Sony’s many-charactered projector has some serious eyeball muscle: 2000 lumens of brightness, the aforementioned insanely high output, and a lens capable of beaming out a 200-inch image. This sounds great! Except it costs “under” $US25,000, which probably means very, very close to $US25,000. If you’re a person with $US25,000 to spend on a projector, your retinas will be tickled. Well, at least they will be when you can find 4K video to play. Which might be a bit of a wait. At least the thing is gorgeous to look at in the meantime. [Sony]

Mid range projectors give awesome bang-for-buck – $1200-2000 will fill a screen in even a large lounge with the best bluray experience you have ever had (bladerunner,2001,the matrix or inception OMFG), blowing the stuffing out of comparable flat panels of the same price. I highly recomend a smaller affordable panel display for casual viewing combined with a screen and an afforable projector for “movie time”. Love my projector. :-)
