DNIe implementation

Post by rgoltra »

Rodolfo La Maestra, please discuss/explain implementation of DNIe in the new 1080p DLP HDTV sets, especially Samsung and Hewlett Packard in whose new sets the implementation, called "Wobulation", is said to cause several problems, degrading the images. C/Net reviewers regret that the DNIe process cannot be switched off.

Sorry I did not see this post before, I normally do not participate in forums and I just saw it because it as sent to me by the new service Shane implemented of sending unanswered forum posts to the Tips List, which I think it help us help better more people, my primary objective.

There are issues that have been discussed several times, in the AVSforum you could find exchanges about the subjects that would explain better the concepts you address.

I personally rather have a true 1080x1920 DLP chip than one that "makes you believe" you are seeing 1080x1920 at the same time interval, like wobulation. The true 1080p chip for FPTV is actually out and I have seen the Optoma 81, Sharp, and others that have projected great images, without wobulation, but still using the color-wheel because is only one chip in the design, for $10K-$13K those projectors are very appealing, as the new Ruby SXRD 1080p from Sony is as well for $10K.

Regarding DNIe, I personally never was impressed with the technology, every manufacturer has their own secret set of tricks to process poor video and make it look better, however I would never buy a set that can not defeat that from the remote, similar to what SVM did on the early days of it.

I not observed the combined effect of the two together any differently than what they do separately, so I can not comment if acting as a pair would cause more damaging than each individually, but I would certainly look into it, although I believe wobulation might be disappearing in the near future now that they can have the chip and manufacturers might request TI to supply a similar chip for massive production of true 1080p sets, in competing with LCoS (SXRD, DILA) true 1080p chips as well.

Accoring to TI they will be listening to what manufacturers want to produce, if ther is a market for it, it will come, and chips will be cheaper enough to use them on lower cost RPTVs when produced in large quantity.

Best Regards,
