Key Features of the Optoma RD50


Optoma RD50 DLP Monitor

To get the most out of the HDTV revolution, check out the world's finest HDTV line: OptomaTV. With breakthrough DLP™ technology, OptomaTVs deliver unparalleled clarity, contrast, and color. Image quality is further enhanced with pure digital signal processing from source to screen, 720 progressive scan resolution, and native 16:9 widescreen format which eliminates image distortion.

The RD50 is HDTV-ready at native 16:9 format for 480p, 576p, 1080i and 720p signals. Precision Pixel Matching (PPM) technology delivers 1:1 scan conversion. The Silicon Image DVDO de-interdelacer produces artifact-free motion and sharper on-screen images. Multiple connectors include DVI, BNC RGB, composite, S-video, RF, VGA and YPbPr. The DVI connector ensures compatibility with future digital devices including digital cameras and game machines.

The RD50 has individual picture adjustment memory for each input source. Nine display formats means flexible resizing and display. Includes two-tuner Picture-In-Picture (PIP) and Picture-Outside-Picture (POP), favorite channel memory, two built-in 15 watt stereo speakers, and an intuitive on-screen display for easy operation.


DLP TV Technology

HD2 DLP Display
OptomaTV HDTVs feature state-of-the-art Texas Instruments HD2 Digital Light Processing (DLP™) technology. Unlike ordinary projection, plasma, or CRT televisions, DLP™ technology delivers crystal-clear images without fading, distortion, fuzziness, or burn-in.

Wide Viewing Angle
OptomaTV’s bright, high-contrast screen allows an extremely wide viewing angle. Because HDTV’s sharp onscreen images allow viewers to sit closer to the screen, a wide viewing angle lets everyone enjoy the show.

True 16:9 Aspect Ratio
OptomaTV’s true 16:9 aspect ratio delivers widescreen viewing without distortion or letterboxing. DLP™ technology also means 4:3 images can be viewed without burning in the screen’s edges.

Fine Pitch Screen
OptomaTV’s fine pitch screen (0.15 mm versus 0.5 mm industry average) provides ultra-fine image detail while a special screen coating virtually eliminates glare.

Progressive Scan Image Processing
Silicon Image DVDO progressive scan image processor combines the two interlaced fields of ordinary NTSC, VCR, DVD, and video camera signals into one progressive signal. The result is sharp, steady, higher-resolution images with flicker-free motion.

Input/Output Terminals

Component video inputs available: 1 x Y/Pb/Pr/H/V RCA x 5 (480i interlaced) 1 x Y/Pb/Pr/H/V RCA x 5 (480p progressive) 1 x Y/Pb/Pr/H/V BNC x 5 (480p progressive)

Other Features

No Burn-in or Convergence Problems
OptomaTV’s single-chip DLP™ technology means the onscreen image is always perfectly aligned and will never burn in or degrade like LCD and CRT projection TVs.

Picture-Outside-Picture
OptomaTV’s Picture-Outside-Picture (POP) feature delivers two high-resolution images side-by-side, from any of 13 digital or analog input sources.

Picture-In-Picture
OptomaTV’s Picture-In-Picture (PIP) feature delivers two high-resolution images onscreen in multiple positions, from any of 13 digital or analog input sources.

Slim Design
Slim, lightweight designs make OptomaTVs exceptionally easy to deliver and position.
