Runco is the first to bring you a fully digital projector. For years digital projects have actually be analog. The light from these project lamps and that show up on the screen have been 100% analog. Because of this, the performance of the lamps will change over time and shift in color, fidelity, gamma, and gray-scale tracking. These all affect the output of the lamps power which fades over it’s life. These lamps also need to be replaced about every 2000 hours and we all know the expense that goes along with it.
LED front projection is here, and the Q-750i ($14,995) is Runco’s refined take on this next big thing in front projection. Runco rates the life span of the Q-750i’s LED illumination at 60,000 hours. It also claims that the light output will drop less than 10 percent over that time. Color and gamma tracking should remain in line as well, and look Ma, no lamp changes. Obviously, this convenience and reliability come at a premium in price. In a projector world where superlative sub-$10,000 projectors rule, is there enough performance here to justify that high price tag?
