[All-Digital Imaging Projector] BenQ Intros SP290 DLP High-End UNISHAPE Projector with BrilliantColor Chipset

BenQ have taken the wraps off their new SP290 high-end DLP projector
which sports dual 280W lamps resulting in an impressive 6,000 lumens
output paired with OSRAM's UNIversal SHAPEd (UNISHAPE) Lamp Light
Technology which dynamically adapts both colour and brightness allowing
both to be optimised for optimum picture quality (circumventing the
catch-22 associated with many projectors whereby brightness comes at the
expense of colour saturation and vice versa).

Billed as being the perfect solution for cooperate, governmental and
educational use, BenQ's SP290 comes with the latest picture enhancing
technologies including Texas Instruments' DLP chip (the only all-digital
imaging chip currently available), the aforementioned UNISHAPE,
BrilliantColor processing and BenQ's proprietary 3D Color Management
system with the SP290's lamp life touted as being around 2000 hours -
though a 'Dual Reliable' will serve to extent lamp life to around 2000
hours by limiting the SP290's output to 4800 lumens whilst a 'Single
Alternative' mode will extend life still further, to around 4000 hours,
by limiting output to just 3000 lumens. And, should one lamp burn out
before the other, the SP290 will quite happily continue working using
just a single bulb.

Boasting integrated HDMI with HDCP, wall colour correction, security
password, presentation timer, customisable splash screen, a wired remote
and built-in speakers rated at 5W, BenQ's will become available in June
though BenQ's press release fails to furnish unit pricing details.
