Digital Projection Delivers Dynamic Improvement to Mercury HD Projector Contrast Ratio

KENNESAW, GA, - Digital Projection International (DPI), an
Emmy Award-winning manufacturer of high-performance projection
systems, announced an improved contrast ratio of its MERCURY HD home
entertainment projector. The contrast ratio has been increased nearly
fifty-percent, from 2800:1 to 4000:1.

Already highly regarded for its imaging quality and host of features
relative to its price, DPI feels the contrast upgrade positions the MERCURY
HD to deliver an absolute best-in-class viewing experience.

While creating the
highest-contrast home entertainment projectors available today, DPI
was also able to retain the full ANSI lumen light output of 1,600 lumens,
further positioning the MERCURY HD as the best choice for home cinema,
home media and entertainment applications of varying screen sizes.

"There is no factor more important to having the ultimate cinema experience
at home than picture quality," said George Walter, home cinema
marketing manager, Digital Projection, Inc. "By improving the MERCURY HD's
contrast, yet still providing enough brightness for screens up to
15-feet-wide, Digital Projection has set a new benchmark for home
entertainment projectors, of any class."

DPI recently announced other upgrades to the MERCURY HD, in addition to
higher the contrast, including an ultra-low noise level of less than
35db, which is achieved through a novel approach to chassis cooling.

"We're working as hard today as we did at the genesis of our company in
1989, to advance the capabilities of projection technology," added Walter.
"The recent improvements we've made to our MERCURY HD are evidence of the
commitment to innovation and world-class visual entertainment that
defines our company and the Digital Projection brand."

All current and future shipments of the native 720p MERCURY HD feature the
contrast improvement.
