SIM2 C3X1080

SIM2 is a smaller manufacturer of very high end projectors and it introduced its most affordable 3-chip DLP 1080p projector: the C3X1080. How affordable can a SIM2 get? $30,000 in this case.

The C3X1080 uses TI's new DarkChip 4 DLP panels and is available with three lenses for various throw distances. Anamorphic lens attachments are optional extras. The $30,000 MSRP includes one of the standard lenses but not the anamorphic lens.

All aspects of the C3X1080 are configurable, including fully adjustable primary and secondary colors.

The image thrown by the C3X1080 was nothing short of breathtaking on the 10' wide 2.35:1 screen. The content was Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest on Blu-ray and put all of the other projectors we had seen up to this point to shame. The JVC RS2 and Sony's VW200 were no longer impressive, the C3X1080 was all there was.

Granted you could easily buy two VW200s or possibly up to four RS2s for the price of one C3X1080, so it's mostly a pipe dream but a beautiful one at that.
