Interestingly, the new 1080p chip will be focused on the rear projection TV market, and there are no plans currently to introduce xHD3 into the front projectors.

I play games at 1280x1024 on my 21" computer monitor...this thing would be able to do them at a little higher res even....it's a 57" widescreen computer monitor thats capable of the same resolutions I run my main computer at :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

I agree this would be great although I don't know how long it would be before I could afford one (<5k).
The really nice this is that since it will do 1080P it will also do anything below 1080p like 1024P, which is nice since most PC games don't support those wierd HDTV resolutions. I am hoping that this will change also, with all the widescreen computer monitors that are out today.

Yeah 1080p will be awesome, here is another link to the new samsung DLP that will also be 1080p.

Hopefully they'll start making them where you can give it any resolution you want as long as it's less than the native resolution...maybe they do already?...I'm still stuck in the crt rptv world where they only accept certain specific resolutions.
Most of the dlp and plasma's will scale the signal to fit the native res anyway won't they?
Anyone have a computer hooked up to a dlp set yet?

DLPs look great when displaying computer images. The nice thing is that they won't burn in. There can be some weird issues with clock & phase timing but it usually not a problem. Also, because they are fixed pixel displays DLPs (plasmas, LCDs and LCOS too) will scale the incoming signal to it's native resolution as long as it is a scan rate that it will accept. On their composite, s-video, component it is usually a lot like your CRT RPTV - except most DLPs will accept 480p, 720p and 1080i. For models that have a PC input (usually VGA style) they have a list of scan rates (maybe refresh rates also?) that cover most of the standard computer resolutions.
