"While 1080p has been widely regarded as the top shelf standard for resolution quality and use for video-centric applications like HDTVs, we recognized that select businesses could stand to benefit more with pixel qualities that surpassed even that of 1080," said Anders Lokke, International Marketing & Communications Manager at projectiondesign. "WUXGA is incorporated inside our F10 WUXGA and F30 WUXGA projectors. This was something that our high-end visualization and simulation customers were asking for and we are proud to be the first to introduce and to deliver it to the market."
WUXGA is a popular resolution for high-performance desktop monitors and notebook computers, enabling users to match their projector resolution to their monitor resolution. Some commentators believe that it may be the resolution of choice in many industries that demand the highest performance. With more color performance and wide-screen resolution choices, there is a growing demand for higher quality images.
Jason Brameld, Senior Audio-Visual Design Consultant at Mark Johnson Consultants Ltd in the United Kingdom has reviewed the F30 WUXGA projector from projectiondesign which incorporates the new Texas Instruments' WUXGA resolution. He says, "WUXGA resolution and the F30 WUXGA projector caught our eye when it was first shown by projectiondesign at Integrated Systems Europe in January 2008. It immediately struck us as being a very good projector for high-resolution computer applications and it offers more of a computer centric resolution rather than the more typically video centric resolution of 1920 x 1080 offered by the other major manufacturers."
We'd definitely use the F30 WUXGA projector for computer based applications and corporate use. It's ideal for software demonstrations as well as visualization and any application involving display of fine detail or analysis of large amounts of data. This we believe is more of a specialized market and is ideal for corporate companies who can utilize the more specialist graphics capabilities without the need for scaling to 1080 resolution."
The industry is continually migrating towards higher quality resolution. Laptops are displaying wider screens as fields such as scientific visualization, computer imaging and simulation markets are benefiting from WUXGA technology as well.
"We listened to our customers and heard loud and clear the need for greater resolution. We are the first company to market this technology and we applaud projectiondesign for being the first to unveil their F10 and F30 WUXGA series projectors," said Lars Yoder, vice president and business manager, TI's DLP Front Projection Business Unit.
More DLP manufacturers will offer WUXGA projectors in the future.
