    Just for fun - let's all just buy the JVC projectors and enjoy the quality from the OEM instead of these knockoffs okay?

    At least we haven't seen a Runco branded version. They probably will go to Dell instead so they maintain their proper quality reputation.

    You mean you wouldn't pay extra $$$ for it to say "Anthem" on it ?

    All joking aside, it seems to me (unless I am mistaken, which I usually am ) that the LTX 500 is the JVC DLA-HD750, which actually has a higher MSRP at $8000 than the Anthem at $7500. If this is true it surprises the hell out of me .



    I think Runco was actually planning on going for a rebrand of this with an MSRP of $14995 :

    I'll take the JVC any day, not a fan of that red stripe either. JVC projectors are second to none for the price you pay.

    I believe the JVC projectors are going to have a lower MSRP than what they've announced previously. So it could be $7500 or less by the time it comes out.

    I thought that I read somewhere that Anthem was going to be creating a high-end HTiB, with a JVC projector (or maybe an Anthem projector), and one of their pre-amps. I guess it makes sense in this case to just go ahead and rebadge it. But that red stripping ... why couldn't they keep it simple like Pioneer did?
