Hitachi introduces trio of ultra-bright projectors

Hitachi's latest trifecta wasn't designed for your surely swank abode per se, but we suppose those with enough cash and willpower can do anything they darn well please. That said, the CP-X10000 (1,024 x 768), CP-WX11000 (1,280 x 800) and CP-SX12000 (1,400 x 1,050) can all handle professional (read: lit) settings with ease, featuring 7,500 / 6,500 / 7,000 lumens, respectively. The whole lot also boasts a 2,500:1 contrast ratio, 10-bit signal processor, HDMI / BNC connectors, Ethernet, an RS-232 control port and a lamp good for 10,000 maintenance-free hours. Mum's the word on price, but don't worry, these are going on the corporate card anyway.

The lamp is 2,000 hours NOT 10,000 that is the air filter

Apple would have done this so much better.

So why didn't they?

[(Unverified) Posted Nov 25th 2008 7:38PM]

Because projectors aren't expensive enough?

@Uchiha

wow, you're not kidding about that link being "not related".

I mean I guess I should be glad you actually had substance instead of just saying "first" but seriously at least try to stay on topic. To me, that's borderline spam, especially for news a few days old already.

@ Mitch

Good catch.

I like the idea of being able to swap out lenses.

Lame though that the release dates are currently only for Europe...
