$100,000 home theater projector can be yours for $99,995
Vidikron's flagship Vision Model 150 is now available.
(Credit: Vidikron)We have to give the folks at Vidikron a hard time about the company's announcement that its flagship front projector, the Vision Model 150, is now shipping. Make no mistake, the thing looks awesome. (I think that word was in the press release somewhere.) But what's with the $99,995 pricing for the base model? If I've got that kind of money to spend on a projector, what do I care about 5 bucks? We're not talking about a $999.99 plasma; we're talking about the ultimate projector. So come on, guys, let's go straight to a hundred grand.
For the full specs on this three-chip DLP projector, you can go to Vidikron's Web site. It doesn't cost anything to look.
