Agile ICT recommend using DLP Technology in projectors

DLP (Digital Light Processing) this refers to the internal mechanisms that the projector uses to compose the image.

The ideal classroom projector in a normal setup is the Mitsubishi XD221U. This is a high quality, good value projector for using in schools – please see the attached pdf. These projectors come with an educational 3 year de install re install warranty and they also provide a 3 year lamp warranty on usage up to 70 hours per week. Digital Light Processing™ is the world's only all-digital display solution. DLP™ technology uses an optical semiconductor, known as the Digital Micromirror Device, or DMD chip to recreate source material, because pixels are much closer together the image is much sharper. This doesn't make so much difference with data, but it produces smoother images for video.

Comparing an LCD projector and DLP projectors, DLP projectors have:

• Higher contrast achievable
• DLP has sealed optics which makes them better for use in a dusty environment
• DLP projectors are generally more portable as fewer components are required
• No filters to clean or regularly replace
• Brilliant Colour technology, allows for 6 colours to be processed instead of 3 (LCD)
• Compact and lightweight
• Superb Readability
• Picture Reliability
