optoma_logo_new.gifI try to pay close attention to the price of 1080p projectors. My ultimate plan is finish my basement and use a ceiling mounted projector as part of my home theater set-up.

Several manufacturers are shipping 1080p projectors for around $2500. Optoma is the latest company to join Epson in the 1080p with the impending release of its HD-803 projector. From the press release,

The HD803 features a 1080p DLP® DMD chipset from Texas Instruments and an 8,000:1 contrast ratio with Optoma’s proprietary ImageAI-II™ technology, which lets the HD803 deliver excellent color saturation and subtle details for superior image quality. The Optoma HD803 features studio-grade resolution for the high-quality, HD experience that enthusiasts crave.

Here are some of its notable features:

  • 1200 Lumens and 800:1 contrast ratio
  • Dual HDMI 1.3
  • Three-stage video processign system

In the right room, manly one with little daylight (i.e. a basement), a projector is a great option for a large picture. The HD803 should be available this December.
