"The folks at Telematics Canada under-promised and over-delivered," says Mark Lehman, President of EDCOM Multimedia in Kitchener, Ontario.
"The DILAD Screen is just outstanding."EDCOM Multimedia (www.edcom.ca) installed their first DILAD Rear Projection Screen in a major casino in Southern Ontario this month.Management asked Joanne Ellis to turn a tinted glass window separating a smoker's lounge from the rest of the casino into a giant video screen.
Joanne has specialized in multimedia solutions for gaming floors throughout Ontario and Eastern Canada through EDCOM since 1999.
Her challenge was to provide the casino's customers with a cinema-quality experience that could be seen from both sides of the glass without breaking the bank ? something a typical plasma screen could not do.The solution for their client was the DILAD GS Screen.
Although more than a metre high and two metres wide, the DILAD weighs only 200 grams and is just 75 microns thick.
"That's about the thickness of a sheet of paper," says Alicia Mottus, president of Telematics Canada (www.telematics.ca)."When we completed the installation, the staff and their guests crowded around the DILAD.
Everyone wanted to touch it and see how it worked." says Lehman.
"This system looks like it cost many times more than it did."The DILAD Rear Projection Screen is available in any size or shape and is applied directly to glass or certain acrylics.
Just install a consumer-level digital projector connected to a video source such as a DVD or PC, and the system is ready to go.In July, Telematics Canada launched their new www.dilad.ca website to showcase the DILAD line including the new DILAD Screens, the portable Roll Up and Stand, and the DILAD Panel."We're looking forward to many more of these installations," says Mottus.
"We are now at a price point where this exciting technology combined with new low-cost projectors will allow businesses to switch to digital signage and consumers to install amazing custom home theatres."About Telematics Canada Founded in 2000, TCI is a privately held company based in Vancouver, British Columbia.For more information: www.dilad.ca Contact: Alicia MottusPhone: 604.331.8795Email: e-mail protected from spam botsTelematics Canada Inc.Alicia Mottus1 (604) 331-8795.

Selecting the Perfect Big Screen TV
Selecting a TV isn't as easy as it used to be in years goneby. Rather than going to the local department store and choosing a console that would take up a large portion of the living room, we now have other options. Along with those options comes the chore of locating, comparing and narrowing down a multitude of models to just the right one for your viewing needs.First, of course, you'll need to consider the size of the room which will house the unit. Since Big Screen TVs offera much larger viewing scenario, the room needs to be able to accommodate whichever model you choose. For instance, you might like the idea of a 60" screen, but you might onlyhave enough space to accommodate one that measures 42".
Don't make the mistake of purchasing one and then discovering that, as much as you thought you might be able to squeeze it into the room, it just won't work.Display type is another consideration when bringing such a system into your home. You'll need to choose a glass tube or flat...

HDTV Reviews
HDTV stands for high definition television.
It contains images that have significantly higher details than normal televisions. Pixels in an HDTV product are usually square, smaller and are placed closer together, which results in higher visual detail.
There are a few varieties of HDTVs available, like HD flatpanel TVs, HD traditional projection TVs, and HD advanced microdisplays. HD traditional projection TVs offer larger screen sizes and lower prices, but they take up more space and are quite bulky. In addition, they have a thinner viewing angle than other forms of HDTV.
The HD flat panel TV is thin and light, and can hang on a wall. Although the majority of HDTVs are HD ready and provide the widest viewing angle and the highest contrast, these are available at a higher cost. The HD advanced microdisplays offer a lightweight design and advanced technology without the expense of a flat panel HDTV. They are HD ready and provide a big viewing angle, quality...
