Sanyo Shows Off their PLC-XF47, the New World's Brightest Projector

sanyo-pro-projector-1.jpgThis projector is for the videophile who lives in a glass house near the equator and is to cheep to buy blackout shades. The Sanyo PLC-XF47 (Who comes up with these names?) is boasting a ridiculously high 15,000 lumen's. We can barley fathom how bright that must be, although what were they thinking keeping it at 1024x768? If we're going to spend 30-grand on a projector it better at least be 1920x1080. Although they did add wireless HD streaming. Look for it in October if you've got 30-grand lying around, or a bunch of credit cards taunting you.

World's brightest projector? Not by a long shot. Christie makes a 30,000 lumen DLP projector for both the rental/staging market and theatres. 15,000 lumens, however, is plenty bright. That's enough to project a good looking (though slightly washed out) image on a 15x27 foot screen without closing the curtains in whatever very large space you happen to have available to you.
