Sony VPL FH300L 2K Projector

[Edgar Pitts]

We are looking into a 2K projector. Anybody have thoughts or experiences on this model: Sony VPL FH300L

Price without lens is about $30k.

Thanks.

Seems overpriced to me. There has to be something as good or better out there for less money.

It's nice that the Sony is 2k, but that's a lot of coin for 6% more display than 1080p projectors.

My personal opinion is that if I don't go whole hog and get a 2k Christie CP series, or Barco DP90P, then I'll save as much money as possible and get a professional 1080p rez projector well suited to grading in the JVC DLA-RS2 for under $8K.

I've seen them in several professional DI theater configurations, and they're great. There's an older, 2k version out there, but it seems to me that the new 1080p models reproduce blacks a little better, and come in HDMI 1.3. I saw one yesterday in a smaller Baselight DI theater, and it's a trulyimpressive projector.

cheers,

John T.

I have never used one, but that Sony is on my short list, when it comes time to get a better projector. We are winging it with a UW60 for now.
