I have been looking a projectors for a while and traditional projectors of any decent quality are at least $1499. But their resolution stinks.
Then it looked like a new market appeared..... the Pico projectors.... Less than $499, usually small form factor, some even fit in pockets, can be mounted to cell phones (Moto), etc.
But then there is the hangup. Screen resolution and maybe a close second is the lumen output.
I have a vague idea how projectors work but do not understand the technical details.
What I am looking for is a "Native" not some algorithm that "fakes" true 4K resolution in an affordable projector with decent lumen output.
It seems like what ever TFT/ LCD panel they use to pass the light source though is so prohibitively expensive that no one can built, mass market and sell a sub $2999 4k projector......
I mean that LCD panel cannot cost that much to produce. They are just greedy (Insert words here).
I mean, monitors have gotten so cheap over the years, I remember when a 24 inch Sony wide screen CRT for CAD work in the 1990's was $4000 and now you can get LED/LCD 24 inch monitors for under $300.
So what is the deal with projectors? It's like they are asking for 10,000% profit margin on them. There is no way they cost as much as they do.
Even the lenses are not that expensive.... My DSLR lenses cost way more than the cheap crappy lenses do that they put on projectors.
