ProjectionDesign's WUXGA F30 DLP projector now shipping -- a world's first

Oh she's a chubster all right. But that's ProjectionDesign's F30, the world's first DLP projector capable of throwing a business-minded, WUXGA (1,920 x 1,200) display. Perfect for native WUXGA laptop-based demonstrations, ProjectionDesign's flagship projector also sources 1080p content in addition to 4:3 formats as you'd expect. Inside this 4,300 lumen projector you'll find TI's DLP .95 chip and 2x 300W UHP lamps offering about 2,000 hours of life at full power (5,000 hours in eco mode). Inputs include DVI, HDMI 1.3a, VGA, and component to name a few. Price? You've gotta ask ProjectionDesign. In other words, too rich for you Mr. Middle Manager.

Yeah, she's a chubster, but she's my 1080p chubster and I love her anyways.

See, I've been wanting a business class 1080p projector so I can have it in a large mixed-use room (I don't want to create a separate theater room, I want one end of the basement to be theater and the other pool & pinball so it's a brightish setting I have in mind). I don't much mind that it's built like a tank, but I'm betting it will sound like one, too.

No, I wont calm down.

Actually... she's not new. She's just reaching full production. If you go to the Gates Planetarium in the Denver Museum of Nature and science... they use this for their projection system and it's about a year old. If you want a real piece of work, look at the Zeiss Adlip projectors, or Evans and Sutherlands laser projectors. Those both are capable of 4096x4096 at 60 hz.

I've worked with a lot of F30s and they've all worked great. They're definitely not the kind of thing you drop in your basement due to their price, but they're the top of the line product for business applications. I've never noticed any noise, but if you were in an extremely quiet room I'm sure you might be able to notice the fans if you were close.
