Every so often, a projector hits the market that's just
so delectable, it's hard to stop fantasizing about what pieces of your kids' rooms could be auctioned off in order to procure it. Enter the $14,995 Meridian MF10, which is most certainly one
those units. Packin' a
totally familiar black chassis, three 0.7-inch 1080p D-ILA chips, a native 30,000:1 contrast ratio, 700 lumens, and a 2x zoom lens (2:35:1 Cinemascope is optional), this PJ exudes confidence. You'll also find a pair of HDMI 1.3 ports along with component, S-Video and composite (saywha?), an RS-232 control terminal and the ability to play nice with the firm's $3,995 DVP2351 digital video processor (shown after the jump). Yeah, they're both available as we speak, but can your Centurion Card really handle it? [

Can you say JVC RS-2 ReBadge?

700 lumens will create a very dim image at any substantial size. This will drive a 6-7' screen unless you like a very dim image or have a very short throw.

I hope they overpriced it enough. Particurarly for such a dim bulb unit.

It's a great PJ as long as you don't mind paying twice the price of a JVC RS2 as someone else mentioned. The biggest problem spending this kind of cash on a PJ is a projector at a quarter of the price will outperform it in 18 months!

You guys seem to be right--"why pay the extra cash for a unit that seems substantially like the JVC PJ's?"
I can't seem to get an answer from local dealers as to the difference between the JVC RS2 and the HD100. Anyone have experience with these units? Thanks
