Samsung's Joe Kane-designed SP-A900 due later this month
Been waiting for something to top the well-received Samsung SP-A800B? How about the next in the line, the SP-A900, ready to ship later this month but now improved with Texas Instruments' DarkChip 4 DLP chipset for an even higher contrast ratio (now up to 12,000:1), similarly higher price, 1080p res at an MSRP of $12,999. CNET lets it be known this should bring the Joe Kane approved design home via specialty retailers as is its custom, but we're sure fans of quality projectors know where it can be found.
Samsung's 1080p SP-A800B DLP projector now available
It took nearly a year to get here, but shortly after being reviewed, Samsung's upscale SP-A800B DLP projector is finally available in the USA. Co-developed with industry legend Joe Kane, this 1080p PJ features a native contrast ratio of 10,000:1, a 95% aperture ratio, 16-microsecond response time and a full 1,920 x 1,080 resolution. Additionally, it hums along quietly at 25dB and gets backed by a two-year warranty. Sammy's not bothering to tell you the price, but we've heard it'll list for just under ten grand.
Joe Kane-designed Samsung SP-A800B DLP projector gets reviewed
Look, there's no way you're expecting anything less than perfection from this projector, and sure enough, that's (almost) exactly what it delivers. The Joe Kane-designed Samsung SP-A800B has finally been reviewed by the lucky, lucky cats over at CNET, and simply put, it dethroned the Sony VPL-VW200 as its top-of-the-line Editors' Choice. In a nutshell, this bad boy "outperformed every projector in its class hands-down, and competed favorably with the three-chip DLP units that cost three times as much." For just shy of ten large, you too can own the rig that these folks deemed "spectacular." Really, we couldn't make this cornucopia of compliments up, so trek on down to the read link for more proof of the A800B's awesomeness.
Samsung's SP-A800B DLP projector gets some deets
Announced way back in August at IFA Germany, Samsung's SP-A800B 1080p DLP projector never seemed to get many details when it comes to the US market, and now we at least have a US price listed. A mere $6,995 gets you a 10,000:1 contrast ratio, 24p capability, and no mention of a release date.[Via About Projectors]
Samsung's SP-A800B 1080p DLP projector sure is curvy
Samsung knows a thing or two about working a trade show. IFA's no different. Meet the spacey SP-A800B 1080p (0.95-inch DMD chip from TI) DLP projector on the loose in Berlin. It features a 24fps film mode and a 2,000-hour, 300W lamp which throws 1,000 lumens at a 10,000:1 rated contrast at a relatively noisy 25dB. Around back you'll find 2x HDMI, RGB for your PC, 2x component, S-Video, and RS-232. Sorry, no prices or expected date for availability.%Gallery-6576%
