Just wondering what everyone's thoughts are on 4K projectors. I am sure there is a wealth of knowledge around the internet but before I jump into all of it, I think we are a fairly knowledgable group of people and I have stepped away from the hobby for a few years so I am wondering whats everyone thinks.
Some info:
Currently running a Runco I think its their SC-50D (bought in very early 2007) with a 2.35 lens on an automated sled. Throw distance is approx 30' and my screen is a 2.35:1 Stewart with auto side masking. I think its 12' wide. Im using a Lumagen Radiance XE processor because the Runco from that era was pretty crummy! The projector can throw out a very bright image with what looks to my eyes as very good dynamic range and good (but not very good) blacks.
Projector is in its own HVAC controlled room with special optical glass.
I don't really care about 3D.
I have a feeling I am looking at a fairly large expenditure if I want to go 4K but like I said before, just wondering what you all think. One day I will do it, its really a question of when.
