Optoma HD8600 Digital Video Projector

Long known for exceptional value in DLP projectors, Optoma introduced another winner in this regard at CEDIA. The HD8600 is one of the only—if not the only—single-chip DLP projector with multiple lens options for less than $10,000. To be more specific, the projector with standard lens lists for $7500, while the long-throw lens option is $8600, and the short-throw version is $9500. It is said to output 1600 lumens with dynamic contrast of 50,000:1 thanks to Texas Instruments' Dynamic Black. It also provides lens shift, which has been missing in the company's previous models.

Brightness(Lumens):1600 ANSI. Contrast (Full On/Off): 50000:1. Digital Keystone: Vertical. Lens Shift: Horz & Vert. HDTV:720p, 1080i, 1080p/60, 576i, 576p. Anamorphic Ready/RS232 Port.
