Marantz debuts 1080p projector Marantz has announced the debut of a new projector, dubbed the VP-11S2 DLP projector.
The new projector features full 1080p HD Resolution, (1920 by 1080) and comes with a myriad of inputs including component, composite, s-video, RGB, and two HDMI 1.3 inputs. Another interesting feature is the projector comes with two control ports, one of which is a RS-232C port.

The company also says the projector will be the first model to "be fitted with Texas Instrument’s new DarkChip4 chipset. This chipset will help boost the 11S2’s brightness and contrast, giving it 800 ANSI lumens and a 12000:1 contrast ratio."

No details on price are available yet.

This is the price of the first gen.....GOOD GOD ALMIGHTY!

VP-11S1BL 1080p DLP Projector | $19,999.99


HD I believe has a difference when it comes to brightness and lumens so more is not quite as necessary. BUT for 20K..........you best damn well provide me with at least 4000 lumens so I agree with 'duckNrun's' funny statement.
