Texas Instruments developed an amazing technology known as a Digital Light Processing and started out fresh in the digital cinema industry.

It is currently one of the top technologies used today in that field with even some televisions utilizing that technology.

Although it has been around for a long time, DLP projectors continue to improve in their chipsets and are being put to good use by the different manufacturers.

Many of the best DLP projectors out there display in full HD 1080p resolution and some of those projectors are becoming more affordable to ordinary consumers which explain why they are becoming more popular than ever. With 2010 in action, here are some of the popular DLP projectors of 2009.

The Optoma HD20 DLP projector puts full high definition in the forefront operating in the full native 1920 x 1080 resolution for pictures to look their brightest and sharpest.

What made this one of the more popular 1080p DLP home theater projectors is broad compatibility over most of the computer formats including VESA, VGA resized, SVGA, and formats above.
