When HD just isn't enough: Canon's REALiS WUX10

CANON REALiS WUX10
From the "Too Cool" file: Canon announced the REALiS WUX10 back in June at InfoComm, I watched a demonstration there and was pretty amazed by the color, resolution and picture quality: 3200 lumens of brightness, 1000:1 contrast ratio... but the real kickers are widescreen 16:10 aspect ratio and WUXGA resolution, that's 1920 X 1200, enough pixels to make HD look downright blurry. Okay, maybe not blurry, but it is actually higher resolution that full quality 1080p HD. And, lest you think your only projector options involve 3LCD and DLP chips, this model uses Canon's LCoS (Liquid Crystal on Silicon) chip, which the company claims completely eliminates the "screen door effect" of less advanced technology.
Now admittedly, at its $12,999 MSRP, this could be moved from the "Too Cool" file to the "Too Cool For School" file for now, but it's a pretty unique and amazing technology that I couldn't resist highlighting. And who knows? Maybe Black Friday 2009 will see this for some incredible price.
