Looking for a new way to stream content and considering XPR technology?
A smart projector is a device that extends or expands your computer’s output onto an external screen by shining and filtering light via small and transparent lens. Smart projectors can be a useful and entertaining accessory to your streaming rig or mobile device.
Live streamers and cinemaphiles can invest in a premium-quality projector with features like UHD/ultra 4K, good brightness, picture quality, vivid colors, and contrast ratio for little upfront cost and enjoy luxuries like home theaters and surround sound that weren’t available just 10 years ago.
And there are any number of options available. But which is best? Projectors with XPR built-in technology have gained popularity in recent years, but what is it?
What is XPR technology in projectors?
XPR technology refers to Texas Instruments’ Pixel-Shifting Technology, which enables projectors to display 4K ultra-quality resolution with 8.3 million pixels. The unique thing about projectors with XPR technology is that it produces true 4K picture quality regardless of the native pixels in the DMD chip.
The importance of XPR technology
Although you can use any number of components and accessories to build a home theater or gaming system, you can’t achieve your goals without a premium-quality projector. Investing in high-quality products means achieving true 4K resolution.
3840 x 2160 or 4096 x 2160 pixels are two general specifications to consider when purchasing a projector for 4K resolution. The higher the pixels, the more improved and vivid the picture quality.
Digital Light Processing (DLP) is a cutting-edge display technology implemented in projectors. The chip inside projectors uses pixel-shifting technology called XPR to achieve 4K resolution with 8.3 million pixels.
The technology exists to ensure your projector produces accurate depth, color, and true picture quality, whether you play a movie from your laptop or connect a gaming console to the projector.
4K UHD resolution
XPR technology combines premium-quality and efficient image processing capabilities with DMD’s mirrors and transforms picture quality at the microsecond level, enabling each mirror to project millions of pixels per frame.
As a result, it creates a 4K UHD image quality. In addition, projectors with XPR technology have an 8-color wheel or RGBWRGBW to improve the color ratio, increase resolution, and produce more vivid images.
Improves gaming experience
Gaming is a multi-billion-dollar industry, and companies develop consoles and games that align with modern technologies, such as augmented reality, virtual reality, and ultra-quality TV or LED screens.
If you want to play games in ultra 4K resolution (3840 x 1260 pixels), you need a TV, monitor, or computer screen that supports 4K technology. Most gamers love playing games on a projector screen, but the biggest problem they experience is low to average image quality/resolution of 1080p.
To exceed this threshold, your projector must support 4K resolution with built-in XPR technology. An XPR-enabled projector displays smoother, realistic, more lifelike, ultra-quality picture quality with more saturated colors to create fantastic and immersive gaming experiences.
Ultra-detailed images:
DLP + XPR technology in a projector can provide high contrast, optimal framerate, fast response time, high-quality pixel structure, and vivid colors. Remember that DLP projectors with no XPR technology can lead to color degradation due to low resolution.
Projectors with DLP + XPR technologies contain image quality information and process pixels to produce a clear, sharp, vivid, colorful, and realistic quality image on the big screen.
Final words
XPR technology has revolutionized the overall experiences for home theatres, brick-and-mortar stores to gamify or promote their products and services, and gamers to experience ultra 4K resolution on big screens. Until Next Time!
