Latest News on Sony's SXRD PJ

[George Bellefontaine]

Sony has announced it will be available to consumers this winter at around $10,000. US. That's quite a difference from the guessed at figure of $20 to $30,000. Wonder what happened. This was supposed to be a high end replacement for their VPH90G crt.

The release states that a Carl Zeiss optical zoom lens will also be available to meet all room requirements. Does this mean the lens will be sold separately. They don't mention price of the lens.

A cautionary note:
I picked this info up on another well known PJ site. It did not show a link and I could not find a news release at the Sony International site, so maybe this is all just a cruel hoax.

The Toshiba's also have the Carl Zeiss lenses. So they can't be that much!

I wonder Toshiba FPTV's aren't that popular. They sure have great specs and components. I have to ask ,being a huge Toshiba fan myself. :P

Relax Trev...I'm just Joshing

I think if that projector hits that price mark...it should be incredible what will be available in 2005 when I'm ready to jump into the projector market.

Even yester-years hi-end technology wil be afforable and look remarkable when compared to what I use now. Heck my tv screen ain't even flat so it's all a matter of perspective and what side of the shitter you approach from

Well it now appears this so-called news release was a hoax. The only Sony SXRD is the Qualia at $30 Gs. Too bad because this would really have shaken up the projector market had it been true. Are you listening, Sony ?
