The bulbs better be VERY cheap to make up for that.

But, at the price, nothing spectacular could be expected.]]>Nov 12th 2008 9:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/11/olens-technology-adds-another-projector-to-endless-stream-of-pro/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/11/olens-technology-adds-another-projector-to-endless-stream-of-pro/Nov 11th 2008 7:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/11/olens-technology-adds-another-projector-to-endless-stream-of-pro/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/11/olens-technology-adds-another-projector-to-endless-stream-of-pro/Nov 11th 2008 8:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/11/olens-technology-adds-another-projector-to-endless-stream-of-pro/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/11/olens-technology-adds-another-projector-to-endless-stream-of-pro/Nov 11th 2008 8:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/11/olens-technology-adds-another-projector-to-endless-stream-of-pro/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/11/olens-technology-adds-another-projector-to-endless-stream-of-pro/
What's missing? Two things.

1) Projectors over 3200 lumens at decent costs
2) HD projectors over 2000 lumens at decent costs

In both cases, it's like an invisible threshold. As soon as you cross it, the prices skyrocket. Need a 4000 lumen projector? Expect to pay two or three TIMES more than a 3200 lumen projector. What an HD projector at 3000 lumen? Expect to pay 4-5x more than a 2000 lumen HD projector.

Right now we're making due primarily with 2200 lumen and 3200 lumen projectors. This is meeting our requirements in many cases (especially as we transition from 2200L to 3200L where possible), but there are a few cases where we would really like brighter projectors. Our 180" screens are using the 3200L units, and brighter projectors would be useful. We're trying out a 200" screen next year, and putting a 3200L unit on that is a bit of a stretch, but it's all we've got.

As for HD, right now, it's just not an option; they just aren't bright enough at decent prices. We're making due with our existing projectors, which are XGA (1024x768), so we get "almost" HD (576p)...]]>Nov 11th 2008 12:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/11/olens-technology-adds-another-projector-to-endless-stream-of-pro/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/11/olens-technology-adds-another-projector-to-endless-stream-of-pro/Nov 11th 2008 4:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/11/olens-technology-adds-another-projector-to-endless-stream-of-pro/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/11/olens-technology-adds-another-projector-to-endless-stream-of-pro/I 'ardly know 'er!]]>Nov 11th 2008 4:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/11/olens-technology-adds-another-projector-to-endless-stream-of-pro/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/11/olens-technology-adds-another-projector-to-endless-stream-of-pro/Nov 12th 2008 6:55PM
