The new Vision Model 25 and Model 45 feature single-chip DLP engines, and offer custom installers expanded flexibility in installing a quality home theater system. The Model 45 (also available in an extended throw lens option, Model 45ET) features 720p high definition performance, light output of 1000 ANSI lumens and a contrast ratio of 1700:1, while the Model25 (and extended throw 25ET) delivers widescreen performance, 900 ANSI lumens of light… Read More

Vidikron has incorporated 3-chip, high definition DLP technology with a specially designed LightAmp engine developed by Vidikron engineers to provide a blend of high quality image reproduction andhigh light output. As a result, the Model 100 produces a light output of 3500 ANSI lumens (CSMS Light Output of 78.5 ft-Lamberts). The Model 100′s 16:9 native aspect ratio DMD array makes it ideal for widescreen viewing, while its 3-chip, 1280 x… Read More

The Model 60 offers high quality home theater video performance in a chassis with Italian inspired styling and a soft white finish to blend seamlessly with any decor. The Model 60′s optical light engine design and Vidikron's incorporation of three D-ILA chips, rather than a lower cost one-chip design, result in low noise without the flicker and the "rainboweffect" that often plague one-chip digital video display devices. Vidikron… Read More

Quote from the review: “Overall, I found the Samsung DVD-HD931 to be a great DVD player in its standard modes or with DVI. However, along with my positive impressions, there were a few features that I found could use some improvement. First, the DVI 720p/1080i upscaling function is not accesssible from remote. There is no aspect ratio control when using the DVI function. Only widescreen DVDs will be displayed correctly. 4×3… Read More

This card contains all of the video processing circuitry necessary for superb image reproduction. In addition, several significant improvements have been engineered into the Vivix processing circuitry. Orthogonal line processing and deinterlacing have been incorporated, and a sophisticated video decoder is used that compensates for time-base errors commonly found in analog sources such as video tape. These new orthogonal algorithms… Read More
