The Power of 3 Creates Images that are Absolutely Amazing

I blogged about 3LCD technology last year and it seems to be an ongoing topic of interest so I wanted to explore the topic again.  

 

If you’re shopping for a home theatre projector but aren’t sure what the difference is between 3LCD and DLP technology I’m here to help! 3LCD is a sophisticated technology invented by Epson that utilizes three chips to deliver vibrant, true-to-life and consistent images – perfect for those who want the ultimate home theatre experience.   What makes Epson the #1 selling projector brand worldwide? 3LCD!   

 

How does 3LCD work?

A light source projects white light onto a combination of mirrors that split the light into its three basic video colours. Each LCD chip takes the electrical signal it receives and creates an image. The three colour images are combined using a prism to form a full-colour image consisting of millions of colours. The vibrant, full-colour image passes through a lens and is projected onto a screen resulting in clear and vibrant images, so true to life – you may not believe your eyes!

 

How does it differ from DLP?

One chip DLP projectors use a rotating colour wheel that spins at a rapid speed, only displaying colours sequentially, which can result in colour break-up or a “rainbow effect” where false colours are briefly perceived when either the image or the observer's eye is in motion.

 

When looking for a projector, think 3LCD – it will transform your favourite movies, sporting events and video games into stunning big screen extravaganzas!
