InFocus' 1080p DLP Play Big IN83 projector surfaces

Hey, you -- about to pull the trigger on a svelte new 1080p Play Big IN82? Hold your horses young buck, as it seems that the aforementioned unit's successor is just around the bend. Reportedly, the InFocus Play Big IN83 will house Texas Instrument's DarkChip 4 DLP chip and will feature a 1,920 x 1,080 resolution, 5,000:1 native contrast ratio, 10-bit video processing, an HDMI 1.3 input, automatic black level calibration, 1,600 lumens and a three-year warranty. Unfortunately, word on the street pegs this beauty at £3,500 ($6,948), so maybe that soon-to-be-discounted IN82 doesn't look like such a slouch after all.

Buzz me when I can get one of these babies for $1500 or less...till then, I'll stick with the plazmer...

If $1500 is your limit, then I'm sure your "plazmer" is 720p. And you can get a 720p projector pretty easily.

But when you're projecting to a 100"-200" screen I'd highly recommend saving up a little more cash for a 1080p proj

Daddy wants so bad.... if I sit about 4' from my 46" 1080 Blu Ray movies are mind blowing. But all that resolution is marginal from 12' away on the couch

Eye blowing too... give yourself a couple years, you'll be strapping the plasma to your face to get the same effect.

What's up Grandpa? Reminding us not to sit too close to the TV again, eh?

@ Chris

Notice he said "if I sit about 4' from my 46""
