SIM2's Grand Cinema MICO 50 is a DLP-based projector that employs the latest LED technologies to provide homeowners with a bright and colorful video experience. Through the use of LED lighting technologies, the MICO 50 eliminates the need for power-consuming UHP lamps and color wheels to produce an image with stable color characteristics without periodic maintenance.

The LED projector offers:

• 1920x1080 resolution
• Contrast ratio up to 100,000:1
• Stable color characteristics over its lifetime (typically less than 5 percent variance)
• The ability to deliver fast sequential color picture information, without the use of an optical color wheel
• Instant power on/off (less than 1 millisecond)
• Low noise due to a liquid cooling system
• Estimated lifetime of 30,000 hours

According to Screen Excellence, its unity gain Enlightor 1 has the lowest insertion loss of any acoustically transparent screen on the market. The screen can be ordered in fixed frame and motorized versions, as well as a choice of aspect ratios.

Enlightor 1 uses a proprietary woven structure made up of a compound PVC thread. Its design eliminates any moiré effect that is often produced by fixed pixel projectors when shown on conventional perforated or micro-perforated screens.
