Sony's bombshell was their announcement of the VPL-VW100 LCOS 1080p front projector. OK, I honestly don't know if Sony's announcement had anything to do with TI's timeline, but I found it interesting that, at CEDIA, there were no 1080p DLP front projectors, and, at CES three months later, there were a half dozen. After all, where was the competition? At CEDIA 2005, Sony forced their hand. ![]() Texas Instruments was pretty candid about not needing to rush in to a 1080p front projector chip. With a screen of 90 or 100 inches, you can use every bit of detail you can get. ![]() Where that level of detail is really useful is with projection. Your eye just can't resolve that kind of detail at the distance just about everyone sits from their TV. I've been saying it since the first 1080p displays hit the market: There's no need for 1080p on a screen smaller than 65 inches.
