Sub-$1000 1080p projector from Vivitek around the corner

Sub-$1000 1080p projector from Vivitek around the cornerSure, you can get a LCD or plasma HDTV for $1000.  However, then you’re stuck with a fixed screen size.  This August, Vivitek is planning to ship the H1080FD 1080p DLP projector at $999 (retail price).  Just think about watching anything at over 100-inches. 

The H1080FD has some modest specs - only two HDMI inputs and a 5,000:1 contrast ratio.  For less than a grand, it’s hard to complain, though.  Just grab a HDMI switcher and some blackout curtains while you’re getting the H1080FD.  The projector also has component video inputs as well as S-video and composite.  I doubt many will be taking advantage of the S-video and composite inputs since the real reason to get this projector is its 1080p HD capability. 

If you’re curious about that fellow in the picture, he is the Sr. Product Manager at Vivitek, Christopher Yang.
