Muzzer Posted April 9, 2007 Posted April 9, 2007 Check out the following link: http://www.homecinemachoice.com/cgi-bin/shownews.php?id=9167 It sounds like this could be the cure to colour wheel problems with DLP projectors plus improved image quality. Here's the link to the first projector with it. http://www.projectiondesign.com/ Look for the model M20 Interesting stuff
Foggy Posted April 9, 2007 Posted April 9, 2007 There's nothing new in this overpriced overhyped OEM'd Taiwanese projector. The Optoma HD72 and some Mitsubishi's, amongst others use the "BrilliantColor" technology.
quijibo Posted April 10, 2007 Posted April 10, 2007 I thought you were telling us the colour wheel had been replaced with some new technology and that rainbows were a thing of the past. This is not really new. I believe some other company announced something similar a while ago. The mitsu hc1100 and hc3100 have a colour wheel with different sized colour segments that produce the same effect. mitsu colour wheel image

Foggy, I don;t think those machines use the new colour wheel - they only use the software side of it. Also, I very much doubt this will have any impact on rainbows - will probably reducing dithering however....

About four years ago a salesman told me he put his house on the line as he was instrumental in developing the colour wheel. It apparently was his design. My BS detectors went off and even my girlfriend eyed him off with suspicion. He is still in the business and is in Perth W.A. That was another turning point for me. I thought I had heard just about everything. Ben

The BrilliantColor setting on the HC1100 turns the projected image from having fairly good colours to pretty much perfect. I read a review that said BrilliantColor was only good for increasing brightness, but it changes the whole image and makes everything look so natural. I should do a 100+ hours review and show some screen shots.

I am certain the colour wheel is the old RGB RGB style on this machine. I don't doubt the colours are improved with processing improvements, though certainly not to the extent of the processing coupled with the new colour wheel.
quijibo Posted April 10, 2007 Posted April 10, 2007 It is an RGBRGB style wheel but the segments are different sizes. I added a picture a few posts back which shows the colour wheel.

Ok, so they have tweeked the current design, though still don;t have the other colour segments, therefore this is not a full brilliantcolour implementation. Fact remains, the projection design unit is the first I think
