Wow, that article read like sooo much total BS, it wasn't funny. But, the tale of the tape will be what actually comes to fruition from their claim as breakthrough technology. I have a two year old (and the design is a year beyond that) 61" RP-DLP InFocus that's less than 7" thick if I don't include the mounting brackets. It looks good and has held up well, but suffers from visible moire patterns in the upper corners, image softness at all corners and is particularly susceptible to uneven lighting and like all rear projection setups, reduced viewing angles. InFocus' claim to fame with their thin RP's was a compact, but heavily manipulated light path that sounds a lot like what these guys describe as "a bad thing", likely with many of those mirror, fresnel and magnifying elements, only more than your average RP includes. But hopefully, Luminoz' low depth RP technology will progress to the point that there are dramatic improvements all around and aren't just literal smoke and mirrors.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
