KENNESAW, GA, (March 11, 2005) - Digital Projection International (DPI), an Emmy Award-winning manufacturer of high-performance projection systems, announced an improved contrast ratio of its MERCURY HD home entertainment projector. The contrast ratio has been increased nearly fifty-percent, from 2800:1 to 4000:1.

Already highly regarded for its imaging quality and host of features relative to its price, DPI feels the contrast upgrade positions the MERCURY HD to deliver an absolute best-in-class viewing experience. While creating the highest-contrast home entertainment projectors available today, DPI was also able to retain the full ANSI lumen light output of 1,600 lumens, further positioning the MERCURY HD as the best choice for home cinema, home media and entertainment applications of varying screen sizes.

“There is no factor more important to having the ultimate cinema experience at home than picture quality,” said George Walter, home cinema marketing manager, Digital Projection, Inc. “By improving the MERCURY HD's contrast, yet still providing enough brightness for screens up to 15-feet-wide, Digital Projection has set a new benchmark for home entertainment projectors of any class.”

DPI recently announced other upgrades to the MERCURY HD, in addition to the higher contrast, including an ultra-low noise level of less than 35db, which is achieved through a
novel approach to chassis cooling.

“We're working as hard today as we did at the genesis of our company in 1989, to advance
the capabilities of projection technology,” added Walter. “The recent improvements we've
made to our MERCURY HD are evidence of the commitment to innovation and world-class visual entertainment that defines our company and the Digital Projection brand.”
