Optoma W460 DLP Projector Native Resolution 1280x800 Contrast Ratio 20000:1 Support 3D Projector

The Optoma W460 has DLP technology, which uses a color wheel rather than panels to produce its colors. Unlike 3LCD projectors, DLPs do not have as many color lumens as white ones, which can, in some cases, lead to a more washed out image when in the presence of ambient light. With that 4,600 lumen claim, however, this shouldn't be much of an issue, but we'll get more into color on our Picture and Sound Quality page. The W460 is a WXGA (1280 x 800) resolution projector. WXGA is the business and education worlds' 720p, with WUXGA (1920 x 1200) being akin to 1080p. The Optoma W460's resolution should be plenty sharp for most classroom and conference room applications WUXGA would really only be necessary for presentations in the engineering, medical, and graphic fields where an incredible sharp image may be required. The difference between these resolutions, aside from the amount of pixels, is the size of those pixels WUXGA is sharper because it has smaller pixels.
