Vidikron has announced two new high-technology home theater projectors to become available 3rd Quarter 2004. The introduction of these two models continues to advance Vidikronís commitment to enhancing the lifestyle of consumers seeking higher-end products that offer state-of-the-art performance in a contemporary home environment. That quest combines superb picture quality with ease of use ergonomics, pleasing product styling and flexible usage. ìD-ILA technology has come a long way and is capable of producing some of the smoothest images available in digital projection. Tremendous detail, richly saturated colors and outstanding black level reproduction are hallmarks of our Model 60. Not to mention the incredible styling that makes this projector a gorgeous centerpiece for any environment,î said Bob Hana, President of Vidikron.Hana added, ìMost high-end video projectors are intended for use in dedicated home theater environments with controlled lighting. Not everyone wishes to dedicate a room solely for home theater; many prefer to have systems in the rooms they use for every-day living, without the inconvenience of an expensive dedicated theater, often isolated from household activities. This is just why our Model 100 was created.î The Vidikron Vision Model 60 is a 3-chip unit utilizing advanced D-ILA technology for exceptional resolution and video clarity.
