projectiondesign avielo optix SuperWide 235 Projector

[admin]

Making its worldwide debut at CEDIA Expo 2010, the avielo optix SuperWide 235 utilizes a new high-resolution DLP chip, developed by projectiondesign engineers in partnership with Texas Instruments (TI), that allows an image of 2538 x 1080 resolution to be displayed in the home for the first time without the use of additional optics. Until now, in home theater applications, the only way to truly watch a picture in 2.35:1 full format was to add additional bulky lenses to the front of the projector and then scale the picture to fit the screen.

Can anyone say $20,000?

I really think this is a bit long overdue with the incredible hype that the marketing machine has had for 2.35 CIH setups. It's not any suprise to me that we are finally seeing a product come to market, but we are a ways off from when we will be seeing Optoma and InFocus use these chips I expect, and we still need Epson to come out with some LCD equivalents.

Nice step in the right direction!

$20K? No way! I'll guess it's higher. Projection design is really nice gear, but I wouldn't think of them as trend-setters on the pricing/value scale.

I'll guess its > $40K
