CEDIA 2010

The new Sharp ZV2-1700 is the first new 3D projector we've officially heard about at the show, but we know it won't be the last. It's a 1-chip DLP. Like the Quattron 3D sets it comes with 2 pair of active 3D shutter glasses. These are triggered not only by a IR link, but by DLP-Link as well. The latter places invisible white frames into the image periodically to trigger the glasses, which works better than the usual IR link for larger, more widely seated audiences——more likely with a projector than with a flat panel display.

The Sharp projector will be available in early 2011. Price TBD. It was not demonstrated at the Wednesday press event, but we expect to see one in action on the show floor in the next day or two and will report on it then.
