    OK, I will ask; At what point does "big" become TOO big or big enough?

    @Curves: Well, the fact that people pay money to watch movies in theaters implies that we would all have 20' screens if it was possible. The limiting factor is therefore the size of the rooms in which TVs are placed. The size at which TVs are "too big" is the size at which they cannot be comfortably placed into a normal person's living room.

    I always read these types of press releases thinking "Hmm, that would look good in my living room, I wonder how much it costs" and typically it ends with me feeling inadequate, but this time you didn't post prices... so I had to search. Which made me feel like a really inadequate time waster.

    the thing i hate most about my Panasonic is the remote. the volume and channel button are switched and the IR sensor has a reception angle of 10 degrees. other than that it gets the job done jusss fine.

    @Mauricio Vivas: You know, the best and least annoying way to test your facebook commenting ability is to simply say what you really wanted to say about the article, or in response to what someone else was saying and see if it succeeds.


    However, since other Facebookers have obviously been able to comment on the site, this is a rather moot point. Wouldn't you agree?

    The idea that self-tapering lights is gonna somehow decrease irritation in an oncoming driver will be far outweighed by the oncoming driver's increase in irritation that he's not the one driving the Audi.

    @RobLikesbrunch: Aluminum by the pound is not that expensive either. Glass, plastic and rubber are also relatively cheap. However, when you put them together to make a $100,000 car, they are very expensive.


    Same with LEDs. They might not be that expensive, but they are expensive to integrate into your luxury vehicle.

    Anyone who is dumb enough to drop $300 on a piece of 1st generation hardware like this, either has too much money, or too little sense.


    These things look awful in real life. (Can you notice how the photographer has had to play around with the available light to make the picture look half-decent?)


    Battery-schmattery! In a fully darkened room, you need at least 300 ANSI lumens for the picture to look any good. In a semi-lit room, at least 1000 ANSI lumens. In a fully-lit room, you need at least 2000 ANSI just to overcome the ambient light. How bright is this thing? It probably has an ANSI equivalent of 150 lumens...or less.


    You'd be better off putting the $300 toward one of the many ultra-portables that you can buy for under $700.

    Damn you, dcjeepguy2001, with your "sense talkin" and your "facts"... way to ruin the party.


    Good thing we have YOU to remind us that early adopters of first-gen tech are ignorant and wasteful scum! Some of them may have gone ahead and bought this thing and enjoyed it, despite its shortcomings! The joke would have been on them, however, as the industry, spurred by their first-wave success continued to develop better products with more features! Bwahaha!


    Again, we thank you dcjeepguy2001... if only you'd been around to talk us down from our precarious position when the first-gen "portable computer" was introduced!

    No video input is a dealbreaker as it's the only way to display any content you wish without having to go through some file conversion and transfer voodoo.


    What's the battery life like? How long can it be used before recharging?


    What about projector lamp life? Does it still matter with these new projectors or is it a thing of the past?


    Does it get very hot?

    @nachomaans: It does have composite video input, just not VGA/component input.


    It doesn't get very hot, and can run for two hours without any issues. You can hold it in your hand with zero burning. They manual recommends you power it down after two hours though for best picture results.


    Battery life is probably about that, though the manual doesn't say and the battery lasted throughout my testing.


    And yeah, LEDs last a long time.
