Optoma launches the HD39Darbee-- a portable HD projector ideal for movie fans and gamers featuring Darbee Visual Presence image enhancement for increased contrast and colour saturation.

The projector weighs less than 3kg, and can be carried around in an optional carry bag for any event or gaming session. It is also small yet bright enough for media room installations, with brightness reaching 3500 lumens and fast response time of 16ms.

Resolution clocks at 1080p, while the Rec.709 colour depth is bolstered by Optoma Amazing Colour technology. A variety of preset modes and settings allow users to match any application or environment, and a 1.6x zoom with vertical lens shift simplifies positioning for a wide choice of screen sizes.

Crystal Screens announces the Reflect 3.0-- a 130-inch diagonal screen tailored for high-end home cinemas, featuring holographic technology the company says rejects all kind of ambient light sources.

The screen also provides uniform optical performance over all colour spectrums, as well as excellent contrast and black levels in bright, dim or dark environments. It comes in the increasingly popular 2.4:1 aspect ratio, aka CinemaScope.

Seymour-Screen Excellence claims the Enlightor-Neo is the smoothest acoustically transparent film screen, with a thin-fabric pattern so finely woven it is nearly impossible to detect, even from a short distance.

An evolution of the company's Enlightor-4K AT screen, the Neo is more matte, higher gain and promises improved acoustic attenuation. The surface features a newly-woven pattern which improves audio and video performance. Like Enlightor-4K, Neo is rated for 4K and higher resolutions, and delivers enhanced HDR performance.

The matte finish is improved (1.0 gain) while the look is slightly brighter than Enlightor-4K (0.9). It also has more "stretch," meaning it can be pulled tauter than other AT surfaces on the market. This makes it ideal for difficult custom applications such as motorised retractable applications.

Optoma launches the IntelliGO-S1-- a projector powered by Android OS, with an included Aptoide open source app store offering over 700000 apps, including streaming services such as Amazon, Hulu, Netflix, Pandora and Spotify.

The projector includes 8GB of storage, built-in media player and wireless connectivity, ensuring playback of virtually any media. Customers can also play content via USB drive or micro SD card, as well as Android/iOS device screen mirroring via wifi. Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity allows the addition of speakers, headphones, mouse and even keyboards.

Actual projection comes through RGB LED light source with a lifetime reaching 20000 hours. Image resolution is up to 1280 x 800, with 500 lumens brightness and 15000:1 contrast ratio. Built-in 2W speakers provide audio.

BenQ announces the MH530FHD-- a home entertainment projector featuring native 1080p (1920x1080) resolution, 3D capability, brightness reaching 3300 ANSI lumens and 15000:1 contrast ratio.

It also features 1.2x zoom, keystone correction and audio via built-in 2W speaker. Connectivity comes through dual HDMI inputs, and a Quick Install button instantly accesses installation-friendly features. Projected image size reaches up to 300-inch.

BenQ announces a flagship home cinema projector-- the HT9050, a native 3840x2160 resolution 4K UHD projector powered by Philips ColorSpark HLD LEDs and BenQ CinematicColor technology.

As a result, the projector can produce the DCI-P3 colour space, a gamut encompassing a larger portion of the visible colour spectrum than RGB and Rec. 709. In addition, ColorSpark HLD LED technology combines green light four times as bright as conventional green LEDs via high-lumen-density phosphor module with high-brightness red and blue LEDs.

The company adds lamp life clocks at 20000 hours, and the lamp is both mercury-free and maintenance-free, with instant on/off response. Contrast ratio is 50000:1, while brightness reaches 2200 ANSI lumens. The included CinemaMaster image processing technology is ISFcc certified, and the projector supports 2.35:1 anamorphic aspect ratio.
