Pioneer Kuro KRF-9000HD Projector Features LCoS Technology, Hefty Price

Pioneer's KRF-9000HD projector, the latest in its Kuro line, features full 1080p resolution, wide lens shift, a couple of HDMI 1.3 ports, and both composite and component inputs. The best part though is the 30000:1 native contrast ratio enabled by "liquid crystal on silicon" (LCoS) projection technology. Liquid Crystal on Silicon is similar to DLP technology, but rather than mirrors, uses liquid crystals like LCD's. However, LCD projectors use liquid crystal that allows light to pass through, while LCoS chips have liquid crystals directly applied to a silicon surface with an aluminum coating that is highly reflective.

Given the Kuro KRF-9000HD's high-end technology, expect to pay a high-end price, and you will. The price? About $12500!
