You know how we all laugh at the huge size of old computers from the 70s and 80? That's what I predict when I look back at this projector someday.

For all those non-geeks out there who can't figure out in their head how many lumens a 47,964 cd/m2 projector is. The answer is 4,456 lumens. Sounds like a great way to watch some football in one corner, play some Gears of War in another, watch a HD-DVD and have a news channel, all at the same time. What a bargain!!!

Could you project the bat signal onto say, a cloud with this?

Geez, I didn't think it was that big from the initial picture. Or maybe that's just a really small guy...

Look! It's Frank's 2000" TV!

I concur with those who suggest you may have quoted the lamp power worng, though.

A pretty box, for sure, and not as expensive as I'd expected it would be. But as for torrenting the stuff on the drive, we've yet to see any *other* entertainment encryption that's remained unbroken...

I think they should add more Dalek-related functions to it.

It could wave a toilet plunger around and randomly scream out "Exterminate" while showing Bambi, for example.

What they failed to mention is that it only plays video from Blu-Ray, UMDs, memory sticks, or Beta tapes...

This monolith is the Sony CineAlta 4K SRX-R220. 4096 x 2160 resolution, a 17 meter image and 8,850.000 sweet, sweet pixels. At a hefty five feet tall it probably won't find a place in your living room, but then it isn't meant to.

Damn, time to start saving. I suppose not only for the projector but the new house that I will need to put the thing in and, I assume the flux capacitor that you will need to power it. What do you think this projector does for global warming...lol.
