CES Day 2: Yamaha

Yamaha displayed its flagship DPX-1300 DLP projector, but also featured this new $4000 DLP, the DPX-830SL. It claims a 4000:1 contrast ratio, with a new 1280x768 DLP chip (we're still trying to figure out that odd aspect ratio—popular in computers but unusual for a home theater device. It also features TI's new BrilliantColor technology. (Interestingly, Mitsubishi's HC3000U DLP front projector also has BrilliantColor and a 1280x768 chip). The DPC-830SL is expected to ship in May. —TJN
