Mitsubishi shows off XD211U DLP projector

by Steven Kim posted May 15th 2008 at 5:08PM

Talk about product overlap: just over a month ago, Mitsubishi introduced its XD500U, boasting a pixel count of 1,024 x 768 and brightness of 2,200-lumens. Now say "hello" to the XD211U, with the same pixel count, brightness, and BrilliantColor specs. The XD211U weighs in at 0.5-pounds lighter and does boast a new DDP 2230 TI microarray, however. The theft-deterrent security hook will protect the $1595 beamer from any grabby hands around the office or classroom. The projector might be secure, but you know some deadbeat is going to make off with the detachable keypad and render this thing unusable -- better order a spare keypad right up front.

I would like to ask EngadgetHD what their interpretation of 'HD' is. 1024x768 just doesn't fit into my definition of HD. Who is broadcasting 'HD' or who is distributing Blu-ray movies in this resolution?

Agreed!

1024x768 in a 4:3 ratio is NOT HD. When used for widescreen video, this projector will be cropping your 16x9 image down to 576p.

On a small screen (like a TV), you might not be able to tell the difference between 720p and 1080p from farther viewing distances....but the whole point of a projector is to make a huge screen, and 576p will definitely look bad on a huge screen.
