Marantz has released a new version of its VP-11S1H 1080p DLP projector, one which adds some HDMI 1.3 goodness with 12-bit Deep Color -- and the best part is that the price point is even the same as the older model. At this point, all the people who bought the previous 1,890,000 Yen ($15,700 US) device should be weeping at the thought of having their high-end projector become last year's has-been, but Marantz has done the right thing and offered an upgrade! For 5% of the purchase price (105,000 Yen or $872 US) you can send the projector back for minor surgery to upgrade the HDMI to version 1.3. Check with your local dealer or contact Marantz for more deets on where to send the check and the projector, and then let us know where to send the flowers and get-well cards.
is it just me or is that the fugliest projector out there? Looks like it would go nicely with some vanilla 1989 pc.
My thoughts exactly. I imagine the on-screen configuration screen using a command line interface, with whatever ancient display port 89 PCs had.
OMG 15,700?!?!?!??!?! never
jeez christ, what a moth%!#@%$ ugly design!
thats right guys...........only comments on its looks not it's performance! Posers!
OK let me go sell my house and Ill get back to you Marantz
my compliments to the designer. Faux silver, white and grey with convex, protruding legs. Fine, fine choices. A design flair inspired by Fischer-Price. I commend you, sir/ sirette.
(and hope you still have your job).
Gotta have HDMI 1.3. I want my home Digital Rights Restricted properly.
