LG CF3D 3D Projector Unveiled

Tweet

If you’re already purchased LG’s 3D Monitor and their 3D HDTV, but still desire a bigger screen, then they’ve got your back with the new LG CF3D, a 3D high-def projector. This isn’t that crazy of a concept, if you think, for example, 3D has existed in movie theaters since the 1950′s, and those use projectors.

However, unlike the dual-lens projectors of old 3D theaters, the new LG 3D projector only has a single lens, rather than dual left and right ones. LG told the press at CES that they intend this to be a consumer product. Despite that, it’ll come with a heavy price tag of $10,000.

The CF3D will offer some impressive A/V specs, including 2,500 lumens, a 7,000:1 contrast ratio, and full 1080p HD video. The LCoS projection is done via Sony’s SXRD technology with six panels, and LG is claiming the projector is offering a ‘true cinema experience’.

You’ve got to have the latest equipment to run with this projector. It’ll only have two HDMI ports and a few USB ports – no VGA, DVI or older ports, but something tells me that if you can afford to spend $10,000 on a 3D HD projector, HDMI ports aren’t an issue.

LG had some models on hand at CES, but they were under heavy glass and not being demonstrated to the press. LG says the model will go on sale in May of 2010.

Props to SlashGear for the pictures.
