JVC is the next company to take on 4K DLP technology with the LX-UH1-- a more affordable single-chip projector featuring a 0.47-inch TRP digital micromirror devices (DMP) aimed at home cinema use.

The LX-UH1 uses an RGBRGB colour wheel to cover 100% of the Rec. 709 colour space. It also downscales wider colour gamuts, and is compatible with both HDR10 and HLG HDR formats. Customers can engage a two-position automatic aperture when viewing HDR content, allowing more dynamic imagery.

Optoma announces a lower-cost 4K projector option-- the UHD51, a single chip DLP projector featuring Texas Instruments XPR technology aimed for use as a UHD home theatre display.

The UHD51 is interesting since it is the first in the Optoma 4K range to support full 3D, something absent from all 4K TVs in the market. It is also HDR compatible, and features connectivity through x2 HDMIs (one 4K HDCP 2.2 capable) and a USB power port for streaming from an HDMI dongle.

Sony launches a pocket-size option for customers wanting a portable projector solution-- the MP-CD1, a projector measuring just 8cm and 15cm able to beam a 120-inch image from 3.45m distance.

First presented back at CES 2018, the MP-CD1 projects 854 x 480 resolution images at 105 lumens brightness. Texas Instruments DLP IntelliBright processing technology promises to boost brightness without compromising battery consumption, with a dynamic mode boosting projection brightness and saturation. An auto keystone correction system adjusts the image in case the projector is not on a flat surface, correcting the image to eliminate lean.

Vivitek announces an addition to the Qumi LED pocket projector series-- the Q38, a projector weighing just 750g able to project 1080p resolution images up to 130-inch in size.

The Q38 offers 600 lumens brightness as well as 10000:1 contrast ratio via LED light source promising 30000 hours of use. An internal battery provides up to 2 hours of use on a single charge. Audio is included through integrated dual 2W speakers, and customers can pair the projector to a compatible sound system via Bluetooth. Wireless connectivity also allows users to connect the projector to the internet and project HD digital content.
