The $20,000 PowerLite Pro Z8000WUNL (geez, please put a dash somewhere in that model number) is now shipping in USA.
Spec'd at 6000 ANSI lumens, the WUXGA projector (1920x1200) offers up a 5000:1 contrast ratio, a unique liquid cooling system (something that reminds me of the early days of CRTs) and features Epson's high-aperture 3-chip 3LCD technology.
The PowerLite Pro Z8000WUNL is great for rental as it includes a center-mounted lens design as well as +/- 70 degree vertical and +/- 20 horizontal shift.
