Don't know how many of you are searching for a large venue projector, but Sanyo's latest PLC-HF10000L really does sound like a beast of a projector with its above Full HD resolution and 10,000 lumen brightness, although its prohibitive $34,995 price tag means you won't see many of these in a home cinema setup near you anytime soon.

But we can't hold that against it, since this wasn't designed for such a use in the first place, although a Real 2K (2048x1080 pixels) resolution projector is certainly something every home cinema buff out there would want to have.  

Apart from the high resolution, Sanyo also added a bunch of other innovative technologies to this 3LCD projector like a yellow color control device (to the already available red, green and blue elements) that automatically controls the amount of yellow light in the image to improve color accuracy, produce a wider color gamut and enable higher brightness levels.

The PLC-HF10000L comes with a 3,000:1 contrast ratio, a wide selection of fixed and zoom lenses in standard, wide and long configurations while also being capable of displaying two images simultaneously in either picture-in-picture or picture-by-picture modes.

When additional projectors are required, such as when needed to create an extremely large image, its Color Matching and Edge Blending features would definitely come in handy, allowing multiple images to be presented on the same screen without sharply defined borders or variations in hue.

"Sanyo QuaDrive technology combined with Real 2K resolution allows us to offer extremely high value in the large-format projector market with an amazing 10,000 ANSI lumens of brightness and widescreen presentation," stated Sam Malik, Vice President of Sanyo's Digital Solutions Division, and General Manager of the Corporate Solutions Group.

"We are offering a compelling reason for operators of large venues and the rental and staging companies to upgrade to the latest technology by having a product that offers a very low lifetime total cost of ownership and being priced to be extremely competitive for projectors with similar brightness."

All in all, this really sounds like one of the best large venue projector available right now, although I can hardly wait for the time when 2K Resolution will become standard for top of the line home cinema setups.
