I was just thinking "what do they use for mastering high-definition stuff?" After all, there have been a couple of films shot entirely digitally now, the Star Wars prequels for a start (not sure about Ep1, but certainly 2 and 3).
So, it seems they use a standard called "4K", with a resolution of 4096 x 2160... This is the current ideal for "digital cinema".
You can buy a Sony 4K projector for a mere $60,000US
I couldn't find one on the Dixons website, nor on Froogle...
The replacement bulb (2000W) is a mere $2100. Being priced in USD, that is obviously exclusive of tax
Sounds pricey, but it really isn't so bad: people were spending that sort of money on 3-tube CRT home cinema projectors a couple of years ago (probably still are!). There were certainly a few £20K projectors out there, £30K is only a 50% increase (and think of the inflation).
So, will anyone here be buying one?
