OUR DIFFERENCE

Sharper. Brighter. Better.

110%

The power of a wider color gamut

Red-green-blue (RGB) direct laser light paired with DLP technology delivers a wider color gamut and more accurate colors than 3LCD, reaching up to 110% of the Rec.2020 standard for rich, lifelike visuals trusted in digital cinema.

8.3M pixels

Choose true 4K

DLP technology delivers 8.3 million distinct pixels to meet the Consumer Technology Association's definition of true 4K ultra high definition (UHD) so that you can see every detail clearly, outperforming 1LCD and 3LCD systems.

240Hz

Enjoy smoother, more responsive gameplay

Experience up to 50% lower display latency and project at up to 240Hz refresh rate with variable refresh rate (VRR) support on gaming consoles and PCs, delivering smoother and more responsive gameplay that rivals high-end monitors.

9/10

A brilliant cinema experience anywhere

Trusted by nine out of 10 cinemas worldwide and used in 100% of digital IMAX theaters, DLP technology ensures that you experience content the way it was meant to be seen, whether in the theater or in the comfort of your home or backyard.

RGB laser

New innovations offer a rainbow-free experience
