Panasonic TH-DW10000
I was wondering when some company would start adding more lamps to make their projector brigher. Have a close look at the faceplate in the upper right. 4 bulbs...holy crap, it'll be expensive to run at $1200 every two years. Gotta wonder why no one has used automotive HID xenon lamps yet so we don't have to replace bulbs ;-)

They haven't even announced list yet, but I would guess that to be in the ~$45K area.
As for reviewing it, they are going into an installation I am not involved in, and which does not lend itself in any way to meaningful HT tests, so I won't be able to do that. Sorry.
