Texas Instruments Preps 1080p DLP Chips

Trusted Reviews and DigiTimes are both reporting that Texas Instruments are prepping their 1080P chips for mass production.

“At the moment, the best that DLP can support is 720p, which means that 1080i and 1080p material has to be down-sampled. With the new chips, 1080p source material will be viewable at native resolution. Currently, High Definition material is broadcast in the US and Japan at either 720p or 1080i with 1080p material limited to professioanl production and archiving use.

The move to 1080p for DLP, means that we can expect projectors that offer native support to be available in the UK by the time Sky begins its 1080i broadcasts in 2006, though it is likely that these will be limited to expensive high-end products.”
