Yesterday Pioneer showcased their newest HD projector, the "Liquid Crystal on Silicon" (LCoS) KRF-9000FD. Pioneer showed the projector at the High End Trade Show in Munich and promised a few cool things. At first the company said it is capable of displaying 1920x1080 pixel progressive video at sizes up to 14.5 by just over 8 feet. At Afterdawn.com they did a fast calculation and said this is the equivalent of a 200-inch TV screen.
Of course the projector can zoom with its 2x motorized zoom lens which allows it to work perfectly in smaller rooms. As being a real home entertainment projector, this gadget needs to be enjoyed in larger areas. Besides being the equivalent of at least a 60-inch TV screen, the projector is believed to be flexible. "Flexibility is also the KRF-9000FD's strength, thanks to a lens that allows 80% vertical and 34% horizontal adjustments without affecting the image, leaving it square on the wall or screen. The native aspect ratio is 16:9 and movie theater-like 2.35:1 is supported. Brightness is rated at 600 ANSI lumens," states Pioneer.
