The Full HD-resolution (1920 x 1080) Optoma EH1020 DLP Multimedia
Projector is a great home theater projector that can project 720p,
1080i and 1080p high definition images. And those high definition
signals will stay in pristine digital form from the source to the
projector thanks to the EH1020's HDMI v 1.3 input. But its education
and business credentials are impeccable too.
It can sync up with more than 30 PC and Macintosh resolutions, offering
the kind of flexibility you need when you don't know where and with
what kind of computer you'll be using the projector next. Can a
projector offer a lesson in International Relations? If it's possible,
the EH1020 can. Its 100 � 240 Volt 50/60 Hz power supply lets the
projector work in almost any country with electricity. Its OSD
(on-screen display) offers a choice of 23 languages. And its ability to
project programming in the NTSC, NTSC 4.43, PAL B, D, G, H, I, M, N and
SECAM B, D, G, K, K1, L standards means it'll work in just about any
country that has television. No matter where it is, the EH1020 projects
a bright, vivid (3000 lumens) and sharp (2200:1 contrast ratio) image
thanks to its Texas Instruments 0.65" Digital Light Processor Digital
Micromirror Device (DLP DMD). TI's DLP panels form images from not only
the primary colors red, green and blue, but also their complements,
cyan, magenta and yellow. The result is what many authorities agree is
the finest color reproduction possible.
With the EH1020 saving you money isn't a onetime deal but an ongoing
process. Use it in STD (standard) mode instead of BRIGHT mode and
energy use is 17 percent less while lamp life soars from an estimated
3000 hours to 4000 hours. And with its DLP DMD image engine there are
no filters that have to be periodically cleaned and replaced.
When you're ready to go you can pack it into its included carrying case
and tote it off to its next assignment immediately, thanks to its rapid
on/off feature. But don't be afraid to keep it in standby mode in
between classes or presentations. In standby mode the EH1020 sips less
than a single watt.
On the other hand, in a permanent installation you'll appreciate the
double physical security of a Kensington slot for an optional
Kensington lock and security bar through which you thread an optional
steel cable. This projector can do a lot of things but once you've
secured it, one thing it won't be doing is "walking away."
