Features
The projector is a 1080p model and comes with a 3LCD chipset, which is unusual in these days of DarkChip4 DLP designs. The projector is capable of a 13,000:1 contrast ratio, which we suspect is a dynamic rating given this is an LCD model. Also setting the ViewSonic apart from the crowd is the Silicon Optix HQV video processor, which has yet to break the mainstream like the Faroudja DCDi chipset has, but is the better option nonetheless. Further HQV post-processing can be applied and tailored to the content you're watching: E.g. detail enhancement, film mode detection, and advanced noise reduction.The projector also features a motorized 1.6x zoom and lens shift (250 per cent vertical, 120 per cent horizontal) as well as a significant amount of digital keystone capability to offset projection screen misalignment. For connectivity, the Pro8100 features two HDMI terminals, a pair of component-video and a VGA port.
Lastly, it's rated at 23dB and while it makes no claims about a specific "whisper mode" we were surprised by how quiet this projector actually was--especially given its size.
