For those that feel the need to move up to a 1080P projector I'm sure the Pearl at around the speculated 4K price point, will when compared with the 1080P competition, offer fantastic picture performance for the money
However with 720P DLP machines on the horizion,for well under a grand (Optoma H70) and other good 720P DLP projectors just above this price point (H72,HC3000...) will the step up in picture performance offered by the Pearl justify the extra outlay??
Or to put it into other words is the Pearl likely to offer that much better performance to a 720P DLP machine rated at 4000:1 contrast at typical screen sizes and viewing distances???
As projectors are improving all the time I would expect the improvements to be fairly marginal and questioning the value of anything is always subjective, however the Pearl at 4 times the money of a good DLP PJ may find the market which is flooded with sub 1K 720P DLP machines tougher than expected.
Having said that though as DLP in not an option for me (RBE) it won't stop me saving for one.
