If only all home theater projectors were made this way! This SIM2 Grand Cinema HT3000 projector nails the 1080p with the best and brightest tech, and lets you hook up more sources than you can shake a stick at, including six HDMI 1.3 inputs.
That control unit you see in the pic underneath the swooping Italian-designed projector is an outboard video processor into which you plug all your stuff, and then its proprietary High-Definition Optical Signal Transfer (H.O.S.T.) system links up to the SIM2 HT3000 projector that can be installed up to 750 feet away.
This is about as high-end as you can get for home theater, with 10-bit color processing and the latest .95-inch DLP chip from Texas Instruments inside. Its all-glass optics and super high-powered Alphapath light engine let you project onto a huge screen, up to 300 inches. Shipping today, all this outlandish performance has a price to match — you’ll drop $21,595 or more, depending on your lens choice. Wow.

Ironically you can buy a 1080p projector + 10-bit scaler combo for less than half the price and still achieve stellar performance. The difference comes down to the quality of the installer.
