damonrpayne Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 http://www.ultimateavmag.com/videoprojectors/1205sony/ Oh yes, definately on my wishlist. Demand for 1080p displays is going to explode next year when 1080p content starts to become available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCOOTERDOG Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 The great thing is in about 2-3 years these 10-20k machines will be down to where the will be affordable. Manufatures know that in order to make money they will have to bring the cost down to where those of use who have stepped into the projector market now will fork out 3-4k for the next round. I figure my 4805 will be with me for about 4-5 years before I upgrade. By that time the 1080p projectors will be able to be had at very reasonable prices. scooter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodsman Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 I'm with Scooter. Very nice unit you found there Damon. But at $10,000.00 I would have to wait for that to come down a bit. When you get this one setup in your house, let me know. I'll be over to see how football looks in hdtv. Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkot Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 i checked the street price and found it for $9500 the replacement bulb is $1000 and lasts for 2200 hrs at 1/2 brightness(cinama black pro) the bulb for my vpl-vw12ht is $400 and my first one lasted 2125 hrs w/ the cimama black pro on all the time i think that i too will wait for the price to come down, but it is tempting, as mrs tkot is warming up to a second system upstairs to replace our rear projection set in the family room. jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJkizak Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 I have checked the 1080P DLP's and projection setups at my local dealer and the difference between 720P and 1080P is almost as much as the difference between analog and High Definition. The DLP's are still much brighter and have more contrast than the projection setups, and that includes the $15,000.00 projectors. The DLP 1080P sets have twice the amount of pixels (1million upgraded to 2million) and an upgraded brightness almost twice as much. The 65" DLP's were really outstanding. The 1080P projection setup was 2.35 x 1 and was considerably dimmer and less contrast, ($15,000.00) but it was much better than the old projection setups. Anybody that owns 720P sets are going to be stunned when they see the new models. JJK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbajner Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 where does one think this 1080p content is coming from? currently no station broadcasts in this format at all you either have 702p or 1080i a 1080p set should look better since it should have a better resolution (1920 x 1080) also most of the 1080p sets can only accept this type of input via a VGA connection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJkizak Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 I f I recall correctly all the DLP's were tuned into local stations (cable? satelite?) and the projection setup was showing a DVD movie upconverted. But not totally sure what was being shown. The DLP's were as clear or better than my Sony 34" HDTV tube type. JJK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
