We're not quite sure what the folks at Projectiondesign consider to be a "harsh environment," but it seems a pretty safe bet that their new F32 projector should at least be able to hold up in even the dustiest conference rooms, and deliver a full 1080p image to boot. If that's a bit more than you need, the company has also just rolled out similar SXGA+ or WUXGA models, which boast 4100 or 3800 ANSI lumens, a 7,500:1 contrast ratio, and the usual full complement of ports, including dual HDMI inputs. Just don't plan on lugging any of 'em around too far, as they each weigh in at close to 30 pounds. Pricing, as you may have guessed, appears to be on a need to know basis, though all three are apparently shipping now.

That lens looks rather exposed....
The other day when i was at school, i had one of these in my bag because i was going to a friends house after class to watch Transformers in full 1080 glory. But as usual i got hussled for my lunch money the bigger kids pushed me around and i fell over a few times etc. I think someone even called me a 'nancy'.
Anyway, the projector was fine.
What a great film!
punch him in the face a few times, even if you get your ass kicked he wont bother you again. even if your parents or the principle says otherwise, show no mercy.
Do what I would do.
Tie a rope to the projector and smack the fuckers right across the face!
They better watch out.
VESA Mount compatible rope coming out in Q209.
I feel old.
Harsh environments - smokey night clubs?
"projector should at least be able to hold up in even the dustiest conference rooms"
I don't think I wanna work in that office building, much less be the one that has to maintain the building.
Classrooms?
Hmm... I would buy the higher resolution WUXGA because the 1080p is "a bit more than you need"
WUXGA (16:10) = 1920 x 1200
1080p (16:9) = 1920 x 1080
WSXGA+ (16:10) = 1680 x 1050
I need one to take camping with me, Project onto the side of my white trailer. I am pretty sure the dust encountered at the desert would ruin any projector. prob just better off buying a cheep one and hope it lasts.
Huh, I'm thinking of getting a projector for the same reason. odd.
"dustiest of conference rooms"---yeah.
Ah, so you wern't the guy camping at Glamis last weekend projecting hard core porn onto the side of his motorhome?
Probally just has a "sealed" light path to midigate airborne particles gumming up the works , so to say. Tell you what thought, these seem to put out a lot of light. I wonder what kind of cooling these need ehile still being able to keep out dust and such.

Hhaha, I wouldn't want to be an attendant wherever the heck they are showing their crap... maybe their harshness is literary lol
