Single chip with Alphapath and DB. Looks like lots of stuff from the Lumis platform!

I wonder how their 2.35 mode is generated...Lens memory or re-scaling of the image. This is being to rival soon to be released Digital projection's dVsion scope projector. Looks like with the lens & 3D options could easily take the price closer to 30k.

The Nero 235 has WQXGA resolution of 2560x1600 pixels...NICE!

Looks great, if they're properly priced and don't jump from $20k for the entry model to $30k for the 3D-2. Essentially a 1-chip Lumis. Hopefully they've worked on RBE, if that's not visible and the lens has little or no CA (unlike the Mico which is hit or miss), they have winner. At least it eliminates the convergence problems in the Lumis series.

Can't wait to see the 2.35 !!!


I love this time of year

16:10 is odd, but the resolution is fantastic- same as my 30" LCD.

These models start at $19995 and then go up in price, from a Twice Article. Wow. Just when I tthought I might have found a replacement for my Marantz VP series, Sim2 price it out of the Stratosphere

Nice to see Sim2 coming out with more Sim2 entry level machines. Just like Porsche weith their Boxter and Mercedes with their 3 series> Not cheap but . . . .

Mark I remember when the HT380, still listed as a current model? on the Sim2 site, launched at $13,000 (and that was in their HT series). Fast forward 4 years and now the Sim2 Nero line (which I'm putting as their HT line replacement) now starts at 65% more?


Does Porsche or Merecedes put up their pricing by 65% over the course of 4 years as well as their features get better, and technology trickle down from above, on a similar line?

 

[mark haflich]

I remember how cheap the first BMWs were in the late 60s and a Porche 912 Targa was $5200.

Thats 4 years I'm referring to and not 40 years

I understand some things gradually get more expensive over time, but over the course of 4 years to have an equivalent positioned line increase by 65% seems excessive to me. But that's just me.

I know. I know. But it seems just like 4 years ago.
