I just received an e-mail from a Canadian e-tailer about the release of the BenQ in Canada for under $3K. I can't discuss pricing but let's say that it squeeked into this forum by a few hundred bucks based on the Canadian retail price.
Oddly enough, I haven't been able to track down pricing in the U.S. yet???
FWIW - this sounds like one heck of a projector! DLP, 10,000:1 contrast (utilizing a dual iris), 1200 lumen, moderate throw (13' for a 98" screen), 2 HDMI inputs, 12 volt trigger, etc. It also incorporates the feature that allows the user to eliminate the black bars from a 2.35:1 (or wider) film apparently without distorting the image (we'll see).
This is good news. With an initial street price of under $3K should mean sub $2K in a few months. I'm also not sure about BenQ's 'screw-Canada policy'. I would imagine the U.S. retail would be lower.
