What will make the PD7060 DarkChip3 DLP projector like more of Planar’s future consumer electronics equipment is the company’s aggressive pricing along with quality products. The design of the projector s you will notice is of a black glossy colour with a silver trim with has a rounded shape to it.

At the heart of the PD7060 is Texas Instruments’ DarkChip3 (DC3) DLP chipset, this is somewhat of a surprise as you would expect to pay much more money than the £1,750 price tag for this kind of technology. Using this chipset helps to improve the contrast and allows for better motion as well.
