So far we have covered a lot of projectors here on Cyber Theater but these projectors are useless if they don’t have reliable projector screens to hold the display and visuals that we plan to see. With that in mind, specialized projector screens such as the Elite Screens VMAX2 Electric projection Screen may be the solution to your needs.

The VMAX2 projection screen is a mutli-purpose electric/motorized screen made of MAX White material. This projection screen is made from durable materials and is easy to clean. It even comes with a 160 degree wide viewing angle which should be ideal for larger audience viewing. It comes standard with a 6″Inch standard top black masking. 6-18″ Inch optional L-Brackets, and In Ceiling Trim Kit are available for installation.

OSRAM unveils new LEDs to address the needed improvement in visualization for small projection devices up to home cinema systems. The company has unveiled the OSTAR Compact and OSTAR Power Projection, both aiming to provide better visuals as required by consumers today.

• OSTAR Compact expands the OSRAM family of LEDs for small applications at the lower end of the performance range. It measures only 3.9 mm x 3.6 mm and is available in red, blue, green and white. These new small LEDs are cost-effective components, particularly for pico projectors for small mobile devices.
• The OSTAR Power Projection LED brings a new dimension to projection applications delivering high performance and low thermal resistance. It can be operated at a maximum of 36A and produces light of impressive brightness.

Typical values are 2700 lm in red, 3500 lm in green and an optical output of 13 W in blue. While the dimensions of 45 mm x 25 mm seem large for a standard LED, the thermal resistance is only 0.77 K/W. This LED is suitable for all types of cooling, including water cooling.

With such new innovations, the side of LED requirements in projectors, both big and small may finally be addressed. We have seen this area placed under criticism due to poor performance but for sure, these new enhancements will put all those areas to rest to render the proper projection that should be due for consumers via their gadgets today.

LCD TVs have been criticized for being power moochers but as soon as the line is drawn on adhering towards energy efficiency standards, you can bet that all of these issues will be laid to rest. The call for energy efficiency has been buzzing around and as far as the LCD TV market is concerned, the need to make sure that no sacrifice in quality and that consumers get what they are paying for must be satisfied.

”We are proud to be at the forefront of helping make LCD TVs better, more energy efficient and in many ways a “greener” product for the world’s consumers, and will continue these efforts in conjunction with companies, brands and governmental organizations in the future,” noted Bruce Berkoff, Chairman of the LCD TV Association.
