1080p Front Projectors


As a former front projector owner, this is the area where my highest interest is....the upcoming 1080p projector market. Rumors have been going strong about 1080p units from Panasonic, Optoma, & Mitsubishi. InFocus will probably have one as well.

Any tidbits you can throw us in this more affordable market would be GREAT. The Sony "Pearl" also looks very promising....

Thanks and have a great time.

I know for a fact that Runco will be showing 1080p on many of their projector lines including their affordable line.

I am sure the Marantz 1080p projector will be in many venues. It will definitely be in the Datacolor Training - Lion AV classroom!!!

I know there will be multiple 1 and three chip 1080P projectors. THe DLP 1080Ps will be full resolution (no wobbulation).

The HD DVD presentation truck is equipped with Marantz's new 1080p projector.

See you at CEDIA.

Re: 1080p Front Projectors


Tim (and others),

SONY blew the socks off of the 1080p FP world this afternoon at their press conference during CEDIA 2006. They formally announced their new VPL-VW50 "Pearl" unit. We will shortly provide some great detail and are working on some exclusive video thanks to Ron and Parker so watch the announcements section of the forum.

Let me just say:

1080p resolution
2 1080p HDMI inputs with 24fps support!
3 chip SXRD (LCoS) technology

and (hold onto your hats!)

$4995

Much more to follow.

We have some pics that will be up as soon as Parker can put them in the correct directory (10 hours or so). We won't actually see it in action until tomorrow (Thurs) or Friday.

Re: 1080p Front Projectors


The VPL-VW50 is officially on the SonyStyle site HERE.

Shipping in October.

Film at Eleven (last night)


Seriously, as Adam said we hope to have some more pictures posted later today. We'll also be examining the projector up close and personal on the floor of the show and may have some more video and pictorial surprises as well as some more comments.

Stay tuned...

Rumor has it JVC also has a 1080P three chip at the same price point.

Re: 1080p Front Projectors


Is the unit really as big as it looks? If so that thing definitely won't fit on a shelf. But damn is that price tempting!
