Christie launches 1080p DLP HD405 projector

by Darren Murph, posted Dec 20th 2007 at 5:41PM

We've heard of Christie's projectors being used in grandiose scenarios, but the firm's latest should fit quite well in your average den. The HD405 is a single-clip DLP PJ that rocks a native 1080p (1,920 x 1,080) resolution, 4,100 ANSI lumens, 7,500:1 contrast ratio, 10-bit internal image processing and an array of ports including HDMI, DVI, VGA, component, USB, S-Video, RS-232 and a RJ45 port for ChristieNET connectivity. In case you're curious, this thing weighs in at a hefty 27.8-pounds and utilizes a pair of 300-watt hot-swappable UHP lamps, each of which should last around 1,500 to 2,000 hours. Oh, and we hope you brought the checkbook if you're seriously thinking about picking one of these up -- you know, considering that it lists at $24,495 and all.

Not for a home application. Christie projectors are for heavy-duty use, not some guy watching movies and playing video games in the basement "theater". We use these at work (not this model, but we'll be considering it for the small theater we're building) and we only use them in the largest rooms (6-800 person rooms) to throw an image a long, long way.

"$24,495" you said? Not a problem. I think I have enough in my car's loose change container. Hang on, let me go get it.

I think I'd rather matrix together 4 of panasonic's 1080p projectors using a brand new 3 way SLI computer to play crysis at full detail on a fully satured image with a 200" diagonal for the same price.

I'd probably have enough money to put the 200" screen that would be on the side of the house under roof.
