With over 96% coverage of the Rec. 709 color gamut with precise Delta E<3 performance, the W1700 faithfully reproduces exactly what filmmakers intended.
The W1700’s astounding audiovisual performance is further enhanced by proprietary CinemaMaster Video+ and CinemaMaster Audio+ technology. Even modest spaces are turned into world-class cinema auditoriums with the motion-adaptive edge pixel enhancement, sophisticated color algorithms, and beautiful skin tone rendition, as well as dramatic audio processing for resonant bass and soaring high notes.
