Hello, everyone! Happy Tuesday. April is scooting by quickly because it seems like I was just sending y’all a newsletter. But no worries, there is plenty of news in this issue with a follow-up to the featured column from last time. In this issue, Mark Coxon writes more about picking the best projector for your project. Here, he writes about 4K resolution and how to tell whether a projector is truly native 4K.
Enjoy and I hope you have a fabulous rest of the week!
To start at the beginning, many projectors tout a 4K resolution, however, the components inside the machine are not actually producing a native 4K image. They are utilizing an LCD or DLP engine that is likely either 1080p native resolution or 2560×1600 (WQXGA) native resolution, and then they are “moving” that engine at 180 or 240Hz to create a larger pixel map by double/triple/quadruple flashing the chip for every frame.
