Rear-projection TVs go high-def

Rear-projection TVs have been undergoing a makeover in the past year and are now being propelled into the high-definition space thanks to some new processors. Texas Instruments, inventor of DLP projection processors which now dominate the projector arena, has launched two new HD chips for HDTVs. Rear-projection TVs used to be huge beasts, standing up to five feet high and three feet deep. The new generation of models are a lot slimmer, often measuring less than a foot deep but still sporting massive screens and lower price tags than LCD and plasma flat screens. Ti_new_dlp_chipsWith the new 720p and 1080p DLP chipsets, expect to see a slew of HD rear-projection models on the way. The two processors are the 45in 720p and the 65in 1080p DLP chips. Both chipsets feature BrilliantColor technology which extends DLP colour processing from three to six colours and boosts screen brightness by up to 50%. Samsung will be the first to use the new chips in rear-projection TVs in the coming months.
