Arrow Vivitek H6080FD LED DLP Projector

Vivitek Corporation demonstrated what we understand to be the industry’s first 1080p, LED projector. The H6080FD was extremely quiet (there was no UHP-based lamp to cool down) and provided a small picture size due to the fact that Vivitek hd the projector in a limited space where it was demoing the picture. The new H6080FD DLP projector puts out 800-lumens and Vivitek touts the contrast ratio as being around 100,000:1. With full HD (1920x1080) resolution and wide-screen capabilities, Vivitek’s new projector is compelling and it will be very interesting to see how it does in a competitive market.

That is honestly ridiculous pricing! This seems like artificial price gouging.

I'm hoping that it's just because it's new technology.

True dat... even the lack of lamp replacement costs doesn't make up for the current premium.

Of course compared to some CIH setups as well as stuff from Runco, Vidikron and Sony, this doesn't seem so bad.
