PD7150

PD7150 Home Theater Projector (5000:1)

Attention friends: You may now reattach your jaw.

When a 5000:1 contrast ratio unites with 1000 radiant lumens, two things are bound to happen. Friends will covet. And friends will ultimately have to be reminded to leave. It's all because of 921,600 pixels at native 720p, integrator-friendly features such as horizontal and vertical lens shift, DLP's DarkChip technology, and a girth of connectivity options. Warning: Standing in awe is about to become an obsession.
