dynamic contrast ratio of more than
100,000:1. It maximises black and

Dynamic Lamp Control
Technology for 3D
When each of the shutters on the 3D
glasses opens, Dynamic Lamp Control
Technology automatically boosts the
brightness (approximately 3x brighter)
in the image to that eye, maximising
the picture’s impact and the lamp’s
efficiency. This means that you will
not lose any brightness and attain the
optimal visual experience from the
comfort of your own home.

Built-in 3D Sync Transmitter
You can synchronise the projector
with the 3D glasses thanks to the 3D
synchronous transmitter built into the
front of the projector, thus reducing
set-up time and removing the need for
extra cabling.
