Well hey , maybe it ’s time to pop paying attention to olde tyme projektor machine again : Vivitek ’s upcoming H1080FD will skewer a full 1080p image at whatever sizing you want , for just a thousand clam .
The H1080FD burns at 1800 lm of brightness with a 5000:1 direct contrast ratio , with HDMI , composite , s - video and component ports . The check is stock TI stock — the S450 — and the intact package is unconvincing to get videophiles too sweaty . But that ’s not the point — the point is that for just a $ 1000 , you’re able to get a 1080p , semi - portable projector that ’ll throw an image — put on it ’s not terrible — that ’s tantamount to a truly immense boob tube , without look like pixelated garbage . At $ 2,000 just less than a year ago , the 1080p prospect was exciting ; at $ 1000 , it ’s antic .
The companionship ’s a scrap of an obscure measure to us , but the h1080FD ’s ultra - high - end top brother , the H9080FD , soundspretty expectant . I ’d wait on the reviews for this one — it ships in August — but if it can deliver comme il faut range quality , it might be metre to rethink your staunch loyalty to flatscreens . [ Vivitek ]
