There's genuine excitement at the prospect of a projector for people who are new to Sim2's products, but we're also concerned about how much of the brand's traditional quality has been sacrificed to hit the low price. The D10's dull, matt black looks only serve to heighten our concerns, since they lack almost all semblance of the high gloss chic that marks out every other Sim2 model. Nothing wrong with that except that it's now been superseded by Dark Chip3 found on the lower priced InFocus IN78 , which offers better response times and contrast performance.
Thankfully, the lightbox is armed with a full application of Texas Instruments' BrilliantColor system. Designed to produce richer and more authentic colour tones from DLP technology, BrilliantColor can sometimes be found in a software-only form containing just the processing side of things. But the full version that's installed also employs a colour wheel with extra yellow, cyan and magenta sections alongside the customary red, green and blue.
But the vast majority of its direct competition does pretty much the same thing. One fly in the D10's specification ointment is its unimpressive claimed contrast ratio of 2, We'd certainly expect to see a higher figure here if Sim2 had gone for a Dark Chip 3 array; for instance, the InFocus IN78 comes in at 3, But we're not so worried about comparisons with the sky-high figures quoted by some rival LCD brands, as these only achieve their figures by reducing brightness output during dark scenes, which the D10 does not need to do.
