Sure, those flashy
new KURO plasmas or that new
array of receivers may have taken you by surprise, but don't pretend you didn't know
this one was coming. Known simply as the PRO-FPJ1, this 1080p beamer incorporates LCoS technology, dual HDMI 1.3 ports, wide lens shift capacity, a trio of viewing modes (standard, dynamic and movie) and a real semblance to
JVC's DLA-HD100. According to the firm, it's designed for "high-end cinematic installations and supports advanced calibration," and of course, you can't escape a KURO release without a little bragging about black levels. We're still waiting on a finalized specifications list, but 'til then, you can chew on that $9,000 price tag and wait for these to hit dealers next month.

"KURO", what language is that from? I'm trying to figure out if it really mean ridiculously expensive or if that was just my own translation.
Unless it means anything in Japanese, here is the closest I can come up with: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kouroi

Something tells me it doesn't have much to do with statues of naked ancient greek youth......
According to Pioneer Kuro means black.
I found this link that it does indeed mean black.

kuro means black in Japanese
If I chew on it all month, do you think the price will get any smaller? Or is that $9000 price tag completely indigestible?
sounds like this one has a cms built into it
hmm... projector or BMW motorcycle? decisions, decisions.
