Mark W, thanks for the compliment. This is how I feel about my 861 and 8000s. While many of the 861s capabilities are now being competed with in the market place for less money, I've been enjoying the 861 for 9 years now- and the 8000s for 5 years.
Mark H, I do not think the competition will get anywhere near this for many years. How long have anamorphic lenses, motorized sleds, and the software in the VP to adjust for this been available? We still don't see too many turn key solutions in the market and those that are are still expensive. I agree technology usually comes down in price, but the sweet spot in the market is still getting into 1080P- I think we have many many more years of that. I can see other high end players doing something similar but my guess is their pricing will have to be close. The projectors that are more affordably priced, like the JVC ones, are really fantastic but this is just a different world.
Interesting that Meridian is doing this at the time that Runco was sold and I personally am unsure of how their products will be affected (could be they are fine- could be they are in trouble).
Manus, whether you are an M Geek or not
This is a great thing to know about because the technology will eventually trickle down. 10 years from now you might not have Mr. Phelps over for tea but you might see the benefits of his work in your Meridian F1080 super awesome projector.
best regards,
Jerry
