Sanyo Prototype Projector Is Bigger Than You
Just as netbook-like computing power was only possible by linking vacuum tubes and power cables in a warehouse, this is likely the first of many sure-to-be-smaller versions of Sanyo's short-range 1080p beamer. The unnamed device, which measures an incredible 93" x 20" x 25", has the ability to project a 1920 x 1080 image (Full HD) at 100 inches while being just two feet from the wall ahead. Two feet! If that's just not large enough, a 150" image can be accomplished with just one more foot of space.
The unit utilizes Sanyo's ultra-short focus projection technology. which reportedly "combines projector lenses and concave mirrors and projects light from the upper surface of the device." The brightness level is a staggering 7000 lumens, which means it can project a visible image even in dimly lit rooms. Furthermore, the DLP-based PJ boasts a color reproduction range that is nearly double that of typical LCD TVs; specifically, the color gamut is 170% of the NTSC standard. The craziest part? Sanyo actually hopes to commercialize this thing in 2012.

Hey thats pretty awesome. I think it is a much better solution than hanging one from the ceiling. |
|
Imagine the price on that monster. |
|
Hanging from ceiling... monster... coffin-like box... Good lord, it's powered by vampires. |

The projector is also bigger than you (or at least the pictured lady). I suppose it could double as a table, and that eventually they'll have this in a much smaller version. That is pretty damn impressive. I just got my 24" HD LCD monitor today, and this has only slightly diminished my excitement. That thing has a hell of a nice picture for beiing that big. Oh, what our future will be like. |

That thing is pretty friggin large! I'm wondering if you can put things on it... like A/V Components... center channel speaker, etc. without blocking the image? Cuz that would add to the sweetness. *edit* The picture quality is pretty good too. It doesn't look washed out like most projectors. It would be a pain getting that thing perfectly parrallel with the wall and level, etc. to get the picture right lol Hopefully it does all of that automatically by itself. |

Very cool/ innovative design... The quality of the picture looks very good as well |
|
pretty neat idea especially for those with limited ceiling heights. Not to mention you would place it in unused space in a theater room anyway. It kinda is an eye sore though |
|
just wonderring how noisy this things will be imagin how many fans inside????? |
|
Yeah probably somewhat loud but the thing is how would you get it to stay on your ceiling? Duck tape anyone? :D |
