We've already seen Samsung's SP-A400B DLP projector floating around the more Germanic parts of Europe. Thing is, we forgot to tell
you. So here it is, the pretty half-sister to the curvaceous
SP-A800B 1080p DLP. Samsung's trying to convince us that it belongs in either the boardroom or home theater. Know what? We agree. While its noisy 28dB to 32dB rating makes us want to get real close in order to muffle the drone of the average corporate presenter, its 2,000 lumens, 1280 X 768 pixel resolution, and HDMI, component, composite, VGA, and S-Video inputs (not to mention alien ship design) makes us want to take it home and rub up against it. You can too, right now in Europe for a tax-inclusive price of €1,299 ($1,911) -- S.Korea later this month.

You'll decrease the lamp life--rubbing up on it.
Not if you're smart. You rub the lamp, and when the genie pops out you wish for an ever lasting bulb. Simple!
a 200 lumen genie!
Finally the prices are coming down!
That much....and it aint even 1080p? pfft....whatever.
exactly nxp, not sure what the excitement is for another 720p dlp, and an overpriced one at that. Now, if this is the usual engadget writeup (you know we love you guys) and it really is a 1080p chip pj, not the 1280x768 chip, than this is real news. Maybe TR can go back and check.
Who cares? It isn't available in the US and it isn't 1080p.
In other news, Dell debuts their new line of 640 x 480 projectors, now with S-Video! Ooh, ahh...
So here it is, the pretty half-sister to the curvaceous SP-A800B 1080p DLP.
1080p: check
Available: check
Internet Whiners: check
Waterboarding: beginning...
Eerily reminiscent of Eero Saarinan's sadly shuttered TWA Terminal 5 at JFK.
