Hey kids! Mr. T here, tellin’ you that watching too much TV is bad for you. But if you’re stuck inside, maybe you’re sick with a cold or something, then this new TV by Dolby and SIM2 Multimedia might be good. It’s got some cool local-dimming LED technology —1,838 of the suckas— that dynamically adjust backlighting for the best picture. They say it’s got infinite contrast ratio: no shit! Guess that’s the High Dynamic Range part. Has 1920 x 1080 pixels, 46-inch screen and is designed by an Italian-sounding guy. Giorgio Revoldini. Say What? You want to buy it? It’s a protoype, sucka.

Sim2, maker of high-end fancy pants projectors, will be one of the first manufacturers to release a model using the new DLP DarkChip 4 from Texas Instruments. And get this—three of those chips will be shining inside Sim2′s Grand Cinema C3X 1080 projector, set to ship in November. Besides bringing you what the company calls “benchmark quality” 1080p video in all its glory, the thing looks pretty damn swank, too, reminding us of a fine Italian sports car. No surprise, since Sim2 is an Italian company with sophisticated Neapolitan designers. The projector’s other specs are not exactly shirking their duties, either.
Here’s the new HT3000E 1080p DLP projector from home cinema gourmet house SIM2. Beyond looking great in Darth Vader’s private screening room, the HT3000E comes with a technology called Unishape, which modulates the light intensity according to the image content “with millisecond precision, similar to a waveform generator.” Jump to see what this means for image quality, its price and one image of its back.
