14 DAY TRIAL // Over the past few months, we've seen several projectors battle it out for the title of the "world's smallest", "world's brightest", "world's most powerful" etc. And while the definitive outcome regarding each of these "competitions" is yet to be decided, another company has joined the battle for the first category mentioned above. Thus, the Norwegians from projectiondesign have just announced, in preparation for CEDIA 2007, their Action! M25 model, which they claim (and for good reason, it seems) to be just about the world's smallest full HD projector.
The main reasons behind the company's bold statement is the fact that this device is truly quite petite, measuring around 3.7 inches in height, 9.2 inches in depth and around 10.8 inches in width (that's 9.4 cm x 23.4 cm x 27.4 cm in metrics, if you were perhaps wondering). However, despite its size, it provides some pretty advanced features, mainly due to the built-in BrilliantColor technology provided by Texas Instruments.
Thus, the Action! M25 is a compact 1080p single-chip model that comes complete with full HD 1080 resolution, high-quality 10-bit video processing and HDMI 1.3 compatibility. It uses the Texas Instruments 0.95-inch 1080p DMD with BrilliantColor technology for the best possible image quality, thus adding a new dimension to colors by reproducing a wider color spectrum and by increasing saturation in the difficult secondary colors.
The projection device also includes a seven-segment, 5x color wheel and brightness of up to 1,000 lumens and comes packed with the company's proprietary RealColor color management suite, which provides enhanced tracking capabilities for gray scale throughout the dynamic range, resulting in a better video color reproduction.
"The M25 is terrific. It's compact, easy to use and delivers a picture that's as close to real life as any you've ever seen," says Gary Plavin, projectiondesign LLC president. While the president's statement is, quite obviously, very biased, I'm still waiting for a full set of specs and pricing details before further commenting on the subject.
