Silicon Image Introduces 300MHz Port Processors and Transmitter Supporting HDMI®1.4a



Silicon Image (NASDAQ:SIMG), a leading provider of wired and wireless HD connectivity solutions, today announced two port processors, the SiI9587-3 and SiI9589-3, and the SiI9136-3 HDMI transmitter—all supporting HDMI® 1.4a with 300MHz speeds. Next-generation consumer electronics (CE) products – such as 4Kx2K DTVs, 4Kx2K camcorders, and 3D gaming systems – are expected to support 300MHz HDMI interfaces to transmit and display the latest 4K content and high frame-rate 1080p full HD 3D games.

Yes, this means support for 1080p at 60Hz per eye on 3D displays over HDMI if you wondered...

Finally. Thats what I'm talking about. Funny thing, I probably will still buy the 720P projector I had my eyes on.

Same here, I had my eye on this one, Acer H5360BD - Colorboost 3D, http://www.projectorshop24.co.uk/acer-p ... froogle_uk
What do you think? It a 720 p projector or I go back to the Samsung 1080p 3d 32 inch LED, http://www.johnlewis.com/231209827/Prod ... ViewedList

I can make my mind up?

SilverSurfer, I think it mainly depends on your usage. If you have enough space for a projector, I'd say go for it. Even in 2D it's leagues away from a 32" TV (which I also own) in terms of immersion, and In 3D it's even greater. And the Samsung LED are not supposed to be the best bang for the buck in 3D TVs, a lot more ghosting than anything out there. DLP projectors are on a different planet.

@Silversurfer: Yes, that Acer H5360BD is the one I have my eyes one. Seemed to get decent reviews from people on AVS (though some said it was too bright in 2D, no problem for me as I want 3D only). There is no US release date, but I will just save money in the meantime.

Too bright in 2D ? Don't they know they can modify the brightness or use the ECO mode ?

Yes, it doesn't make sense to me either, but at least 2 people said that. Overall people seem to be happy with it, and the original model got rave reviews from most users.
