InFocus' 1080p DLP Play Big IN83 projector surfaces

Hey, you -- about to pull the trigger on a svelte new 1080p Play Big IN82? Hold your horses young buck, as it seems that the aforementioned unit's successor is just around the bend. Reportedly, the InFocus Play Big IN83 will house Texas Instrument's DarkChip 4 DLP chip and will feature a 1,920 x 1,080 resolution, 5,000:1 native contrast ratio, 10-bit video processing, an HDMI 1.3 input, automatic black level calibration, 1,600 lumens and a three-year warranty. Unfortunately, word on the street pegs this beauty at £3,500 ($6,948), so maybe that soon-to-be-discounted IN82 doesn't look like such a slouch after all.

sounds pretty awesome, but from what I've read about TI & DLP is they were really working on making the native contrast ratios in the 10k+ range. 5k is really good, but a lot of consumers are used to seeing higher numbers on lcds (although from "dynamic iris" stuff, which isn't as good). It'll probaby be more like $5k US as euro prices don't exactly translate.
