I'm all for short throwing, but thats one big a** projector! Could u wall mount that beast? How much does it weigh? Too complicated, looks good though

Won't it be nice when the future is all like this. No more rear/ceiling mounting and running wires to your projector, just set up the projector in the cabinet with your gear and be done with it. Oh come soon!

This is a great idea but I just dont like the Sanyo name. Sony, Mitz, Pioneer, just about anything else.

They're also knows as: Eiki or Christie...

I would like this more if... it were above 5000 lumens with a good contrast ratio. Price isn't as important lets say under $75,000 and you have me interested. FYI I don't have $75,000, but I do professional video and audio and the people I work for and do installations for do have that much. It could be a neat alternate solution to bulky rear projection systems.

oh, and that image it's throwing up can't be real, obviously a photoshop.

the post says that it has 7,000 lumens

I've never been huge on projectors but this technology takes the cake!

If they can carve out a few cubby holes for home theatre gear(with A/V inputs right in the cubby?), then the thing would double as an entertainment stand(not that you'd have anything to stand on it), which would justify it's dongeriffic size.
What I don't get though...isn't a short throw projector really just an optical acheivement? Is the projector this giant because it needs to be, or because it would look foolish to have a phone book sized dealio sitting on the rug?

Actually that image is not entirely accurate. The girl is only about 24 inches tall. just to make everything look bigger
