Japanese Apple Stores to Sell Optoma Picoprojector in December For $US500

7:54PM November 11, 2008 | Kit Eaton

Way back in June Optoma promised to release its picoprojector this year, and now there’s news that indeed it will. Still reportedly the world’s smallest and lightest, it’ll go on sale December 1st in Japan at the Apple store, of all places. In case you’ve forgotten the DLP device is just 1.7 x 5 x 10.4 cm and can produce an image up to 60-inches at a modest 480 x 320 resolution and 1000:1 contrast for 2 hours from its battery. Its expected price in Japan is around $US500, though there’s no news yet on when it’ll be coming to these shores or what it’ll cost. [AVWatch]

Optoma’s pico will use the DLP chipset, support composite video quality and run on Li-ion batteries. The projector will make it to market later this year in Europe and Asia, before coming stateside in 2009. No word on pricing. [Optoma]

1:17PM November 30, 2007 | Sean Fallon

Optoma’s got a new 1080p projector coming out in December, dubbed the HD803. It’s new but its sits right below Optoma’s HD80, one of the first to break the $US3000/1080p barrier, in price and performance. The crib sheet on the HD803 reads as follows: 8000:1 contrast ratio, 1200 lumens of output, and a DLP DMD chipset from TI. The projector’s also armed with dual HDMI inputs, on top of the usual suspects. The price? $US2599, which isn’t bad for a 1080p DLP projector, even if we’ve seen brighter ones. Optoma also unveiled two 720p projectors. More »
