How about a 61" DLP that is less then 7" thick and can be hung on the wall?
This is the mighty powerful, but ultra-thin 61" HD2+ DarkChip2 DLP RPTV ScreenPlay 61md10 from InFocus.
It has a beautiful extra fine-pitched high gain multi-layered screen, which allows a full 160-degree off-axis viewing.
In combination with the DC2 chip from TI, the high gain screen, and light sealed cabinet, this RPTV boasts a maximum on/off contrast level of 3500:1 and significantly better black level than an equivalent front projector.
It not only has two component inputs and one HDMI input, but it also has a FireWire input, DCR & Cable Card slot, and two integrated HD tuners (digital & OTA).
It has a built-in CPU that runs Windows CE 4.1 and IE 6.0 with a RJ45 broadband connector and a wireless keyboard for internet browsing.
It first became available in late October for $9,000. Since then, InFocus has been steadily dropping the price to its current level of $5,000 with a few select retailers offering it for about $4,000.
Amazingly though, the folks at woot were able to secure a deal with InFocus for 450 units which they sold yesterday on their site for only $3,000 a piece with only $5 for white-glove direct shipping from InFocus! As an added bonus, InFocus threw in a $500 mail-in rebate making the total cost $2,505!
I would not be the least bit surprised if we see the same deal run again before November rolls around so if it looks promising you may want to keep an eye out for the next sale.
