    SIM2 updates its line of high end projectors with its Grand Cinema HT3000 HOST system combining the latest 1080p DLP chipset from TI with a three-line optical-digital High-Definition Optical Signal transfer system (H.O.S.T.) in one gunmetal-finished box. The projector itself measures 17-inches square and 24 lbs, while the separate HOST system is designed for installers to connect video sources to its six HDMI inputs, three component inputs and multiple SD jacks up to 750 feet away from the projector with no loss of signal. Depending on lens choice, the price starts at $21, 595, but we're sure you have that kind of money just laying around.[Via About Projectors]

    It's been a tick since we've seen a swank new projector from SIM2, but on paper, it looks like the wait was worth it. The firm's new-generation version of the Grand Cinema C3X (dubbed C3X 1080) features a gorgeous Giorgio Revoldini-designed chassis, TI's brand new DarkChip 4 DLP device, a 10-bit video processor, HD scaling and deinterlacing capabilities, 1080p24 support, a 10,000:1 contrast ratio and color-management software that enables installers to "precisely match each projector to its home theater environment." Additionally, you'll find a pair of selectable HDCP-compliant HDMI jacks, component / S-Video / composite / VGA ports, RS-232 / USB control sockets, IR-sensor inputs, 12-volt trigger outputs and an optical digital audio socket. This 22-pounder, which ships in high-gloss gunmetal, black, red and gold, is likely to keep your eyes affixed for days on end, but only if you've got $31,995 to spare.
