While at CDW.com, I found that they list this FP for $4659 ("ships 1-2 weeks"), which is less than the LP530. They also say it is LCD, while ProjectorCentral sez DLP. It seems to be a clone of the LP530 - 2000 lumen, but 800:1 contrast vs. 400:1 for the 530. If it's cheaper than the LP530, even betterer. Optoma web site has no info other than the CEDIA press puffery.

Any info about bulb life/cost? Any sightings/reports?


STILL looking for an LT150-killer! I need more lumens and lower bulb $/hour, even at a higher initial price...

This projector definitely seems to be flying under the radar...I too have high hopes for this projector. However, Optoma's decision not to show it at Cedia (at least I've seen no reports of such) is a little disquieting. The specs look good, but maybe it's not quite ready for prime-time? I certainly hope that's not the case, as I see this (and the LP530) on my short list (or of course waiting for more native 16x9 projectors to come out is also an option). Ahh, the eternal question - when and what to buy!
