IFA 2007 - Samsung's SP-A800B 1080p DLP Projector
If the latest 1080p DLP projector to join Samsung's range reminds me of anything, it's my great-uncle Gordon. Not because he had a Texas Instruments DLP chip complete with a 10,000:1 contrast ratio and 24fps film mode, but because after a traumatic end-of-the-war champagne accident he was left as a grumpy looking cyclops. Still, even the SP-A800B could bring a smile to his lips (well, what was left of them) thanks to such niceties as 1920x1080 resolution and 1000 ANSI Im brightness from the 300W bulb.
In terms of connectivity, Samsung supply two HDMI ports, an analog PC connection, two component, one S-Video, standard video and a RS-232C to round things off. It's undeniably a high-end machine, but we'll have to wait for a release date and the inevitable high price since Samsung are keeping us in suspense (and not, like great-uncle Gordon, in suspenders).
