Features
The Optoma TX536 packs a lot of features into a surprisingly affordable package. Its 2800 lumens of projection power combined with its 3000:1 contrastratio means it will provide a rich, vivid image in medium to large rooms even with some ambient light to contend with.
The TX536's star attraction must surely be its Texas Instruments DMD DLP chip. This 0.55" chip processes not just the three primary colors that all otherchips work on, red, green and blue, but also their complements: cyan, magenta and yellow. As a result colors are so clear and lifelike that TI calls itslatest version of the technology BrilliantColor. DLP chips with BrilliantColor increase the brightness of colors by 50 percent vs. DLP chips without it. Anadded advantage of this chip is that it requires no filter that has to be periodically cleaned and replaced, an operation that can be risky in ceilingmounted installations.
Another key attraction of this projector is its versatility and compatibility. Its power supply can auto switch between inputs of 100 and 240 Volts AC at50/60 Hz. It's also compatible with about 40 PC and Mac resolution and frequency combinations so it's ideal for laptop-based business presentations.
But perhaps the business world is the furthest thing from your mind. You just want to watch some television. You're in luck. The TX536 is compatible withvideo signals in the NTSC, NTSC 4.43, PAL, B, D, G, H, I, M, N and SECAM B, D, G, K, K1, L standards. And it can do 720p, 1080i and 1080p high definition.Just plug it into a cable, satellite box or TV with a video out jack and you're good to go.
There's a lot to like in the TX536 so you'll want to secure your investment. There's a control panel lock, password protection and a security bar throughwhich you can lace a security cable (available separately).
If you're looking for projection power, rich, vivid color and versatility in a very affordable package, the TX536 may be just the projector you're lookingfor.
- 2800 Lumens and a 3000:1 Contrast Ratio
- The combination of 2800 lumens of light output and a 3000:1 contrast ratio is rare in a projector so affordable. It means that even if you don'twatch in movie-theater darkness you'll enjoy a bright, vivid image.
- DMD DLP Technology by Texas Instruments
- Those bright, vivid images are courtesy of TI's Digital Micromirror Device Digital Light Processer. That's a long name for a tiny but brilliantchip. In fact TI calls the chip's output BrilliantColor. This technology processes not just the primary colors of red, green and blue but alsotheir complements, cyan, magenta and yellow. BrilliantColor not only improves color accuracy, it brightens secondary colors as well. Thiscombination produces a new level of color performance that increases the brightness of the colors by up to 50% over DLP projectors withoutBrilliantColor for accurate, true-to-life images. A bonus of DLP chips is that they don't require filters that have to be periodically cleaned andreplaced thus saving you time and money.
- Digital Keystone Correction
- "Keystoning" happens when the projector lens is not exactly parallel with the projection surface causing opposite sides of the image to bedifferent lengths. The TX536 can correct keystoning of plus or minus a range of 40 degrees.
- World-Wide Compatibility And HDTV
- This projector can accept from 100 to 240 volts at 50/60 Hz and it can accept and project television standards that range from the North Americanstandard NTSC to NTSC 4.43, PAL (B, D, G, H, I, M, N) and SECAM (B, D, G, K, K1, L). It also can accept and display these STDV and HDTV standards:480i, 480p, 576i, 576p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p.
