Sanyo's new LCD projectors: up to $140,200 (http://hdtv.engadget.com/2006/05/25/sanyos-new-lcd-projectors-up-to-140-200/)
It's time to get your big, bad Japanese projector on today. Say konichiwa to Sanyo's LP-HD2000, LP-XF46, LP-WP80, and LP-XP57 (clockwise from left). At the top of the line, the HD2000 projects at a 2048 x 1080 resolution with a 300W, 7,000 lumen lamp at 1,000:1 contrast ratio; the other three are XGA projectors casting between 3,000 and 12,000 lumens with 1,000 to 1,300:1 contrast ratios. In other words, these are some pretty industrial strength projectors, with ¥15,700,000, ¥5,250,000, ¥1,260,000, and ¥1,155,000 (about $140,200, $46,900, $11,250, and $10,300 US) price tags, respectively, so we have a feeling for that next home theater rig you'll probably be looking elsewhere for your projection system.
