SONY SXRD 4K PROJECTOR WITH 8.8 MILLION PIXELS (4096 x 2160)

[HDTV1080P]

For the consumer market 1080P HDTV BLU-RAY media and 1080P displays most likely will be the highest quality format available for purchase for around 10 years. Perhaps in 8-10 years we could start seeing announcements for consumer 4K projectors and a coming 4K optical format with a 1TB or more of storage.
Here are a couple of brochures for the Sony SXRD 4K projectors with 8.8 million pixels. These projectors are targeted for the professional Cinema and professional computer graphics market. These SXRD have a resolution of 4096 X 2160 which is much better then 1080P. One can only dream that perhaps in the far future a affordable consumer version might be made. In 10 years we might start up converting old 1080P BLU-RAY discs to 4K resolutions until a 4K format is launched.

What, with a 20-foot screen? How about a commercial theatre?

Actually, yes....well sorta. I've got 3 bedrooms where I'm knocking down the 2 walls that seperate them. Should leave me with a room that is 30' x 50'. As I know that the regular 1080P would be sufficient, its the same concept as people buying 32" 1080P tv's.. lol But I think this would make quite a difference. Besides... no need to hold back from what the future is bringing us.

Wow ... in seriousness though, depending how close you sit to the screen maybe you could get away with a 10 or 12-ft 4k image, a super-sharp and super-bright one.

As for people who say that 1080p is indistinguishable on (e.g.) a 32" screen, they forget that the actual cinema has a front row.

The list price for the Sony SXRD-S110 which features a 10,000 lumen light source is about US$100k, without a lens.

It is able to display a single 4k image, or up to 4 2k (1920x1080) images.

It also requires a 220V power supply to drive it but so do most e-Cinema grade projectors and projectors in that brightness bracket, so that's no surprise.

No worries. It will be $499 at BestBuy in about 10 years.

Cheers!
