Mitsubishi Rolls Out 1080p DLP Display with Integrated DVR
April 12, 2005
Orlando, FL - Mitsubishi Digital Electronics is adding digital video recording capabilities in its new Diamond line of microdisplay HDTVs.
All of its new fully integrated Diamond models feature Texas Instruments Digital Light Processing technology, an internal hard disc drive (digital video recorder) and two high-definition tuners, the company has anounced.
Mitsubishi's new Diamond series 62-inch WD-62827 and 73-inch WD-73827 include an internal 160GB hard disc drive, allowing up to 16 hours of HD recording, while the 62-inch WD-62927 and 73-inch WD-73927 have a 250GB hard drive capable of recording up to 25 hours of HD content. Each comes with two HDTV tuners, enabling the user to record a high-definition program while watching another channel or other content. All four models employ a 150W lamp for super bright images, and Mitsubishi's most advanced, removable anti-glare shield.
These new Diamond HDTVs also sport new cabinetry: high-gloss black for the 827 series and high-tech silver for the 927 series. They feature 1920 x 1080p resolution and Mitsubishi's proprietary Dark Detailer and Plush imaging system to display the perfect picture every time. Plush imaging includes DeepField imager and SharpEdge technology, as well as Plush1080p, Mitsubishi's third-generation upconversion system updated for 1080i-to-1080p deinterlacing.
All four televisions have two HDMI inputs, three component video inputs and a nine-format memory card reader. The 927 series also comes with a dedicated PC input, added specifically to complement HD media center PCs.
All four are Digital Cable Ready using CableCARD, with a front panel IEEE-1394 jack and a DV decoder to allow easy playback from digital video camcorders.
In separate announcements, Mitsubishi Digital Electronics America introduced its new lines of high-definition LCD and plasma flat panel displays, and Digital Cable Ready 1080p DLP microdisplay HDTVs.
