When I was shopping for a projector, it seemed like the choice really boiled down to this;
You could get a damn good projector for under $10,000.
If you wanted to improve on that, you really had to go to the next market segment and that was really around the $30,000 mark. We're talking MSRP here.
At that time, it seemed to me and many others that to get that something extra, the way to go was to move up to a three chip DLP and the best value -- this is not a joke, folks! -- was the Sim2 C3X1080 with an MSRP around $30,000.
What do you get for that kind of money?
A better picture, dammit!
Since then, just scanning the forums, I know that Sim2 has updated the C3X line with the Sim2 Lumis
and now there seems to be some competition at that price point.
Questions;
For someone shopping in this "step-up" segment, which projectors are the usual suspects for an audition line-up?
If you have experience in this area, what's your opinion?
Which is the best?
On a side note, is this still the case, or is there a serious market segment for projectors somewhere in the middle between 10,000 and $35,000 MSRP?
MICO?
If so, we can start another thread at that price.
