yes that is a good price for what you get... however, without hdmi is seems pretty much worthless imho. if you're buying an hd projector in this day, you're most likely going to want to watch some HD cable and some HD DVDs.
Unless you go for HDMI 1.3 (which not many are), DVI is just as fine for a projector since you will not be routing your audio to it; go out and buy an adapter.
For 5k, you can get the new Sony Pearl projector.
This projector could easily give you a great picture at 100 inches.
A 100 inch Plasma is going to run you about $65,000.
How about them apples?
Also, this one won't weigh 200 lbs. either, even with screen.
And you can take this one outside and project a great
picture on the side of a good size barn. Do that with a plasma, buddy.
As for HDMI, you can buy an adapter for HDMI to DVI for $50.
So if you have a Mac or PC with DVI out and an optical audio out,
you've got your HDMI connection covered. The thing that's
interesting to me is, when all of us were promoting firewire
because it was everything on one cable, nobody would listen.
Now, HDMI is promoted as the holy grail and it really isn't.
It's an SDI-HD connection, but only 2 channels of audio,
not up to 12 like SDI-HD. And it "features" DRM.
Oh, goody.

The styling looks oddly like an Intellivision.
Looks just like an 80's cablebox.
What's the point of 10-bit processing, when DVI is limited to 8-bit? Bring on the HDMI.
Design Department? We dont need no steenkin' Design Department...
I am using this projector for 4 months. It is a great machine and Cinetron had already change DVI to HDMI connector. The price is a bit high but the building quality and picture quality is worth every penny! Watch the demo yourself to make a judge!
