High Definition LED Front Projector

[octobersky]

Prism, Inc. is planning on unveiling a secret research and development project at CES 2007. A source inside the company says the project is a high definition (1080p) front projector that uses light emitting diodes (LEDs). In contrast to the LED pocket projectors currently on the market (example), this device will produce hundreds of lumens at cinema quality resolution and contrast. The best part, however, is the use of LEDs as the lamp because the lifetime of the projector is years of continuous use, it produces brilliant and lifelike colors, and it's whisper quiet. Check out Prism's projector if you're a hardcore gamer, a movie buff, or someone who wants the biggest screen on the block.

Apparently to a vapor-ware address... lol. More rumors for 2008 CEDIA. I'll be all over this if anyone actually demos one.

The problem with LEDs is that they are not bright enough to project the kind of light needed for a projector.

Hmm seems they are coming along...

Ugh, first post, so I can't post links yet. Search Google for "PhlatLight". There's also a PC-World article titled "New DLP Home Theater Projectors Use LEDs" dated 6/18/2008. There's also an Audioholics news post "TI Intros Lamp-free LED DLP Projector" dated 6/23/2008.

There have been whisperings around the web that a DLP projector will be on display at CEDIA using a LED light engine. Some have suggested that Optima will be building the prototype. That's all that I've heard so far, but again...this is just rumor mongering.

I am waiting to upgrade until next year, I just bought a Planar 7130, I was lucky enough to get it off of WOOT for $599. That deal was just too hard to pass up. Maybe there will be a semi-affordable DLP LED projector by then.
