Optoma unveils follow up to award winning HD28DSE projector, HD29Darbee
Optoma has unveiled the follow up to its multi-award winning HD28DSE home entertainment projector.
Called the HD29Darbee, this new model is brighter, smaller, and quieter than its predecessor – ideal for those who love to watch films, TV and sport or play action packed games without having to dim the lights.
The new HD29Darbee boasts integrated DARBEE Visual Presence™ image enhancement technology for improved levels of depth, clarity and realism while Enhanced Gaming Mode is also included for games that depend on fast reaction time.
Created for Full HD 1080p home entertainment, this new portable projector takes colour accuracy a step further with support for industry standard Rec. 709 for high-definition colour reproduction. In addition, Optoma’s Amazing Colour technology ensures vibrant, long-lasting and accurate colours, claims the manufacturer.
Weighing less than 2.5kg, the HD29Darbee can be taken round to a friend’s house using the optional carry bag for a sports event, movie night or games marathon for the best big screen experience anywhere with a flat surface.
Two HDMI inputs enable an easy setup – perfect for connecting a laptop, PC, Blu-ray player, media streamer or games console. This projector also works with Optoma’s WHD200 which is designed to stream video content wirelessly – up to 20 metres in any room.
For added convenience, the HD29Darbee comes complete with an integrated speaker that delivers powerful 10W audio. An audio output is also included, enabling connection to external sound systems.
Says Joe Ahmed, Head of Marketing at Optoma EMEA:
“Building on the success of the popular HD28DSE, the new HD29Darbee is an all-round home entertainment projector with added innovation – Darbee Visual Presence processing.
“The addition of higher brightness, smaller chassis, quieter operation and an enhanced colour wheel make this model an extremely convenient choice for use in any living space.”
