LCD projectors offer several advantages over other displays. In addition to the capacity to resize pictures to match screens in different environments, LCD projectors are in a league apart from PC monitors and TV sets in the sheer size of the image they can project. Their ability to focus the attention of large groups of viewers makes them powerful tools for persuasive presentations. And projectors are more versatile, fitting in nearly anywhere at home or work.
Still, some discerning users seeking exceptional picture quality have been unsatisfied with the "rough" images produced by LCD projectors. Until now, their performance simply didn't meet the most critical of standards. Enter the Canon SX50 Power Projector and its successor, the SX60, which herald the demise of these reservations. What technologies underlie these projectors, which offer the sharpness of PC monitors and superb picture quality rivaling theater projectors?
